Absolutely incredible today.

 

[Science Kid]

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

 

[Messigician]

Will people stop asking him to be benched?

 

[vlad]

This is rakitic when he doesnt need to cover space for messi, absolute world class

 

[biraboyz]

Will people stop asking him to be benched?

he still needs a rest tho, Vidal should play more

 

[te amo barca]

People sleeping on him. Been playing at this level for a year now.

MoTM for me. Covered space and fought for every single ball. Fantastic performance.

I wish Messi wasn't so static off the ball. He's a force to be reckoned with even at his age, but you literally waste a midfielder, usually Rakitic, to covering his space all game long. You can't not play Messi, but at the same time it's very frustrating to watch how exposed he leaves us.

I still think it's due to him being susceptible to injury, not due to lack of will to win....frustrating none the less.

Top game! He was everywhere...

 

[Givenchy]

[Total-Football]

MOTM

 

[ronniecro]

[Joan]

Now we've won all there was to win this week, he can hopefully have his break. MOTM probably.

 

[Obiaseti]

I just hope we don't burn him out. He is key for our campaign.

 

[Nothanks]

well thankfully he'll get a 7 day rest considering the copa is midweek.

 

[Andresito]

Both him and Arthur actually played some harder forward passes.

We need players other than Messi who dare to play those balls.
