10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[te amo barca]

He's superb. Again, this team depends way too much on him. Almost all threats starts from him.

you're new to barca, arent you? It has been like this for 5 years

 

[Icarium]

Don't like to overstate things but we would be a mid table team without him. We buy players after players to reduce the burden on messi and he gets blamed for the new players incompetence. I will not be surprised if someday he decides to call it quits for his barca career.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

Thanks for the birthday present, Messi! Better get the record against APOEL!

 

[FiReFTW]

Interesting Chart

 

[Truthist]

Simply unplayable when he's like this.

 

[Ursegor]

Seems like Tata has woken him up. Tata.

 

[Povikas]

DAT SECOND HALF! oh my days.

DAT SPEED BURST CLOSING DOWN CILLESEN IN THE 90th MINUTE

 

[BarcaGirl]

The most beautiful thing is that he scored all 71 goals for Barça. Only for Barça.

 

[Chong Li]

Simply awesome in the second half

No I'm not.
And these 5 years are the reason why I'm saying this. Messi is not getting any younger and cannot rely on next 5 years of such play. So
club should already start building different approach.

 

[Gohan]

71. Raul got nothing on you Leo.

 

[footyfan]

All players like individual records, including Messi. He was looking up at the clock to see how much time was remaining every other minute.

Messi gives us the ability to be untouchable when we're at our best, and even when we play badly we look like a good team because of him, without him we will probably never be untouchable but we would still be a top team.

 

[doublehh03]

It's just unfortunate his lack of finishing is really making people not see how awesomely great he has been thus far this season. Outside of 2-3 games, he has been mind-blowing.

 

[evilhita666]

He was great in the second half... However, I wish he was more incisive, there were moments when he could have obliterated all their defense but restrained himself...
