He looks pretty fit to me. Looks like he is ready to let it rip when we need him. Never really broke a sweat though. Looked like typical Messi out there in these games...which is a good thing for us

He didn't run too much and seemed that he doesn't want to break a sweat but still scored a hatrick and made 3 assists. Typicall Messi if you ask me

Quotes on Messi after 2010 Ballon D'Or win
It's amazing how even then he was the most feared Barcelona player and by the admission of our own players, the undisputed leader of the team.
Oh btw, Cruyff totally called it. What a man.

Any source for this one from Ronaldinho: [On receiving the Ballon d’Or in 2006] “This award says I’m the best player in the world, but I’m not even the best player at Barcelona.” ?
One suspected this once and I couldn't find any source (news in 2006, interview, youtube) for it.
This was last charity match, yes.

By "first touch" here, I mean how well a player handles the ball when he/she receives it from a teammate, it does nothing to do with ability to dribble. It is just a very subjective feeling of mine that Iniesta always seems to be able to handle the ball so well while sometimes when Messi is fed with the ball, he would kick it a few more yards away than where it should be for him to comfortably possess it, which ends up giving away the ball. Again, just my very subjective feeling.
The other thing I noticed lately is that Messi tends to pause a bit before he shoots, perhaps trying to find the best angle or something. I thought that would make his intention more predictable and easier for the defenders and goalkeeper to close up the angles.

Yeah, obviously he is a bigger fan of CRonaldo's. After Messi's atrocious one on one miss, Lalas called him "the second best player in the world".

Did you even watch the videos and see those first touches? They play different positions, ergo usually require different kinds of strengths. Anyways, I agree with you, Iniesta has better control than Messi for midfield duties and to keep possession. But that control would not help him capitalize on situations that Messi faces better than Messi.

It was on ESPN for me.
and yeah...Lalas was obviously in the minority among the commentators so it seemed lol. To say something like that is just so ridiculous

wasn't that the whole point of my first statement? They both scored the same amount of goals in the same number of games . Can you at least provide a link for those statistics you are talking about? Although I feel they are irrelevant, I'd like to know if you have them or you are just full of it.
