After last years world tour, he seemed to have gained some weight (Uefa Supercup, Supercopa etc. games), this time he looks pretty fit, or is it just his hair cut?

You should delete that comment, otherwise some people will rage even though it was true he was a bit heavy and slower at a period of the season

Fat Messi is like sledgehammer compared to slim hammer. Sure it's slower, but the punch is bigger. He had 4+3 and was involved in every goal of the three cup games and practically gave us the Supercopa.

reckon he will play against PSG?

If only Messi's goals had counted for Barcelona in the Liga last season, they would have finished 2nd #fcblive 68pts, Valencia 63 [via opta] @barcastuff

So Messi's goals were worthless.
Without Cristiano, RM would have finished 2nd with 80 pts -> Cristiano>Messi?

 

[Kixer]

Cristiano>Messi?

Yes, Maria. Cristiano is better.

You read it wrong. "With only Messi's goals, they would have finished 2nd." So other's goals were worthless. FC Barcelona needed only Messi's goals to get the same result they got with all goals.

Part of Barcelona's problem the season gone was the complete Messi Dependencia, everything went through him unlike previous seasons before.

When he was marked out of a game Barcelona didn't look any threat whatsoever, but in all fairness it sucked a little that Villa was out for so long.

I have to take back a little as I calculated this (assists source: transfermarkt.de).

Points without Messi goals:
RMA 100, FCB 68, Valencia 62.
Without Messi goals & assists:
RMA 100, Valencia 66, Malaga 60, FCB 59, Levante 58
Only Messi goals:
RMA 103, FCB 68, Valencia 63
Only Messi goals+assists:
RMA 101, FCB 77, Valencia 61.

Original points were RMA 100, FCB 91, Valencia 61. So, either Messi goals or other goals were worthless But Messi assists were priceless. Numbers above tells how big Messi Dependencia was: 32 points. Let's hope Villa and Pedro find their good form soon.
