Messi, the best player of all time?

The name Lionel Messi is always conected to FC Barcelona.
 That is because this fenomenal player played for only one team beside Barcelona, that's Newwel's Old Boys (1995-2000).
 His first unofficial debut was against Porto when he was only 16 years and 145 days old, and after less than a year he played league derby against Espanyol when his was 17 years 114 days old and by that he became the third youngest player in the history of Barcelona.

Against Albacete he scored a goal and was the youngest player of Barcelona who scored a goal (17 years 10 months 7 days) in La Liga until 2007 when his teammate Bojan Krkic broke this record on the assist of Messi.
 He became the standard player in the 2006/2007 by finishing the season with 14 goals in 26 league matches.

Probably his best season is 2008/2009 when he found the way to the net 38 times and his team won 3 trophies.
 In 2009 he won the FIFA award for the player of the year.
 A lot of people think that he is new Maradona.
 Maybe that is because this player is also from Argentina and has similar style as Diego Armando Maradona. In 2006 he played for national team on the World Championship and was the youngest player who played for Argentina on that championship.
 His country won silver medal in 2007 on Copa America. On the Olympic games Argentina won the gold medal.

This 24-years-old striker played 187 games for Barcelona scoring 132 times and 63 matches for his national team with 18 goals.
 But, when we hear Messi we never think about all these numbers, in our mind we are thinking of some of his great shots, assists or driblings.
 Football fans have always asked each other "Maradona or Pele?".
Well now they have one more player, Lionel Messi.
