How would you measure that?

And for the comment above, Messi had most assists and goals when Iniesta and Xavi were at their best. I love Xavi and Iniesta but Messi transcends their magical abilities with more than just passes.

I just put his personal achievements over Messi's 

 

And it's not what I think but I remember many people saying Messi couldn't shine without those two, especially when they won World cup and euro and Messi was questioned by the media because of how he played for Argentina. 

Spain didn't win just because of those 2; they had Villa, Silva, Torres, Capdevilla, Casillas, etc... a golden generation to power through tournaments. But they never had the magic that Messi gave to Barcelona. Also, Argentina never had a "team" to play for Messi and for him to make plays for.
