Clearlt took it easy in the second half but who cares? kind of logical after what happened to Valdes. I wouldnt have mind him being subbed in the 70th minute as well in a game like this when its clearly over.

We're playing against espanyol and atletico next 2 games so it was a wise decision to let it low for the rest of the game.

He wore these boots for just this game?

New boots from Adidas for surpassing Paulino Alcantara with his 370th goal last week.

I really hope so, he clearly ddin't play the same after he scored...
Messi once said his body responds better in the recovery process when he plays full matches and I believe him

He walks so much on the pitch that he can easily play every minute of every game without getting burned out. This guy will play top football in his late 30's.

What a match that'll be. One of the biggest of the season.

Messi will have to be on beast mode every game from now till the end of the season (which will probably be the case anyways) for Barca to have the slightest chance of winning "everything" this season. That still wouldn't be enough though (Valdes injury & defensive issues too).
The only issue i have with Messi's game is that he makes no effort what so ever to try to defend. Which means if his team is down to 10 men, they'll actually be defending with only 8 players against 10 from the other team. But luckily for Barca (and Argentina), this situation rarely ever happens.
Other than that, nothing else can be questionned in his game imo.

If he defended like Pedro and Sanchez we wouldn't be able to play him every game. He wouldn't be able to play in 'beast mode' as you have said above. Beside's Messi's positioning is crucial for our counter attacking as pretty much everything goes through him. I wouldn't want him running around defending all game and then finding himself out of position when we go to counter.

Barçapocalypse NOW!
He defended very well against Celta if you ask me...
And he defends a lot more than most of other big name forwards in the world, so I really can't understand he still gets criticized for that...

The captains band really doesnt fit him, litterally, it always keeps falling of.
