maintain a high level of performance throughout the match he is known for his ability to run continuously throughout the game dribbling his opponents with agility and creating good moves for his team on the other hand Messi is also a very talented and dedicated athlete but does not possess the same physical stamina as his opponent he is known for his incredible ability on the pitch but tends to slow down at times during the match which can be attributed in part to the loss of his physical stamina with age according to some statistics from the 2021 season Lionel has an average of 4.8 M run per game while Neymar Jr surpasses his opponent with an average of about 6.2 mil run per game in other words we can say that when it comes to stamina Neymar Jr is the best strength in terms of physical strength both players do not have this ability as their main characteristic Lionel Messi for example has a short and light biotype with a height of 5' 7 in and an average weight of 158 lb which is not so favorable for physical disputes with bigger Defenders however the Argentine makes up for this lack of strength with his ability to dribble and evade Defenders with his speed explosion and quick changes of Direction on the other hand Neymar Jr is also a player known for his agility and skill whose physical strength is not one of his best features he has an even lighter biotype weighing only 5' 8 in tall and weighing around 150 lb Neymar's last of physical strength has made him a player known for falling easily during games which has made him the target of much criticism while he has improved a little in that area in recent years it still hasn't been enough and although the two do not excel in this aspect Messi is a little better shots and goals everyone knows that both football stars have scored many goals in their careers but which one of them has the best finishing and goal scoring skills Neymar Jr for example is a very versatile and skillful player capable of scoring goals from many different positions and angles he is also creative when it comes to finishing often opting for dribbling rather than direct shots to find the best angle for the goal Neymar also has good accuracy and Power in his shots which allows him to take place shots and make good free kicks he can also keep his cool even in pressure situations making him an effective finisher throughout his career he is estimated to have scored some 400 final Messi on the other hand manages to stand out even more in this aspect he is considered one of the greatest goal scorers in the history of football with an extraordinary ability to finish and also manage to score goals in different ways although the Argentine is naturally left footed He can be as good with his right foot as he is with his left which allows him to create goal scoring opportunities from any position or angle when it comes to his shooting technique Messi is known to have incredible Precision in his shots both in terms of Direction and strength which often results in spectacular free kick goals throughout his career Lionel Messi has scored some 8805 goals in 1024 games with an impressive average of almost 0.8 goals per game outperforming his opponent in both absolute numbers and conversion and because Lionel Messi is a more efficient striker in his shots he wins this round assists the two football stars are well known for being skillful players but which of them possesses the best ability to provide good assists Neymar Jr for example possesses exceptional Vision able to identify spaces and find teammates in favorable positions creativity is another of Neymar's outstanding characteristics when it comes to creating assists with his ability to produce unexpected passes and Brilliant moves

incredible vision and exceptional ball control managing to create unique moves that result in goals for his teammates while he is also a remarkable goal scorer he is not selfish when it comes to creating chances for his teammates often opting to pass the ball to a teammate instead of trying to score himself throughout his career the Argentine has recorded some 350 6 assists and is considered the most assisted footballer of all time looking at the conversion rate Messi also beats his opponent with an average of almost 0.35 assists per game surpassing Neymar with a slight advantage and because Messi is the best in the world in this aspect he wins this round Awards both football Idols have won many awards throughout their careers but which of them has been the more Victorious player Neymar Jor for example has won many important awards for the teams he played for won kmo libertadores won Champions League and one FIFA Club World Cup for the Brazilian national team he has won one Olympic gold medal and one FIFA confederations Cup in addition he has also almost won the balandor award finishing third on two of those occasions Lionel Messi on the other hand is considered one of the most awarded players in the history of football having won several titles and individual Awards during his professional career Messi has won seven Balon door Awards making him the player with the most Awards in football history he has also won FIFA's newly created the best award twice and was the top scorer in the Spanish league for several seasons the Argentine has also won many important titles with Barcelona including 10 Spanish League titles four UFA Champions League titles and three FIFA Club World Cups as for the Argentine national team Messi managed to win the long dreamed of World Cup in 2022 which was the last major title missing in his career and despite both being award-winning players Messi has much more important achievements than his opponent market value the two football Mogul are considered the most coveted players in the world but which one is the most valuable and in demand by clubs Neymar Jr for example has had his salary grow exponentially over the years when he was playing in Santos's youth teams for example he used to earn around $2,000 per month a value that has grown a lot reaching almost $4 million per season in Barcelona Neymar's salary grew a lot reaching an average of $15 million a year but it was in Paris s j men that the Brazilian star reached the peak of his financial life receiving about $53 million only in salary and it's no wonder that in 2020 Forbes estimated that he received about $96 million in the year year ranking fourth on the select list of the best paid athletes in the world as for his market value Neymar is considered the player with the biggest transfer of all time with a value of €222 million EUR to play in Paris sgain Lionel Messi on the other hand is not far behind because he has played almost his entire career at Barcelona he has never been sold and has a market value as high as his opponent but when it comes to his salary he stands out even more it is estimated that playing for PSG Messi receives a fixed salary of $45 million but with some performance bonuses that amount can reach $75 million and it's no wonder that according to Forbes Magazine the Argentine was considered in 2022 the highest paid athlete in the world making around $130 million and despite being a huge Fortune Messi could receive an even bigger salary that's because he turned down an offer of $440 million a year to play for a club in Saudi Arabia and because both players have equally impressive records we'll consider this round a draw point for both at the end of this battle we had four points for Neymar Jr against six points for Lionel Messi being him the winner of this battle but if you believe that there are still other arguments to defend one of the two right here below your best justification
