As Messi’s career comes toward the end stages (and I hope he continues for another 5 years), one can only wonder if it is at all possible, for any generation to have a player like Messi. A player who can simultaneously be the greatest playmaker and goal scorer. A player whose stats outshine any other player in history. A player who can win 8 Ballon d’Ors in his career. A player who can actually do what magicians pretend to do. A player who despite achieving literally everything, can stay humble and down to earth.
I think it will take centuries for football to have a player like Messi again. How lucky are we to be able to see the greatness as it unfolds before our eyes?
Messi is an alien, nobody will ever see another Messi
