The set up hasn't been good for him to score for years now probably since Neymar left and Suarez declined, but he always found a way until this year.

The easiest fixture in the group and he still can't score from open play. If it is his last season, will we get enough penalties for him to at least break Pele's Santos record?

He's been unreliable away from home for a while now, but starting him after he'd just played 90 minutes in Bolivia was stupid.

I think he'd score a few at least in Italy though. It's an old man league. Quagriella top scored in it the other year at 36, so Messi would probably knock a few in.

Shouldn't be starting after playing in the Bolivia altitude the other night and then flying back, yet Coutinho starts on the bench. He's just not a goalscorer anymore though. Will he even get double figures this season?

Why start Messi after playing in Bolivia the other night?

Yeah, a stupid comment. At Messi's age Maradona moved back to Argentina after flopping at Sevilla. Pele was getting ready to move to New York Cosmos and had retired from internationals. R9 himself was a busted flush. 18/19 was Messi's last hurrah as a genuinely elite footballer but his team...

They've certainly got revenge for 1986.

It was Maradona that screwed Messi out of a World Cup in 2010 at his peak with his pathetic management and leaving some of their best players at home. In 2014 Messi wasn't properly fit and had his weakest season for Barca but almost led them to glory In 2018 the team was a complete shambles...

Argentina never do well there, the conditions are a joke.

His goalscoring by his standards has been terrible all year, reliant on penalties. He's been a bit unlucky. Had goals harshly disallowed, hit the posts, good saves etc but it's very poor for him. However a lot can be placed in the awful teams he's been playing in. With Barca improving it's...

He can only score penalties now.

They've been done for a while Atleti but they can raise their game for the odd CL game and defend well (Liverpool last season) and benefit from a much weaker La Liga keeping them in the top 4. They don't concede many goals, that's all they have going for them. Now they've got this donkey up front.

USA must be eager to lock him down

Even Torres was in better shape when he went back there and he was finished. Atleti have been on a downward spiral for a couple of seasons now, but Suarez will be Simeone's downfall. The guy is toxic and shit.

Yeah I wanted him to go there. The shit fat bastard.

Getting rid of the old slouches (most of them) was the first step.

I give up. He's cursed.

And that prick at Juve gets penalties every single week.

He might as well just retire.
