THe following month will be absolutely crucial for the team.CL semis are always really tough,especially when you play against RM or Bayern.People may mock me,but this period may actually affect his legacy to some extent:If we win the treble(and performs well ofc) he will be regarded as GOAT.But,if we fail,and especially if he continues being tired etc,people will be really harsh at him.
+1 Yep
Revisionism will hit him hard.
Our forum won't change their mind about Barca/Real and Messi vs Ronaldo saga, but other media will turn the history in other direction, if Real will win the CL again.
Imagine if Real wins a CL:
-- then we will have:
-- Ronaldo 3 CL titles, Messi 3 CL titles
-- Ronaldo 2 titles in a row, which no one ever achieved
-- he will be hailed as a guy who brought them all success
-- Ronaldo will score more Goals, have 2 CLs in a row, he will win Ballon'D'Or surely in that case again
So, when we sum all of this, then Messi's stubornness to play in 5:0 matches and never getting substituted in the 70th minute when the match is already decided
= is even more "strange" and illogical
Messi, you should rest in some crappy matches and we will need your Goat performances and energy in the last 3 CL matches.
We don't need tired Messi who lost his energy in a 5:0 wins against Alemerias, because he tried to catch Ronaldo's goal tally.
