Goat bodied the tractor

Lionel Messi has revealed the only time he tried to 'humiliate' an opponent during his career on the football pitch, which came in Argentina's match against Poland at the 2022 World Cup. The Barcelona legend admitted that he wanted to embarrass Robert Lewandowski during the game.

The reason for Messi's fury was because of comments made by his opponent in the build-up to the 2021 Ballon d'Or ceremony, where Messi triumphed to win the honour for the seventh time in his career. Many, however, thought that Lewandowski should have picked up the prize, after he scored a record-breaking 41 goals in the Bundesliga in just 29 matches. And the comments the striker made after the ceremony ensured that there was tension when the two met at the World Cup.

Messi, recognising Lewandowski's achievements at the Ballon d'Or ceremony, mentioned the Polish striker in his acceptance speech in 2021: "I'd like to mention Robert [Lewandowski], it's been a real honour to compete with him." But that did not go down well with the then Bayern Munich man.

Lewandowski would subsequently label Messi's comments as "empty words." And that infuriated the Argentine, who said he wanted to humiliate his opponent the next time they met.

"Lewandowski's statement in 2021 bothered me because when I won the Ballon d'Or, I said what I really felt," Messi told ESPN. "I ignored him during the game because it was him, and I was angry and thought he shouldn't have said what he said. I was very angry. Was I deliberately dribbling because it was him? Yes."

I smell a goal against Real, he loves to beat them since 2013 🔥

Kingsley Coman on difference between Lewandowski and Kane: "Lewandowski asks for way more crosses, basically you have to play for him. Kane makes wingers better, creates, finishes, and he's the easiest striker to play with"

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Can understand that wingers would rather want to play with Harry than Lewy because he involves them more with his phenomenal passes

But i still think peak Lewy was more benefical for Bayern than Harry as his link-up was great and his off-ball movement was better than from Harry

Kane wasted so many years at Spurs, should have gone to a top club in his prime years

Lewy famously punched Coman in training once. He's obviously not fond of him.


And yeah, Harry Kane is extremely underrated and one of the best strikers of this era. I have him right after RL9 and Suarez. I think he's that good.

Of course, he is the GOAT striker in the Bundesliga.
Now we're talking of someone who might as well retire. Only dumb fools can hate him for how he - SOMETIMES- plays at 36.
They're beating on the dead horse...because they're are pissed off the horse is dead.
How dumb is that?

 

[Temptation]

I'm a big RL9 fan but I have never denied that he's a self centred prick at times.


Definitely not the most likeable or friendly teammate to have.


Kane is one of the nicest guys in Football. He's very humble and likeable.

Him and did not mind to 'wrestle" with Boateng either. He stands his ground.. My kind of man.
Messi wanted to embarrass him,...but in what department?
Dribbles...big deal...a little squirrel will outrun a lion all day long. Should the lion be embarrassed, cause can't catch a squirrel that run up on a tree? I don't think so.

 

[Temptation]

RL9 would destroy Coman in a fight.

Actually Messi didn't even manage to dribble past him. Lewy won the ball with a soft shoulder push but the corrupt referees gave Messi a free kick because he stopped running and started whining like the lil bitch he is.

Messi embarrassed himself from what I can see there...
RL9 is my kind of man...stands his ground.

Incredible statement

Lewy knows that Messi and Argentina gave them a dance and took the pedal off

Ah yeah forgot that

Think main reason was that Kingsley was often egoistic in his play and shot in tight spaces instead of passing in the middle, at least i noticed that often when i watched Bayern games a few years ago

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

And yeah kane was sensational in this era but will probably never get the right reputation because he played mostly for Spurs

His game against City ( 3-2 win) will be never forget by spurs fans 🔥
