    Messi is greatest player the world has ever seen.

    What he can do with a football is frightening.

    Watching Messi play football gives me a wee happy, content feeling inside.

    Perfect free-kick. Didn't look like the Atletico players were happy that he took it, though.

    He had every right to hit. The keeper was never getting to it.

    If I thought anyone was better I would say so but there isn't in my opinion.

    Almost all of your posts this thread have been biased against Messi. If he was Brazilian and played for Madrid you would love him.

    He deserves all the praise he gets. He's a genius.

    To accuse someone else of bias about Messi, when you have Real Madrid propognada plastered all over your profile, suggests a case of pot-kettle-black. Whereas there is an argument to be had over whether he is in fact the greatest ever footballer, there is absolutely no argument to be had over his current status as (a) the best player in the world and (b) one of the very, very best to have laced his boots up. When you consider what he has achieved, at his age, and all with such effortless magic, any counter-argument can only arise through viewing it through your own agenda.

    Free kick was a moment of pure class. Couldn't have placed it better with your hand from there.
