Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[Richard.H]

Good game, apart from the bad penalty.
Set up 2 or 3 1v1.
Mbapee goal was amazing. The man looks like a speed demon.

I know you're a huge Messi stan, but what match were you watching? In the second half he was below average.

He is really shitty these days.

Guess that's what aging does to you

Hot and cold game. Penalty miss fucked his brains, should have shot for top corner, like he did lately.

 

[FCMessi]

missed a penalty, walked around all game as usual, set up a few 1v1.

People tend to expect more than that from a GOAT.

Second half wasn't as good, true. He is too old. But still managed to put 3 players on goal while others couldn't, so there is that.

Yup, Mbappe can get out of trouble just by his freakish acceleration. Messi looked sluggish.

Alexi Lalas' podcast is great too. That one, Gab & Juls, and 2 Robbies are probably my fav soccer podcasts.

And the guys at Siempre Positivo I enjoy

 

[Birdy]

He was abysmal today. His work rate and positioning have gotten even worse. Too old.

Ghost-walking at its best.

I feel sorry for him, he is sooooo done

Saving himself for the World Cup my ass.

Dude is toast.

I'll always love Messi and view him as the best player whoever lived. Still one of the best in the world right now. However I have nothing against Laporta not being able to keep him. He has clearly declined simply with age and Barcelona couldn't possibly evolve when they relied on him heavily. We aren't there yet and won't be for another couple years but we can at least say we've got a foundation on how to play without him and vision what we need to be on top again. A long way to go but we'll get there eventually.

Visca el Barca!!

Yes deservedly so. In this day and age of football if you walk for 70 mins you're a huge liability. Thing is he is walking even more now than two years ago.

Where on earth is his number 1 fan though?

 

[Catta]

Memphis would have scored the pen

 

[Rassvet]

Madrid were much worse than I expected although I haven't seen too much of them in La Liga while PSG did much better than I thought and controlled much of the match.

Messi looked the clear wink link in that team alongside possible Danilo. If they had a proper striker in that 9 role, PSG could have smashed Madrid today and would be close to the likes of Bayern and Pool although still behind City.

He didn’t even celebrate after the Mbappe goal….
