The awkward moment in Spanish class when my teacher has to explain to the new student why

Messi = Dios.

 

[Alissa]

It feels like a Messi day, doesn't it? They have managed to make him really angry this time and he'll teach them a lesson. Once again.

Messi plays in Nou Camp, Messi scores!

Our record in official matches at Camp Nou in which Messi has scored: Played 75, Won 70, Drawn 5

Unbelievable, so we've never lost if he has scored at the Nou Camp???

I found it interesting that during the Malaga telecast, Schoen mentioned that the last time Leo was subbed out of a match prior to the last few minutes of a match (For applause) was in '09 when he was subbed around the 75th min

I think about footballers in the last decade or so and it's hard to fathom how much the kid plays...Still say he needs to sit more than he does, every human being eventually wears out...And as much as Leo is the Messiah, I think his career would last longer if he were put under wraps more too

I know right? Barca does a good job of exploiting Messi to the fullest! Is it because of this that his performances at International level are sub-par?

Messi, bring us happiness tonight !

 

[Alexis_9]

would love nothing more than a hatrick from the little man tonight, ronaldo to flop and jose to get the sack
A man can dream

 

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

dang it!!! I lost quite a bit of money on Messi scoring tonight.

at least we are through though.

 

[BarcaGirl]

His best actions tonight

1. The assist for Pedro's goal.
2. The foul on Pepe!

Other than that, very average performance by his standards.

There was a time where he should have shot instead of passing to Piqué... But without being amazing he was our best player...

 

[BarcaGirl]

For the first time since his debut, Messi has failed to score in 3 consecutive clásicos. #fcblive [via @optajose]

 

[Deco 20]

Decent enough today (IE he had a good game), fouled constantly

 

[gingerless]

team didn't deserve the goal he created today, they didn't do fuck all with the advantage he gave us
