Last night once again reinforces why this special talent should be played as a False 9. He provides unparalleled vision and control when he drops into midfield as well as being a lethal finisher.

We should create a new language to talk about his achievements, because we've already used all the words in all current languages defining him.

Yeah, he's so good that watching him play every week is something that will never start feeling stale or normal. Even after watching more games with Messi than I would care to count, seeing him pull off one magic move after another never stops making my hair stand in awe. I keep thinking, as a viewer we have a birds-eye view of the pitch, and yet so many times when he picks out a pass or a through-ball it completely catches me by surprise. With this view I didn't see that there was even a window, yet he keeps finding it. Having this three dimensional vision and awareness of where everyone is while on the ground is incredible, let alone the ability to place the ball like he does. It's almost spooky.
It's a pretty special thing to be able to year after year completely baffle and amaze a fanbase like this, which must be one of the most spoiled in the world with regards to seeing quality and finesse on a weekly basis.
Matches like the one against Celta yesterday just further cements the fact that the Balon d'Or is as good an indicator of who is the best player in the world as who has the most Instagram followers. It has become utterly irrelevant.

No it reinforces that Valverde knows how to use him despite a lot of shit that has been spoken.
There is no reason at all for him to go back to false nine in a 4-3-3.

we need to try 4231 with him as a 10.. but i feel like were already playing that formation because raki is playing closer to the center as a cdm along with busquets, while messi is right in front of them playing that #10 role

I'd like this too. Messi needs to be in the thick of it.

Messi could certainly take it, if he would play all copa games, but he doesn't.

Josep Samitier in 2nd with 70 might be doable..or at least Guillermo Gorostiza in 3rd with 62.
35 goals behind. He's more likely to score another 20 odd over another few seasons.
