Messi is already a god, WorldCup or not there's nothing else to prove to the world he has done the possible and impossible

Did you ever hear the name "PELE”? A living legend. One of the great players in history. There are a lot of people who still think Pele is still the best player in history. He has won many titles including World Cup. He had extraordinary talent and skill. Yet we now consider Messi or CR7 to be the best in history. Yeah Messi is the G.O.A.T.  But if he can't win more title then our next generation will probably forget Messi and think someone else as the God of Football.

Of course we heard about Pele. Have you heard of Maradona?  Grin
I’ve heard that for the average Argentine, Maradona is a bigger player than Messi because he brought them the 1986 World Cup title.
It’s really hard to compare players from different time periods because a lot has changed in football over history.
Can only titles won be a criterion for choosing the best footballer?
This means that a footballer from a weaker nation could never be the best footballer which would not be fair.
On the other hand, can only footballers who score goals be chosen as the best footballers?
Isn’t that an injustice to defensive players or goalkeepers?
No matter how many more titles he wins, Messi is the best footballer of this time period and beyond that we really don’t need to go.
