Lionel Messi's departure from Barcelona was always going to be a watershed moment in football. 

Messi was a Catalan institution after rising through the ranks of the famed La Masia, earning a berth in the first squad, and breaking every goalscoring record the club had to offer. 

So it was no surprise to see the tremendous backlash from all quarters on the day he announced his departure from the club. 

In truth, only two or three teams could afford to sign Messi, with PSG being the first to jump at the chance to give the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner a new home.

 

With Kylian Mabppe and Neymar already signed, the addition of Messi appeared to be comparable to lighting a match in a barrel of explosives. 

On paper, it looked like the most frightening offensive trio ever put together, but it didn't quite work out.

 

Of course, there have been moments of brilliance – Messi's league-winning thunderbolt is just one example – but it hasn't been the constant barrage of attacking ferocity that we all expected. 

Messi has been chastised for some of his recent performances, but has he been playing badly? No, not at all, is the simple response. 

According to Twitter statistician Statsman Dave, Messi has been one of the best players in Ligue 1, which made us wonder how he compares to the other superstars now plying their trade in Europe. 

According to WhoScored, Messi is statistically the third best player in Europe this season, surpassing even Mohamed Salah, who is having the best season of his life at Liverpool.
