FC Barcelona has always produced outstanding footballers, but when it comes to Barcelona's best ever, there is no one other the  Lionel Andrés Messi the greatest footballer the FC Barcelona has ever produced.

He is not only FC Barcelona's greatest ever footballer but also the World's Best Footballer.

Lionel Andrés Messi is an Argentine professional footballer who is largely regarded as the finest player in the world and one of the greatest players of all time. Messi earned a record six Ballon d'Or titles, six European Golden Shoes. He spent his entire professional career with Barcelona, winning a club-record 35 trophies, including 10 La Liga crowns, 7 Copa del Rey titles, and 4 UEFA Champions Leagues.

Messi is a prolific striker and creative playmaker who owns the records for most goals in La Liga (474), a La Liga and European league season (50), most hat-tricks in La Liga (36) and the UEFA Champions League (8), and most assists in La Liga (192). Messi has almost 750 senior career goals for club and country, making him the most prolific goal scorer for a single club.

Messi's extraordinary abilities drew the attention of majorclubs on both sides of the Atlantic. Messi and his family moved to Barcelona when he was 13 years old, and he began playing for FC Barcelona's under-14 team. He scored 21 goals in 14 games for the junior club and quickly advanced through the higher-level teams until he was granted his informal debut with FC Barcelona in a friendly match at the age of 16.

Messi became the youngest official player and goal scorer in the Spanish La Liga in the 2004–05 season, when he was 17 years old. He was granted Spanish citizenship in 2005, an honor that elicited mixed reactions from Barcelona's strongly Catalan followers. The Champions League was won the next year by Messi and Barcelona.

Messi closed off a memorable 2008–09 season by guiding FC Barcelona to their first 'treble' (winning three major European club titles in one season): the squad won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.

Messi won his first Ballon d'Or that year, at the age of 22. Following three great seasons, Messi won four Ballons d'Or in a row, making him the first player to win the trophy four times in a row. He established himself as Barcelona's all-time best scorer during the 2011–12 season, setting La Liga and European records for mostgoals scored in a single season.

During the 2014–15 season, he became La Liga's all-time leading scorer and led Barcelona to an unprecedented second triple, for which he was given his fifth Ballon d'Or in 2015. In 2018, Messi was named Barcelona captain, and in 2019, he earned a record-tying sixth Ballon d'Or.

Messi scored his 644th goal for Barcelona against Real Valladolid in La Liga on December 23, breaking Pelé's record of 643 goals for a single club with Santos. On March 21, he broke Xavi's record by making 768 appearances for the club, in which he also scored a brace in a 6–1 away triumph against Real Sociedad. Messi scored twice in the 2021 Copa del Rey Final as Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 4–0. He eclipsed Gerd Müller's record of 30+ goals in 12 consecutive club seasons with his second goal, setting a new mark of 13.

Messi also passed former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs as the most decorated footballer for a single club with his 35th trophy with Barcelona. In a 1–2 home defeat against Celta Vigo on May 16, Messi scored his 30th league goal of the season, which later turned out to be his final goal and match in a Barcelona shirt.

Messi, the best striker in La Liga, was named the Pichichi Trophy winner for the unprecedented eighth time in his career. It was also his fifth consecutive win in La Liga, surpassing Real Madrid's Alfredo Di Stéfano and Hugo Sánchez, who both won four. and tied with former Marseille striker Jean-Pierre Papin for the most consecutive league top scorer awards in Europe's top five leagues with five.

After his contract expired on July 1, Messi became a free agent, with discussions for a new contract hindered by Barcelona's financialproblems. And he departedBarcelona as the greatest ever.

Well! Well! Well! The most awaited question ever...!

After five fruitful seasons with Sevilla, Dani Alves came to FC Barcelona in the mid-year of 2008. His physical quality earned him the moniker The Tarantula in his local Brazil and he was soon the unquestionable first choice at the appropriate back for the blaugranes. In his eight seasons in a Barça shirt, he showed up, 391 of which came in official competition, for a normal of 49 recreations a season. With his robustness in safeguard, his rampaging keeps running down the flank, and his intense shot from fresh, he was a crucial segment for four distinctive blaugrana mentors: Pep Guardiola, Tito Vilanova, Tata Martino and Luis Enrique. Moreover, his responsibility regarding the group and his outgoing individual identity made him a firm most loved with the Barça fans and one of the stars when it came to commending the group's numerous triumphs.

At the season of his takeoff in the mid-year of 2016, Alves was second on Barça's unequaled appearance list for remote players, behind none other than Leo Messi. Likewise, he is one of the players with the most trophies having won 26 with Barça, five with Sevilla and three with the Brazilian national group. Football fans will always remember his attacks down the correct hand side couple with Messi, wreaking ruin on restricting safeguards.

Cheers!
