[Harmonica]

Casually creates 1on1 from own half.

What about youngest player to reach 800? Or youngest player to reach 900, or better yet, a thousand, why are we stopping at 700?

Because nobody has scored 800 official goals at senior level.

[danyjr]

He found himself in more congested areas than he's used to in the past few seasons, playing more centrally. Not one of his best performances, but he was still Barça's best player hands down.

[Myesyats]

I thought Busquets was MOTM, he really enjoyed himself with all this ball possession.

[BarcaLearning]

Messi played like God again in this match, as did many of the players and naturally Messi knowing he just has to do so much more now without Suarez.

[Harmonica]

500+240 the last 500 games.

[Thimmy]

[Harmonica]

Nice story.

[danyjr]

Who the hell is this man? Doesn't even know Maradona's name smh

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Put some respect on SIR Patrick Stewart's name pls.

[danyjr]

I had no idea who he was until I remembered the facepalm meme

Also tell him to put some respect on EL Diego Maradona's pls ffs. Even malnourished children in Burundi know who he is.

[Harmonica]

I think that's an obvious sign of dementia, he's old man already. You no remember Oblivion danyjr?  

[danyjr]

I remember that intro. My PC used to crash right after it cause I didn't have enough RAM

[Harmonica]

Oblivion is still the crashiest, buggiest Bethesda game to date. Although it can be excused because it was revolutionary rpg at the time, it introduced physics to the genre. With mandatory mods like Better Cities and Unique Landscapes it becomes even more memory crashy, although it can be clued together with ENBoost quite well.

[danyjr]

Not one of his best performances but those through balls were incredible. How quickly he realises Semedo is making a run despite his back to him, the weight and accuracy of the pass on the ground to Fati...

There is nobody better than him. Not even El Diego. I'll be sad when he retires.

[Mr Nick09]

Dictator Messi just reprimanded Abidal on IG by telling him to assume his responsibilities.

What a man

[BarrileteCosmico]

And people then say he is not a leader

Where is "future president" Pique? Partying at the superbowl?

[futbol]

He is 100 % right. Abidal as sporting director talking about effort of the players while Messi is paired with a 17 year old who needs permit of his parents to play beyond 9 PM and the club is crying out for a wide forward for 3 years now.

Abidal is a characterless idiot anyway. He was campaign alongside Laporta against Bartomeu then 2 years later takes a job under Bartomeu. Clown.

[Myesyats]

Yeah. Bartomeu is an imbecile, that we all know, but at least he could surround himself with competent people, but no. Instead, he decided to bring in Abidal who is a horrendeous sporting director and so are the rest of the management board.

Take reponsibility for appointing an amigo who allowed complacency with players who weren't great physically to begin with. The recruitment and scouting department at this club is shocking too. Also, the way they conduct these transfer moves is so disrespectful to other clubs. Nothing good to be said about current management. Elections in 2021....

At one of the games last week or the week before, security escorted out a fan holding up a "Bartomeu resign" sign. Ridiculous.
