Messi has broken the game of football. Free kicks for him are basically goals Laughing

If only he could break penalties

Not sure what happened, up until 5 years ago or so he was great at them

Three game scoring streak from a freekick, second time in his career.

He had a brilliant game against Atleti today. One of his best seasons ever.

Took time to drag everyone to the middle where the keeper was also standing and then slotted it to the left post. Superb! Hope him and Suarez keep their form the time it matters most.

Some of his runs today reminded me young Messi. Takes the ball and goes to score by himself. Created two amazing chance for Alba and Suarez, and three chances for himself

Broke Iker Casillas Liga record of most wins with 335 win.

Top player. Shame he plays in the same Era as Ronaldo if not he would have been considered the best Ever.

Most goals against top 6 EPL teams

The first goal is so awesome. The frauds are calling it a gift from their defense ignoring the beauty of that inch-perfect placement from that tough angle.

by BarcaLearning on Wed Apr 17, 2019 1:47 pm

Did Fergie really say about after the game? If so thats good, since I remember he used to say CR is the best, possibly has his reasons, but we all know Messi is the best and he admits it.

Yep the first goal was all about his ability, he even paused for a moment to see if other players were going for the ball and everyone else just seem slow compared to him, he won that ball, through the legs of Fred, and then placed that ball into the far corner, hardly any other play on this planet can do that.

Only scored 3 in his first year, what a bum.

by danyjr on Thu May 02, 2019 12:42 am

His decline is quite obvious from that figure, but he's still a step about everyone else.

by Clutch on Thu May 02, 2019 1:28 am

The worst part about being a Madrid fan is that I cant fully appreciate his performances because I despise that shite club he plays for. And then when I am able to appreciate him on Argentina hes complete ass. It's a sick joke I tell you

There's still probably 7 months of the year to go lol, he'll probably get beyond 50 by December.

The graphic is year on year instead of season by season for some reason.

I am not the biggest Messi fan. Barca fans would call me a hater. That being said.

Tonight was a performance for the ages. An all time all time performance. As good a dribbling performance as I have seen. Makes it more special that he was dribbling elite players every time he got the ball. Robertson, Fabinho and VVD are some of the best in their position and he made them look like complete mugs. Passed well, created chances with his passing. An all time great freekick. Great motivation as a captain and never stopped running. As I said, a performance for the ages. And when he plays like that, he is an unstoppable force of nature.

It's the day where us Messians bring back the church at the centre of the village, Kommander's statues are being cut down, it's a cathartic moment of truth and justice.
D10S.
