"Lionel Messi is the best football player in the world-- possibly of all time.
So why won't his countrymen love him?"

Kind of late but his assist yesterday was orgasmic.

El Barcelona gana un 89% de los partidos en los que marca Messi. Si Messi no marca, su equipo sólo gana un 52%

Barcelona win 89% of the games in which Messi scores, and 52% of the games in which he doesn't score.

Most successful dribbles in first Liga round (19 games): Messi 93 - Jefferson 36 - Marcelo 36 - Joaquin 33 - Muniain 32 [via marca]

jiopsi, how is a successful dribble calculated? Lol @ Messi almost tripling anyone else, omg!

I'm not sure tbh, I think "one dribble" is one dribbling run, regardless how may players you have dribbled.

==> Messi 25> Messi 24 ?

Can any one recall the last time he was even substituted?

He's been subbed on 1 time in the league and 2 times in the cup, but never off, this season. The last time he was subbed off in the league was the 23rd of April in 2011, in the 57" minute. That was the only time he got subbed off a league match that season.

Most assists for Messi's 217 Barcelona goals: Alves 25 - Xavi 18 - Iniesta 16 [via el mundo deportivo]

Its amazing considering he gets attention in every game and fouled so much...and he has to play at such intense high levels, its no wonder we see him sometimes running less to conserve energy nowadays...

And the assists shows how important Alves is....

The Last-time Messi got substituted off was on 12 Jan 2011 in Copa del Rey at Camp Nou: FCBarcelona 5 - 0 Betis at 86th minute.

Here's a good article on Messi back from 2004 by Mundo Deportivo, if you can read Spanish, it's a good read and pretty interesting to look back on.

Probably the best video ever made about Messi, by a gigantic distance. Please watch the whole video, there is funny moment about 8 min.

jiopsi, try to post Messi's stats here next time, at least here Barca fans will appreciate your work ..

jiopsi is not a kudos bit.ch, he doesnt need thanks for his work. but if he wants people to lick his as.. and give him thx even when he posts useless things then he should act different

but i like this jiopsi, at least we have a fighter in general section. another reason why jiopsi gets so much hate is because barca dont have enough supporters in general section. if at least 2 barca fan support jiopsi then people will appreciate him and his works. alone you are nothing with people you are something
