Yeah.

But would he have been the best ever without the growth hormones?
No he would never have been a professional footballer. Which makes his subsequent career all the more remarkable.

Go find every midget child in the world. Then inject all of them with growth hormone. The likelihood of one of them ending up as the best footballer in the world is about a billion to one.

He's a genius and we should be grateful we've been alive to see him.
 
He has to be one of the greatest but are they all not too hard to compare through the generations?
Imagine best , maradonna playing whilst sober and having a mgt team around them keep them on the straight and narrow.
Defenders who could break you up with a tackle from any direction… pitches like swamps. Too hard to compare

You know my post was tongue in cheek right? 😂
 
There's no right or wrong answer here, I'm just glad Messi finally added the WC to his repertoire because if anything it puts him in the conversation of the best ever and people can't readily dismiss his achievements because he hadn't won a WC which is a silly argument anyway.
