You are contradicting your own words. You are saying football is a team sports and yet no one can stop Messi when he is inspired? No doubt, Messi is the greatest player ever to play the beautiful game in my opinion as well (some will argue Ronaldo is). But can he score in cold rainy night in Stoke?( , don't take it seriously). On a serious note, Chelsea has stopped Messi every time they play against Barca. Answer me how many times Messi scored against Chelsea? Bottom line is Player can never be greater than a Coach or a Club.
