uhmm so messi is 3x older than pedro ?

This is somewhat true, but Messi is very football focused and he will always be motivated I feel. I think he can pull off a wonder season again.

Well.. i tough messi could do what he does for like 5 years but.. who knows

Cristiano Ronaldo started playing roughly at the same age than Messi at top level and has kept improving after 24. He is already 26. I thin Messi will not decline at all next season. He might decline a bit earlier than some other players, but before 28 I don't think so.

Also, some players have played a lot and even though have had very long careers (Giggs, Zanetti, Maldini and so many others). If he takes care about himself he can have a normal career span IMO and a normal age decline.

Yeah,but he has been injured 4 times,so if he gets injured on that same spot ,it might be problem for him.
And he runs more than most of the players ,Cristiano has trained his body imo,think he can keep is level untill 30 or so
But messi? 27 max imo,after that hell drop form
