Hazard's dribbling success rate is insane

[Inquisitive_Nomad]

Maradona 1986 World Cup is that high because Messi and Neymar's stats cover their whole career whereas Maradona in the World Cup was his best prime. He never ever repeated the level he had in the World Cup
If football loved anybody then it would definitely be Maradona. One of my favs and my fav to watch when he has the ball

[Sergi.Galiano]

Messi scored 91 goals in 1 year but goalscoring is only like 10% of what he does on the pitch. Best passer and dribbler I have ever seen, creative genius, and he does all that seemingly effortlessly. It's not a coincidence he won everything in football 🏆

[samarthtathe]

As a Messi fan: yes this is a Messi appreciation BASED ON FACTS.

[Thefcbfan]

Bro, your music is a little bit too loud. But I appreciate your work! Keep on making them!

[Inquisitive_Nomad]

For those who know football it's clear that in football, he is unbeatable
Ronaldo is popular and like idolize him for his work ethic. He is one of my idols. And idols of many.
But in terms of football it's Messi over Ronaldo anyday if you know anything about football.

[depaceplays]

Watching Ronaldo, we say WOW
Watching Messi, we say

[Iliya]

Ronaldo: everyone's idol❤
Messi: everyone's goat🐐

[stavroshadjiyiannis]

Long story short, an ageing Messi was still heads, shoulders, torso and legs above anyone in world football.

[QuanTran-gsqe]

We need such an analysis to realize how brilliant Neymar actually was

[Zhuk-zces]

When someone says: "It's not statistics dude, it can't be explained by a bunch of numbers". I answer: "Yes, it's statistics, it's always statistics, you just don't see them."

[samyxxk]

increase the music a little bit more, we can still hear you

[timace]

Stats says Messi's the GOAT. Eye test solidifies it beyond doubt.

[Inquisitive_Nomad]

The more one starts understanding football (not just somw edits or reels of some very rare highlights of any player) they start appreciating Messi more and more.
And if they are open minded and ready to accept the truth then for them Messi becomes the greatest player they have witnessed.
For me Messi is the best since I have seen football bcuz comparing with those whom I have never seen is unfair

[Inquisitive_Nomad]

Once I said to my friend that if you think Zidane is the best you have seen than you never understood the quality of Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Nazario. And I have also said to my friend once that Johan Cryuff was Zidane on Steroids.
Actually he is obsessed of Zidane so I tend to give him a reality check.
For me Cryuff was better than almost every legend you have named except Maradona. Just because he didn't win the World Cup people don't recognise him as the top 3 now.

[Raghav-lqqh]

Big respect to Messi, Cristiano and Neymar, they really showed how they're in a league of their own. Loved the Maradona, Pele and Cruyff stats although they were from cherrypicked famous seasons they really showed their greatness at their prime. Goddamn this must've been a tough watch for the Messi haters out there

[robertomoreno]

This just confirmed what everyone knew CR7 and Neymar were the best in the world but Messi has always been light years ahead

[completefootball]

Ronaldo Nazario used to Dribble Keepers for fun. Add him in your chart to see where he stands

[AuronTyranitar]

Those cherry picked WC performances can't be compared to whole career statistics.
It's like if a youngster plays one game only and scores, you wouldn't have expected him to keep a 1.0 goal per match performance through an entire season, let alone a career, but he's gonna have a better rate than any of the regular starters that season.
So yeah, interesting to see, but there is no deep meaning to them.

[Iwantdote]

Conclusion for those busy people:
Messi is statistically better, along with playstyle . The history proves itself why he's the best of all time. Hope this helps.
