10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[Daemul]

The first 2 screenshots are from the newspaper Sport (a well known 350% Barcelona Newspaper) and the last one is from MARCA (a well known 500% Real Madrid Newspaper).

Just spend a few minutes on sport.es and you will realize that they write a lot crap about Madrid and always make Barca look awesome.

I was about to say the same, Sport is to Barca what Marca is to Madrid, they are totally biased against everything Madrid.

Adriano: "Messi wants to get better every day, every game, every season. It motivates the others to give their best too."

Vilanova: "Last week Messi rested against Alaves. But he always wants to play, compete, that's when he feels best, certainly in the CL."

I think it's safe to say that we'll see Messi tomorrow.

If he plays, he probably will become again topscorer in the UCL this season. Guess, he'll most likely net another 2.

Official: 6 Barcelona players are rested for tomorrow's game against Benfica : Mascherano, Alba, Xavi, Cesc, Iniesta, Pedro.

 

[Stric]

Xavi, Cesc and Iniesta?

 

[Doobs]

Does that mean we see a Villa + Messi combo?

 

[Stric]

Alexis is injured, Pedro is rested... so that leaves Messi, Villa, Tello and possibly some younger B players like Deloufeu to play in the attack. Cuenca is not ready yet, right? So yeah, I guess Messi + Villa will show up together at some point. Although I wouldn't be surprised if either of them didn't play the whole game.

 

[Doobs]

Yeah I suppose they'll start together and then Villa gets subbed or maybe even comes on at some stage for a kiddo.

I think if Messi scores 2 goals and there are more minutes to play , he'll come off so the whole stadium will give him a standing ovation for the record he broke

Benfica game is the last chance to break 103 year old footballing record, most goals in international games, currently tied with 25 goals with Vivian Woodward in 1909.

Right its 12 goals in 9 games so the total is 25 and he needs one more.
