Is Lionel Messi the best soccer player in the world right now? Move over Cristiano Ronaldo because I say yes. The young star of Barcelona and Argentina is only 21, but is quickly becoming "the" world soccer star.
No doubt Cristiano Ronaldo is spectacular and he tends to get a little more exposure being in the English Premier League than Lionel Messi does at Barcelona, but expect things to change soon as Champions League goes big this spring and Lionel Messi crashes the stage at World Cup 2010.
The main difference I see between Messi and Ronaldo is that nobody can carve a defense like Messi can. Ronaldo kills 1v1 all day, but get him into a tight situation and he looks to go down and draw a foul. Lionel Messi darts and cuts 3 and 4 defenders regularly. Watch and be in awe as Lionel Messi takes the world stage over the next year.
