Zidane had everything in him, All around better than Messi. Watch some videos of Zidane in his early days and with Real Madrid, you have his passing, dribbling, long shots, headers, vision everything he completely destroyed teams on his own. Physically he is stronger and he also puts in a tackle as well. Messi is phenomenon, but not better than Zizou.
Completely disagree mate.
Messi can do almost everything and his assist/goal tally is what puts him above Zidane. Both awesome and quite different players, but if Messi keeps this up and manages to do it in a world cup for the Argies at some point, then he could possibly even be classed as THE best ever. He's that good.
That Barcelona team were immense tonight, perhaps the best team performance I have ever seen. Only their lack of squad depth can stop them winning absolutely everything this season.
The only thing that is stopping Messi to be the greatest is he doesn't do a Ronaldihno
