Xavi and Iniesta are incredible, you are correct and that is the reason Spain are the incredible team they are, but you can't attribute that to how great Messi is. Ok maybe he isn't the best ever yet but he is 24 years old. He has 3, potentially 4 World Cups left in him, this kid will go down as the best player to ever play the game.

Ronaldhino was a great player but how long did he play at the very very top for? He went the way of many Brazilian players, made their money and lost their hunger to be the best.
