Messi's stats are phenomenal but I feel if we're judging him by stats then we're missing the point.

Messi is an artist that does things that bring you joy.

I do believe Ronaldo is easier to measure by stats as you often hear that he is the perfect footballer cos he can run fast, jump high, strike the ball hard with both feet, head the ball etc but Messi is more than that in my opinion.

You can't define how he controls games. His vision, movements and decision making is something that is on a new level. I thought Maradona would always be the best I've ever seen but this guy takes football to the next level.
