Don't worry, I'm sure Messi and his amigos will be happy to take charge. They already are according to some

Should be able to still pass the ball though. Desicion making is also awful

People forget how good rakitic was that season. He worked so hard covering for Messi and helping Dani alves defensively. As it wasn't his natural game, working that hard meant his legs were gone by the end of 15/16 season. It's one of the reasons I've been saying we needed a player in the Kante...

Can't see haaland going to city while pep is still there, not his type of striker and raiola hates pep. If haaland continues improving, I can see him going to juve to replace CR7 after a couple of years

I don't blame anyone for having a go at dembele, he hasn't contributed much during his time here. The reason I want him to stay fit is because we have no pace on the wing. Even if a team in the CL decides to play a high line against us, we won't hurt them with a forward line of...

From the few times I've seen him play, he seems like a poorer version of lenglet. 65m should be getting you one of the best CB's in football

I've tried to explain this. He has been given a free role and exempt from doing any defensive work for a long time now, but we have never looked this bad. Messi has declined, which is to be expected given his age but he is still at a good level. This team is finished. When I say, the current...

I accept that xavi is a rarer type of midfielder than iniesta, but it doesn't make him better than iniesta. They're both the best at different things and they're both just as good as each other. Xavi could do a role at AM, but he would have nowhere near the same impact as iniesta. People...

Modric is a great player and will go down as a legend, xavi and iniesta are a level above though and in the conversation as the best midfielders of all time. Don't agree with people saying xavi is a level above iniesta. If I had to choose one I'd prefer iniesta due to his elegance and style...

I just hope he can stay fit for at least whatever CL games we have. It's so annoying that he always gets injured when we need a player of his profile most. Liverpool 2nd leg last year, he could have been useful. Coutinho-suarez-messi had no pace upfront. Then again valverde probably wouldn't...

Since the restart, this is the worst I've seen Messi ever play, but he is still world class. Imo setien has to take some blame, whatever you say about valverde, he got the best out of Messi in his 2 full seasons in charge. Messi has crap stamina and work rate, that's fine, but he would look so...

I'll be very very surprised if he can stay injury free for a season. He keeps getting muscle injuries. I don't know if it's caused by bad diet, training or even genetics. With a player that relies so heavily on speed, unfortunately it will only be a matter of time before he gets injured again

Even if psg let him leave, how can Barca afford him this summer. Will probably have to do a swap like griezmann & dembele for neymar

That's exactly my point, better in terms of CL/team performances. The 13/14 season our team was so poor, it's why we got Luis Enrique and bought Suarez, rakitic etc the following year. But, on an individual level Messi was still better than CR7, similar case in 16/17 in Luis Enrique's final...

I'm not talking about the young Messi. He was very good physically. Since 2013/14 his speed started declining. Even through his decline in speed, he has been the best individual player in the world, or do you believe the years CR7 won the ballon dor's he was actually better than Messi? The...

He isn't a natural born finisher like aguero, but he gets a lot of chances and misses a lot of sitters. I'm 50/50 on him, he's still young and finishing is something that can be improved. His game is more similar to tevez imo.

Nope. Number 1 reason Messi has been the best, is his technical ability and understanding of the game. He was never going to play as a 10 at Barca as a 17 year old. He had insane acceleration which helped him so much, but it isn't what made him the best. There are players faster than Messi that...

Enjoy Messi with whatever little time he has left guys. I was watching a couple of videos on YouTube and he has been so good for so long. What makes it even more special, is that he has been the best in an era where quality is almost secondary to athleticism and work rate. In this modern era...

He seems to be quite injury prone these days. He also looks to have lost a yard of pace, but is still an excellent goalscorer. Can't see spurs letting him go for anything less than 150m

This team is done. Apart from Ter stegen, FDJ and messi, every other first team position is there for the taking. Compare this to city or LFC, where maybe 1 or 2 positions need strengthening. If real Madrid don't improve, we might be competitive in la Liga, but no chance in CL
