10 - Lionel Messi - V6

[10Rivaldo]

Over 2 legs he scored 2 goals (1 out of absolutely nowhere) and created numerous chances. It's hard to blame Messi at all for the result, but I understand he'll get a brunt of the blame since he's our star player. That's just the way it is.

Having said that, kind of ridiculous how some posters here are concerned that he might not win the Ballon D'or now. Like who the fuck cares? Goddamn fanboys, they're like a disease.

I don't agree; Mascherano was there against Croatia too...
If your coach was so dumb and couldn't do any change when your team is getting outplayed... No leader on the pitch would save that.
How about Casillas for Spain?... Portugal won EURO due to leadership qualities of CR on the side lines?..... France in EURO and WC?... Lorris?...

I am not blaming anything on Messi. You are correct, it’s the coach’s fault. You are preaching to the choir here. I’m simply stating a fact that the likes of puyol, mascherano, even xavi have more of a CAPTAIN personality than Messi. EV is fully at fault here. You don’t need strong captains to win the CL.

Only problem I have with Messi is he is not natural leader. BUT, considering his performances this year, he didnt have to be. He gave us EVERYTHING. Could have had 2-3 more assists in first leg, but also today, he put these retards in 3 chances yet they missed.

Whether you like it or not, this loss does effect his legacy. He will probably still win BDor but CR PR team will be in full force to tarnish legacy. Every superstar player has massive pressure with each big match. It’s always been that way.

I agree that Messi is not the most captain material (I think MATS is the closest) but even if you had Roy Keane, Puyol or any other amazing captains tonight, we still would have lost the game. Having a great plan is more important.

The ronaldo fans are out in force! Messi getting laughed at because of that speech he made last year! Tired of replying to them now, stupid putas

 

[MessiTBE]

Interesting when you watch that speech again.

Messi says “The CL will come back to the nou camp because of the WAY we lost to Roma”

We’ve just gone and lost in even worse fashion than Roma.

Will this make Messi even more motivated now to win the CL next season

 

[blaugrana1987]

I think you could have criticise and laugh at him (of you where real fan) last year, but not this. He scored 2 great goals and put 5 fucking chances on silver plater that these fuckits all wasted. Cant do more then that tbh...

 

[evilhita666]

He can't win every game on his own. He just can't.

I didn't ask him to win the game by himself, especially since he did exactly that in the home match... But you can clearly see the difference in both matches, at home he was running and barking at team mates, today he was just there looking melancholic...

By the way, I'm not shitting on him, because he is all Barca has, is just that sometimes there is something missing within him...

Let's hope Leo lifts the CL next season in the final in Istanbul

the thing is he sould not be the captain of the team, he is the best ever but is not captain material period, we need a puyol type of captain back ASAP

 

[F1_STK]

One guy told me that he stepped onto Matip's leg.
Is that true or is he bluffing?
Don't misunderstand me, I am a real cule!

 

[MessiTBE]

It’s so sickening. This was there on a plate for Messi to win a cl again.

You could not ask for a better scenario, 3-0 up from first leg, final against Ajax or spurs. Final being played in Spain.

And we fucked it. Truly FUCKED IT!!!!!

 

[blaugrana1987]

People are arguing about captains...arm bands..barking...etc. And then problem is fucking retard who fields team that looks scared as deer whenever they are out of CN. Even at home we should have conceded, thats fact. Valverde plays with 3 def MFs, nothing left to say. You cannot play with 3 guys looking to defend rather then link up...

Exactly, not even goddamn FIFA players would field something like that. It's so pathetic that it's not even funny anymore. Cant be blaming the players while being so conservative/defensive with players suited to go on the offensive.
