I agree, his explosivness is just gone, his dribbles are still there but dont get through as much as they use to, he Walking alot more. Still he is sharp when he get the time, both with passes and shots.
I dont blame Messi for the poor performance of the team, but he really wasnt good today not by any standards and is a shadow of his old self. Anyone saying something else is turning a blind Eye.
Really bad today, seemed of when you noticed him, shots that goes mile wide , does no succefull dribbles or is totally invisible. Bad performance unfortunatley.
He was really bad today, his defensive work or lack of was horrendous. I dont want to see him play at all next season, the worst player on the pitch today (and than i even take Pedro´s and Alexis performance into account) :angry:
I think you need to be pretty biased to even think that Messi would win this years bdor. Ronaldo scores for fun as Real Madrid passes Bayern with ease as the number 1 club in Europe.
16 goals in the champions cup and a new record will go along way to the bdor. Even though Messi have had a good...
Not a goal in his last 10 games, although he has played very little during that time , not many full 90 minutes for him.
But i expect better than yesterday.
