So, it will come as no surprise that so many supporters and pundits have been eulogising about the 31-year-old this season.

However, it might be slightly more unexpected to hear that Simon Brundish - a professional sports scientists - has been analysing the Barcelona superstar.
A video has surfaced on Reddit of Brundish discussing Messi's statistics during an interview in December 2018, before his numbers became even more impressive.
the praise of Brundish really speaks volumes and he referred to the data as pure 'insanity.'
"There's only one person. While he's alive, there's only Messi, there's no discussion," he explained to CNN Sport.
"Messi has currently a goal or assist every 48 minutes. A game typically lasts 95 minutes so that's almost two every single game. Last season it was 58 minutes.
"Normally you're doing well if you get a goal every two games. It's insanity."If you look at the underlying statistics and something called xG-Build, you reverse engineer from the final shot and award a number to everyone involved in the chain of passing.
"So, you would expect that Luka Modric - the 'greatest' of all playmakers - would excel. 
"In xG-Build, they remove the final pass and the shot itself, so you can't be rewarded if you made the assist.
"But Messi still had a better number than Modric and creates a goal or assist every 48 minutes, and played 1,000 more minutes last season."

A petition on  Change.org  entitled "UEFA and FIFA should punish Sergio Ramos for intentionally hurting Mohamed Salah" has already amassed over 125,000 signatures. "Sergio Ramos intentionally kept Mohamed Salah's arm under his armpit, causing dislocation of his shoulder," the details read. "In addition, he kept acting that Liverpool players fouled him falsely, causing the referee to give Mane a yellow card he did not deserve. "Sergio Ramos represents an awful example to future generations of football players. Instead of winning matches fairly, he uses tricks that defy the spirit of the game and fair play. "UEFA and FIFA should take measures against Ramos and similar players, using the video recordings of matches to keep the spirit of the game." If you also agree with the Liverpool fans then must share... and save the beautiful game football.
