Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

[Andresito]

If there is a testimonial I think it's Barca v Argentina with him playing each half with both teams.

This donkey couldn't help seethe and post this

You want that beating from the golf iron today or the baseball bat?

A little from column A and a little from column B

He's far too old to play for Barca or be the main man, look forward not to the past. That's Man United's problem and you don't want it to be Barca's too.

Anyway, he's doing very well chilling in MLS and I watched the 8 minute highlights from last night. The passing and finishing was excellent. Beautiful finish on his right foot too (he has plenty of goals, including chips, one of the hardest skills to execute, with it and passes with it which ought to shut up the people who says he's all left foot but seemingly doesn't).

I mean I have zero interest in the guy as a person as I have said many times. But as a footballer he's the best player I have ever seen (with Maradona). He's just an amazingly special player who's one of the greatest passers, dribblers, playmakers and finishers of all time. There might be a few better passers ever for instance but he does all the core stuff to such an insanely high standard that he's the best, most complete attacker I have ever seen.

It really is ridiculous how good at football he is. It's a farce that that other guy is compared to him, to be frank.

It's ridiculous to say Messi is too old to play for Barca. Check his playmaking level in his last season at PSG, easily above anyone in today football. Since he is in MLS now, he knows that he can play at semi retirement mode and no need to push himself.

But it's best that there should be no reunion.

Never denied he's still an amazing playmaker, but the guy is 37 ffs. How much longer can he go? Even if you got him for one or max two seasons then you have the issue of changing everything again when he stops playing.

Anyway you might be right, I am not saying you're wrong and I am right. I just think you should never go back in life.

Stuff like this will be gold

 

[vegitot]

Since Ballon Dor is near, this is the hardest image ever

Should not forget that he wins 8 Ballon Dor and 8 Fifa the best. So fake man.

How did this match happen? It would be impossible in todays football.

It is just a scenario some discussing here that Messi returns. He would still excel no 10 role in current Barca. He will not press but Flick and entire team will be ok with that.

Though that will never happen. At best there might be a farewell match when Messi retires.

Celebrating 100 years of Barca.
I got that 1999 shirt that same year.

Yeah, hard to imagine it today with Super cups in Arabia and World Club league in US.

Current Barca? There is no better playmaker in the world right now.

 

[KingLeo10]

850 goals and 380 assists in his career

This guy really out there with 1,230 G+A and counting.

Outrageous production.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

If Messi wants to come back, why not.

We can use him as super-sub, his passing and vision is still worldclass, he would easily create 2-3 chances when he comes in 60th minute against tired legs.

 

[Windhook]

He's not returning as active footballer to FC Barcelona. This chapter is closed. There are few factors that contribute to this and it's not just Laporta now. You do the thinking.

Outrageous production.

And the thing is his stats aren't even the most impressive thing about his game for me, It's what he does in general play.

 

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

I still have a dream. That the new stadium they attach a huge statue of this to the roof.



They then have a lever where you can move the statue 90 to 180 degrees down so it is literally looming over the pitch. A world first.

Imagine how much money it would bring as a tourist attraction as it penetrates the Barcelona skyline like a modern day Statue of Liberty.

The players can look up to the skies during difficult games and get the inspiration they need. And even better, when the sun is out, there will literally be a shadow of the GOAT on the pitch.

Legendary.
