Another wailer spotted....add to NL's messi's wailer of the year Eni4real Una well done.

When you don't have any reasonable response, you resort to name-calling. Can you counter any of the points I raised in a logical fashion? I doubt, because the last time I checked, it's you CR7 guys that have been wailing about Messi since Friday.

Note that no matter how fast the buttocks runs, the p*enis will always be ahead of it at the fore-front.

No matter how many 3-0s, 4-0s or 8-2s Messi experiences, He will always be globally recognized as the greater footballer than CR7. No amount of your illogical narratives will overwrite that.

I am at peace.

For CR7 fans masturbating over Messi's potential exit.

You can continue braying endlessly for as long as you want, but note that Lionel Messi has absolutely NOTHING to prove to you or anyone again whether he leaves or stays. He has won everything there is to win in club football multiple times while being the chief protagonist in almost all of those successes.

Get this, as far back as 2011 after the champions league final against Man Utd, he was already widely touted as the Greatest Player of All Time by the football media and journalists. Your CR7 did not even come into the equation until just a few years ago. Everything he has achieved subsequently, only serves to consolidate his initial successes and standing as the GOAT.

Messi might have lost a game 8-2, but CR7 did not even smell the opportunity to lose 8-2 just like Oxlade Chamberlain. How the lack of such opportunity suddenly makes him better than the one who excelled where he failed, beggars belief and sound reasoning.

You guys simply do not know what you want. Messi stays, he gets criticized, He leaves, it's a problem for you guys.

6 will always be greater than 5.

Life hacks:

1. Leave the stage when the ovation is high and loudest.
2. Don't stay in your comfort zone when you start smashing records.
3. ALWAYS confront your failures head-on as it is the best way to learn.

Yours truly did none of these. He left the Argentinian team twice after some huge losses, has done the same for Barcelona, failed to leave when he was at the center stage, and he failed to leave his comfort zone, believing life starts and end there.

Messi is incredible but please add some special, special respekk on the "Ronaldo" name. All round, Ronaldo trumps Messi and even in their dying phase, Ronaldo is 100x lethal and fierce than Messi.

Ronaldo, even now, embodies leadership, passion, lust for winning and fame, results and dependability, attributes that any great should have. But guess who gave up in the first of the 2-8 disaster?

Oga, the fact that you are an opponent of Messi doesn't deny you of the ability to think well nau. Haba!

So all these years since 2017 when Messi stayed back after the Juve-debacle, Roma-disaster, Anfield-collapse don't count for his perseverance abi?
Do all those not qualify as disasters and did he not stay after each result in the next season?

Your CR7 also had a failed UCL campaign this season, no amount of catastrophic result Messi has experienced can change that. And I wonder why you have chosen to be so ignorant of this fact.

Heavance:
Don't bring Milan into this o.
Has Milan been beaten 2-8 by anybody even with the nonsense squad?
Barca is now a lone ranger in this, 11 vs 11, no red card, no penalty.. This will go down in history forever.

I am a Barca fan, but I agree with you on this. Shey you know that misery loves company but no hiding place for Barca over the last result.

Hopefully, this will be a catalyst for Barca's resurgence.

Nice points. I so much miss the gym because of this Covid 19. My gym is yet to open since April.

The road to recovery is steep o

honestlyman:
truth is better but is the truth if messi have left Barcelona he won't have received this disgrace imagine 8 2 no now is too much even you nor go fit bit Hull City like this

What kind of idiotic reasoning is this? Oga, if Messi was not there against Bayern, wouldn't the same Barca still have lost scandalously to Bayern? How does that make Messi Barca's problem?

You said that Messi would not have received the disgrace if he had left Barcelona. Okay o, if you didn't know, what you are actually implying by this statement is that Barca is Messi's problem and not vice versa.

Barca's problem is that most of their players are old and cannot mark energetically anymore. That's why they got walloped.

costandi:
A whole lot bro. None of them has a Grammy on their personal shelf.

Really? What about Sade Adu?

DrayZee:
If you’re feeling sorry for Messi due to his own lack of performance, imagine what others feel for Ronaldo who got insulted for days on end just because he scored 2 instead of 3 goals.
Man performed and was getting insulted. It goes to show how people really feel about these guys.
When Ronaldo plays, everyone, both fans and haters know he will perform. Haters will insult him for scoring 2 instead of 3 goals, or for scoring inside the box, or for scoring a penalty, or for assisting but not scoring.
But for Messi, even his own fans weren’t surprised that he didn’t perform yesterday Even the widely hyped dribbles, nothing came out.

I acknowledge you have the right to troll Messi o. But abeg Lyon is very very very far from this current Bayern Munich team. Lyon and Napoli are closer in level. Let that sink in.

CR7 people have started their trademark fake quotes just to spite Messi.

