that would have likely resulted in a tap in for Esp.
He should have cleared ball like many players with inferior skills instead of dribbling it out with a low stamina.
first yellow was a strategic team play yellow.
the second yellow was from over confidence in his dribbling ability at the end of the game when low on stamina.
at least he was trying unlike the park walkers.
Messi had way more turn overs.
What happens when Messi could not spoon feed him his usual tap ins.
Still should not underestimate the intangibles such as the strategic dives, simulations and the companionship and emotional support for Messi.
Look beyond his knees, ankles, baggages, threats of law suits.
Just look at his stats accomplished in the past during his prime.
It's a no brainer to pay off PSG the Neymar ransom.
