Zlatan has for the most part done jack shit for his NT. He has however been amazing in several league campaigns, but still not as good as Messi. The latter scores a lot more goals, and he most definitely creates a lot more goals. Now I know you're going to bring up La Liga's poor defenses, but lets not forget Messi is a year or two away from being the all time top scorer in the CL as well. So obviously he's not only scoring goals against lowly Liga defenses, but he's tearing it all apart in Europe as well. In the same European stage, the CL, Zlatan has scored about half the goals Messi has, which again comes to show the gulf in quality between the two.
Messi is better than Zlatan in everything perhaps other than strength and physique. The two are not comparable at all, I would not consider Zlatan as one of the top three players in the world in the past few years. I'd personally put the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, C.Ronaldo and Messi all above him.
