On May 20, heavy news came out of the stormy soccer world. According to the authoritative scoring system of WhoScored.com, Argentine star Lionel Messi dominated the top five leagues this season, topping the charts with an average score of 8.52, highlighting his unparalleled strength.
However, despite Messi's stellar scoring, the Big 5 campaign has yet to draw to a close. Even so, he is already leading the table with a dazzling 8.52 points, as if the light of victory is already flashing ahead. He is followed by Germany's Levan with 8.02 points, with the rest of the players failing to break the 8-point mark.
It is worth mentioning that WhoScored.com's rating system is unique in that it does not stick to wins and losses, but comprehensively evaluates a player's performance in multiple dimensions, such as goals, assists, passes, crosses, and steals. Nevertheless, the charm of soccer lies in the decision of victory and defeat. Although Messi once again topped the ratings of the five major leagues, his Barcelona went out early in the Champions League, and the competition for the La Liga title lost its suspense early.
In this season, Messi not only won the best scorer in La Liga, but also the top of the rating list. However, as we all know, Barcelona's performance in the European matches fell apart and they were eliminated early. Despite the fact that the La Liga was supposed to be the place where Messi and the team focused on their preparations, they ended up losing back-to-back matches, losing key battles, and even dropping out of the title race in the penultimate round.
