First assist is from another world. That pass has so much feeling, weight, speed and perfectly placed - its insane.

by Harmonica Sun Sep 21, 2014 10:28 pm

Most assists (6), most chances created (24), most throughballs (4) in Europe.

When Suarez gets on the field. hmm

I am not sure whether it is you who is making these as well, but this has come to my attention earlier today. A guy making .gifs for almost everything Messi does. I find it to be quite brilliant considering it is all available.

Sad to say the way things are going, CR will retain the Ballon D'or.... Messi dont look like doing enough to regain the award....

This incident was unfortunately, didnt think a player would be so disrespectful to Messiah, and I doubt he would provoke an opponent so much to induce such action, not a sign of things to come I hope.

My commentator in the Atleti game just said Pele reached that with 23 and Müller with 26. I guess Pelé's include goals against his grandchildren. Don't know about Gerd.

Majority of Pele's goals are at regional level, and that 26 for Gerd Müller includes lower levels as well, which would inlcude Messi's goals at B-team as well, in which case he already scored his 400th goal.

4 goals away from breaking the record of most in la liga...
3 la liga games from now is real madrid away..
would be very fitting to get his final goal there :wub:

also here's a random fact
-Messi needed 524 games to score 400 goals.
-hewhowontbenamed needed 653 games to score 400 goals.

Marcelino: "Ronaldo is better than Messi both with his feet and with his head. He is the more complete in the end - he has more resources because [he is good in] the air and hits the ball well with both feet."

Lo and behold, Messi scores a header and with his right foot the next day Laughing

Lionel Messi insists that he has no interest in competing with Cristiano Ronaldo for the title of the world's greatest player.

Having claimed the last six Ballon d'Or awards between them, the pair are regularly compared to one another, with their respective merits discussed at length by players, pundits and fans alike.

However, Messi insists that he has no interest in the perceived rivalry between the two, explaining that he is not driven by personal prizes - but club titles.

"Competing with Cristiano? I don't feel like competing with him or anyone else," he told reporters on Thursday. "It's not about individual awards; I want to help my team."

Messi's status as one of the finest players of all time has long been a subject of much debate, too, with some feeling that his failure to lead Argentina to World Cup glory this summer has undermined the argument that he ranks higher than Pele or Diego Maradona. Again, though, the 27-year-old is unconcerned by such matters.

"I don't think about my place in football history," Messi insisted. "I just want to keep getting better and win trophies with my team."

There was speculation last season that Messi was unhappy at Barcelona, who have not won the Champions League since 2011.

However, the forward insists that he did not think twice about signing a new contract with the club in May.

"Everything went very fast because it was easy," he stated. "I had no doubts about staying.

"This summer we have signed great players, who have adapted very fast to Barcelona. We have a great group now."

Messi also dismissed recent claims that he picks and chooses when he wants to represent Argentina, and that he was even considering his future at international level.

"There was some speculation, but I've been called up and I will continue to play with Argentina," the Rosario native declared.
