Club World Cup

Another way to look at it:

Anti-Barca, seething troll makes a meal out of a PSG v MLS team game with 50 posts in the last 2 hours.

So, according to you,
- having watched a player in 6 or 7 crucial European games the whole season,
- having watched around 8-10 highlights of him from domestic games,
- having read his stats, and some analyses on him

means 'talking out of your ass'....

Yep exactly

Talking out your ass, because you're probably lying about the CL games you saw him in.

Infact I'm 100% you're lying based on your XG analysis of the CL final and you came to the grand conclusion that their is no way PSG should win the way they did.

While someone like me who actually watched PSG this season, called the win before a ball was kicked.

You are a XG and highlights merchant.

Knowing that makes everything make sense.

6/7 important games by ass, maybe 4 and that's pushing it.

Nowhere did I write that this Inter Miami side should have been competitive against this PSG.
NOWHERE

My perspective is simple: I haven't seen Messi against Europe's elite for more than 2 years.
That was an occasion to see that. To see how he performs against such players and teams.
Simple point, nothing else

and I'm telling you 18/19 Messi wouldn't have done much at all in this Inter Miami side.

Current Messi wouldn't have looked out of place in the 18/19 Barca team.

18/19 Messi and Current Messi basically share the same strengths and weaknesses

Il Professore watch through twitter and some random analysis there.

And think it is cool.

PSG could have scored 10+ goals if they didn't shut it down i the second half.

That said, Inter Miami is a marketing ploy more than a serious football team, so it is to be expected.

Kvaratskhelia is a freaking driller dawg. Nico will be an excellent signing but Kvara would have been next level. No way this cat is Georgian. Technical ability of a vintage Brailizan footballer with the directness of a vintage German footballer.

Sheesh.

Let Nico get the Flick treatment and see what happens to him. He's scored in big games before...like the Euro final.

In 22:00 is real football, Mengao - Bayern

CL final is not indicative because Inter were a caricature of themselves.
That is not an opinion, it's a fact admitted by any professional in the business.
It's also not an accident that the odds between them were super close before the kick-off.

All of you with the supposedly 'inside' knowledge that PSG were so much better before the final look more like clowns, rather than the sage you think you look...

CL final is irrelevant to the whole discussion THO
I had watched my fair share of PSG games in CL both this and last season:
24/25: PSG- Inter, PSG-Arsenal (x2), PSG-Villa (x2), PSG-Pool (x2), PSG-City (league), Bayern-PSG (League), Arsenal-PSG (league),
23/24: PSG - BvB (x2), PSG-Barca (x2), BvB-PSG (group), PSG-Milan (x2) (Group), PSG-Newcastle (x2) (Group)

That's 19 games of PSG in CL the last two seasons, roughly 1,710 minutes of football excluding extra-time and penalties.

If you think that after 19 European games (1700 minutes) against top sides, someone cannot form an opinion about a team and a player, then you are totally clueless about football

"Current Messi wouldn't have looked out of place in the 18/19 Barca team"?

Ok, watch his highlights from that CL again, and come back to tell me current Messi could do the same

It's not even close.

PS: It might be the same strengths and weaknesses as far as the kind we are talking about (for example, strength: through ball, weakness: defending), but his strengths have lost their bite, and his weaknesses have become even more blatant.
It's basically the same with anyone getting old. Doesn't happen only to Messi

Sheesh.

Think if Nico improves his passing and scoring, he will be leagues ahead of Kvara.
Kvara is a complete package, but that's his ceiling.
Nico ceiling is much higher.

 

[Horatio]

Not sure about it. Could be Luis Enrique tells squad to slow it down.

@MonteCuler called it

Nico ceiling is much higher.

kvara is pretty agile. I am not sure if Nico will ever be that good in smaller spaces. Nico has higher center of gravity. long legs.

" Inter Miami are on the same level with Barca"

Lmao clown.

kvara is pretty agile. I am not sure if Nico will ever be that good in smaller spaces. Nico has higher center of gravity. long legs.

He is the 2nd highest dribbler in LaLiga behind Yamal. I think he will be fine.
Splitting hairs, maybe.
