Kroos8:


Messi was clearly Barca's board favorite, you can't tell me he was the best player in that team at that time.


Xavi and Iniesta worked so hard for Barcelona, what did they get it return? The Ballon d'or handed over to Messi.

Monkey dey work Baboon dey chop.

Thank you. I love Barca as a team ever since Ronaldinho but I hate the Messi hype. Na because of Messi, I start dey hate Barca sef. Xavi and Iniesta are my guys anytime, anyday.

Roasting of a G.O.A.T.

Kroos8:

He wasn't hiding, even at his best they'd still lose.

He has been carried along by his team mates for ages. When i said it people called me a hater. I'm just stating facts.

Messi cannot excel without high quality players around him. It's fair to say that those players made Messi what he is today.

greypencils:
Thank God you realize that. Xavi and Iniesta should be given their due respects. They made Messi shine at Barca because they fed him passes, which resulted to either assists or goals. They took that pressure of responsibility off him so that he could do what he does best, dribble and score goals but No! GOAT apologists would not let us hear word.

This applies to Ronaldo and every other great players out there. Without quality players around them to feed them passes, they wouldn't have succeded.

That's why Arsene Wenger has a point when he said individual awards should be scrapped in football. It's a team sport, a single player can't do it all, but a single player can be "exceptional".


As a side note, You can see this fact when Portugal won the Euro. Ronaldo was injured earlier in the game, but the team still went ahead to defeat France, which shows the quality. But the team defeating France without Ronaldo doesn't mean he wasn't exceptional throughout the tournament.

I have never hyped Ronaldo. I am a core Man United fan. But I attribute all of Man U's success at that time to the entire team, especially Scholes. After Ronaldo left, Man United still qualified for Champions league final in 2011. Man United fell off the grid first with Fergie, then with Scholes. Even if Fergie had left and Scholes had remained and was healthy, Man United would still have been decent. I just love Ronaldo as a player because of his mentality and hardwork which applies to everyday life. Even when Ronaldo got to Real Madrid, Modric and Ramos was, still are my favorite players.

Kriss216:
Barcelona is overrated!

I don't think so though. But they are terrible now.

However funnily, they usually lose 1 game in every UCL campaign since 2017!

The losses are the very bad type though.

This Bayern loss was their first loss in this campaign too.

I think we're on the same page, and we're making the same point. Every successful footballer won't be successful without their team mates.

In fact, this applies to life in General, most successful people (including great scientists and inventors) wouldn't have been successful without an "helper" around them.

I think this is why one has to be intentional about the people around him, because they can either bring out the best in you, or bring out the worse.


Have a nice day bro.

Humanoid01:
I really hope Man city gets past Lyon tonight. I can't wait for Bayern vs The cityzens. For that match ehn, dead body go surplus.

I swear

greypencils:
To you, everybody is at fault except Messi. Until you see Messi's role dictating who should play on the field as a problem, Barcelona will continue to fail at UCL. Same shit happened in Russia 2018. How can an in-form Dybala and Aguero be on the bench? Messi should have been an attacking midfielder. Di Maria, a central midfielder with both of them supplying balls to Aguero and Dybala. But no! Messi is the god of soccer so he dictates who plays. Barcelona needs a coach that would put Messi in his place. Not one that would kiss his arse. It is better to get good midfielders, the likes of Xavi and Iniesta or Messi should be dropped to attacking midfield to support very good strikers. Otherwise same shit is gonna happen next season.

aptly put. I dont need to add. For those who watch without bias this is the problem

For me, high point of the game was what youngster Alphonso Davies did to set up Kimmich's goal... That was Messi at least 2 seasons ago.

For a defensive player... That was just MAD!!!

eni4real:

Mention those players!!

Xavi has been playing in Barcelona since 1998. How many Ballon d'ors did he win?? How many UCL?? How many La liga before Messi debut in 2004??

Messi still won 1 Ballon d'or after Xavi and Iniesta left Barcelona!!

I just want to make it easier for you!!

Mention those players that 'made Messi what he is today'

Mention those players that won him the "World cup Golden ball, Copa America Golden ball, Olympic Golden ball, and World youth Golden ball"

Mention those players in Club and Country, and show me how those players have won any major individual achievement without Messi!!

You see the problem. Until you realize that football is a team sport and Barcelona consists of 11 players you, Messi apologists would always be the problem. Since none of these players have won any individual achievement let only Messi be on the pitch na? How can you trivialize the contributions of Xavi, Iniesta, Dani Alves, Neymar, David Villa, Puyol, and say because they didn't win any individual awards they were useless in helping him win the things he won? Did Iniesta, Xavi and rest of the Spanish team need Messi to win two continental titles and a world cup? Could you pick out one outstanding Spanish player in those campaigns? That is what you call teamwork. And Barcelona has been a team comprising the very best players allowing Messi to shine. Yet you trivialize and sacrifice all their achievements on the altar of your so-called GOAT. How can you? This your view no balance at all.

Chelsea still get hope I can't come and can

He said Messi's teammates made him who he is , that he is a Fraud. Not that good..

That is the reason for that reply!!

He deserves that reply!!

We know the quality of all his teammates.. They are good but do you think Messi is not better??

Since Messi is all in all, let him enter the pitch and continue do it all alone since the rest of his former teammates were not instrumental to his success. I have never heard any football worldview as jaundiced as yours.

Barca ate ( too (2) much food that Bayern gave them. Even their GOAT was isolated.

chocboi78:
that's designer the rapper not Davies

Lol I didn't say he's Davies, I merely said he looks like him [in that picture]. The idea was to bring the whole Barca trauma into it.

jaundiced?

I was only replying the guy that said Messi is not a good player, his teammates 'made him who he is today'..
You should join me in reply that guy instead!!

Messi is the Ballon d'or GOAT, we shouldn't allow anyone deride him in such a manner!!

Do we have an accord??

Bayern can't stop scoring goals, they even scored against themselves
