That's some genius marketing move.

Navas and Casillas are getting drunk tonight.

[Myesyats]

wat

What is that pass?

[BarrileteCosmico]

Perfectly weighted, convinced the GK and defenders it was going out

[Harmonica]

Dat fk.

[Myesyats]

Last 2 games reminded me of 2012 Messi scoring at will when he broke the record for most goals in a calendar year. He looks very slim like he did back then, too

[El Gunner]

^^damn son that's high praise, might have to start watching Barca games again if that's close to being the case

[Harmonica]

[Harmonica]

It took 10 minutes to change the game.

[Myesyats]

Betis defending is shit, with a proper striker we normally would have smoked them and not scrape by with one goal

[Kebab]

Lionel Messi has now equalled C.Ronaldo’s number of career goals from open play (573).

He’s achieved this in 145 fewer games.

[Myesyats]

incredible

[danyjr]

He has visibly declined this season, I don't know whether it is due to old age, lack of motivation or playing with two French clowns up front.

Finishing was almost back to his best against Alavés however. Maybe he's getting horny for PSG.

Still the only 8+ player (8.44) in the world based on whoscored, closest one being Lewandowski with 7.92.

[danyjr]

I know, but he is kinda looking mortal this season. His passing hasn't been what it used to be, looks like his worst season in terms of finishing (I don't know what his scoring stats are for this season but he looks like he is missing more chances than usual).

I blame part of it cause he wanted to leave and wasn't allowed to. And the fact that he's gone from playing alongside prime Neymar and Suárez to Griezmann and Braithwaite But part of me thinks he is also getting old.

[Harmonica]

Yeah I agree on sulking at start of the season, but seems to be back lately in scoring, freekicks and passing. 5 game scoring streak in the league with one of his best starts for the year with 8 goals in 6 games.

[Harmonica]

On 4th longest Liga scoring streak:

21 games 12-13 (33 goals)
10 games 11-12 (18 goals)
8 games 18-19 (12 goals)
7 games 20-21 (11 goals)

[Myesyats]

Back to dominating minnows....

[El Gunner]

^^im a bit confused myesmates... you're a Barca fan but you seem to dislike Messi?

[Myesyats]

I still love him but hes finished. Hard to get excited for a brace against Elche if he's going to do nothing again vs psg, not saying its his fault btw, in the other thread i said he'd be playing better in the correct environment. But against an organized defence he be losing the ball 30 times per game

[Kebab]

Look at those goals and pass for third goal. How a finished player play like that. Seems the virus in the barca section infected other posters too

Against psg he scored penalty which created by himself. Then put dembele in a scoring position. He was doing well but mistakes by defense changed the game and after that its hard to play

That same Mbappe flopped in CL his entire life, doesnt mean he is finished. Aguero never played a CL final or any m.city player. Does Messi's soul holds them back?

[Harmonica]

Yeah what, just scored few days ago against superior PSG? Worlds best player is finished? Myshit trying to complete Three Amigos with Alex and drunk Alex.

[FennecFox7]

Imagine calling someone a virus because they disagree with you on something (funny cause mye has defended messi multiple times). That’s the definition of immature

I don’t even know how harmonica is allowed to say half the shit he says either. Dear me

[Myesyats]

Barca fans always been toxic, you get called shit for diplomatically saying a 34 year old player is finished, I chose my words carefully cause I know you can't say anything against mehssi

Besides Messi fanboys are not barca fans. Jiopsi already said he will jump ship once messi leaves so he's got a condition called a plastic spine. And as you said Fennec i always defend messi but as you see this is how it goes.

[Harmonica]

Diplomatically. Back at minnows after scoring against PSG, finished when you've by far the highest rating in whoscored, playing in awful team, against refrids in every game.

OptaJose Top three players from the top five European league with the most goals in 2021 in all comps:

13 - LIONEL MESSI (playmaker)
12 - Robert Lewandowski (striker)
10 - Erling Braut Haaland (striker)

I'm more Barca fan than all the fake ones put together here, just read who has defended Barca the most. But even I've limits, and I've grown out from Barca, because all the shit going on years end, and all the fanboys it has, like the Three Amigos.
