Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3462113, member: 9651"] I was about to go to town with a response but you've nailed most my points. Post above mentions banging in goals against Cadiz and La Liga being a 'two horse race'. For the best part of Messi's career at Barca, La Liga was the best league in the world. Those sides you mentioned were consistently in the latter stages of Europe. It's only really been overtaken by the EPL in the last 2-3 years, that's evident by the UEFA coefficient. Nothing Messi has done at PSG is relevant to the debate. He was amongst the greats before he left Barca. I do think trophy collecting in the Ligue 1 means nothing. The Balon D'or and Copa America do though. If he can win a UCL there it'll be massive for him and put to bed the whole one club player thing. This is such a silly point after arguing Pele and Maradona are greater. If you want to poke holes in Messi's club career you have to appreciate that those two played the majority of their careers in Argentina/Brazil. You can hardly argue the quality of those opponents Pele was banging them in for Santos was any better than Cadiz. [/QUOTE]
