Lionel Messi is the best player to ever grace the pitch. Without a shadow of a doubt, he is the GOAT.
This might be difficult for MLS fans to believe. Probably because, and if we're being completely frank, he doesn't play as much as a GOAT should. But there was once a time.
Anyway, Messi's career in MLS might not have gone the way the big investors would have hoped. However, that doesn't mean Messi has been a bad player. Messi being bad doesn't exist in any universe, and he's still put in some magical moments while wearing Heron pink.
