10 - Lionel Messi - v5

[dakt]

Didn't watch the game, how did Messi do today? I am guessing it wasn't a good game for him since there is not a single one comment after the game?

Was far away from impressive.

 

[Pedro]

Poor Game from Leo. New look didn't help.

 

[Total-Football]

Messi was very inconsistent this year. Some legendary stuff and then some forgettable stuff.

Messi was very inconsistent this year. Some legendary stuff and then some forgettable stuff.

Quite the opposite, apart from maybe 5-6 games Messi has been very consistent this year, scoring in about 70 % of the games he played in, without him barça would have been out of the title race a long time ago.
His form and level this season wasn't that far from the last treble campaign only playing on a vastly inferior team now.

not his best game. he was largely invisible and his take-ons largely did not succeed. it's a good thing both suarez and specially neymar stepped up. leo can't do it all every time and im glad he didn't have to strain today.

Barcaforum, humour me.

Which Messi goal made you shake your head in disbelief the most?

I'd pick his chip against Leverkusen in 2012. I remember sitting in a bar and just laughing at how perfect it was. I couldn't even dream of doing something so outrageous on a football pitch.

So many to choose from. His solo effort against Bilbao in the CDR final in 2015. There's even videos on it proving it to be nearly impossible.

So it's mid of May and still no contract news.
I hope they finish this before the end of season so we can concentrate on new signings.

They'll probably announce the new contract right after RM win the CL final, to ease the pain and calm down culers...

well i hope messi stops being a bitch and makes some transfer demands . He has so much leverage ffs

Jürgen Klinsmann on Messi: "There's a chance that he'll get it WC 2018. A player like him needs to seal his legacy by winning the World Cup."

Well if he pulls it off,he will be the GOAT without any doubt

if only... the Argentine FA is a disaster. there is little chance they'll rectify their glaring deficiencies in time for the next world cup. its so frustrating.

 

[Wick]

Messi will still be there in 2022. Book it.

 

[Messi983]

Messi will still be there in 2022. Book it.

Be there? Probably. Be at his best form? Not very likely.

So unless Argentina will suddenly make a great team over the next 4 years that could win WC even without Messi at his best then next year is his last chance to win it.

Inb4 Messi becomes champion in 2022 by jumping up and down the sideline.
