Shame on Pep with all his money and resources - defense is his weakness.

Pep is the MOST overrated coach period!

eni4real:
The team is not stacked with talent like the 98 and the 2002 set!!

I know what 'stacked' means in Argentina context!! The present team is not close at all!!

Xavi and Iniesta had Villa who scored 5 out of the 7 goals scorer by Spain in 2010 World cup!

Who do Messi have??

Messi(The Playmaker) has Messi(The Striker)

He is ALONE in that Argentina Squad!

Dybala is a sub.. Don't even mention him!

You are in denial again because you are fearful of Messi screwing up!
Do not be! There have the most stacked team in South America next to Brazil but I think Messi can beat Brazil.
ARG is hosting this tournament - so no more excuses!

Pep G is the most overrated coach ...
won ZERO Champions League trophies with Bayern
won ZERO Champions League trophies with Man C

Raheem Sterling = Yakubu Ayegbeni

Useless Man C ....

eni4real:
You win

Don't worry - I think Messi will finally win his Copa next year. ARG is hosting and they are STACKED with talent. No excuses, he should also not try to do much.

Finally!! 1-1

I expect a thunderstorm this second half but kudos to Lyon. Thdy have plahed a good game so far.

Bros our EPL have the reputation of chokers in Europe, Man C is our ONLY hope

eni4real:
Argentina didn't do anything in 94, 98 and 2002 World cup!!

They got eliminated in the group stage and ROind of 16.. All that changed after Messi's debut!!

Since he took the Leadership, he is the first Captain to move Argentina to number 1 on the FIFA ranking..

Gotze extra time goal is not a humiliation!!

He was simply lucky!!

Nigeria and USA have also all ranked high in FIFA rankings, please forget that nonsense
The real test is when you win a trophy. The Messi in ARG during important trophy clinching games is the same Messi you saw against Bayern - he scored 00000000 goals

Pep is once again faltering on the big stage at Champions League. He did the same at Bayern.

TheGoodJoe:
Manchester city taking over tactically. Expect a tilt in the second half.

As EPL representatives you guys should please put in a better performance in the second half.

eni4real:
If I were you I will worry less about the Ballon d'or GOAT!!

Rebuild the team from the Defence and make sure the latter part of the GOAT career is smooth sailing!!
He has given so much for the Club... The last of his kind in Europe Top 5 League!!!

He deserves that!! He put Barcelona and Argentina on the map consistently since 2005!!!

Nobody has ever been so loyal and excellent!!!

He did NOT put Argentina on the map - he did NOT win anything for Argentina senior national team
Only Messi fan girls talk about individual awards - it means NOTHING to ARG!
He has done well with Barca when Xavi & Iniesta were around. I hope Barca can help him again because his leadership is not at the top level. He cannot do well when the game stress is very high.

OK Mr Pep G ... you are considered a "Barca legendary manager", so let us see your goods! You are down 1-0.

eni4real:
How come he won most MOTM in those World cup games??

Hold on, why is everyone focusing on Messi rather than facing Barcelona Defence!!

The defence ship in 8 whooping goals..

I will rather act like Klopp, get 2 World class Defender and kick Pique to the shadow..

Rather than worrying myself on the Ballon d'or GOAT!!

MOM is a subjective award ... he can NEVER win the international trophy that is EARNED by beating the other team. He has screwed up so many times. Now he is started screwing up for Barca. Tell me of any GOAT player that has chopped 8 goals
Ballon D’ Donkey

eni4real:
Higuain scored 1

Di Maria scored 1,

Messi assisted 1

But he is the one that took them out of the group stage and assisted Di Maria in the Round of 16!!

The more talented if group of 98 got eliminated in the Round of 16!

The more Talented group of 2002 got eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup..

Since Messi's Leadership such elimination didn't happen despite having a Fraud Coach in 2010 and was a bit unlucky in 2014!

Well, until the 2018 group which is a poor team with starting from Caballero to an emotionally labile Coach!!

In Messi era, Argentina climbed number one on the FIFA ranking, something they never had for the last 2 decades!!

If world cup is cheap all great players in history would have won it!!

And Higuain?? He is a joke of a striker?? How many Golden boot has he won for Argentina again?? Is he not the Number 9 fo the team??

He should score.. Nobody should praise Higuain for scoring just 1 goal in a whole 2014 Tournament

Even Khedira had 2goals in the same Tournament, Schurlle 3goals!!

Messi scored ZERO goals in the World Cup knockout
The same way Messi scored ZERO goals in any Copa finals
The same way Messi scored ZERO goals in yesterday’s 8-2 lashing that he received

Things we do for love

Your siggy is forking hilarious. So møds we’re deleting it before??

anonymous1759:
Bruv it's not hyping they Earned it you know when it comes to Hyping EPL is no 1 . English players are overrated compared to Spanish players and the rest both when they come to the pitch we know who's better .
But for now England have some good young players who have earned it. Likes of sterling,Sancho,Kane ,Alli ,Rashford.

Good points ...

Brute21:
Coutinho Coutinho Coutinho. Barca was already down when he scored and assisted the goals. Doesn't change a thing that he flopped at Barça.

