10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[CatalinR10]

Thought he was our best player. Doesn't say much, though, because the whole team was playing awful.

nope

Just so average, his finishing is just off no matter what stat you guys pull out of your ass

 

[DonAndres]

Other than the finishing, he played a good game considering the possible capacity for him to perform was very low due to poor support. 3rd most touches on our team, his passing and play in transition were very good, and when we were actually attacking he had several good moments. Needs to get that killer finishing back up though, can't stress that enough. I'm more than happy with his creative role right now but whatever chances he gets he has to finish in a game like this.

All in all, no way in hell we can fault him for this loss. It isn't anything near the games like vs. Atletico or the CDR final last year where he wasn't even involved. He did what he could, can't ask for more.

 

[Samuel Eto'o]

He was well policed for most of the match.

 

[eye-switcher]

Once again he doesnt show up when he is needed the most, seems more than a trend in big games nowadays.

He can do more, though. It wasn't his worst game, but also not that good.

He showed up against PSG, don't get too ahead of yourself

 

[doublehh03]

Benzema was the only standout offensive player today for both teams. The game was decided by Barca's poor mistakes.

Messi was poor. Ronaldo was a ghost.

 

[La Furia]

Messi thought it was the WC final or something.

He was good but not good enough

 

[Devils]

He was good in the first half.

Second half the entire team gave up.

One to forget for Leo, only can move forward from here.

 

[linetty]

Messi was shit. Worst game of the season so far.

 

[ZenI]

Had 1 or 2 good through balls, other than that a disappointment.

 

[Lomar1o]

Messi was shit. Worst game of the season so far.

he was. but iniesta was far more shit.

 

[eye-switcher]

I hate when he does not perform in big games anymore and his goalscoring touch seem completely gone, he needs a buckeload of chances to score one goal nowadays.
