Lionel Messi arguably has nothing to prove to anybody, but a lot has been made about his lack of success outside of Barcelona. Certain fans argue that while a certain rival has managed to become successful wherever he goes, the 33-year-old Messi has been at Catalonia all his life and even failed to do a good job with an exquisite national side
