Also, I kind of like it that he was a bit selfish and wanted to score. It means he knows his finishing is not good enough and the only way it will improve is by taking shots. Also needs to stop complaining when others take a shot as well.
Great game apart from finishing and few moments of being selfish.
Ernie and Cowherder could never.
He looks human but in a good way. Like, the way he plays doesn't hinge on that extraterrestial ability any more. He has realised he has to work. It's not clicking right now, but if we're going to get a last of his great iterations, this Messi is more promising than walking-but-genius Messi.
I'm fairly sure he ran and walked his usual amount. Probably covered the same distance as he did against madrid. The rest of the team played better and it was a win so people just assume it was different. If morata scored a hat trick and it finished 3 2 people would be complaining about him walking and not caring. If he had scored that chance against madrid and Lenglet hadnt given away a penalty and it finished 2 1 to barca people would be saying what they're saying today back then
