@Messievsky He’s the biggest passer to the assister I’ve seen (pre-assist), if that makes sense. His relatively lesser assist numbers are somewhat deceiving because his job wasn’t to provide the end product (mostly). He’s not a KDB. That final pass/action was pretty much Messi’s role.
@Messievsky Also he had decisive & winning passes in 4 different champions league finals. So many important & underrated assists/passes, like the one to Pedro in the Clasico SF. When he had the opportunity to do the killer pass, he did it perfectly.
@Messievsky People on this app massively underrate his individual ability, probably due to him being such a team player. Btw, when Messi operated as a false 9 and less as a playmaker/missed many games too in 2012/13, guess who was the top assister of the league? The Don with 15 assists.
@Messievsky Not that assist numbers tell the whole story (or arguably even half of it), but that’s basically my point to begin with lol.

November 2008: "I’m the best player in the world, the second best player in the world and the third best player in the world. There are some more good players in the level behind me like Kaká, Torres and maybe Messi a bit, but I did all it takes to be the best". Image
July 2009: "I’m happy to be the most expensive player in the world. I worth 96M, others worth 0€, perhaps. The price that was payed for me shows the difference". Image
