nothing but credit to him tonight. Buffon was equal to his every shot. at least he was trying to be direct by working the goal keeper whenever possible. no finishes tonight but at least he tried. that i can respect

He should leave just because he need a better complete team around and a competent manager. The team is being rebuilt and our managers aren?t stable. By the time Barca gets going again Messi will be retired

Passing and dribbling were sharp. Work rate was decent, better than we're used to seeing. Positioning bad as usual, shooting bad. If he fixes his positioning and stops wondering around everywhere he wants, he will get better at shooting.

He's gotten in his head this idea that he can do everything and he ends up doing nothing too well.

Ya for his own good and for ours it would've been best if he left. Just terrible what Barto did to this team. The guy should have security around him for the rest of his life. The consequences he had on this team could impact it for a decade.

He played as a 10 and had perfect positioning, thus the combinations and shots. The finishing was really bad. Workrate was best he has done for ages. What are you on about again? What do you expect?

But he should not be playing as a 10. He's the best scorer in the history of Barca and Spanish football. He can't play as if scoring is not his main thing. He needs to score goals, he can't be playing as a "10" who wants to make the play and rest off the ball.

This was an ok game for this "free role" Messi, but if even in a good game for him he lacks any end product, it's bad.

Didn't show any urgency or motivation for that 1 goal. He is not a leader. Should be stripped off the captaincy for the rest of the season.

I'm completely sure of it that once Messi joins City or PSG next season he'll be back to absolutely bossing it again.. This team is not good enough and hasn't been for years now

His hardest these days isn't even enough to score against a 42-year-old Buffon. Needs to go and change the scenery, I'm sure his finishing will improve in other club.