It's understandable to troll your rivals. But when you start to include outright lies, then that's no longer trolling. That's acute inferiority complex.

caprini1:
Asin since last night.....as a Real Madrid fan i am even feeling very sorry for them.

Thanks for the solidarity gesture. It was even the 2-0 match that Madrid won over Barca that made me know that such a day like this was going to come for Barca this season. The way in which Madrid easily ran over Barca in the second half made me see that any decent aggressive team would cause havoc to my team.

Maobichek:
So pique isn't a competent defender? Barca is an attacking team and not a defensive team, you are just painting it as if Barca should be defending and not attacking which is their tradition. If you are a genuine Barca fan, you will know that Barca always dominates whether they play home or away. Please don't turn Barca into a defensive team because they are not and you know it. Barca's attackers were they problem because they didn't live upto expectations, thank you.

Pique is NO LONGER a competent defender. He may have one or two matches where he delivers, but often too much, it's a tale of sluggish catastrophic defending. He gets brushed past too easily.

That Barca is more of an attacking unit doesn't mean they cannot have decent defenders. Man City, Bayern and PSG are cases in point. How can you say Barca's attackers are the problem, then you do not really understand the team. If the defence and midfield were strong and energetic, then the attackers would flourish as they'd be more around the opponent's 18 yard box where they can do damage than being in their own half for most of the time.

The old BARCA ship has sailed, if you haven't noticed.

eni4real:
He loves a well organized team!!

That is good for him.

Now, that is what I call a revenge!!

At least he was kind enough not to rub it in after he scored, unlike that player on loan that sent his parent team to relegation by scoring a last minute goal against them and his former team mates were running to beat him up as he celebrated the goal.

Coutinho won me over with his gracious gesture. Funny enough, I had envisaged this kind of revenge scenario at the beginning of the season when we loaned him to Bayern. It came to pass!

eni4real:
This is a Cristiano Forum
Get used to it!!

But seriously, Barcelona destruction is newsworthy!!! Just that critics are not blaming the Defence and the management to my satisfaction!!

I understand bro. It's even better here on Nairaland. On Twitter, Barca and Messi particularly are being roasted mercilessly.

That Barca team lacks hungry players and competent defenders. See how Semedo caused at least three of the eight goals yesterday.

Oh Boy. Barca just dey hear am continuously for frontpage today. Barca fans let's continue to brace up, we die here o

No it's not in general. But it may be the end at Barcelona. He may want to switch to a new club to refresh himself.

The fiasco yesterday was clearly not about Messi. It was about a failed Barca system. If you had put Zidane, CR7, Ronaldinho or Van Basten in that Barca team yesterday, the 8-goal score-line would still have been a constant, and the humiliation assured. Afterall, Suarez scored a fine goal against Bayern, yet he cannot escape being part of the catastrophy.

The end cannot be based on a single game, afterall, Messi was still a beast as at last week.

Barca's collapse yesterday was a systemic one that had been long-coming. The real problem was about the way Barca played which got them exposed against a rampaging Bayern Munich side. BARCA play without PACE and ENERGY while just relying on technical ability. It is therefore no surprise that an energetic, precise team is able to shred their lethargic defence apart with ease yet and yet again. Yes, maybe Messi might have hustled a bit more to score one goal, but there was absolutely nothing he could have done to minimize the humiliation with the lethargic way the team was set-up.

Barca need to bring in ATHLETIC and technically gifted players to rebuild the team. And that entire defence needs to be overhauled as they defend like school boys. The team lacks intensity and any opponent that does a bit of strong pressing (Liverpool, Man city, Madridi) will take this current barca team to the cleaners, Messi notwithstanding.

This match has just shown that a working team system beats individual prowess. Coutinho that has not been particularly brilliant even at Bayern was able to score 2 goals and had 1 assist. This shows that it was more about the team set-up than the individual players. Kudos to the Bayern coach. A working system makes an average player look good e.g Wijnaldum, Henderson, while an ineffective set-up can make a very good player look bad e.g Frenkie De Jong, Ter Stegen today.

Maobichek:
. My attention was drawn when you said "save your criticism for a day when the whole blame "SHOULD"" be on the attaack..." Bayern attackers were busy scoring and Barca's attackers were just spectators, Suarez even played better than Messi, Messi could not score even a single goal and you will say that Bontang is a world-class defender? I'm not a Juve fan but Ronaldo scored against Lyon and Ronaldo has 5 champions league trophy while Messi has 4. The problem is that Barca fans believe that Messi is bigger than the entire Barca team, the secret of Messi is Iniesta and Xavier but they are gone and Countinho who could not play exactly like Iniesta in Barca was cheesed away and he today humiliated Barca with 2 goals. Go on and blame Barca defense while absolving Barca attack from blame.

