Awww who remembers this match from Leo ? Before the match people said he lost the motivation, he lost the hunger. They said we will never see the old Messi again. Then one day later he outclassed City and made Kompany his bitch. Best match of the season. :worthy:

Overall play was very good at times, he didn't dribble too much (and loose the ball) but chose his moments. Played like a (old) body like his should. Sad to see his finishing though, absolutely no confidence. He did a great tackle close to the end and could head towards goal, but instead he just stopped and got caught.

How the hell do you go from 50 goals in a year to sub-30 goals to not even being able to score from open play...? How can you decline that fast?

Yeah, the finishing part is very, very strange. Today he had 3-4 chances that he should score at least a couple from.
 
He is doubting obviously. Even last year some of the actions tonight were finish in a snap of fingers.
But he's not staying up front the attack enough. Too much a midfielder again tonight. He lacks practice and occasions.
He's less focus, maybe too many problems off the pitch.
