[Harmonica]

Lmao apparently PSG wants Messi. How terribly big.

[Harmonica]

7th goal outside the box in 2021, 17+8 in 18 games.

[El Gunner]

this guy never stops.. never ceases to amaze
that first goal was unbelievable... and to think he has dozens of goals like that in the archive, there are talented players that can't even dream to score a goal like that

[Valkyrja]

the guy been making incredible stuff look ordinary for 15 years

[FennecFox7]

Messi only scores bangers now. Simple goals are overrated. GOAT

"Messi has now surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo in scoring non-penalty goals during their careers:
636 635

He did it in 144 fewer games

Messi took 2602 shots to score 636
Ronaldo took 3249 shots to score 635

Messi scored 74 goals from outside the box
Ronaldo scored 57 goals from outside the box "

[Kebab]

"Messi scored 77.8% of his penalties
Ronaldo scored 83.9% of his penalties

Messi’s Big Penalty Misses:
- 2012 Champions League Semi-final vs Chelsea
- 2016 Copa America Final vs Chile

Ronaldo’s Big Penalty Misses:
- 2008 Champions League Semi-final vs Barcelona
- 2008 Champions League Final vs Chelsea
- 2012 Champions League Semi-final vs Bayern Munich"

Messi penalty miss vs PSG was also big. Would have been the beginning of another remontada

GOAT shit

[Hapless_Hans]

form ranking

[Harmonica]

[Valkyrja]

The only player I've seen that could sit at the same table with him is Ronaldo before 1999, who was still not as good because his development was hampered by injuries.

CR is closer to Lewandowski than to Lionel

[titosantill]

wait, what exactly is form ranking ?

[Kebab]

[Harmonica]

Most titles for a single club

35 Messi
34 Giggs
...

[Harmonica]

Most Goals and Assists in 2021

32 Messi (23+9)
25 Lewandowski (22+3)
24 Gerard Moreno (18+6)
24 Halaand (18+6)
24 Mbappe (21+3)

50th official free kick goal for Barcelona

[Harmonica]

At 34 completes all 15 dribbles (opta) against Celta Vigo and equals Liga record set by 20 year old Messi in 07-08 against Betis.  

First player to complete 150 dribbles in top 5 leagues this season.

Wins record 8th (Zarra 6), and record 5th consecutive Pichici (Di Stefano, Sanchez, Messi 4).

Imagine your club bought a player and you watch his youtube clips to get to know him. You get impressed. You just watch his current season highlights and still get impressed



34 years old messi still can impress

[BarcaLearning]

Nice video Kebab definitely. Espeically love that goal vs Bilbao he virtually walks the ball into the net

[Myesyats]

We shouldve won more trophies with him. He's unbelievable. Thanks bartomeu
