Ronaldo doesn't track back either. He did with Mourinho, but not anymore. And if you seriously think that Rooney did more for Man U than Messi is doing for Barcelona then I doubt you watch many Barcelona game. He is Barcelona's man of the match every single game. People on Barca sites started calling the MOTM award "Man Other Than Messi (MOTM)" because he literally wins it everytime and it's redundant to include him in the voting. He is not just Barca's top scorer he is also Barca's top assister. He has by far the most goals by far the most assists by far the most key passes by far the most dribbles. When a player does all that is it really necessary for him to defend?

Scoring goals with an amazing team is not the same as being 1 of only 2 good players all season performing out of your skin to make sure your clubs wins (they didn't Man U did awful last season). I'd like to see Messi at any other team not in Spain because even you made your point, 'Man Other Than Messi'. Barcelona's football is dull to watch and Messi with it. I'm in no doubt about his skill, he is almighty at his skill but I just don't see him as being the best overall player.

That's what you don't get, last few years and even currently Barcelona really isn't a great team. It looks like a great team because we have Messi to bail us out every single game. Barca right now isn't like Barca in Guardiola's time where we had an insanely good midfield that assisted like crazy. Nowadays Messi does everything. He starts and finishes Barca's attack. 

If you want to watch Messi outside Barcelona then watch him in Argentina. He's breaking all sorts of records there as well.
