10 - Lionel Messi - V6

[Obiaseti]

Only caught him in the second half but he was flawless. Great work rate too. Unlucky not to end up with 4. In fairness Spurs kind of played into his hands tbh.

 

[te amo barca]

Amazing perfomance from Messi. He ran so much today.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Nice game from the 5th best player in the world.

According to Griezmann.

 

[soul24rage]

this is why he must rest (or even a half) before a CL knockout game. even if he plays 5km, it still takes a toll on him. We need Messi at 100% in every CL game to have a chance.

 

[KingLeo10]

His stemina can’t sustain this kind of 10km per game.

Great game bybhim today, 120% effort.

I'd rather he save it all for CL away games.

we only need 3 of these games from him from feb - may to see us to the final. and after that, we usually don't lose finals....

 

[Givenchy]

cant ask any more from him today, he was running around like a madman fighting for everything. he wasn't kidding when he made that CL speech at the start of the season

Great game bybhim today, 120% effort.

So my question turns into, I wonder why he doesn't rest before big games more often.

 

[malvolio]

he was a man on a mission tonight. absolutely savage!

i'm starting to think he likes valverde or something, with the way he tries to bail us out.

Exactly. He killed Tottenham today.

Messi vs. 11

 

[CatalinR10]

kings gonna king.

deserved at least a hatrick today tho.

 

[KingLeo10]

IMO he isn't obsessed about his legacy as someone of his talent should arguably be. even in the WC we only saw a fired up messi in the nigeria and france games.

 

[Raki13]

Reinforced why he is on another level from every other player tonight.

 

[ini4ever]

Pressed so hard, gave all he could basically, he's really different when he's rested before a CL game. Hope himself and EV realize that and get more rest before CL matches espcially k.o ones.

What a masterclass from the best player in the world.

My brother asked me on Monday who I think is the best player right now:

Me: Messi! I beliieve he is still playing and has not retired.
Brother: I mean, who's in best form at the moment
Me: Messi
Brother: Messi is not in his best form
Me: Yes, but he's still the best player on the football fields.
MeSSi (tonight): Yes, I am GOAT.
