10 - Lionel Messi - v5

[Ripsta]

The balls on that penalty, same Vs Valencia. Holy shit.

He will not leave. Poor game by his standards, but at this point....I don't even care.
My eyes are on next season already.

 

[Luftstalag14]

I think is the infamous February dip in form for him, he will be back. The team play is what is really the problem.

 

[KiX7777]

Expect more poor games from him, it is not his fault. Tactics don't suite him at all.

 

[evilhita666]

I think he's pissed at the whole situation and being in poor form doesn't make it any easier... He's aware the win was undeserved and that sooner or later our La Liga chase will be over...

Messi wont leave, like all of our legends who have stuck through the bad times, so will Leo. But he looks absolutely finished with this season and with Lucho.

Getting Sampaoli and renewing Messi would be a great uplift for the club and fans in the summer. Something good to look forward to.

 

[Horatio]

Ofcourse Messi won't leave. He knows that underwhelming periods are part of the game.

 

[Mitchell1978]

Clearly frustrated with the stat of affairs but dicisive as (almost) always.

 

[Raketa10]

We need to renew him ASAP and hire a new manager in the summer. I am affraid if this circus continues he might leave. I hope I am just being paranoid.

 

[Total-Football]

Not as bad as vs PSG, but it's hard to drop lower than that. Credit for the cold nerves while taking the penalty.

 

[Total-Football]

Ofcourse Messi won't leave. He knows that underwhelming periods are part of the game.

except that those periods occur almsot every season (2013-2017) minus 2015.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

Do you guys really believe this shit?

There has to be some truth to it. And I'm 100% behind Leo on this.

 

[Aryagorn]

Not that I doubt Leo's loyalty to the club but he is not exactly a dumb ass to leave now, when the things are not very bright anymore...... coz if he does, he would be tarnishing his legacy for good this time. There would not be a looking back, there would not be even a slightest chance left to shut the stupid stupid mouths who say that all of Leo's glory was the result of Xaviesta's greatness.

No, not only is he not a dumb-ass (aside from a pre-mature retirement announcement from Argentina in the spur of the moment of course) but he also truly loves the club to do some thing like that. I do not need any other proof of his love towards the club after his gesture, to not celebrate the penalty against Leganes

Guys if you look at the overall season, he's on 34 goals from 34 games which is fantastic, CR7 is on 21 goals, so it's not all doom and gloom for Messi's personal stats, obviously the trophy department this season may only be the Copa del rey which is dissapointing for Barca.
