Lionel Messi is the best player in the world. But as his bad luck would have it, the poor chap has to play with a very weak team in the World Cup. Nevertheless, you can never really count out a team which has a legend like Lionel Messi in it because he alone can change the course of a game with his brilliance.
It is not a random coincidence that the only game Barcelona lost this season in the league was when the Argentine genius Messi wasn’t a part of the squad. With 34 goals and 12 assists from 36 league games, Messi is perhaps the most important player for the teams that he represents. When he plays, his teams tend to win – and Argentina would be hoping that he makes them win the biggest trophy of them all as well.
