in defense of Valverde - Bayern, Man City and Juventus all lost. But - of course - all three have something in common: they don't have Messi playing for them.

Messi FDJ Roberto

has now taken over the La Liga scoring despite missing 5 games, 12 goals vs Benzema's 11

redeeming himself now - good saves after the mistake

MAtS needs to work on his positioning at crosses. The second Mallorca goal was an embarrassment. Do not show to Bayern/Neuer fans!

Messi MAtS Roberto

Check out the documentary "Game Changers" that covers the advantages of a plant based diet. Dembélé should seriously consider making a radical change and stop eating red meat. Messi could teach him how to overcome muscle problems. If he wants to have a successful career as professional football...

hopefully, he has turned a corner with this game. He certainly cannot complain about Messi, should have scored 2 goals but at least scored one - and a nice one.

Messi FDJ Umtiti

I think Real Madrid is playing well. They should have won today. I am concerned that they will beat us on Dec 18. While Griezmann still does not contribute enough to Barca's play, Hazard's integration looks more successful. Zidane is doing a better job than Valverde.

Leganes Umtiti Dembélé Vidal

terrible performance, but Umtiti did well.

Messi showed real passion when he played Brazil, even did borderline mean things like tackling and falling down in the box after minimal contact - something I have rarely seen him do. He really wanted to win and made it happen, despite another top performance by GK Alisson. He was ARG's captain...

ARG continuing to look good, a new young team with a few experienced players showing promise. Beating Brazil is never easy.

Messi overcame his Nemesis - Alisson Becker - who previously has led Liverpool and the Brazil NT to important 2019 titles. Alisson ALMOST succeeded again today but, fortunately, Messi was too quick in his follow-up to his penalty. During a subsequent 1-on-1, Alisson again showed his class. He is...

Messi gave away a freekick goal and now redeemed himself

What is it lately with disallowed Barça goals because our forwards don't retreat enough after an attack and are caught offside when the Barça midfield retrieves the ball. Against Levante it was Griezmann, today it was Messi. Two goals were disallowed because of offside, because of lazyness by...

Piqué could have scored, Sergio Roberto was close (nice pass by Dembélé), and Messi had 3 opportunities, two saved by an excellent GK and one saved by the crossbar. Barça played much better than in Prag. The Prag match was a very lucky win, today's match was an unfortunate draw. While it is...
