Give him the greatest midfield of all time and not getting subbed out at the 60th minute when they’re demolishing teams and he can. Messi had all the right circumstances to reach it, if another player ends up in a similar situation it’s possible.
Every top team buys success. It’s not like city is the only team spending money they just use it more efficiently than other teams. Utd have spent the same amount of money in the last 10 years, yet obviously it’s not working. Chelsea are spending ridiculous amounts, Barcelona, and Madrid also do the same thing. You can’t hold it against city that they have great scouts and a great manager that maximize their spending.
Kdb has been the injured the majority of the time that haaland has been there. Also don’t try to downplay the rest of the team to make Messi seem more impressive. That Barcelona team is literally seen as one of the best of all time, it wasn’t just because of Messi. If haaland played every minute with a team that good he would have at least 70 a year. You also have to realize that scoring in La liga is easier for great players. Messi, Ronaldo, and Suarez were putting up over 50 a year.
