The defense was awful, wasn't his fault.

Very bad, same with Xavi. If you are the conductor in a game you are responsible for the tempo of the game and setting up players for runs. Today they did neither, every single forward action they pass sideways or backwards, that doesn't cut in these game. Either take risks or go to the bench...

There is always space for through balls, just that no one runs for them anymore since they know xavi or iniesta doesn't pass them. Messi is the only one I see going for the thorugh balls, it's really a bad sign, through balls is a way to counter a parking bus, you see it on real games, they have...

What's with all of these pictures, this isn't a gallery. :D

You will probably need to change the picture every year for it to be accurate :D :messi:

Well of course he will have moments of pure brilliance, he is still Messi but the match as a whole from my point of view he did seem kinda off. I understand why but it can't be denied.

Seemed tired, not interested in playing and very lazy not taking runs and giving it his all. Big mistake to let him play considering he missed training and his son was born. It wasn't an important match so I don't get why he played, better to rest and then give it his all.

I hope Tito lets him play maximum amount of games without risking injury and that the whole team helps him score like Real did with Ronaldo the 40 goal season. You can see already see some of that, they rather pass Messi than others who have better position, but they should do it even more now...

They will either play Córdoba or Real Sociedad in the next round, meaning it would be better for him to rest unless they lose the first game or something unexpected happens. But Messi being Messi will probably ask Tito to play and as before will get his wish granted :D.

Wow, if you look at that and compare it with the way he plays today, you see more muscle which give him more stability to hold off defenders and more accuracy. His accuracy today when he passes and shoots is unreal. I am really thankful to live during the Messi era and see everything he achieves...

One more and it's another record :D, no one has gotten three golden shoes.

11 games, if we count out the two cup games against some random team which he probably won't play.

If he really is like that and continues that way, she will probably leave him in the end.

Wow that is pure genius.

He looks so disinterested, doesn't want to take runs or at least try to score more goals. Understandable but still, get dem records dude hehe.

Gogo hattrick!

@barcastuff: Telmo Zarra is youngest player ever (29y 352d) to reach 200 Liga goals #fcblive Messi has 180 goals at 25y 124d [via @champ_ian @messistats] Messi will probably become the Gretsky of football.

Well it doesn't matter if you are loaded, people still steal either for the rush or they have kleptomania or other reasons. Winona Ryder probably had millions in the bank but it didn't stop her from shoplifting stuff. Still word against word but there is probably some truth to it, a cab driver...

I was surprised he didn't get prison time for the assault, kicking someone when they are down usually is punishable. They even had cameras. The fact he only got 10 game suspension is beyond. Animals like him don't belong on the pitch, should've gotten lifetime ban from football.

Since his divorce he has not been his usual self, understandable but still, he did have enough time by now to bounce back. Sometimes he shows his true ability but most of the time it's mistakes, losing marking and poor passing which doesn't cut it in this team. If he doesn't improve soon he...
