He still refuses to do any defensive work whatsoever. I don't understand. He and Saurez were just standing there, walking the pitch. In contrast to Benzema yesterday, look how he tracked back and even stole the ball a number of times of Mascherano and Busquets to create chances.

Why aren't any Barca coach able to get Messi (and atm Suarez) to do any defensive work? Are they afraid to ask Messi to do something he doesn't like? Then they shouldn't be Barca coaches (or coaches at all for that matter)

Messi has recurring muscle problems throughout his career, he is not the type of physical beast Luis Suarez or the Real Madrid forwards are. You must have read how Barca took care of his physical problems early in his life. If he ran the whole pitch like Jordi Alba does, I believe his career would have come to an end by now, caused by muscle pain and injuries.

So he can only run when he has the ball? lol sure. Surely he can atleast get jogg back in a defensive position instead of just staying put. There's no excuse.

He was terrible yesterday but he isn't a worry at all. Can't blame him also for being terrible. Suarez was way more terrible than him and the team needs urgent fixing or we will see more performances like these from messi.

My worry is that one day he will be fed up.

Neymar asks PSG to get stronger players than they have now, PSG says to him they will give it all for Mbappe, and Fabinho.

Messi gets... Paulinho.

I'll never blame him. He's the best. But hard to give it all when everything is falling around him.

Let's be fair, some of our players (not messi) did the same kind of things when everything was good for us.

That's rivalry for you.

Yes, and i understand that and it's definitily part of the rivalary. Doesn't mean that Ramos won't get a little payback from the GOAT ;)

Mestre confirmed he didn't sign and doesn't know why. Barto LIED back in June when he said that the renewal was done. Shocker.

I hope Lio lets the contract expire before forcing these idiots to resign.

I wouldn't blame Messi if he didn't sign a new contract. The club is a mess.... and it doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon.
