Hope they sub on Messi for the 2nd half

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

They aren't

His name is pronounced like this

Edreesa GanaGay

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).

Not what I meant.

I mean put Messi in a brand new team and put Maradona in the same brand new team and see how they play that first game.

Messi is a bit like Pep IMO

Training

Well not like he's shared the pitch with him much lol but I assume training has gone well

How crap from Mahrez there, getting dispossessed by Neymar .

 

[Messigician]

Too many Messi haters on this thread.

Me and Rassvet not happy with you lot

 

[Laplacian]

The old city used to be so good at playing through the center. Is it because they no longer have Aguero and true wingers on both sides?

 

[serghei]

Messi is terrible so far to be fair. Mbappe is by far the best whenever I see PSG. And Verratti. True, great midfielder and massive underachiever career-wise compared with his talent and quality.

He could've been the best midfielder in the world and ruled the post-Xaviesta era.

 

[KingLeo10]

I actually don't blame Mbappe for wanting to leave that prison. Neymar and Messi are absolutely ass at forward play in 2021 (and by their own design)

 

[akaranzo]

Idk what has happened with Neymar, he genuinely looks awful. Messi is still settling in, but yeah so far been below his standards.

 

[Xaviniesta]

who is having a worse game, messi or neymar?

 

[Messigician]

Why aren't they all passing to Messi tf?

 

[Jadentheman]

I like Neymar alot but he ruined his career going to PSG fk me

I know. Wow. I miss 16-17 Neymar. It wasn’t the best Neymar but he still got it done

I guess it's much harder in modern football to do that. Teams are better drilled and less individualistic.

But there's literally no data set to support your claim. Or disprove it.

Even in first season with PSG he was electric until the injuries and lack of competition ruined him
