Messi s first-rate Cup success rate, third in the same period

Messi and Miami International performed more than many people expected in this year's FIFA Club World Cup. Although the team did not suffer a crushing defeat in the group stage, they unexpectedly defeated Porto, the strong rival of the Portuguese Super League in a remarkable game and successfully advanced to the knockout stage. Messi's performance is outstanding, with an average score of nearly 8 points per game. He has made outstanding contributions on both ends of offense and defense. He is not only responsible for key free kicks, but also prevents his opponent's final attack at critical moments.

In this event, Messi won the best of the game, and was selected into the official Best Team of the Week in the Club World Cup twice, as well as the best team in the group stage of other authoritative institutions. His presence makes Miami International's home audience second only to top European giants such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid.

In this 38-year-old legendary player, many statistics are full of highlights. He acted like a young man, showing various football skills and styles, and clearly showing his outstanding strength behind the appearance and data of the game. For example, despite having only one goal, Messi scored, this wonderful free kick helped Miami International achieve the best in club and league history.

Despite his age, Messi still maintains the highest success rate in the Club World Cup. According to statistics from the authoritative media Opta, he succeeded 12 of his 17 extraordinary attempts, with a success rate of more than 70%. Meanwhile, another data agency, Squawka, showed that he ranked third in the same period in terms of direct passes, followed by Chelsea's Kessetdo and Palmer, ranking in the top two with 7 and 6 respectively. Messi shared five straight passes with five players including Benfica's Di Maria, Manchester City's Serki, Bayern's Kimmich and Ulsan HD's Dariyan Bojanic.

Imagine if Messi played for a giant team, with his performance per game of nearly 8 points, frequent selection of the official best team, extraordinary success rate and straight ball pass performance, he would definitely show great competitiveness.
