Portugal must improve otherwise they won’t go beyond Quarter Finals.

Argentina & Brazil are well prepared and ready for this WC.

Lets watch out for Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands…..underdogs but they can shock any loose guarded top team.

Stop mentioning inconsequential Olympics, no one cares about junior tournaments... u want to undermine xavi and iniesta to uplift messi , typical Messi fans , u try to undermine every other player....now its mbappe and Haaland una de target... as long as iniest and xavi were critically involved in winning the CL in 2006 , while Pessi the penalty merchant only played full time in the group stage and wasn't involved in after round of 16...

As long as as Messi cudnt do it after both got old while he was still at his peak...it simply shows that he was just relying on those super heroes to shine ... he still wudntvwin it with psg ... Ronaldo used Scholes and fletcher to win CL, then used kroose and modric to win it again, then used Renato sanchez and moutinho to win Euros .. thats what bosses do...

Messi d fraud only sud thank xavi and iniesta...without both, he wud hv just been another higher grade Pablo Aimer

You mean same Olympics Nigerians have been bragging with all these years?

Nobody is undermining Xavi and Iniesta. It’s impossible to undermine genius like Xavi and Iniesta.

You’ve been trying so hard to ridicule and downplay Messi’s achievements by mentioning Xavi and Iniesta so don’t play that card here.

You keep creating scenarios that never existed to make Messi look terrible. No football or barca fan can ever undermine those two…..now you don add Mbappe and even Haaland to the list to lay claim wey no hold water.

See lies abeg……Messi that got injured against Chelsea in round of 16 played only group games??

Less than 1week after his recovery, he was included for the finals against Arsenal yet he was irrelevant…….listen to yourself man.

Did Xavi & Iniesta play Copa America with him?

Did they play for Argentina in 2014 World Cup?

Did they play Olympics with Messi?

Almost if not every single award he won with them, he did same without them.

European Golden Boots
UCL Golden Boot
La Liga Player of the Year
Highest Assist in the league/Europe
World Cup Golden Ball
Copa America Best Player
Copa America Top Goal Scorer

Once again, drop Ronaldo’s achievements after he left Modric, Kroos, Benzema, Marcelo and Ramos.

Aswear, you no fit kill me on this platform. so na Ronaldo win UCL for Scholes wey be one of the best midfielders in his generation.

He didn’t use Kroos and Modric to win UCL cos those guys just won another UCL without him but Ronaldo has not crossed quarter final after left Madrid.

Since una claim say na him win UCL for Man U and Madrid, why him no win for Juventus?

After Ronaldo left Kroos, Modric, Benzema, Ramos and Marcelo, he has not won or even competed for UCL top scorer but Messi led Barca to UCL semis and also won UCL Top scorer without Xavi and Iniesta.

No lie joor…… they won the final without him and they were on their way to win UNL when he noticed, he joined in the semis and stole Bernardo’s shine as usual.

The biggest fraud ever…. Statpadding with tapins and penalties to claim goat. He can only deceive his fans.

Ten Hag just exposed him…. Completely irrelevant without goals as he can’t contribute to general team play like Messi will.

Starz825:
Messi is the best in the world and he is above Ronaldo....
However, cr7 has nothing to prove to you....
Stop being stupid

I hate it when people do things like this thinking they are making Sense....

It was Most Barcelona fans that thought signing lewy makes them UCL favorite...not cr7 fans..

How can Barcelona fans think they are UCL favorites when Ronaldo fanboys have been trying so hard to undermine Messi’s achievements all these years.

Honestly, I thought you had sense but this last sentence just exposed your ignorance and foolishness at the same time.

Iniesta was at his twilight of his career...

Another convenient excuse to spite Messi.

Okay answer this!

Was Neymar in the twilight of his career in 2016 & 2017?

How about Suarez? Was he also in the twilight of his career in 2016 & 2017?

did messi contribute to them when they got to the final in 2006?

No he didn’t. Now tell me Xavi & Iniesta’s contributions when Barcelona won UCL in 06. How many goals & assists did they contribute?

Barcelona revolution started in 2004... anyone watching football then , knew that Barcelona were heading to dominate football...

Revolution in 2004? Cos they signed Dinho in 2003, Eto and Deco in 2004?

No that team won league and ucl but never dominated.

That was why the team crashed under Rijkaad’s watch.

Guardiola began their revolution that’s why he sold Dinho, Deco, Belleti, Eto and many others

Gave Xavi, Iniesta and Messi key roles

Promoted Pedro, Busquet, Giovanni and other la masia graduates.

Brought back Pique and later signed Fabregas

Bros, revolution began officially in 2008 after they had succeeded in shipping out Divisive figures in their dressing room like Dinho and few others.[/quote]At leastvxavi and iniesta won the champions league without messi... won the Euros without messi , win the world cup without messi... messi won nothing apart from a league titles with both ...[/quote]Both didn’t win UCL without Messi. Their first was in 2006 alongside Messi.

