Not a pretty picture tbh. Having Suarez, and Neymar to a lesser extent, will save his body from too much abuse.

The GOAT did not score or assist today, but he made two key passes and played wonderfully. Keep it up LEO !

Mathieu confirmed in an interview that there was a conflict between Messi and Enrique.

Please shift the anger to the mathieu thread, I'm voicing my anger there but people are defending him, please back him up.
Also on Messi, let's be realistic Messi has an ego, a pretty big one at that, no where as huge as Ronaldo's but from what I've read from Pep Guardiola's autobiography Messi is the type of player to do these kinds of things when the coach is not on the same footballing level as him. For Messi Guardiola was a footballing sage, who could only teach him wisdom, whereas enrique is a sort of......well not a sage. Messi probably feels like he can learn nothing from enrique, which is probably true.

Nope. That is speaking for Messi. Wild.

Completely disagree. I understand for some people Pep is a God and as such he was "perfect". But reality is far from it. He had arguments with Messi too and fortunately for him he had Tito who could calm things down. I'll be really surprised if Messi and LE sang love songs for each other. The conflict is always going to be there. The question is not avoid the conflict, it is rather what's the impact of the conflict on the player and the team, because the outcome could positive or negative. Based on our team performance and Messi's form it's obvious that the conflict and the resolution of it improved the team performance. Again, the conflict could be destructive or could be an impulse for positive development.

As far as i am aware Pep doesnt have an autobiography.
If you are referring to the Balague book then you are being very selective in what you are referring to as there are many examples in that book where Messi and Peps relationship was strained - usually from Messi's behaviour.
So to suggest Messi never had a cross word with Pep as he was a 'sage' is totally wrong.