Came across this post

14 years later, Messi turns the god of the football field...

Funnily, the original poster appeared to have foreseen Messi's future dominance. This kind of post puts recent football history into perspective. See them all talking about Zidane, Cannavaro, Dinho, Henry, Rooney, with little inkling of the storm called Messi about to come and take over the football landscape.

So who is gonna be the Messi of ten - fifteen years from now. Is it Mbappe, Pulisic, Ansu Fati, Rashford or Serge Gnabry? or even someone that is yet to appear on the popular football scene?

Beverlyjean:
Ur analogy is flawed...owning a Bugatti doesn't mean u can afford a Ferrari

I will be kind to you in reply. My Bugatti is way more valuable than a Ferrari, so even if I do not have enough cash, I can always liquidate the Bugatti if the Ferrari is so important for me to acquire. If I could maintain a Veyron, surely a Ferrari would not be an issue for me.

So, I can definitely afford the Ferrari, but I don't WANT the Ferrari because I already have a Bugatti. That's my point.

Techiekingee:
U people shud just shut up....!!

The champions League final Man U played in 2011, was Ronaldo part of the Man U team?? ....

Since Ronaldo left Madrid, has he passed quarter final??....


Y'all shud just shut it

Lol, Are you just discovering about their insatiable penchant for lying?

The whole CR7 fandom hype is mainly based on LIES.

They are the ones that will lie about how CR7 has the highest no of dribbles in a match
They are the ones that will lie about his number of assists in a match
They will keep cooking up fake quotes about what Simeone and Balotelli didn't say about Messi just to discredit him.

They don't know that the more they keep lying, the more they are making it glaring that Messi is superior to CR7.

Messi fans do not need to lie about his achievements on the field of play. They speak for themselves, that's why 6 will always be greater than 5.

[quote author=sleeknaija post=92782888][/quote]Thanks jare. Imagine me owning a Bugatti Veyron, you tell me you want to sell me a Ferrari, and I tell you that sorry I don't need your Ferrari cos I have a Bugatti. Then the next stupid thing to say now is that I can't afford the Ferrari? How silly that is.

I am ready.
We all should.
This is the least we can do for our country before this barbarians take us back to Stone age.

It will require Nigeria Info's acceptance of the donation beforehand. Sadly, the station is unlikely to accept the funds so as not to be seen as encouraging mutiny against their regulator NBC and to avoid subsequent persecution by NBC.

This is really sad what this country is turning to.

Inception:
I dont have a twitter account, but because of this, i am setting one up right away.

how does one start off the Hashtag?

First, you can search on twitter if there's a similar hashtag already using key words such as Nigeria info, etc and follow such thread

If not, you can create a topic by putting the # in front of the topic and post on twitter or post in an existing twitter thread with many followers.

Inception:
how do we set up the account and notify Nigeria info? I am interested!

It'll be more of a twitter movement that can make it work. Has a wider reach. All it takes is to have a trending hashtag and GoFundMe account.

If 10,000 Nigerians contribute N500 each for Nigeria info to pay up the fine, this would send a message to the broadcasting authorities.

It's like u have a thing of not even understanding words or statements... typing words u dont understand still makes u an educated illiterate.... u dont know the meaning of the statement " surplus to requirement "

Well I dont blame u... school in Nigeria are bleeped.... u can only work in a bank as a teller or marketer or all these weak companies that think they are doing well .. u cant work in a reputable international firm cos mehn u are really dull with ur analysis... at least let google help ur life

You've been able to communicate nothing. Keep grasping at straws like a drowning man.

You don't even know me. I think that it's even visible based on the quality of our banters so far, that my comments exude much higher "literacy" and "education" than yours. Your thoughts are muddled up, and do not reflect the experience of passing through a high quality educational institution.

FYI, I work with a reputable multi-national organization. And while it is possible you may be gainfully employed, your comments do not justify that tag.

FuckThaMod:
You never upgrade your IQ finish na another person own you wan upgrade... God can't even help you anymore with the way you think. Go get a life and stop wailing over CR7. Whether you like it or not, his name will always come up whenever the GOAT in football is a topic. Your trash words about him will never matter and you'll forever remain inconsequential in football matters. Useless embittered fan

Ode I knew you were going to take the bait. Are you blind to the below: Take your loser tag and move on. Fraudulent CR7 fan. Always twisting facts on its head. Liar Liar. It's only your kind that will take lying as a measure of intelligence.

Beverlyjean:
Do u even understand the term surplus to requirement... I'm done here...I wasn't really certain of ur educational background but now I'm certain that u are an educated illiterate

Good riddance to an airhead. Masking ignorance under a cloak of pretended literacy.

No amount of your reference to education can cover up for your shortcoming in the thinking department.

Oya shoot another dumb comment.
