There's a subreddit dedicated to stats like this where Messi is so far and away from the competition that he's in the top right of the plot - <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TopRightMessi/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/TopRightMessi/</a>
I'll never get over watching him score a hand of god goal during a la liga match on live tv, can't recall if it was vs Betis or Racing Club. no matter how awesome his stats are, there's still that unexplainable, red-cardable offense.
Irrelevant to the article but 2014 is back in the era when we used to see even more of this:<p><pre><code> it can���t be helped</code></pre>
