Given that he is semi-retired now, here is my ranking of all his seasons as a professional footballer: 19) 2004/05 Barely counts 18) 2021/22 Horrible from start to finish, only saving grace is the Finalissima at the end of the season 17) 2005/06 First real season and first WC 16) 2019/20...

People talking about Leo further declining and thus being unable to compete in Copa 2024...He is already 36 ffs, he will be 37 next year and he won Copa+Finallissima+WC in a span of 2 years, who gives a damn about Copa? :lol: Would be great seeing him with the Blaugrana for 1-2 more years and...

One can't help to feel bitter, but taking the nostalgia away, this was probably the best for both sides

Great career without any doubt, one of the best strikers of his generation

It will be crazy if he does not come only because we cannot register him.

If he goes to Saudi then I think many people (including myself) will lose almost all their respect for him. He is already a BILLIONAIRE. And he is among the top 3-5 most famous athletes alive (along with MJ, CR7, LBJ, Federer etc). He will be earning millions from endorsements and...

Congrats to Xavi and the team, a La Liga is always a great achievement, especially after a 4-year drought

Would be miserable if he went to Saudi Arabia

Another interesting fact: Since 2007, the Ballon D‘Or went to the CL top scorer 14 out of 16 times (if we count Lewa in 2020).

You may say whatever you want about his character or the choice of the clubs he manages or his decision to leave us after only 4 years, but the fact is that he is about to win his 5th PL in 7 years. Not even SAF achieved this, let alone Wenger, Mourinho etc.

Yeah but Leo already received individual honours, largely based on the WC. The WC golden ball ofc, the FIFA Best award, the IFFHS Playmaker of the year etc. Despite being really bad in the 2021/22 CL KO. If you even look how the WC influenced the Ballon D'Or voting the past years, you see that...

It shouldn't be though...Messi had a great WC tournament, but a tournament of 7 games nonetheless. You can't base the award of the most prestigious individual honour on 7 games. Especially because for better or worse, the WC took place almost a year before the ceremony. Yeah it was dumb that the...

If they win PL+CL, he should win the Ballon d'or. Messi got his flowers, he hasn't been consistently good enough to receive the 8th.

Is it happening?

There is no doubt that big clubs often receive favourable calls. But if there was a deliberate and estimated plan to help specific clubs to get back on their feet and win titles, then why leave these clubs rot for years and years in the first place? Man Utd has been shite for a decade at this...

IF it is true that both parties are indeed interested in a reunion, my theory is this: Laporta and co. have no money to make a high profile signing like Ronaldinho, Neymar or Suarez. We would only dream of signing Haaland or Mbappe, even any top 20 player for that matter, because the price is...

One penalty and 4 tap-ins, unbelievable :lol:

All football legends were done at club level at their early 30s, Messi has managed to keep a high level for a little longer. He proved that he can be decisive for short periods of time, even now, by winning the WC. But what the fuck have other legends done at this age? Pele was close to...

What’s even the point of shitting on Messi? We get it, he’s almost fucking 36 year old, no one is calling him the greatest right now, everyone knows that he cannot lead a team to CL aged 36, unless there is a really competent team around him that can maximize his ability and hide his...

People forget how good Leo was in 2009/10...People were already starting putting him in the GOAT conversation. As others said, 47 goals in a season was pretty unheard of at the time, had not happened in over a decade. Furthermore, the quality of these goals was pretty insane, many of them were...
