Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[serghei]

Messi isn't doing much different than his recent days at Barca. He's been great on the ball and very poor of it. This means he was great 5% of the time, and bad in the other 95% since City have the ball way more than they don't. It's mathematics at this point.

needs to drop deeper

PSG without verati can't string two passes together. Still, Mbapee should have put the m in front there.

Yea, but he does pose one big flaw for City too. He doesn't press. So... not worth the hassle right now at this age.

he would still be at barca if it were up to him

1 day walker with Messi at Barca.

3 day walkers with Messi at PSG.

This. So true.

PSG great inviduals but City better team.

 

[serghei]

But for current injury-ridden Barca, he is missed for sure this season. So if he'd accept coming back for just 1 more season for a normal salary (not his crazy demands, I'm talking something like a 7-8m net max) and a proper send-off, I'd do it.

 

[JohnN]

Don't care how much he presses playing for PSG against city ( like it would make a difference apart from draining stamina without a systemized press) as long as he still nutmegs their players every time they meet.
Keep em nutmegs coming.

Tru

I overestimated him. He is probably finished vs big teams. He should have just dropped his ego a bit, taken a big paycut, and statpadded vs the Eibars for a few more years.

probs what he wanted to do tbh but Laporta was too stupid to act early

What is Rodri doing, completely turned it around this season, almost unrecognizable, better in every way.
