10 - Lionel Messi - V6

[Devils]

Not even fit yet, but he still absolutely should have played. With the international break + his injury, it's been awhile since he's been playing consistently. Shouldn't rest him anymore.

1 game, 2 goals, three or more key passess and he is the problem why we recieved four goals. 4 fucking goals!?

 

[serghei]

He scored a pen. and a tap in. He was horrible with his movement and position. If he plays like that in CL quarters he is going to be invisible again no matter the opponent.

Yes but Fanboys like DonAK wont realize that

Leo Messi receives 2017-18 Top Goalscorer and Player of the Year awards

Messi has won a best player or mvp award for a La Liga season every time since 08/09 except for 13/14 and 15/16, so basically 8 times out of 10.

I just hope we can win another CL for him before he goes and we go full Milan. It won't happen under the fraud though.

And played the pass for the penalty and played some other key passes and had some unbelievable dribbles all after only playing 2 games in five weeks

It's not like anyone was afraid that he was gonna lose his talent. He was in bad shape and it was a bad game by his standards.

Regarding the international break, I'm honestly not convinced that there's any discernible correlation between him resting and how much he runs the next game. He's come back from a rest many times looking to be in poorer shape than he was before. Likewise, him working harder than usual in a game has often meant that he was gonna run even more the next game. His workrate comes and goes in phases.

Ronaldo's ballon d'or odds keep falling. I'm sure Messi is pleased

Let's hope they keep on falling.

I am pretty sure that without messi in the future with the current squad quality, we are definitely not fucked like we thought. He has been out for months many times in the past few years and we have dealt with it well most of the times. It feels like when messi plays and turns invisible in the match we struggle than when messi doesn't play altogether.

Seems to be proven true time and time again.

No proof of this whatsoever. Have we ever played a champions league quarter without him. If we had and won then ye might have a point. Whereas unbeaten in the league last year until Messi wasn't playing

 

[FCB1987]

Ronaldo down even further to 5/1 on skybet. Great news for Leo

Man, that is an ugly trophy. He must be receiving the European Golden Boot as well quite soon?
