This guy is simply a subtraction when he's on the field. The tide turned when Munior and Matthiew came on.

He needs to be demoted. Clearly either he lacks so much confidence or he just doesn't have it. Looks absolutely clueless out there.

Munir lost the ball pretty much all the time the ball came to him when he subbed in. Literally. Nothing happened when the ball when to his side. Sandro had his chances. Outside of the chance he created for Suarez, nothing happened. You need to build something for the team to give you the ball...

Happened in the 2nd half of the Bayern game too. It's all due to Munir/Sandro. You can see his frustration clearly.

Being blamed is fine, that goes with being the best player on a team. But to say he didn't play well or played mediocre is laughable.

People think b/c of the Bilbao goal that he can dribble across 6-7 defenders all the time. No, even as good as he is, those things rarely happens. He had 11 dribbles today so he was magnificent, along with some ridiculous Messi-like passes. This is easily his best game since he has returned...

He had 11 dribbles today. The others also need to link up with him. Sandro and Munir are giving nothing. Can't dribble by yourself all day long. Need some linkage to keep the attack going. Messi was great. Barca could have easily had 4-5 goals (1 was wrongly disallowed).

It was, as I'm sure other clubs would once they saw his development. Messi was and is still a hard worker and extremely competitive. You include his god-given talents and he would have worked out anywhere. The stuff he was doing as a kid, he's still doing now.

His dribbling success rate I read is an absurd 80% or something like that. He's simply a dribbling machine this season. Now needs to convert his goal chances.

He's been playing at GOAT level for years and you're still questioning how he goes about things. This is simply ridiculous. He's earned the right to do whatever he wants.

His overall percentage is 79% in his career. How does that compare to the best takers (with high volume)?

Didn't run a lot today; conserved himself. However, you can clearly see his frustration with his chances. Messi isn't happy with his play now. I look for him to train on the team's off day again. But a bad day for Messi: brace and assist, and a ton of chances created. Dude is held to such a...

If Jimenez didn't foul him on that fabolous run, that would have been another score. So much space.

Messi's presence simply takes Barca to another level.

Ok just saw Ronaldo goal highlights vs Espanyol, let's really stop comparing lol.

I don't know why Barca fans still care about what Ronaldo does. He's a great and legend in his own right. But he doesn't compare to Messi.

No that's called chemistry. Like I said, practicing a few training sessions every few months isn't how you build chemistry.

And can I say who's responsible for the condition of the pitch? Messi could have gotten seriously injured today. Ridiculous.

Well I think for them to have that ultimate chemisry with Messi it will require more than a few training sessions every few months. Messi's wavelength is on another level from his ARG teamnates.

Messi usually will be Messi regardless of the defense (as shown by the great run he had at the end). But they marked him pretty well. It was a great game by Bilbao.
