Messi

Captain Clever racing in again with his tongue lolling out to show everyone how much of a clever boy he is.

I said "go to another league", meaning club football.

Messi's record, by the way:

Arsenal: 6 games – 9 goals
Manchester City: 6 games – 6 goals
Chelsea: 10 games – 3 goals
Manchester United: 4 games – 2 goals
Tottenham: 2 games – 2 goals
Liverpool: 2 games – 0 goals

Ronaldo is on 12 goals.

Going to another league is a hypothetical situation, whereas playing for Argentina is a realworld example of his performance while playing for another team that isn't Barcelona. It's gives us some idea how he reacts to playing with a different set of players. Argentina have lots of easy games too.
