Again I think in terms of one player being so influential in his team Diego stands higher but I would not compare league/club competitions with NT ones (continental and WC)
which statistics?
Look, this is my last post here for a while because it's nauseating and this historic revisionism crap is kind of sad and boring too. So here is my last post and see you post world cup where Neymar and Brazil win it and morons will run around and say Neymar is more than some koskesh from Brazil:
There is lots of talk and what not about Messi for the national team vs. Zidane for the national team.
Fact is that France made it to WC 98 final without Zidane scoring in any game, missing 2 games at all and overall not being any influence.
Fact is also that Argentina needed Messi to score or assist until the quarterfinals in every game.
Fact is that Argentina was not good enough without Messi to make it out of a group featuring Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria.
These are facts. Whatever else you talk about is not reality.
Yes, Barcelona from 2008-2013 was more than Messi. From 2015-now they are Messi and 10 random players, sometimes better players, sometimes worse players.
Put Messi in any other team in the world and they will automatically challenge for either a league title or the Champions League. Any team bar Barcelona at least for CL.
