10 - Lionel Messi - v4

[EdmondDantes]

He's a born winner. What a career!

xavi , surely messi will overcome iniesta in future and i'll have same feel as now as for iniesta that time...

Yes, but Xavi will still return to coach Barca to 2 more Sextuples, and then he will overcome them again.

He even played on painkillers, but still played his best game this season.

I think there is a mistake:We didn't win the 2012 super cup

we won the supercup at the start of the 2011-12 season, lost the 2013-13 one and then again won in 2013-14 so it should be 2014 in stead of 2013

Leo ,Apologizing to River plate fans after his goal ??

Looked very motivated vs. River. So great to see old Messi back!

People complain (understandably) about his walking, but he never does that in big games- he always runs and presses when something bigger is on the line.

Not true Bernie. He has games in which he does not give as much effort. That can happen in important games as well. I'd say a CL quarterfinal 2nd leg is pretty important don't you think?

It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen.

The tie was already over and he still played well. Don't know what you're on about. I guess it can't be the home game against PSG last season you mean then?

Which QF 2nd leg? Atletico?

That was the season he was out of shape, out of form, with team issues....

 

[FC B]

I loved his determination today and it ironically he seemd to me much more back to his usual form than the previous few games he played.

 

[BarcaOG]

Not fully himself yet (and still easily better 99% of footballers). Finishing needs some work. Still, happy to see him play. Waiting until GOAT mode come the CL knockout rounds.

i recall a few big games where he lookd lethargic and disinterested. season 2013-14
both CL QF games vs atletico, CDR final vs real madrid

Sometimes he shoots like a baby. very weak shots. so uncharacteristic

Pathetic examples. Anything from the Tata season can't be taken seriously. Whole team played like shit, and you had Tata saying that he didn't want to get Messi involved too much in our games.

he said messi never played/s with no motivation in big games, and that was me saying that it has happened.
unless you want to tell me that messi was motivated in those games.

No player can play with 100% Motivation every fucking day ,especially a player with career span of 10 year's would have certain day's were they look's dis interested .They don't do it deliberately. Some times it might be some off field issue's, Mentally down or any such reason.. !! it makes me laugh when people are trying hard to prove that Messi's success is only due to pure talent. not hard work.
