Yeah
and it is not the only great performance this year (certainly among the best).
not bad for a player that looks "suddenly 10 years olde"r

He has improved compared to the beginning of the season. Still bad finishing when you look at all his chances.
But Messi is on the right way.

Would be beautiful to get some luck with staying fit for a change, make about 2 good signings in the summer and maybe push for the title next season to give Messi some good last seasons.
I see positive signs. Running to press, closing down players after losing the ball. He seems to be improving his motivation and desire to work harder on the field.
He'll always have some off games at this age, but as long as he is involved and motivated, he'll be fine for about 2 more years, until 36 or so. Pedri is great for his game. A player of fresh legs, ambition, and uniquely high football IQ right in his areas of action.

What are you on about?! 30-35 a season is prime striker level numbers.

Messi gets compared to Messi standards. Stop foaming at the mouth and seeing negative in everything.
I specifically said it's not a bad return for someone who's about to be 34 and has already scored 700+ goals

Messi standards in terms of quality and also Messi standards in terms of how the game is always focused on him, a sort of special role that doesn't happen at any other team.
You simply need him to perform constantly for this to have any hope of working for his last years. Like today, like vs Valladolid.

They are praising him for good performances, as it's normal.
Except BBZ.
He's building an essay to spin this...JamDav1982

BBZ claimed Braithwaite was Barcas best attacking player and Messi is Barcas worst.
Doesnt get better than that.

BBZ was really cartwheeling that GOAT to WOAT mantra.
I mean, everyone with a pair of eyes can see Messi's declined but BBZ was out here spinning that yarn like Messi was Douglas.

It's his best bet atm. Extending the contract, and going hard for 2 years, then go to US or whatever. Any big title in these years would be sweet to end it on a high. And will participate to rebuild the side which is also a thing he's never really done at Barca.
There was plenty of motivation to be drawn from our current situation all along, but he was just acting a spoiled child who got his toys taken away from him. Now he's coming around.
