There needs to be more talk about the 2015 season, where Messi scored 58 goals and provided 31 assists in 57 games and won the treble 🤯🤯🤯

[@dukeonwheels]

That season gets talked about plenty. This doesn’t. Messi was on a rampage in 2012-13. Never seen a guy racking up goals like Steph Curry drains buckets. It was absolutely unreal. What this video didn’t mention was Messi’s total goal contributions during this span. He scored 91 goals. Most players will never even sniff that number in goals AND assists, let alone in one calendar year. If you totaled his goals AND assists over that 2012-13 period, he’s well over 100. For most players, those are a whole career stats, not one-year stats.

[@danielo257]

Agree. 2019 Messi is the most complete player ever. He was a whole team in one player.

[@chuka6625]

2019 was not prime Messi, but it was surely Barcelona’s most reliant on him. Neymar was long gone, Suarez was on the decline, Dembele and Coutinho were not reliable. But don’t be mistaken, there is literally nothing Messi could do in 2018/19 that he couldn’t do in 2014/15. But you can clearly see that his pace had taken a dip. 2011/12 with top scorer 50 goals (still the current la liga record) and top assister 16 is probably even more impressive than 2018/19 and something we might never see in the game again.

[@danielo257]

@chuka6625 You're right but in 2015 the reliability on him was much lower. The fact the he literally took a very mid team to be 2 games away from treble is amazing. 2019 Barcelona was nowhere near this level without him.

[@chuka6625]

@@danielo257 sure more reliability on him, but don’t confuse that with prime. you need to relax with the “much lower” bit. he got 25 man of the match awards in 14/15 and 17 in 18/19. Barcelona hugely relied on him, both in La Liga and UCL. In 14/15, he did not have a single average game.

Messi’s worst year would be the best season for 95% of footballers ever. Some say it’s Maradona, buy Maradona’s peak didn’t last that long. Messi has been the best player in the world or in the conversation for the best every year for the last 15 years. Some say it’s Cristiano Ronaldo, but having lived through all of it, and seeing what Messi continues to do, I can say Cristiano could never do what Messi did week in and week out, while Messi could do what CR7 did best, which was score.

What’s even crazier is the fact that if Messi didn’t get injured in 2013, he probably could’ve broken his own record of 91.
