For the sake of football I just really hope that he gets to play at least 10 more years at top level and doesn't get his career ruined by injuries. Amazing fucking player.

This.

 

He needs to do it at the top level for 15+ years.  He's a phenomonal player, but we'll see - he's definitely got it in him.

That said, he probably would need to win a World Cup to be considered to be the greatest or even on par with Maradona, even though I rate him higher since the level is higher now-a-days I would say

We were talking about this at the pub. For us, he's without a doubt the best player in the world, and we're all questioning what the likes of Maradona could be better at to be considered better than Messi.The lad is just incredible.

Unbelievable...Some people here tend to believe that Wayne Rooney is better than Leonel Messi. I never figure out how they get this idea but I know they would still come out with different points trying to win that debate.
