Messi's xG

xG, which refers to expected goals, is a metric used to see the performance of a player, with each shot having a specific xG. Good shooters usually have a lower xG than their actual goals, but for Messi, it is far too short for him.

He has been able to overperform his xG in every season since 2005/06, including the 2012/13 season, which had a 1 / 1,643,094 chance of happening, or 0.000061%, practically impossible. This shows how incredibly clinical he is, both in and out of the box, and yet another display of his unimaginable quality.

He also surpasses the xG both in and out of the box, with his weak and strong foot as well, proving that he is clinical in almost every category. The same thing happens with open plays, direct free kicks, corners and penalties, there is simply no way to measure him.