Messi won U20 WC, Olympics and Copa America without them and still led his team to WC Finals in 2014.

He was the best player in all the tournaments I mentioned……still without them

With or without them, Messi was made for the top thats why he never stopped winning European Golden Boots, topping assists chart, WC Golden Ball, Copa America Best Player, Top Scorer and even IFFHHS playmaker award that’s meant for midfielders.

I just highlighted individual Messi’s achievements without Iniesta and Xavi.

Kindly show me what Ronaldo achieved after he left Modric, Benzema, Marcelo, Ramos & Kroos

Lewandowski joined a struggling team thats trying to rebuild, Messi joined an established team to make it easy for him...thats when ud know messi na peoper wayo man... messi alone dint take barca to 6 consecutive semis ... xavi and iniesta did ...its evident cos when they left or gre old , they cudnt see semi final again... xavi left after 2015 , iniesta left after 2018...between 2015 thru to 2018, iniesta had reached the twilight of his career and was playing bit by bit games and was facing lots of injuries ...that was when the downfall and disgrace of barca started ... 2017 4.0 psg , 3.0 juve ...neymars last season, 2018 4.0 roma , 2019 4.0 Liverpool, 2020 8.2 bayern 2021 3.0 juve 4.1 psg ... omo my guy japa

suddenly, Lewandoski joined a struggling Barcelona cos they failed to qualify for the knock out stages.

Barcelona was not struggling when you called them UCL favourite after Lewandoski scored brace against Viktoria Plzen and still on top of la liga then.

Did you not say the team was doing well without Messi?

Did you not try to rubbish Messi by dropping Lewandoski’s stats?

All of a sudden, the stats doesn’t matter cos his goals no fit help them.

And where did I say Messi took Barca to 6 semis on his own? Abeg no lie on me.

And by your logic, you should be able to tell us how many semis Xavi and Iniesta played before Messi became a regular since they are solely responsible for the consecutive semis Barca played during that time.

Stop making it look like their downfall began after the exit of Iniesta, Xavi and Neymar.

In 2016, Iniesta and Neymar played both legs when ATM knocked them out of UCL.

In 2017, Iniesta and Neymar played both legs when they were knocked out of UCL by Juve.

In 2018, Iniesta played both legs when Roma eliminated them from UCL.

Iniesta and Neymar exit changed little or nothing at all cos even while they were there, Barcelona didn’t play semis after 2015 when Xavi was still around.

And after their exit, Messi still led the team to another semis in 2019.

And lastly, don’t forget Xavi & Iniesta played both legs when Bayern hammered Barcelona 7-0 on aggregate.

It shows the problem didn’t start after their exit. It’s been a long time coming

Look at the screenshots, tell me if na another Iniesta and Neymar play those games

Bigchristo:
Na Pendu help Barca sell Messi to PSG? Guy your hate for Ronaldo go land you for inside basin of hot water one day agbaya

Cleaning mess by collecting 8.2 , collecting 5.2 , collecting constant disgrace in R16 or quarter final... Barcelona only reached one semi final in Messi's last 7 years in Barcelona...so dint make it seem like they were doing absolutely well....

Only Messi can’t stop Bayern, PSG & Liverpool but he made sure they got to the quarter final and semis in 6 consecutive years.

But you were bragging with Lewandoski and now samething that happened to Ronaldo after he left Madrid is staring him in the face.

Messi effort not enough but it never got them eliminated in the group stages not to even talk of 2 consecutive years

Lukuluku69:
Baba this your comment just off me!

Spot on! And the attached Picture? Priceless.

As much as I don't do this GOAT debates, the way the Ronaldo Camp go on about Messi is not right at all.

Nemesis has finally caught up with them

Make we Pepe them small

Boyooosa:
Khai, this your image speaks a million words...

Mw, Ronaldo wasn't a useless player just that he was unfortunate to have shared a generation with the real GOAT.

Na just to pepe them bro

lhordspy:
What are you saying oga?
From 2016-2021- How many times have they failed to make it to the knockout stages?
From 2016-2021, throughout those years they were winning just one or two single matches in a UCL tournament right?

Do you know what it is for a team like barcelona to have won just 3games in two consecutive UcL season. Haba!

Bros, leave Pendu fans. If Barcelona had qualify and maybe gone ahead to play CL final, they would have said, Messi was the problem all along but as e no go their way, na to find excuse as usual.

manuelkel:


You just dey pull some urchins them leg
Which kind wahala be this ?

aswear and most of them take am serious ooh

They no fit identify joke sef

Messi has been cleaning their mess for years but Pendu fans dey fabricate lies to make it look like he was doing nothing other than earning huge sum at the detriment of the club.

2 consecutive seasons after his exit, Barcelona have not been able to qualify from their UCL group yet we were told he was the problem.

They signed Lewandoski, one notorious Pendu fan said, Barcelona na UCL favourite this season cos they smashed Viktoria Plzen 4nil.

