10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[impeh]

Not that anyone needs reminding but the Ballon d'Or is awarded tonight, 6pm UK time. Its live on eurosport so there will probably be streams too.

It is astonishing that on the comments sections of articles and other forums; there are actually people who are saying "How come Ronaldo didn't win the Ballon D'or when he scored more goals in 2011 but Messi had more titles and now Messi will win the Ballon D'or when he scored more goals in 2012 but Ronaldo won more titles"

Is it that Mourinho's campaigning has made people forget that Ronaldo and Messi were actually level on 53 goals for the 2010-2011 season? Sure, Ronaldo broke La Liga goalscoring record but Messi won the Champions League and was Champions League top scorer.

If Ronaldo won the Champions League this year, then you could say he deserves the Ballon D'or but he didn't.

In the words of Ray Hudson "He draws defenders like Iron fillings to a magnet"

Somebody should make Ray Hudson dictionary, he has quotes for all situations.

Without the record in his mind anymore he's started to bring his teammates more into play again and it resulted in better overall team play.

Messi has now scored against 14 out of 19 opponents in La Liga this season.

He still has to score against: Valencia, Granada, Sevilla, Celta Vigo and Malaga.

Only into: could pull that off and he didn't fly to Zurich. We're doomed.

It would look like this:

Great gifs!

And some guys still claim that Villa, Alexis, etc. create space for Messi because of some odd moments when they actually do drag few defenders off. Yes, they do work hard, particularly Pedro and Alexis, and they are being sacrificed to an extent, but I don't think they'd swap places with anyone.
I mean, some make it a rocket science just because player A is there and moves. And Messi proves over and over again that he can do his magic whoever partners him up-front.

Messi is simply out of this planet. He starts dangerous plays, assists and scores like no other.

i agree with you but one thing that i know is that even if he creates a chance for alexis he wont score it....and thats the point if messi assists the others must be effective...
