10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[Faceless]

Not really liking what I have been seeing lately from Leo. He needs to step it up a bit. This kind of finishing ain't going to cut it against Milan or Real.

Wouldn't doubt about his finishing for now, but looks like his mentality has made him a little bit off today. It's an average performance in terms of finishing from the big man, but with him the team looks pretty synced. Pretty good. Neyssi Neyssi!

Oh, brave new world.

Really? I mean, it's no big deal with a player being slightly angry at their manager for a few seconds. I'm sure he wasn't just angry at himself. There's a reason why he's usually never subbed off. No big deal though in my opinion.

Overall, a very good performance today. Yes, his finishing was poor but he still scored, assisted 2 and got 6 succesful dribbles. That's not average or poor. That's a good performance.

 

[Ghost]

Are you being serious?

Yes.
He missed like 2-3 tap-in's tonight.

Oh, brave new world.

eh..?

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Which is equivalent to "what you've been seeing lately"? Seems to me that that phrase indicates a trend, a few games, not just 60 minutes where he was below par and still scored and got an assist.

Messi has scored his 323 Barcelona goals in 387* games. Real Madrid topscorer Raul scored his 323 Madridgoals in 741* games. [via catradio]

Damn you goalie, would have been ultimate rubbing against Cronaldo just game after his backheel.

Still can't explain how he hit the crossbar from there .

 

[Sumlit]

That second shot hit the bar and the post. wow.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Wow, what a terrible cross from Dani.

I think Leo played well today. I actually thought he moved around and got involved a lot today more than in previous games this season.

He pressed a bit more, assisted and score and could have scored 5. The last thing he needs to tweak is his finishing.

I think that's why he was frustrated coming off the pitch. The fact that this could have been a game where he assisted 2 and scored 5.

The good thing about that is it will make him want to be better in the next game. Something to beware of for other teams.

Messi on Facebook:

En ningún momento hice algún gesto en el cambio que produjo Martino cuando me saca.
A nadie le gusta salir, pero debemos aceptar porque es lo mejor para el equipo.
Lo que no voy a aceptar es que ciertos medios salgan a decir mentiras sobre cualquier situación que sucede conmigo

I didn't mean to make any gesture when Martino took me off.
Nobody likes to be out, but we must accept it because it is the best for our team.
What I will not accept is that certain media tell lies about any situation that happens around me
