While Messi has struggled to leave his mark in the 2018 World Cup with Argentina, he was almost unstoppable with Barcelona in the recently concluded campaign. Messi will turn 32 in the coming weeks but he is showing no signs of slowing down.

The five time Ballon d'Or winner ended the 2018/19 campaign with 51 goals and 22 assists in all competitions. Messi's incredible form in the league saw him winning the European Golden Shoe and Pichichi award with 36 goals. The Argentine wizard also ended as the top scorer of the Champions League with 12 goals.

Messi kept terrorizing opponent's rearguard with relative ease - scoring and creating chances at will. The Blaugrana talisman was leading the Catalan giants on their way to another treble but they ended their season with only the La Liga title after shocking defeats against Liverpool and Valencia in the Champions League and Copa Del Rey respectively.

Despite Barcelona's struggles in cup competitions, Messi was a class apart and he showed that he is miles ahead of any of his rivals. It remains to be seen whether he can put a similar show with his National team this time around in the Copa America.
