Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[malvolio]

1 Ligue 1 goal is on it?s own not looking good, but so many unusually poor touche/passes. Looks like he plays with shoes a couple of sizes too big. Been like that since his first PSG game. Strange.

yeah, sluggish and many mistakes today.

did he ever dribble past an opponent since he's in Paris?

He consistently seems to give more in CL than L1. Average game today though.

He’s had a few nutmegs and things like that but he doesn’t seem able to burst past players anymore.

He's more an assist maker now. He's in post-barca mode now. You have to look at his other attributes rather than scoring.

 

[pregra]

I think he still is injured of some sort. You just don?t loose your feel for the ball like that.

Part of it is that he knows the team can win in L1 basically regardless of what he does. He's been better in CL games quite obviously.

Certainly not his best night. But at least he got the assist. And damn post again.

Didnt see the match but according the comments it seems like he had dropped his level after two better matches lately.

A famous german youtuber who is doing videos about messi, barca and overall football for years is finally meeting Messi: 8:42

Even as he’s been great for Argentina lately, he’s not actually been a very good scorer for them from open play. I think he has like 5 in the last 30 matches from open play and four of those were against Bolivia and the other was the attempted cross vs Uruguay.

He was still scoring a lot for Barcelona during that time though so I think playing in Barcelona and La Liga helper his scoring a lot more as well.

his finishing is his best attribute so he needs to play closer to the goal, the dropping to midfield needs to stop

He's getting better at psg, but at a slow rate.
First 8 matches (granted 3 of them not full minute) only had 3 goals. 3/8 G/C per game.
Now in the last 7 he has 3 goals 4 assists. 1 G/C per game.
So, statistically, he's getting better. But not the Messi level.

Edit: fun fact, Lewa is also not on a good level lately. More or less the same with messi the last 7 games. 5 goals 1 assist.

Meanwhile, Kylian is in a better term than the two, 6 goals 3 assists in last 7.

Looks like you’re getting a pretty big W on this one dawg.

It’s funny to look back now on how Mbappe was described as the third wheel back in august with Neymar and Messi expected to be the bigger stars. Now I think Mbappe will probably have to carry the attack in CL for PSG to achieve anything.
