Historical event in FTBL.com: Lionel Messi, after his second consecutive hat-trick (this time in Barcelona – Zaragoza matchup, which finished in 4-2) got 41.82 points that leaded them to overtake the 300 points plank. Just one player managed to do it before: Cristiano Ronaldo. This way, Messi, owner of the Golden Ball, follows in the Portuguese footsteps.

 

Such events are not casual: FTBL rating again demonstrates that it matches perfectly the actual player’s level. From FTBL we make again a daring forecast: the Argentinean player is going to be appointed the #1 player in the world, at least for this period.

 

However, we must consider two factors that may affect this appointment: from one side, a hypothetic injury and from the other side, the fact that his play is completely different depending on the championship. In the Maradona’s Argentinean selection team, his game is unpredictable, what could be in favor of Wayne Rooney, who plays in the same way in both EPL and World Cup.

 

We cannot forget about Cristiano Ronaldo, altough in Real Madrid’s squad he has found a very hard rival, the Messi’s compatriot Gonzalo Higuain. Moreover, the Portuguese selection team is not doing it in its best, lacking stability and discipline.

 

Now it’s time to see how long is going Lionel Messi to stay above the 300 points. Or he could even go further.
