"Barcelona is Messi."


"We are lucky in that at Barcelona, we have the best player in the world and of all-time, we have to do everything possible to ensure he finishes his career at Barcelona.”

He literally carries Barca...

Messi is the GOAT

He is the greatest player ever!

I won't underestimate the ability of Messi but saying Barca is Messi is wrong in it entirety. The problem that Messi has is that he can't prove what you guys attributed to him. The two wonder player that distinguish Barca are Iniesta and Xavier. Iniesta played his first game in Barca in 2002 and Messi played his first game in 2004, Iniesta has been the reason why the absence of Dinho, Eto etc were not felt. the 5 champions league Barca has, Iniesta won 4. Barca has not been able to replace Iniesta, that is the problem in Barca, Coutinho can't play like Iniesta and he was loaned out though he is a good player. If Messi go to another team or remain in Barca, if there is no one to control the mildfiled like Iniesta did, he will remain average, thank you.

Not even loving him like your brother but like your own son. Oga Eto how old are ?

He should tell us his real age lol

Barça is Messi and Messi is Barça if Messi leaves Barça today,surely it will affect the team. Am sure most of the players will also leave the club.....becos Messi is the reason why most of this players are still staying in the club.

But things looks so bad...now is the right time to leave and breath a fresh air somewhere else.

This is a legend and an insider speaking not an outsider like some nairalanders who don't know what makes a team and management.

Great ETO'O!

seunlayi:
They should rename it to Enyimba

. Enyimba still remains the most successful club side in Nigeria, just browse the most successful club side in Nigeria and see for yourself, thank you.

He should stay and rebuild it. That's is greatness and heroism

The Cameroon weed Eto smoke is too much on him, he should take it easy!

First, he called Messi his son, like for reals?

As if that wasn't enough, he said best player of all time, he should shut the bleep up. Messi is a great player without a doubt but not the best ever. Time and time again Messi has shown that he equally need some other great player to shine reason he needed Neyma badly. So he should cut the crap.

If D'Maria, had played the WC final against Germany, I believe it would have been a different story entirely.

When condition don critical, Messi no dey fit give that extra touch to take his team or country across d finish line.

Eto'o said Messi is like a son to him. Pls check again. Am sure he said that because Messi was much younger while he was there.

With regards Eto'os take on Messi, fact is most footballers speak like politicians especially when they are trying to support or defend their fellow footballers. U can't always take a footballers word as d real truth

nobody is indispensable except God.

YorubaLord:
He's being sarcastic and of course a real jab at the Club's management the way they pamper Messi like he's bigger than the club.

Ever before Messi, there was, there is and there'll always be a Barcelona!

you are very correct - it is sarcasm and only very few can catch it like you did - Messi and Pep where the major personalities who forced Ronaldinho and Eto out of the team in 2009 even when the duo still had a lot to offer

This is karma and he is about to leave after being humiliated by Bayern

yes it will be remembered FOREVER that Messi was in the team, he played and in fact the captain on the day Bayern almost spelt Barcelona with goals BARCELON 8 just one more goal it would have been Barcelona

Wheather MESSI leave or not...the name is already made>>> 8:2 football club

freedomeniola:

Like for Messi share for Ronaldo
The two Goat you've witnessed

we are winning the battle over your Ewure

So how old is Eto that's calling a 33 year old adult "son"? So Mourihno is right calling him an old man then.

no doubt, just telling them to adopt the name

He’s still the GOAT regardless, we love to see you play for many more years at Barca.

Change is always constant. Nothing except God last forever.

The Argentine maestro’s commitment at Camp Nou is reportedly in doubt after the Catalan giants’ woeful European exit

Former Barcelona and Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o has joked that the Catalans will have to change their name should Lionel Messi depart the club.

The 33-year-old La Masia graduate, who is the most prolific player in the Blaugrana’s history, played for a full 90 minutes as they lost 8-2 to Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last Friday.

It was Barca’s biggest European defeat in history and their heaviest loss since 1946. It was also the first time since the 2005-06 season that neither Messi nor Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo made it to the semi-finals.

This has fuelled speculation on Messi’s future at the club, with a year left to run on his contract, and he has been linked with a possible move to Manchester City to be with his former coach in Pep Guardiola or his Argentine hometown club Newell’s Old Boys, where he featured as a youth player.

“I love Messi like he was my own son, I want the best for him. Barcelona is Messi and I think if Messi decides to leave, we’ll have to change the name of the club,” Eto’o told Argentine TV channel TyCSports.

“We are lucky in that at Barcelona, we have the best player in the world and of all-time, we have to do everything possible to ensure he finishes his career at Barcelona.”

Interesting pic there....

Tio means "uncle" in Spanish.

Was Messi referring to Eto'o as "Uncle"?

brainhgeek:
Messi is the football in Barcelona FC. If Messi leaves, you are taking football out of Barca, what is left is Barcelona NC (night club).
