At 35, Lionel Messi is still arguably the best player in the world. He proved that with the national team recently, winning the Finnalisma and then scoring 5 goals in one match against Estonia. His stats over the years prove just how good the player is.

At the club level, in 809 career games, Lionel Messi has scored 681 goals while providing an astonishing 317 assits. He is one of the highest-scoring players in football history and the highest assist provided in football history.
