The GOAT... yeh right. I love Messi but if he doesn't show up in the 2nd leg then he's pretty much conceeded defeat to Ronaldo as the modern day great. He cannot go from making a mockery of everyone in La Liga to shying away in Europe. At International level he gets hounded for it, in Europe at Club level he's doing the exact same.
It's fucking unnaceptable. The rest of the team may play shit but that's where your best player steps up and drives the team on. He did it away to Spurs, just running around and getting stuck in encouraged everyone else.
Valverde is an awful manager so he won't even bother trying tot ell Messi just how important this season is not only for the Club, but for him personally too.
