10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[NotInHere]

Stoitchkov: "I'd like Messi to score two v Eibar and then break Zarra's record v Madrid. Why wouldn't Bernabeu applaud a legend like Messi?"

Because Messi is their nemesis? They applauded Dinho, but I doubt they'd applaude Messi. I hope he breaks it in the Camp Nou, vs Eibar. Best to do it at home.

I never knew why they applauded for dihno, was he that liked around the world lol?

Won't ever happen, but if it somehow did, then the cameramen should zoom into Cristiano's face. That would be a sight to behold.

Ronaldinho brace at Bernaleo. Wonderful performance.

Different time though. The animosity present now between the two clubs would never allow such a thing to happen with Messi.

Not to sound like i'm starting something, but i always think that maybe Neymar can become what Ronaldinho was for us back then but whenever I watch it I never think he can do it, creativity and dribbling wise he's just on another level. This season makes it seem like Neymar is more of a goalscorer type which thankfully is what we need right now anyway.

Why not two hat-tricks

Give this man a kiss.

Messi's father gave an interview today. It's in castellano, but sport should translate and post it soon in their english website. It's a good read, and Jorge again Leo had nothing to do with the fisco issues, it's all on him.

Really? While Messi might have better stats, Ronaldinho was a showman. He had a playstyle that entertained the audiance with his out of this world dribbles.
As much as i love Messi, your mouth were a constant O whenever Ronaldinho got the ball during his peak.

With the hate that exists nowadays no player would be cheered from each club.

 

[Darko]

True, Messi isn't quite the showman, he always goes for the efficient way instead of the spectacular.

 

[SeloBarca]

Spectacular in its own way but not "how the shit did he do that?" kind of spectacular that Ronaldinho did

 

[raki]

Ronaldinho was about tricks and evryone gets amazed with tricks. But those were different times. Nowadays it´s war between barça and madrid. Blame the press and the likes of mourinho and so on. But the biggest factor was barça dominance

For the record Ronaldinho in this current Barca side probably wouldn't be applauded, things have gotten very sour over the past number of years, and Messi hasn't exactly helped the cause.

Will never forget that goal against Chelsea with the outside of the boot from the edge of the area. It wasn't on, there isn't another player in the world that would have gone for it. It's such a shame how his career tailed off so quickly. He could have been one of the greatest of all time.
