10 - Lionel Messi - v5

[booge]

i absolutely love when he arrows shots in like that--like he did vs. Sevilla and Real and yesterday this season. Those finishes 'look' simple, but the ease with which he hits them only indicates a level of technical mastery few players can even dream of

I really believe the last ten years people have not appreciated the beauty of the goals. How well thought out they are and the finish is so deadly from so far out including the daisy cutting shots.

The ones where he links up with the 1-2's and also the solo efforts. They are a work of art and he must have atleast 250-300 stunning goals lmao where any legend bar R9 has probably around 50 at most.

It's laughable. Only Brazil Ronaldo can even come close in the terms of platinum goal collection.

I love football but watching messi is orgasmic

Every time, every time he pulls a rabit out of his hat, which is like every other match, I have a sorry feeling after a breif period of ecstasy, that a player like him got his trophy and talent wasted and once again cr7 could win the bdor when messi is vastly superior.

People are in the end going to compare the bdor count and his 0 world cups belittle him.

Those people you mention watch football for wrong reasons.

Comparing trophies and world cups are only good ways to compare players if they are of similar talent levels. Messi is so far above everybody else that he doesn't need titles to quantify his skill.

i agree--there is a bias towards 'spectacular' goals--those players hit from far, or those long-shots (around the middle of the pitch) that catch keepers off-guard. those do look great but they depend on: 1. luck (ie poor goalkeeping positioning) and 2. tons of repetition--for every 30 yard banger that goes in, there are probably hundreds and hundreds of scuffed efforts that hit the stands. the types of goals messi scores (with such consistency too) don't 'look' as great but require far more technical ability and vision

Messi will be mesmeric next season, Treble in Coming for Barca.

It doesn't matter how Messi plays if our squad plays like they have this season.

 

[Ripsta]

Messi needs to take more free kicks like the one yesterday. He did the same Vs Atletico(?) earlier in the season, hit the underside of the crossbar. Sheer power, not to dissimilar to that pen Vs Valencia.

Thiago

Neymar is a bad influence on our next legend Thiago Messi! How will he ever come up in the football world and make a name for himself when he is too busy partying with uncle Ney?

Sell Neymar right now!

 

[DonAK]

Lol, he's in disbelief over having discovered a new hand sign

 

[putogusiluz8]

Haha nice Ronnie would be proud.

Will be interesting and crucial to see how Messi does under Ernesto Valverde next season.

I strongly believe that a large part of Messi's resurgence in the second half of the 2014-15 season was due to improvements in diet and training.

Take these two pictures for example:

1. During the first part of the season

2. During the CDR final in May

Notice the sheer differnce in body fat between those two photos? Honestly looks like a different person. It will be key for him to use this rare free summer to improve his diet via his nutritionist's advice, conditioning and to stay fit.

Well what difference does it make anymore nowadays....

There is no way to guess his fitness anymore by looking at his face with that monstrosity of a beard!
