Besides Griezman maybe, Messi is the attacker who tracks back the most.

It's obvious people are always blocking you in your viewing centre so you hardly see that.

And the place is probably always so noisy you don't hear the commentator praise him for that.

In addition if you see the statistics, Messi is always the player with the highest possession, and the h

Task your brain more, you need to put your brain to full capacity.
It has obvioysly fallen under range over the years.

Guy the game make sense well nice one. We will try again

TalabiAudu:
Messi, waste of space.

Getting dispossessed multiple times

Playing so many wrong pass

Stealing freekick from Pjanic's position and blasting it high into the stands.

Diving like a swimmer.

Krasid:
Where did you get your stats from? He was worse than this. massive decline.

tesppidd:
They removed passes and gave us key passes.
They removed number of times he had possession and what they gave us is possession lost.

You don't post stats like this in isolation. You post the player's stats and juxtapose with the stats of other players to see how he performed.


By the way;
Nobody says he was the best against Madrid.

Nobody says he was excellent against Madrid.


But meatheads came up from the blues, singled him out and labelled him a lazy footballer.

When despite his relatively "bad" game, he was still among the best performers.

That was your first reaction "Messi is a lazy footballer"

Can your now see how idiotic you sounded.?

tesppidd:
Truth?

Most of you have really braced up to attack Messi till match day 38 just to justify your foolish position that he should have been sold.

This is the player ratings by the popular Daily Independent.

I will give you more.


Barcelona:

Neto – 5. Most of Madrid’s efforts on goal were fired straight at him, and there was little he could do about Valverde’s opener. Came close to stopping the penalty, and made a brilliant double save late on, but also made a vital error that contributed to a goal.

Sergino Dest – 7. The American international looked comfortable throughout, with Vinicius struggling to impact the game. Dest was solid both offensively and defensively in an encouraging performance.

Clement Lenglet – 4. He was caught out several times, and foolishly fouled Ramos for the penalty.

Gerard Pique – 6. After the whirlwind start, Pique started to settle into the game and kept Madrid quiet.



Jordi Alba – 8. A fine performance by Alba, who rolled back the years with a classic outing. The Spaniard bombed up and down the left, and excellently assisted Fati for the equaliser.

Sergio Busquets – 6. The veteran kept Barcelona ticking, but he didn’t stay with the run of Valverde for the Uruguayan’s opening goal.


Frenkie De Jong – 5. A quiet game for De Jong, who seemed to suffer from the deep play of Coutinho and Messi. He was dominated by Kroos, but was better in the second half.


Pedri – 6. Whilst Pedri should be commended for becoming the second-youngest player in El Clasico history, it wasn’t a performance to remember as the 17-year old was quiet throughout.

Philippe Coutinho – 6. The Brazilian failed to impact the game how he would have wanted, and he perhaps should have scored early in the second half.

Ansu Fati – 7. Fati was brilliant in the first half, and continues to live up to the enormous hype. He was a threat throughout, and scored the equaliser when he turned in Alba’s cross.


Lionel Messi – 7. The Argentine magician played a brilliant through ball to Alba, who set up Fati for the equaliser. Almost scored a brilliant goal after spinning Ramos.

Substitutes:

Antoine Griezmann – 6.

Ousmane Dembele – 6.

Francisco Trincao – 6.

Real Madrid:

Thibaut Courtois – 6. The Belgian had little to do, and was certainly not at fault for the equaliser.

Nacho – 5. He struggled against Fati before suffering an injury that ended his game prematurely.

Sergio Ramos – 8. He dealt with most of Barcelona’s attacks, and showed why he is so important to Madrid’s backline. Won and scored the winning penalty.


Raphael Varane – 7. The Frenchman is a calm, assured presence at p

tesppidd:
This is a very silly comment.

Just say you didn't watch.

If not for Courtois' reflexes he would have had his goal after he neatly beat Ramos in the box.

Not to forget Casemiro's last ditch tackle on him after he had him beaten that just so so nearly earned us a penalty.

Or his defensive work on Valverde and others.

Stop being a cynic.

tesppidd:
This is a very ironic statement.
Where is this coming from?

Messi practically played in defence, midfield and attack today.

joviegghead:
OH it's Messi's fault now eh?

Okay, if Messi plays poorly, what do think a good manager should do?
