10 - Lionel Messi - V6

[Ernesto GOATverde Tejedor]

The point is that he needs to kick up a fuss this summer and demand we make some changes even if it means losing some of the friendships and coziness that he and the others currently enjoy.

Why him? Why not others with power in the dressing room like Pique? It seems to me that if Messi isn't doing everything on and off the pitch then he is getting criticism. Has to be the best player every game, 'leader', decide who leaves the club and snake his friends out, bully the board in to spending another 400m. Is anybody else at the club going to do their job instead of expecting Messi to do it for them?

Wonder who will win this year's Ballon d'Or

He's still going to win it with his stellar stats in the league and CL. But this is France CL award so fck that award

Just rewatched that chance in the first half and he really did fuck that up. He’s clean through all he has to do is shoot with his right foot and for some reason he lets the defender come back by stopping and then tries to dribble him.

Then again we probably still would have found a way to lose 5-1, Valverde would have found a way.

It's a terrible play in the first place if you're talking about the pass from Alba that he should have took instead of waiting for Messi

Why him? Idk maybe because hes the captain???? Lol the amount of mental gymnastics a bunch of you go through to defend messi's piss poor performances in champions league away legs is absurd. This is not the first time it has happened. It has become a trend. I've never seen 2 Goat candidates like messi and ronaldo disappear in huge games so often. Ronaldo has just been a tad luckier having his teammates bail him out.

I feel sorry for him. Looked the only one in the team who had a good game, overall. Created several big chances, especially the key passes (to alba, suarez, coutinho..). Played the playmaking role very well, despite the fact of being surrounded by 3, 4 Liverpool players.
No one can doubt his level of motivation, commitment and exceptional quality as a man and player. It was a sad way to end this season, as he deserves better than that. I wish him better luck in the CopaAmerica this summer.

Well how was his play in the last 3 CL finals he has been in, not clutch?

Look at his play in the Bernabeu or Calderon or Copa finals--compared to any other player?

He has done more in finals than anyone else I can think of and the best player in the biggest rivalry in the sport, sure he can't make up for it when 9/11 of the rest of his players are played off the park--see Argentina and these away collapses. Still a team sport.

I don't know if Messi deserves another Golden ball after his epic fuck-ups like this.

 

[gun-powder]

I think no balloon dor for him

 

[tacticvarium]

Although it is not realistic, I hope Xavi wins it since he is retiring from professional football at the end of this season.
Xavi deserved at least one of Messi's five Golden Balls anyways (and Iniesta of course deserved one too).

 

[frostdude1]

Another year wasted from Messi’s prime. I hope the board resigns starting with that fraud Barto.

I think he's still the clear favorite at this point. Not sure who would win it ahead of him

 

[ArtistCatalunya]

There is no one that deserves the BallonD'Or this season more than him, except Jurgen Klopp, lol. I love this coach and wish someday he comes to Barça. All we need is a coach who has a "spirit", a golden spirit like him, one of the few coachs that can transform players, turn an a normal player into a world-class one !

People are DELUDED if they think Messi is winning the ballon dor after this shit show.

He’s guaranteed to flop HARD in the copa America too which is going to Blow any ballon dor hopes. Another epic failure with the national side even though we SUCK as a national team and that has nothing to do with Messi. But Messi will get blamed.

Liverpool are not losing the final from here, Van Dijk will get it.

You just have to look and see the amount of criticism Messi is getting for not turning up in the big occasion again when his team needs him.

He lost the ballon dor tonight.

You seem to revel in the amount of shit he is getting, if not consciously then sub-consciously. Now quick - back to Twitter - you won't want to miss out on the fun.
