He'll be playing in the Copa America next year and Argentina will be favourites. But yes after that his career is over

Look at you, moaning and crying because Messi got paid big money at Barca. Without Messi Barca wouldn't be the club it is today. And yes it is justified that De Bruyne gets peanuts compared to Messi. Two completely different levels of player. Messi in his mid thirties is still the better player ffs.

Most Liverpool fans actually like Messi because he beat Man Utd in two Champions League finals

You can only have three over 23 year olds in a squad in the olympics. It's a glorified youth tournament, not a major trophy

I don't think it should and it hasn't been counted in the widely reported 43 figure for Messi. Also not sure why people count the youth World Cup and the olympics but Messi and Alves have won both of those once so I guess it evens out.

More trophies than Alves unless you insist on counting the Sao Paulo state league title Alves won a few years ago which has no value at all in this era of football

Why would anyone want to start the best player in the world when you have likes of Dembele and Raphina. This forum is hilarious

Of course, you wouldn't want him proving you wrong again and showing you up again for being the clueless moron that you are

Compare Argentina's team to Brazil 2002, Spain 2010, Germany 2014, France 2018. There's no comparison. These sides had established world class players all over the pitch. Other than Messi the only proven world class player Argentina had was a 35 year old Di Maria. But after they win it the same...

A geriatric on his way to winning another ballon d'or. You clearly aren't as knowledgable about football as you think you are considering you claimed Messi was finished at the top level right before he carried a relatively average Argentina side to World Cup glory

Your picture is bs. Like I said only Chelsea and Man Utd have a higher net spend. Chelsea only because of the ridiculous spending since they got a new owner. Man Utd are a shambles and have had more flopped signings than any big club across Europe over the years. City have outspent every big...

Probably not. But you could make the case because he has has won the biggest prize in club football more than another manager. On the flip side he has underachieved domestically. Guardiola will probably end up with more league title wins than any other manager so if he match that European...

It's not fair to answer that question until Pep retires from management. But if he can match Ancelotti's 4 Champions League wins he'll probably have the best claim. Difficult to compare managers though as some may have a larger trophy haul achieved at huge clubs whilst others like Clough didn't...

Yes pre peak Liverpool. No Allison, no Fabinho. They finished on 75 points that season. Then 97 points in 2019 and 99 in 2020. But ok that was the best Liverpool side of that era. Sure. And sorry but City had better players all over the pitch than Spurs. There's no excuse for getting knocked out...

Since Pep went to City (keep in mind he inherited the best squad in the league) in terms of net spend he's spent over twice as much as Liverpool. Man Utd have spent more but they're one of the worst run clubs in football so comparing them to City is very disingenuous. Same thing with Chelsea...

Where has this tactical nous been over the years in the Champions League with Man City? Real Madrid was on the players but those embarrassing losses in the final to Chelsea and against Lyon were all on him. Considering the amount of money he's spent and the squad he has at City he should have...

So even at age 35 Messi has the best stats in terms of goals plus assists in Europe. This season he has carried a relatively average Argentina side to World Cup glory and will inevitably pick up his 8th ballon d'or. And yet you have Barca fans in this thread crying and panicking over his return...
