Messi at 33 is on terrible decline than Ronaldo was at 33, can't even score against a descent side except farmers.

He's now getting frustrated committing red card fouls upandan. I don't think the midget can take the heat of him declining.

GOAT of bottling.
Shameful announcement of retirement.

This season, Messi would finish trophyless, while Ororo at 35 can still boast of winning the league.

How would you all Messy stans explain to your kids that your GOAT had everything, trophies and awards but was useless to his nation. Not even a common spoon to show for playing for Argentina over a decade now..

What a shame.

Ororo is the greatest Portugal player.
The greatest Portuguese to play in La Liga, EPL, Serie A
Messi is not even the greatest player in his country.

Anybody that still don't get why he's loyal to Barca for life is plainly stupid..

must be hard staying loyal to one of the richest club in the world

Must be very difficult being loyal when you're the highest paid player in the world

i still can't understand how Messi is so loyal when Barcelona paid his fine for his tax fraud case even disgraced themselves to please him by creating the hashtag weareallmessi

I still can't get why Messi remains so loyal to a club that sacked a board member for criticising Messi's proposed contract extension.

Messi's loyalty also gets tested by Barcelona benching Ibrahimovic (club record signing) so he can play through the middle

I can't for the life of me fathom why Messi stays loyal to a club that not only pays him the highest wage in world football but also pays him under the table via donations to his nonexistent charity


it's a monumental task for Messi to stay loyal through these challenging points I gave up there. this level of loyalty brings tears to my eyes. can you hand me the handkerchief please? *snorts*

I like Messi and think he is an elite player that requires the best of the best players and everything to be in optimum condition for him to win . His last champions League title, he needed Suarez,neymar and iniesta. He has not won the UCL since 2015 without iniesta and previously xavi. Iniesta and xavi had leadership qualities that Messi lacks and I doubt if with xavi and iniesta, Barca would have lost at anfield 4-0 after the first leg. When things are not going right Messi doesn't have the grit or leadership ability to pull through.

That's why any small thing, he always retires from the national team. He doesn't have the same elite quality in the national team and the main issue with Messi is that coaches think he should be captain cos he's the best player however Messi is not captain material. He drops his head when things go wrong. It took neymar to ginger the team that season when they came back against psg . Neymar was letting his teamates know the game is on and he was gesturing and encouraging them and we also remember how Messi dropped his head and shoulder when that Roma defender scored to knock them out of the UCL. Compare to Ronaldo who got injured during final of the European championships which Portugal won and how he turned into an assistant coach on the touch line encouraging the team, Messi lacks that spirit .

All in all, Messi is the greatest ever but it's also good to acknowledge his faults and it will be interesting to see him win the UCL without either of xavi and iniesta . After all, talent is never enough. Happy birthday to the greatest player ever

Happy birthday to the king of football.

Lionel messi has not only being an inspiration, he is now the gold standard.

A man we can use as role model for our children.
A man we can tell stories on.

Lionel Messi made us realise that with GOD all things are possible.

He made us to know that you can be the best in the world and still be humble.

He made us realised that humility, respect and the love of GOD will take us far in life.

LIONEL MESSI made us to realise that you can stay and love one woman for the rest of your life and that you don't need to many girlfriends to become the best.

He made us to believe that we can be better husbands to our wife, and that men Indeed can be faithful to one woman.

He made us to believe with his goal celebration, that in all things, give glory to GOD.

HE made us to believe the page of the Bible that says, if a man is diligent in his works, he will eat before Kings of the earth.

Even former president of the United States of America, Barack Obama said and i quote:
I am the LIONEL MESSI of politics.

Even the pope of Catholic has many praises for LIONEL MESSI.

Presidents have invited him to their countries.

Kings and queens of the earth all adores him.

LIONEL MESSI is one of a kind.

You have made me to dream big and believe in GOD and myself.

Happy birthday my king.

by the order of the Peaky blinders.

Tommy would bribe Messi to play rubbish grin

2. When young, Messi was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency. However, after signing with Barcelona, the Spanish giants agreed to pay for his treatment.

these was the cheat they implanted into him. the scientist altered his hormone and he become super fast with the ball and became a special. i know its a conspiracy into it but somehow its possible. Some scientist still claim they can clone him. angry
