10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[pacp_96]

He wasn't at all. He had great movement for the shot he flicked just wide and was well involved in the move.

Twice he got himself in great positions for a tap in if that dozy prick Pedro would have squared it.

Made a good assist for Suarez

Even at the end he was well placed for a tap in but Suarez understandably went for his hat-trick.

He was on the edge of the game in the first half and the play was mainly down the left, but if his team mates were more switched in (particularly Pedro) he could have scored a few more.

Lets not go like CR fanboys and claim that he had a fantastic overall game. He scored a hattrick and got an assist but wasn't overly involved in the play.

Just another day at the office and another hattrick for the little man

Ronaldo like performance today. Nevermind, this one was for you statistic fans.

There is something in it though when Messi and Ronaldo can play poorly and still get a hat trick.

Barely any other players can do that.

He didn't really play well but he wasn't invisible. If he was invisible apart from the goals he wouldn't have consistently took up such good positions (often ignored by Pedro) as well as made a good assist and had other shots. If we'd got the 2nd goal early as well then the rest of the first half would have been a lot more comfortable. Rayo played very well first half once they got into the game.

It was like a good Penaldo performance.

Ignoring the fact he scored a hat-trick it was like a good Penaldo performance.

OK fair enough. Invisible was probably to strong a word but it was a very Penaldo like performance.

Could've score a manita on his own if the likes of Pedro and Suarez had better touches.
Great game ! Hopefully he'll be the pichichi this season.

 

[Lomar1o]

he was absolutely horrible in the first half. he was good in the second half.

Messi is destroying Ronaldo this year!

Any updated Messi vs Cr for the whole season?

 

[dakt]

he was absolutely horrible in the first half. he was good in the second half.

He didn't get many balls in the 1st half.

 

[CatalinR10]

The first penalty was so bad haha.

Why is he still taking the penalties?

A performance Cristiano would be extremely proud of. Be largely anonymous for the most part of the game, yet still score a hattrick. One from the penalty spot and one from a tap-in. CR7 worthy stuff here.

Invisible for the whole game apart from his goals.

Ronaldo like performance today. Nevermind, this one was for you statistic fans.

he was absolutely horrible in the first half.
