Re: The Lionel Messi Appreciation Thread & Fan Club

Viggo Mortensen - "I'm a Madrid fan, but that doesn't mean I support Cristiano. Messi is the best player around. He's a true artist.

Messi is a simple, modest guy. What I like most about him is that he never goes down and keeps going like a bull. Besides, if Messi scores, he celebrates with his teammates and he's not waiting for them to come and congratulate him."

how many goals has he scored now with his right foot harmonica?
also rumor is he's getting married soon.

by BarrileteCosmico Sat 20 Dec 2014, 19:56

I think when he beat the la liga record he had like 33 and now he added an additional 8 or so that. But I'll wait for harmonica with the official stats.

Why does he not celebrate after scoring both?

by MaraVilla Sun 21 Dec 2014, 16:24

celebrating is too mainstream nowdays

How pure are goals with the wrong foot compared to the other? hmm

Also really picked up his game these past few week. Really appreciate him and Ronaldo continuing to pressure each other to reach new highs. Don't believe for one second that their "rivalry" doesn't have an effect. You don't become the best without an obsession to be the best.

Wrong foot goal = 10 goals imo. Harmonica will have to enlighten me on this tho.

I believe he was like that throughout the season don't believe in him having the big of a dip like everyone else. The thing is we are heavily reliant on him, more so then ever this season. Whenever he's had a quiet game or has been marked out of a game we've had bad results Madrid/Vigo losses and the 2 draws against Getafe and Malaga. Whenever he's turned up we've been on cruise control. Unfortunately neither Neymar/Suarez at the moment can influence the game like Messi can.

He does have 23 goals in 22 games, as well as hitting the post 8 times this season in La Liga only, so he's been a little unlucky there.

Probably because he only scored the 4th and 5th goal? It's not uncommon that players don't really "celebrate" making it 5:0 a couple of minutes before the end of the game.

Unless it's a penalty to make it 4-1 in the 120'. Rolling Eyes

Champions league final and a league win against the worst team in the league.. very much alike. Stay classy.

No matter how hard we try, we won't get less classy than Ronaldo Proud

sure but if I scored that second goal I would be ecstatic. He seems to not even notice he did a very special thing.

Same thing here tbh. I celebrate every goal I've ever scored, especially the ones in finals and the great ones. Guess that makes me a bad person.

Players always push messi to his right.. or they try. Guess it really doesn't work Laughing

In 2014 Messi created

24 chances more in La Liga than anyone else
6 chances more in World Cup than anyone else
2 chances more in Champions League than anyone else

Not good enough. Mad
