Dont event think Messi has been injured really and all a bit of an agreed plan by Barca/Argentina to get him rest.

Had some decent breaks in past couple months so should be good to go for end of season and can rest more if needed.

Rest was a smart move. Wouldn't be surprised if they adjusted and slowed down the tempo during training as well. He and Raki have played more hours than any league outfielder. Only a few GK can match their playtime.

Here's the TYC interview from a few months back:

Leo:

I have learned that the season is long, that there are times which are harder than others because the years fly by and now my body pays the price for playing in so many matches,

If anyone had 16 consecutive seasons like current Mo Salah season, they'd end up with 640 goals & 176 assist total.

Messi: 607 Goals & 248 Assists

Ronaldo: 650 Goals & 215 Assists

I think both are going to end up somewhere around the 800 goals mark.

Ronaldo will touch 1000 if he decides to leave Rm and join either any of the MLS sides or Qsg . His finishing is too good for those sunday league defenders

No... He will not get 20 clear cut chances every match from the team

Man Utd have this picture of Messi cleaning his own boots after a friendly against Croatia at Upton Park in 2014 framed in their academy dressing room.It¡¯s done so that their youngsters can learn from the greatest ever footballer¡¯s hard work, humility and simplicity. [times]

Why don't people understand that Messi gets worse by rest?

His body is used to games every 3-4 days and needs it. Same with Suarez.

 

[Kerrybai]

Hope he grabs a goal tonight, even if its just a penalty.

Messi hasn't scored in Italy right ? . Inter 2010 , Milan 2012 , Roma 2016 , Juve 2017

 

[GOAT_SUAREZ]

Messi hasn't scored in Italy right ? . Inter 2010 , Milan 2012 , Roma 2016 , Juve 2017

time to change that. He already scored against Chelsea now let him score in Italy.

 

[RMU ReBorn]

It's a shame that we aren't able to utilise his finishing prowess in his peak . our focal point is suarez and Messi is playing the role of Diego forlan
