10 - Lionel Messi - v5

[MessiCam]

He will start vs Sundowns next week. Lol.

 

[Barca83]

gotta stay fresh for that friendly midweek

 

[Laplacian]

Messi out? No worries, time for to carry the team.

 

[eaman]

So Messi plays at home to leganes before a big champions league game and is rested for a tougher game with nothing important midweek. Great planning there

The last test to complete an unbeaten season, given we're at home next week and he's left out.

We basically sacrificed CL for this unbeaten record.

Golden Shoe is the last trophy to win. If Salah doesn't score like crazy today the fifth is Leo's.

 

[FC B]

Salah is only 3 goals back, he could easily equal Messi today playing home vs. a a some 14th table side.

Didn't get why Messi was left out of the squad.

He can turn it on for a game or two but at a World Cup there's always a game 3 days later and he ends up knackered after a long season with no rest.

You'll see him pace himself through the tournament. Ideally he could do a Ronaldo and just goal hang but like with Barca he has to create as well as score their goals.

lol they could do with resting him for the first two games and play him in the third only if they need the win.

Imagine him turning him only for the knock out stages. I think the chances of him winning the WC would increase.

He has enough golden boots or whatever. He needs to rest for WC. It's much more important.

Because 1) minimizing chances of getting injured, 2) friendly in which he will have to play (sponsor obligations), 3) still one home game left if Salah scores a hattrick.

That's why it's very easy to comprehend why he's left out.

it doesn't take GB away from him . Suarez and Ronaldo shared it in 2014

Nop he should be having a firm lead over penaldo It will be 5-4 after this season .

Golden boot confirmed, congratulations

That is way too big a chance to take. Remember they are a poor team without messi. Anyway the fixture list for Argentina's group games is good. Five days between each game which is the perfect amount of resting time between games

 

[Ripsta]

There's two fucking games left of the fucking season, to remain un-fucking-beaten, so why the FUCK isn't Messi in the squad or on the bench at least?

Fuck off Valverde. Stupid cunt. Plays him when there are important games to come then rests him for a fucking mid-week friendly.

I mean, fuck.

God help him if Levante put up a fight.
