You said that about Messi. Did he change when moved away from Barca?

Bonus point, free of charge: if there's one player Pochettino's having problems with, it's :tata: Messi :tata:

Messi doesn't know anything other than football. Maybe a BBQ get together at Suarez's house and the odd party at clubs in Ibiza when in vacation.

Maybe Neymar had special privileges and took advantage of them with his injuries and lifestyle.

Otherwise football has changed and don't think there is a big club where players act like Ronaldinho or John Terry did. Going partying before trainings and such.

Pochettino was dumb to take Messi off the way he did. If he'll not learn, he'll get sacked.

Don't think there is anything there. Messi was frustrated to be subbed of. At 34 years aold and not fully fit. If Ronaldo did that, most hating Messi in here would say stuff like "elite determination, winning spirit" etc.. classic confirmation bias. Whatever Messi does, some will love and so will hate.

How is it possible to believe that Poch did the wrong thing in subbing Messi?

He was injuried, as was later proven, the injury could have gotten worse if he didnt sub him, not to mention they won the game after.

maybe miscommunication between the two? as in before the game, agreeing to something if messi feels discomfort. or what was discussed in-game or at HT.

messi clearly looked surprised. don't think he would have gotten that mad if they would have planned his exit.

Messi decides when he's subbed off

On this day two years ago, Messi (and Megan Rapinoe) won FIFA best player of the year. Lets hope for another in a few months.
