Let's take a look at Puskas' data:
Puskas La Liga stats:
1958-59 La Liga Real Madrid 24 games, 21 goals and 14 assists
1959–60 La Liga Real Madrid 25 goals and 13 assists in 24 games
1960-61 La Liga Real Madrid 28 goals and 14 assists in 28 games
1961-62 La Liga Real Madrid 23 games, 20 goals and 8 assists

1965–66 La Liga Real Madrid 4 goals and 2 assists in 8 games
La Liga total: 156 goals and 84 assists in 180 games
According to the author's statistics, the player who is closest to Puskas in the history of the five major leagues in terms of efficiency in producing goals is Messi.
Messi scored 474 goals and 192 assists in 520 la Liga games, scoring efficiency, assist efficiency and making goals 0.91, 0.37 and 1.18 respectively, while Puskasz's three statistics in La Liga were 0.87, 0.47 and 1.33 respectively.
According to the author's statistics, these are also the two players in the history of the top two players in the history of the five major leagues.
Judging from some match highlights, Puskas's style of play is indeed very similar to Messi's, similar in height (Puskas 1.72 meters, Messi 1.7 meters) and are all left-footed players, at that time, Real Madrid's corners were almost all taken by Puskas, and Puskas's small range of change of direction acceleration, shooting and fatal passing ability are all top-notch, and they are all similar to Messi.
But Puskas's style is not exactly what Messi's. Many times, Puskas will choose to shoot hard outside the box, and the long-range shot outside the box occupies a large share of the goal ratio of Puskas's career, such a conventional way of scoring is not Messi's football DNA, and the enthusiasm for bursting is very similar to Ronaldo. Being able to use this way of scoring as his conventional weapon, Puskas's strong shooting power and the ability to eat the ball on the foot when shooting from distance are the continuous output guarantee of this skill. In terms of long-range shooting ability, Puskas is superior to Messi.
In addition, Puskas's ability to pass is very strong, he is used to suddenly accelerating to change the direction of the ball to pass, which is similar to C Ronaldo, but the ability to carry the ball and may be the most outstanding in the history of football Messi, it is still not comparable.
In the end, Puskas has been at the top of his career, and Messi, in addition to being a shadow striker under Guardiola for several seasons, has become more and more free in his range of activities as he has grown older and likes to go to the midfield to take the ball and organize the attack, which is also a clear difference between the two.

Overall, Puskas is a top three in shooting history, passing and assisting ability are the top centers, take the world players, Suarez like his offensive sense of smell and position, Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shooting choice and long-range shooting quality and he have something in common, and Messi's assist pass vision, choice and footwork are also similar to Puskas.
Finally, let's take a look at Puskas' Champions League-making goal stats:
1956–57 Champions League Humwed 1 goal in 2 games
1958-59 Champions League Real Madrid 2 goals and 0 assists in 5 games
1959-60 Champions League Real Madrid 12 goals and 7 assists in 7 games
1960–61 Champions League Real Madrid 2 games 0 goals 1 assist
1961–62 Champions League Real Madrid scored 7 goals and 3 assists in 9 games
1962-63 Champions League Real Madrid 2 games 0 goals 0 assists
1963-64 Champions League Real Madrid 7 goals and 3 assists in 8 games

1965-66 Champions League Real Madrid 5 goals and 0 assists in 3 games
Champions League total: 36 goals and 16 assists in 41 games
In terms of efficiency, Puskas can still maintain a very efficient top level even when facing the top teams in Europe, with a 1.27 Champions League goal efficiency, and of all the players I have counted, only Haaland is currently higher than him. (Supine Braces/Qiu Yixi)
