Chanchit: If Messi fails to break that record, him and that coach should be blaimed, he should have started the match and even play in the kings cup match, then start resting after breaking the record, I jst hope he's not injured, it means I'll stop watching football, cos all other players are mere mortals, including Ronaldo, well Iniesta is a super mortal sha.

Lionel Messi Injury: May Not Miss Any Time

Lionel Messi is out of the hospital and the tests are looking good. As expected, the MRI did not find any further internal damage. It is just a nasty bruise.

His availability for Sunday's La Liga clash versus Betis depends on how he recovers. Cules around the world should feel relieved it is nothing too serious.

They had feared the worst when Messi was carried off the field after a collision with Benfica's Artur. But initial reports suggested it was just the bruise, nothing more.

Those reports now appear to be correct.

Barcelona may still be in a bind for the tricky trip to Seville if their star is not ready, but the Catalans should have enough firepower in any case to dispatch Real Betis.

Still Pending Tests, But Vilanova Confident Messi Will Be Back Soon

MRI tests usually take less than 24 hours, but until the results come back, no one will know for sure if there is serious damage from the injury Lionel Messi suffered in Barcelona's 0-0 match against Benfica.

But Tito Vilanova seems confident. "He won't be out for a long time," Tito told reporters in his post-match press conference.

Vilanova also defended his decision to play Messi in what was effectively a meaningless game, noting that a player can also be injured during training. "If he can't play against Betis on Sunday, so be it," the coach said.

The bruise on the front of the striker's left knee could sideline him for a match, but it appears his manager is not worried past that.

Messi was walking normally and appeared calm. As a precaution, he remains in the Hospital of Barcelona for now to have further tests

So Sad ;-(
Re: Lionel Messi Injured In Champions League Match Against Benfica by Jazzgreen(m): 7:53am On Dec 06, 2012
I neva believed dis phrase until now;NO MESSI,NO BARCA, see as the match ended goal less cos,1. He didnt start the 1st half,so 1st half ended without goal. 2.he was out of pitch in 2nd half,so 2nd half was without goal.
Its somehow awful but at least it gives messi d respect as a ONE MAN SQUAD ,tank God MESSI pledged to end his career in BARCA,so no need to fear,barca wud always be at the top. Get well MESSI- from a life time barca fan.6yrs barca fan and stil countin til infinity.i wil wear barca jersey even in my old age.my children and grand children wil all be barca fans,dat my own pledge.i just pray messi keeps playin,so my children wil witness him .MY SYMPATHY ONCE MORE TO THE ALIEN SUPERSTAR,u cant be in dat injury table longer dan 12hours,i'll even c u at trainin ground tomorow

You can't blame the Coach.

Messi Plays every Minute of Every Game, because that's his choice.

He is bigger than The Coach

He is like Kobe...he tells the Coach when and how often he plays...not the other way around.

#SuperStar.

Reyginus: Guy, did you watch the match at all?
the guy is ryt naa he had a couple of players to square the ball to in the box instead he chose to round d GK which invited d challenge. Even after he scrambled the ball pass the Gk he tried to loop the ball ova 2 defenders on the goal line b4 he eventually went down. You cud see some signs of desperation in wat he was tryna do

Tests carried out on Wednesday evening have confirmed that player Leo Messi has a contusion (bruising) on the outside of his left knee. The progress of the injury will determine the forward’s availability for the next match, according to the Club’s Medical Services. The blaugrana play again on Sunday against Real Betis in matchday 15 of La Liga.

The Argentine left the pitch on a stretcher in the 84th minute of Wednesday’s match against Benfica, after a collision with rival goalkeeper Artur. Messi had come on in the 58th minute, replacing Rafinha.

ebamma 3: playing in a basketball league called la liga im not suprised to see him scoring hatricks every week,and to the topic, that serves him right for being greedy,instead of him passing the ball to either pique or tello who were inside the box to score he opted to score himself so that he can break gerd mueller's record,
Your ignorance shows, in la liga dey just keep scoring because that's where real football expression is outside brazil. Don't u know that la liga is where football is right now? See d level of players poached from the la liga Toure,silva,aguero,javier garcier, michu,de gea ,torres,carzola abeg d list is endless. What of mediocre clubs in la liga killing premiership and europe's greats(Malaga,athletico madrid,athletico bilbao) see champions league make u shut ur trap. How many Falcao that is playing in a basketball league score against Chelsea?? Abi that na basketball game? For ur info Messi has d highes assists if u even know what that means. Iidoit!

See the way chumps are rejoicing over Messi's injury. tongue

The lad will be back, and that record is going down. Even if it's in an inconsequential Copa Del Rey tie. It's just two goals, three games left.
