So how good is Messi?

[MR_Punk]

Yesterday Messi scored his 6th, 7th, and 8th goals in 8 days and is up there as the best player in the world right now. How accurate is Joan Laporta's comments in the after match analysis:

After Messi took his season's tally to 34 goals on Sunday, Barcelona president Joan Laporta hailed his prize asset as: "The best player in the history of football."

The best player in the history of football?

Just to clarify I wasn't saying that I think that Messi is the greatest player ever, it was simply a question put forward after what Laporta said.
