Is Lionel Messi Overrated?

Look, we all know that Messi is a great player, but everyone waxes lyrical about him like he carries his team on his shoulders.

On his day he is unplayable granted, but what would he do if his supply was cut off (Xavi, Iniesta etc.)

Messi is the best player in the world, but even the best can be overrated (if you get what I mean), he is not superhuman like many decide to label him. The Messi debate will rage on.

So, is Messi overrated? Discuss.

Mourinho seems to have perfected his Real Madrid idea now. It's not only a technically able team, but also powerful.

Barca appear to have upset their perfect balance from last season by trying to accomodate Cesc. If anything, Cesc's first touch and passing aren't quite at the level of Xavi and Iniesta, although he did say that this was something he would have to work on to match their level.

But the point is, Messi's personal records have continued to improve despite the apparent drop in Barca's overall cohesion.

To be considered GOAT.

You must win the world cup.

Messi will never win one sadly
