lol at the logical gymnastics:
1) when messi does well: "one man team" "unstoppable GOAT"
2) when messi fails over and over and over and over as he has for years and years now: "hes alone" "not his fault"
no matter what happens messi is never at fault. wake up and smell the coffee--against tough teams in important matches messi is totally and completely inconsequential
Except that they're both true at most occasions.
And today, it's as clear as day, everyone's performance bar carrasco and araujo were far below his. Getting tackled a shitload of times producing several yellows, even getting the ball back after that interception (good idea anyway, just a bit too slow). Also some dangerous fluid movements and smart passes. Just lacking that final killer opportunity. Awful final passes except for a few late in the 2nd half.
