    PSG is literally destroying Messi. He’s still playing GOAT tier level with Argentina.

    I love how Opta gets their stats wrong, Messi has 1006 official games already.

    Barcelona C 5+0@10 900min
    Barcelona B 6+1@22 1515min
    Barcelona 672+330@778 63638min
    PSG 11+17@34 2872min
    Argentina 86+58@162 13378min

    Total 780 goals, 406 assists (wide), 1006 games, 82303 min, 69,4min per GA

    Does that include the five he scored a couple of weeks ago ?

    These sites all have different stats and many are well out of date

    Honoring 35th birthday, top 5 dribbles against Bilbao, two of which were Puskas nominees. I always wondered why Messi has so many great dribbles against Bilbao?

    Xavi has asked President Laporta to sign Leo Messi on a free when his contract expires with PSG next year. The club are contemplating the option.

    Overhead kick goal. Btw, Messi looks quite uncomfortable whenever he does an acrobatic kick. Maybe because of his short legs??? Maradona had shorter legs but he always perform those acrobatic kicks.

    The best bicycle kick ever is Rivaldo vs Valencia. Unparalleled.

    Pretty sure Rivaldo’s one curled away from the keeper into the corner. Never seen that before.
