Why does Messi needs to win a major tournament in order to be compared to Pele and Maradona?

That clutch gene of Messi:

2007 Copa America

07/15/2007 Argentina 0x3 Brazil . Messi: goals: 0 Assists: 0

2014 World Cup

07/13/2014 Argentina 0 x 1 Germany Messi goals: 0 Assists: 0

2015 Copa America

7/4/2015 Chile 0 (4) x 0 (1) Argentina Messi goals: 0 Assists: 0

2016 Copa America Centenário

06/26/2016 – Chile 0 (4) x 0 (2) Argentina Messi goals: 0 Assists: 0

How did they get to finals? They just teleported themselves there? The other games don't matter?

Argentina is not Messi, it takes more than one player to make a team.

You cant be the GOAT and wet the bed every time it matters most. You need to be a closer. Messi is simply not. That's what keeps him from the top of that list - he wets the bed when it's time to deliver the trophy.
