10 - Lionel Messi - V6

People made some sensible points. It's not like he was crucified. Basically it was not to be for him tonight.

Yes. I did.

He's not 100% fit which is why he started on the bench. He was talking with Valverde for a long time before he came on. He wasn't going to exert himself too much and was rusty when he came on.

Yet we have a couple of guys here acting like he's been shit for months now.

Please. Spare me. Some of the guys here overreact all the time. Take a fucking chill pill dudes.

Valverde should not have played him. That's it.

I fear that this is the Messi we’re gonna see when the going gets tough in the CL. Hopefully not but right now my money is on that unfortunately. And we can’t pass every single ball to him no matter what. It’s suicide.

dude he didn't look comfortable because of his injury, he was always going to take it easy. Waste of a sub though. If he does that while being 100% then criticize him then.

Leo did not look fit at all tonight. He just could not use his acceleration at all.


It was the same thing when he came back from his broken arm, he had that one terrible half and picked up from then.

He played quite well/ barca played better with him. That’s it. I suppose somebody cant see it here given the average knowledge of football in this forum

What game were some of ye watching. Messi came on and Madrid were pressed back for a good ten minutes because of him. Some lovely touches and almost played two players in but for a real last ditch block. And put in a few good dribbles as well

Agree. Looked absolutely fine when he came on. Didn't really happen for him but he looked dangerous.

Had a few bad decisions, like he was trying to be too spectacular. Trying to nutmeg opponents instead of passing the ball etc.

Madrid were more affraid of his name than the things he really did on the pitch yesterday. Must be pretty cool to know your opponents shit their pants when you enter the pitch :D :D

There is images of Leo from the game yesterday holding the back of his thigh. Not liking this at all. Wasn't the "hit" vs Valencia on the front?
