Messi had prime Alves on the wing. I've yet to see two players dismantle an entire team with give and go, 1 to 2 passing from near the half way line in the way they did it.Yes I know, it's really sad how bad this team is in technical terms. Only Pedri and Yamal are capable of playing like that (and Pedri is usually too far from Yamal to do it) while Messi was surrounded with almost an entire team that was flawless technically. We went from the most technical team in history to Koundes, Lewas and Rashfords who can't control the ball, let alone play a one two with Yamal.

The more years that pass and the more football i watch, the more i realize just how great those guys were. Xavi, Iniesta, Alves, Villa, Puyi, Messi.. etc I see all these high praises for Pedri, even Lamine Yamal, and yes they are fantastic, but often i take a moment to look back and i ask myself " How do they compare to so and so" No comparison.
Those guys were absolutely goated. With every passing year, with every player that puts on this shirt, every squad that we assemble, that absence is felt more and that unique greatness further appreciate. Those type of players don't come around often. Let alone at the same time.
Didn't understand the whistles either. Thing he did nothing to deserve it. Maybe we couldnt see something on the camera?
Either way, he looked a bit more lively. An improvement.

Anything is possible.We truly have been blessed.
So you say we cant do better than the 2009-2015 era ?
Puyol is overrated.
Luis De la Fuente: “Watching the game the other day, Lamine is ready to play”
Full 180 minutes loading, at this point he doesn't give a shite if Lamine gets injured again with no international games until March.