Salty salty salty ... does not change the fact that Messi/Barca flopped yesterday

Moikiitos:
A real G.O.A.T will not allow his team to fall that bad with many goals put in against them without narrowing down or inspire his team to close the gap, no matter how it sucks. That is the difference of CR7 or any other little g.o.a.t out there.

Exactly, a GOAT inspires, a GOAT leads and if all fails, a GOAT consoles instead of isolating ...

Messi's wife: “Honey You want me to cook dinner, are you hungry?”
Messi: “No thanks honey, I 8-2 much today ..."

dangermouse:
U cant win it all. Dust urself, retrospect, restrategise, and bounce back stronger. Ur still one of the GOAT. No one can take it away from u.

He had a bad game himself yesterday. He should have been a leader and been with the team after the 8-2 lashing. This is the way he loses for Argentina senior national team and so they have never won a trophy with him.

ServanTheG:
I am a fan of Messi but that doesn't mean I don't know when he plays poorly like last night. He failed to live up to the occasion last night as much as the team failed

ServanTheG:
I am a fan of Messi but the truth is that he failed to perform last night,and the whole club failed last night also. It's that simple. Only one FCB showed up last night

Eni4Real ... come and see what a REAL Barca/Messi fan is. Servan The G is the type of fan you can respect .
He gives respect/praise when Messi performs well (which Messi often does) and also criticizes Messi's poor performances when it happens during big games.
Eni4Real, learn from Servan The G

eni4real:
Cruyff and Puskas played in a better , more complete team.

They both played in a World cup final each, but could not win despite being the best player of the respective World cups!!

Messi played in more Finals . I don't see that as a privilege. It is hardwork to get there.. Unfortunately, they lost!!

Buruchaga scored for Maradona in 86 final
Why can't Higuain do the same despite having more chances to do so!!
It's ill-luck!!

Messi did not score a SINGLE goal in the knockout stages of the 2014 WC. It was Higuain/DiMaria that scored
Messi was directly responsible for goal # 7 yesterday ... he even gave up after he was easily/shamelessly dispossessed of the ball.
No wonder Maradona said that Messi goes to the toilet 10 times before we big game ... we saw that yesterday

eni4real:
Cruyff didn't win anything with Netherlands!! Puskas won Nothing with Hungary

These are greatest Legends of all time!!

Messi should not be blamed for Argentina Trophy drought.

Before him Argentina was even worse!!!

The last time Argetina was doing great was probably in the 93/94!!

Messi lifted them again to be at the top of FIFA ranking, but only good teammates can deliver certain Trophies!!
Higuain is not Bastituta!! He failed to capitalize on chances in like 3 finals.. That is the duty of the number 9. That is what a finisher do!!

That is what Buruchaga did for Maradona in 86 final!

None of them were presented with the opportunities Messi had. Messi played in two Copa finals against Chile and screwed up.
In the 2014 World Cup, Messi did NOT score a single goal in the knockout round ... not even 1/2 a goal!
It was Higuain and DiMaria who scored the only goals in the knockout games the won. Messi, with all the opportunities he had in the final, screwed up again!
Cruyff and Puskas NEVER chopped 8 goals like Messi did in a crucial game. I thought chopping 4 goals at Anfield was a disgrace and then Messi doubled that a year later ...

ServanTheG:
What happened tonight is what is likely to happen when a player,no matter how GOAT he is,has "mafia like" powers at a club where he is an employee

Na “the mafia” make Messi kick the ball softly like a small girl today?
The same mafia have organized a Barca team with the highest payroll in the world yet all you Messi fans refused to accept that your goat screwed up!

eni4real:
That is my comment from July..

It is not a follow-up to tonight match!!

Wait, where are all these energy when Messi tried to perform well against Napoli??

What I see about the club is foresight...
What happened today can't explain it.. It only perfect it!!

All Barcelona Authority can't give excuse for this destruction this time around!!

The team must he overhauled starting from the Defence!!

Messi won't get criticized like Crisitiano, never!!

He has been the lifter of this club since the club was just a 1or 2 UCL winner .

Save your criticism for a day when the whole blame should be on the attack... Today, Pique led defence shows us that Origi was not a fluke!!

You simply do not have the guts to criticize Messi.
Even the great ones should be criticized. Messi has failed to deliver a trophy for Argentina and of late, cannot deliver a UCL trophy for Barca ...

There is a massive flaw in your post:
“Leo is Leo but he won't change anything“
Leo was NOT Leo in this game.
You have absolved Messi of all blame whereas he did ZERO today. It was inexcusable and you have a challenge holding your hero accountable.
He’s still the goat but the goat has some issues which surface when the going gets rough (ARG senior national team).

eni4real:
Even Pele would be disgraced if he belong to the 2014 Brazil set that conceded 7 goals in Maracana!!!

There is no answer to a bad defence that meet a potent attack!!

Pique is too overlooked . He should be blamed by you for conceding 8 goals following his previous bad defending against Roma and Liverpool!!!

Bros .. when you have finished drinking your beer you will come to terms that Messi scored ZERO goals today

ojaysam25:
OK o...glad to see you're beginning to get to the terms that they can only be one Goat and he is not a dwarf

If you read his write up you will see he does not even blame Messi ... whereas Messi did nothing in this game!

OkikiOluwa1:
Where's Slawømir & eni4reál?
Those two rats can rant about messi

The rats are in the sewer now ... do you blame them? 8 goals??
