What Messi did against PSG return leg, 1 week into his hamstring injury is one of the most awe inspiring things I've seen in football. A true testament to Messi's character and hunger to win and help the team, risking his own well being, rest of the season, if not his prime years.

this has to stop ffs...

He's injured - except he's not. His coach said so. Nope, he deems it exorbitant to even attempt to help his team. By not playing, he hung his team out to dry and sealed their faith and initiated their later humiliation. A team that has given him everything. That's unacceptable for all players, but for one of his caliber - it's disgraceful.
