Is Lionel Messi still the No. 1 player in the world? EliasBurke looks at how Messi compares to Kevin De Bruyne and Kylian Mbappe and what the data indicates about each player:
and the Champions League. It was only the second time in English football history a team has achieved the feat. On the way, he broke the Premier League’s single-season record for goals scored on his way to scoring over 50 goals in all competitions. If he continues on this destructive path, he’s bound to win at least one Ballon d’Or award in his career. But while Haaland is currently the world’s best finisher, his all-around game doesn’t match what Messi managed last season.
Take a hint of the best attackers over the past two decades, mix it up, and you end up with something like Mbappe. Thierry Henry’s pace, Ronaldo Nazario’s variety of finishing and’s confidence: he’s a once-in-a-generation talent that will dominate European and international football for the foreseeable future.
“I can’t sit still. It makes me feel uneasy thinking about it,” former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand said at the prospect of defending against Mbappe on a World Cup broadcast. “Right now, you have to say; he is the best. His all-around game is so good, that our bar-shading scale from “worst” metric to best is essentially broken. Working with Pep Guardiola has turned De Bruyne into one of the all-time great midfielders, a player who’s as capable of setting teammates up for success as making his own. His goal tallies are particularly impressive when considering that his average shot distance comes 23.1 yards from goal, a full 7.2 yards further than Mbappé’s rate.
