His importance to Barcelona can't be overstated, let's talk about Messi the Argentine for once; Highest goalscorer, best playmaker, won the best player of the tournament in e-v-e-r-y tournament he played in, U-20 world cup, Olympics, Copa America and the World Cup, 12 time Argentine player of the year, the closest to him is Diego Maradona, on 4... The only reason we tag his international career as an unmitigated disaster is because of the high levels of expectations we have for him, and he has been unlucky, not for lack of trying. Pele has said he is better than Messi, Maradona has said it and Ronaldo has said it, why? Because Messi is the standard of measurement for the greatest player of all time!

Even 2 CR7s wouldn't be enough to replace Messi. The goal-scoring department could be replaced,but what abt the playmaking,the vision,the assisting? To replace Messi ,u need a CR7 ,a Pirlo,a Ronaldinho,an Ozil,...in short only Pele or Maradona could replace Messi...to some extent.
