Messi and Neymar cannot work.

Neymar kinda having a disaster class at the moment

I've always thought what separated Messi from Maradona (both have their strengths as GOATs obviously) is Maradona's ability to thrive in chaotic situations/play.

Messi is basically the most dominant player there is when there is clear, defined play (like a Pep system for example) and has good to great teammates. But he kinda looks lost otherwise (like with Argentina in the past and now with PSG).

Maradona wasn't as dominant individually with a good to great team...but he was really good when there was no system in place either.

Easier to thrive on chaos when you are high, tbf.

Looks lost

Wouldn't look lost at city because they can keep the ball not just counter. Better off if man city were leading then we might see more of him. Better messi have a brilliant game and draw than psg win

KDB lucky to escape with a yellow there.

 

[Xaviniesta]

these bt sports commentators keep pronouncing "Idrissa Gueye" as "Trezeguet" and it's throwing me off

What's up with Rodri. He's having an awesome game so far.

I like how you have Dembele in a lineup which has Haaland Mbappe and Fati.

That's rubbish for me, otherwise Maradona would have won so much more. He's just judged differently, because most haven't seen him week in week out. Plenty of examples of Messi dominating against the run of play as well, even against top teams (like Liverpool 2018).

Why not? Two footed, can play RM well, and has good link up with Mbappe from France training

 

[serghei]

Neymar was always running the risk of buffooning after a while. Man can't stay focused for too much.

You are not the only one , was wondering who this Trezeguet guy was at first.
