not agree with this part. As far as i can remember we actually killed them. They was all about luck. 23 shots and 2 goals.

After the penalty miss Chelsea shut Barca out, never looked like scoring. Bums like Cuenca and Tello on the pitch didn't help.

Pep's poor transfer record (post-2008) came home to roost in that tie and domestically that season.

Choking in the CL knock out rounds so far.

Bad touches and decisions. Don’t pass to Griezmann, fucking shoot!

Crowded out and rightfully looking pissed about how little he has to work with because of his shit teammates.

Worst performance ever by Messi standards? Jesus christ unbelievably shit. Walking simulator the whole half.

Well the thing is.. No one else in this team can create shit so they just defend Messi. Too easy for opponent. No other threat or gameplan.

He plays more like a 10 since he has gotten older, but teams that use a 10 just don't win anymore.

Its on the board that has surrounded him with shit. No striker to replace Suarez. Shitty left winger after left winger since Neymar's departure. Still trotting out the same old midfielders. And no RB replacement for Alves that can provide width/creativity on the right when Messi moves inside.

one of his typical walking class performance, yep teammates are shit but not that he's doing something remarkable.

What do you expect lol, he's being surrounded by like 3 players.

I'm not sure if you have ever played football, but when you have that many players on you, there is really not much you can do.

If he had teammates who would actually not be shit , he could play as a 9 waiting in the box for sitters.

He's actually actively undermining his legacy. He's built a history of ties where he sulked as his team went behind.

in the past sure but honestly i'd sulk if i looked up and saw gayboy Griezmann with his pink hairband, Rakishit, old man Busi and don't even get me started on the full backs. imagine going from Suarez, Neymar, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Eto'o, Pedro, Henry to VIDAL being the only option to play on the wing bar a 17 year old kid

its been said many times but he really should of left a few summers ago

Messi can’t do something alone against a wall of Napoli players. Put prime Messi in this team tonight, and the result would be the same. He had to come down to our CBs to receive the ball, FFS. Who out there is going to create a chance for him tonight by the looks of it? Absolutely no one.

No excuses should be made for him. He is hardly pulling his own weight (and he has huge ceiling as we all know) whenever the team are down away in the past few years. Not even doing a minimum. Terrible captain.
