Messi's ultimate XI-Teammates with most outings

Football is a team game and even for a player like Lionel Messi, it is always important to have players who can have good understanding and confidence in fellow teammate..

This brings chemistry between two players or among group of players, who are at ease with each other while attacking or defending on field. Sometime it takes time to form that understanding or chemistry that led a bunch of player, a great team.

It helps, then, if you know everything there is to know about your teammates when you are taking to the pitch with them.

  • The XI is made up of players who made the most appearances alongside Lionel Messi.
  • The appearance numbers are based on the time they spent on the pitch at the same time as Messi, factoring in both club and international level.
  • This isn’t necessarily the eleven players who’ve spent the most time on the pitch with him, just the eleven that would fit into a working team.
