Asked about being linked as one of the strongest cadidates to win the Balon D'Or , the Barcelona Winger has said that he prefers titles with the team than individual ones.

"It is great praise and gives me pride," he said, "But I would swap it for a title with Barcelona or Argentina, of that I have no doubt."

I just pray he doesn`t get injured like in previous years.

Messi 'caught' spitting at Malaga player

Madrid sports tabloid Marca reports that Barcelona player Lionel Messi (21) was supposedly caught by television cameras on Saturday spitting at Malaga player Dudu without any apparent provocation by the Portuguese left winger.

He was clearly spitting on the ground, how can he spitting at DUda when he was slightly behind him at the time, watch the video carefully guys .. Stupid Marca

[Bojan]

Looks like he was aiming though

[barSELOna]

His spit looks like small waterfall

[Bojan]

No Messi, no play. Its easy to take it for granted, but Im so thankful we have him.

[M.L. King]

Yeah, he is the gem of our squad. He is the player that makes the difference. His skills to turn the game upside down are immense. Can't image what would we do without him.

[Bojan]

He really gave me a scare tonight. For the moment he looked like he couldn`t play on

Ya me too ! I thought something happened to his thigh again like last season, then I saw the replay and it showed that defender stepped on his foot.

He did'nt get any goals but I'm sure we would'nt have had 6 goals if it were'nt for him.

[M.L. King]

He was incredible once more, he made a few great passes. Can't image how we'd cope without him.

[Bardh]

Ahh. The best player in the world. Does this guy run with nuclear energy or what? So powerful, fast, quick with the moves, visionary. A complete player. He's pretty much the Ronaldinho of 2006 but with more efficiency and less tricks & flicks.

[Bojan]

I just cannot forget how unlucky we were with his injuries in previous years. We need him fit for entire season as I don`t see who can fit in his shoes
