Messi will need 4-5 seasons.
As for half of his goals being scored in play-offs, it's indeed fascinating, but considering how far Barca goes in play-offs, it turns out that they play more knockout matches than group matches (6 in the groups, 7 in knockouts). In the recent past, when two group stage matches were played (12 matches, 2x6) and only 5 knockout matches in total (starting from 1/4's, the semis and the final) it was normal that those guys then, like Sheva, Raul, Del Piero, Ruud etc scored more in the groups than in the knockouts.

Indeed true. Knew that. But mainly its fascinating he STEPS UP so consistently. Almost half in a do or die knockout rounds is impressive (consistenly scores, takes the team to final, then Eto'o scores in em, been ze set up), despite the superiority of his team and how often they play in CL. Everyone in that list has like atleast 10 CL seasons, but it didnt matter much to him, in outdoing most of them.
And yeah, think around 4-5 seasons too, even if Barca take a sudden dip in quality and dont go far or such in couple of seasons, I can imagine he will do enough damage in groupstages to quickly rise in the goal chart ranks.

I hope he stays injury free his entire carear and goes on to (as he probably will) become the greatest player of all time.
Even if I think Ronaldo is best right now, the only difference is the coaches of the clubs both play for.
If Ronaldo played for Barca he'd had 50+ goals as well.
Its retarded to wish injury on another player.
