Even after winning the World Cup, there are a few more accomplishments Leo Messi could experience to continue establishing himself as the best player ever.
Let us list some of them.
1. Winning the 8th Ballon d'Or
This is actually going to happen as Messi is the clear-cut favourite to win the prize next year.
By winning his 8th accolade, he will distance himself from Cristiano Ronaldo (5) even more.
2. Becoming the most decorated player ever
Messi needs to win 2 more trophies to beat Dani Alves (42) as the player with the most cups in history. The 39-year-old Brazilian plays in Mexico and there is little chance for him to extend the tally.
3. Winning every competition Messi has featured in
Claiming the French Cup would be enough to achieve the feat.
4. Beating Cristiano Ronaldo's goalscoring tally
The Portuguese is widely considered the best goalscorer ever – things could change if Messi managed to reach his tally.
At the moment, Ronaldo has scored 819 career goals, Messi 793. In the Champions League, the difference is even narrower – 141 against 129. Given that Leo is 2 years younger than his eternal rival, the time plays in his favour.
