Arguably the greatest player of all time, Lionel Messi has totally altered our perspective of the game with his displays since he graced the football field.

Blessed with incredible technique, speed, and close control, Lionel Messi is not only one of the greatest playmakers of all time, but also one of the best goalscorers in history.
The Barcelona man's records speak for themselves, while his rivalry with Ronaldo has been the stuff of legend. With 65 goals from 128 matches, Messi is Argentina's all-time record goalscorer and for all his successes, it is, however, a pity that he is yet to lead La Albiceleste to a major trophy.
The 31-year-old has scored 674 goals from 851 matches which comes at an astonishing ratio of 0.79 goals/match and is enough to place him in second place on the list of highest scoring active players.
