Messi underachieved by A LOT in his life compared to what he was truly capable of.
This is something that is hard to process. His absolute peak potential was dampened by improper team systems around him, but I believe ronaldo reached his maximum potential in Madrid
Messi underachieved, THAT is how much he is gifted

Ramanujan was still not into proofs though. His correct football comparison is Ronaldinho who didn't work hard , same as Ramanujan didn't work on mathematical formalism
Correct comparison of Messi will be probably Neumann or Grothendieck

Yes but Ramanujan was not formally trained, as opposed to Messi who has been in the Barca system since 14
I am not insulting Ramanujan, I compared him to Ronaldinho that's why who also didnt work on the small things and was not disciplined in football
Messi compares more to Grothendieck, or better Magnus Carlsen, both with formal training and natural talent
