They too need to be put in a position to find a way, each to their own strengths. Sure, some of them like Messi are capable of hero-balling their way and getting some goals and assists no matter what, but I dont think that's the definition of a true champion, football is played by 11.
F.e. Pirlo looked washed up in his latter years in Milan, then came to Juve and had something like 15 assists as a regista and played one of the best seasons Ive ever seen a CM play. I dont think he's not a champion because he didnt "find a way" at Milan, do you?
