Messi's probably scored around 80% of the high pressure penalties he's faced in CL/WC/Copa/big LL games.

Not absolutely elite, but that's more than a decent record as he's taken A LOT of them.

I'm not sure Neymar or Mbappe are any better. In fact, I know Neymar is definitely worse. Mbappe iffy.

i bet marquinhos is a more reliable PK taker than the front three. messi is an abysmal PK taker who is unreliable in such situations. if he were a proper 'teammate' he would accept that, take FKs, and let someone else, someone with balls, take PKs

Good plan, let's give pens to a centre back with no history of taking pens.

It's crazy Messi hasn't scored 100% of his pens, just not good enough is it

:facepalm: where have you been the last 10 years as messi has missed consequential PK after consequential pk? did you watch him last year against PSG? did you watch him last week against Real?

thats not the kind of guy you want taking your crucial CL KO pens

neymar is worse but neymar is also not messi tier. so its not exactly a good comparison.

you have to at least accept messi isnt an ideal PK taker

Good save from Courtois.. wasn't a terrible pen, not great either.

Always funny how an average pen can become a great pen with the keeper diving the other way..

How many crucial CL pens has Messi missed in last 10 years? PSG game was dead, Barca didn't have the team to turn it around. Chelsea in 2012.. anyone else?

Messi has scored plenty of CL knockout pens.

The commentator said the coach designates the PK player before the match, so imagine Messi telling Poch he doesn't feel comfortable with that responsibility. I think the best option would be for coach to designate player and then the player with option in real time to pass off if there's a gut feeling.

Ramos has an extremely high 85.7% conversion rate so he should be taking all of them when he's on the pitch. I bet if Marquinhos had taken PKs in his career he'd be about 83%.

that was the most hapless, spiritless penalty messi could have taken. try again




also remember messi crying after he missed his PK against chile in copa america.

Messi has just landed in Barcelona.

? @gerardromero


I got a job as a psychologist and my first patient was the Eibarman! Pessi was admitted with anger issues for destroying the city of Eibar in a statpadding rampage! I told Pessi to stop bottling his anger up inside but he said it?s in his nature to bottle! Shame on you Pessi!

Messi got 2 great assists and OG unleashed 60-70 posts on here over 4 hours.

I can only imagine what happens if he scores 2 in a game one of these days :lol:

Just saw his match compilation and wasn't too impressed. The assists were good but those were basically his only noteworthy actions. It's almost trolling Messi to get so giddy over that kind of display.
