Kind of dangerous for his first full game to be straight against Simeone's thugs.
Yeah I think he was given 2 months... dude even flew to his wishful fortress to recuperate, I think he has been out too long and I'm pretty sure his 95% healthy if he took everything seriously. That 5% that I left out is his game in an actual game, cause I'm pretty sure he'll be rusty.
How do we solve that? Play him already.
I've heard that Simeone is quite a motivator in the locker room, I wonder what kinda of motivator though..
I refuse to believe he orders his players to hurt other's just because their not good enough... Yeah I refuse.

Man, non-barca fans have already forgotten how good Messi is, everybody saying that Ronaldo is better than Messi and has always been is ridiculous, I wish he could play the whole season without injuries and do his best.

When do you guys think Leo's decline will begin?
I kinda look at Basketball players and Football players the same, each drop off significantly once they pass the age of 30, or they switch up their game style to not have to go through the wear and tear they had to go through before, lets make Kobe Bryant an example, dude trained so much and took well care of his body but injuries got the better of him, his 35 right now, honestly I thought he was gonna be one of those players could still play at a high level at this age, unfortunately it looks like he'll have to retire soon, or he can reassure me yet again that his a freak of nature and return and still be the old Kobe, but that's unlikely.
I don't want Messi to be that type of guy, honestly what's scary about Messi is that you can make a case his not even on his absolute prime yet, so that leaves more room for improvement which is more scary. If Leo takes care of his body, I could see him playing until his 40 honestly... looks like we'll still witness 10 more years of Leo, but things will have to go his way, no injuries that make him sit 2 months anymore, if everything does go well, kinda scary what a more mature 30+ Leo could do.. if there's one guy that I could see pull this off, is him.

We can't forget just how incredibly good Messi is. Of course, he will decline just like anyone else, but a declined Messi will still be better than most players in the world. So we can't really discuss his decline like it's a usual thing. If nothing out of the ordinary happens with him, I have no problem believing Messi will still be among the very best at age 33, for example.

Everything hinges on him being healthy and injure-free. I don't think Messi will be playing at this level well into his 30's though. He will slow down, which will be detrimental to him making those runs and dribbles passing several players to score some of those goals, but if we are lucky, we can see him transitioning into a CAM, with his great vision.
