The "Messi: the best player in the world. Is it even up for discussion?" thread

If that really happens , CR would be asking balon to renamed after him.

 

Messi was training yesterday. Reports say he could be back soon.

 

Master is back.

 

incredible messi. its a shame that our midfield and defense suck today

 

Just like in recent WC, Messi had 2 assists but his team midfield and defence suck and lost 3-4 aswell. I dont think we would win CL if defence doesnt get fixed. It has been like this since we got thrashed by Roma.

 

With that Pichichi Messi has reached his 160th individual title

 

Lol....that was the question that came to my mind as well.

 

Looking at it from this angle, looks like he meant it:

He even did it with the outside of his foot, not the instep!!!! Watch the slow motion....today everyone is going crazy over it.

Insane, impossible!

In slow motion, it is even more astonishing:

I have been watching futbol for 40+ years...have not seen anything like it.

 

4 players surround him and he scores it so effortlessly

 

I'm impressed by the freekick too, when was the last time we scored a tactical freekick?

 

I would say that too if I wanted that to work again.

 

I actually thought it was a shot for the bottom right hand corner tbh

 

It does look like an attempt at goal but stupid Pique got in the way.

 

Agreed .. Pique was presumably supposed to jump out of the way
Messi didn't get it just right and Pique maybe got lucky ?

 

Ta da ..

#Messi " Piqué said that the free kick was practiced before during trainings ? Its a lie He is joking for sure the shot was poor and Piqué was there then it ended up in the goal by luck”

 

Who cares, its went in and its a direct assist...similar to his first assist against France. He basically shoot it straight to goalkeeper but Mercado reacted and flicked the ball in.

Former Spain and Real Madrid manager Vicente del Bosque does not understand how Messi has been overlooked, insisting the prize will lose its importance without the 31-year-old.

"I am very surprised that Messi isn't there," he said to Marca.

"I think it (the award) loses all value if he is not leading the best players in the world.
