There are arguments surrounding the fact that the Argentinean and Barcelona number 10 Lionel Messi is the best player ever to touch the ball. There are probably less than 1% football fans who think that Lionel Messi is a fluke or a player who does not deserve
what he has earned during the past few years. However, the truth is that he is, if not the best, then one of the best players to have played the game.
There is definitely no doubt that he is one of a kind. The young Argentinean was never supposed to be a goal scorer and his natural position was of a right winger. Taking advantage of his left foot, he could cut past a few players to dictate play in the
midfield and up front but the way he groomed himself is simply phenomenal.
Last season, Lionel Messi was simply in a different league. Despite the fact that he did not manage to find the back of the net while playing for his national team during the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa, there is no doubt that he simply had an outstanding
season while wearing the Blaugrana jersey.
Performing under Josep Guardiola and playing alongside players like Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi always found himself scoring goals. The Argentinean almost scored half a century last year and there was no player in the world who even came
close to his goal scoring form – not even the “in-form” Manchester United star Wayne Rooney. The Englishman could not find the back of the net more than the Chelsea star Didier Drogba, who could not find it more than the Argentinean maestro Lionel Messi could.
The little man is simply fabulous once he is in front of goal as the chances of him missing the target are very low whenever he makes a move forward.
This season, Lionel Messi has managed to score 27 goals in only 21 games that he has played. It is often seen that after scoring a goal, he sends kisses to the heavens and when he was questioned about this, he told that he dedicates his goals to his grandmother.
The current Ballon d’Or finalist agreed to the fact that if there was one person who could be responsible for bringing him into football, it was his Grandmother but the fact that she is not alive anymore simply kills him from inside.
He stated that his grandmother loved how he used to play football but unfortunately, she is not alive to see how he is doing nowadays. This season he has already scored so many goals and every time he scores, he looks towards the heavens and sends kisses
to that special woman who helped him become what he is today.