He even went further to say if Lewandoski had played with Iniesta & Xavi, he would have done everything Messi did but one thing he didn’t know is, Messi can’t be replaced by mere goal scorers.

Finally, we can clearly see who carried his team and who was obviously carried by teammates.

Naso we hear say Rico Swarvey dey hospital next thing na death news.

God abeg make nothing do this guy

Carry Jagaban instead

Athemisia:
You seem to forget that before Madrid defeated Liverpool last season, Liverpool had already defeated ATM and Villarreal in the group stage and semi final respectively.

The points is simple, EPL teams show dominance in Europe among other leagues even the least for the past 7years.

And you have suddenly forgotten 2years ago ATM flogged Liverpool home and away in UCL round of 16.

Villareal defeated Man U to win UEL 2021

Sevilla knocked Man U out of UEL in 2020

Sevilla also knocked Man U out of UCL in 2017 or 2018

Sevilla defeated Liverpool to win UEL in 2015.

Just this season Sociedad defeated Man U at old Trafford.

Remind me when Barcelona, Madrid or even ATM lost to an average EPL team in Europe

lhordspy:
True. I forgot.

Any which way it goes, sevilla is doomed

Exactly and Europa won’t be easy this time

yomi531:
LA liga is over hyped. They only bank on star players. Ever since messi and ronaldo left, na struggle them dey take progress to knockout stage of CL. EPL is miles ahead of la liga. Like I always say, it’s not the eventual winners they look at but, the spread of power. How strong are the teams of a given country in Europe? How many teams make it to last 16, 8 and semis. If there was a space for top 6 epl teams in Cl, I can bet my balls that all of them will reach quarter finals. Can the same be said about ur over hyped la liga? ... Big No

Either you don’t know football or you started watching ball few years ago.

I am an Arsenal fan but this piece you wrote is full of sentiment.

First of all, were you expecting la liga teams to reign forever?

10years of dominance(2009-2018) in both UCL & UEL is not joke and it’s only normal to decline.

Out of the 4 teams that represented Spain in the UCL between 2009-2018, it’s a known fact that Real Madrid, Barcelona & ATM have appeared in UCL semis & final 8 out of their 10years of dominance.

Please, what were the EPL big boys doing during the time under review?

How strong are the teams of a given country in Europe?

You really want us to do this?

Small Sevilla dealt with Liverpool in UEL final

Same Sevilla still knocked Man U out of UCL & UEL in recent years.

Tiny Bilbao also knocked Man U out of UEFA Cup

And most recently, Average Real Sociedad defeated Man U at old Trafford.

How about Man U losing to Villarreal in UEL final?

Unless my memory has failed me but I can’t seem to remember a time an average EPL team like Tottenham or Arsenal knocked any Spanish giant out of UCL.

Average EPL teams like Leceister, Westham, Everton and wolves have all participated in UEL, what was their achievements?

The leagues you love to call farmers league have been supplying EPL players and coaches for many years.

An average EPL team can spend 100m to sign players in transfer market and that’s the reason the league looks tough cos both big and small teams have strong purchasing power.

Westham, Leceister, Everton and many others can comfortably spend 40-50m to sign one player. Betis, Sociedad, Villarreal, Valencia and even Sevilla can’t but these teams still perform well in Europe better than those overrated EPL teams.

lhordspy:
Sevilla is logically out. Sevilla have to win 9-0. Without dortumund even scoring. The more goals dortmund scores, the more goals sevilla will have to add to the 9-0.

Is that logically possible?

they will use H2H not goal difference and Dortmund will still qualify even if they lose.

McTominay:
I would mention a few who could not make the grades in the epl but were great defenders elsewhere. For starters Pique, Jerome boateng of then man city, Stefan savic of then man city, Eric Garcia.

Are they better than any of the names I mentioned?

Just so you know, Pique didn’t flop in EPL. Fergie never gave him a chance. Pique had just 12 appearances between 2004-2008.

Jerome Boateng is not a match for any of the names I mentioned.

Savic? You should be ashamed to even mention this name.

obembet:
Just Spur, Aston villa and Everton

when last Aston Villa and Everton play Europa not to even talk of UCL?

obembet:
You are correct. But I don't see Barcelona getting beta like before for the next 5 season.

Even when they were better, you never acknowledged it. So how do we know your opinion is not out of your inborn hatred.

DesChyko:
Someone's comparing Beckham's output to Messi's output despite the stark difference in their position and roles on the pitch.

Jokerman:
Lol... same Barca wey sign Wolves Traore, Leeds Raphinha or what?

Hleb was a skillful and intelligent footballer, I no sabi wetin Barca give am chop

Looking at Barcelona star studded squad that year, do you think they would have signed Traore or Raphinha?

Their just dey try rebuild right now and no forget say Traore na their product just like Cesc and Pique. Raphinha get talented…. He can be great. Arsenal and Chelsea been follow the guy too….. if he’s not good, big teams no go fight for am.
