Re: The Lionel Messi Appreciation Thread & Fan Club II

[Hapless_Hans]

damn, good answer.

There's also some level of expectation management going on, tbf.

Don't think for a minute we can't see through this

[Harmonica]

Harmonica slacking with these quotes SMH

The man who created the Panenka penalty, Antonin Panenka, has said that Lionel Messi's Panenka is the best he has ever seen.

Messi's penalty against Getafe on Tuesday night paved the way to a 6-0 Barcelona win.

And speaking to Rac1 on Wednesday, Panenka said that he is happy to see players still taking his approach to spot kicks on.

"I'm happy that players try and do Panenka penalties," he said. "I'm also happy that journalists talk about them and that fans enjoy them."

In reference to Messi's attempt, he said: "The execution of Messi's was the best I have ever seen."

"Footballers like Ramos, Totti and Zidane have also taken a Panenka penalty. But Messi's is the best of them all."

"A few who have tried unsuccessfully have been Neymar, Mickaël Landreau, Antonio Calle, Rogério Ceni, Maicosuel, Marko Dević, Graham Zusi, Robin van Persie, Svetoslav Dyakov, Antonio Cassano and Alexandre Pato."

Wait a sec, didn't Zidane take a Panenka in the final of the World Cup ?

Best passer of all-time and it's not close.

[Cruijf]

That second last GIF is unbelievable because you think he over hit the pass at first and then it slows down to end up falling perfectly for Neymar.

[BarrileteCosmico]

What a goal that 2nd gif would have been if he scored

[Harmonica]

Messi beats Pele’s goals scoring record for consecutive 7 seasons (club and NT)

[Harmonica]

Messi has given twice as many (42) throughballs in the league and cl/eu than the next best one, Fabregas (21).

that dribbling din end up in net .. he needed to shoot in the left post....

He probably got distracted to the right by the lunging defender.

[RealGunner]

[McAgger]

[salmano9]

Nobody has ever said: "Let's create a Messi Denunciation Thread"

[Myesyats]

Ok, just ok

[Harmonica]

Top 3 dribbling performance's in CL since 09-10

81 Messi 14-15 (1-2 games left)
79 Messi 10-11
57 Messi 09-10

[Harmonica]

Messi is the player with most goals (10), most assists (5), most chance's created (35), most dribbles (81) and most throughballs (11) in CL 14-15.

[Kick]

I was honestly thinking at the 70th minute mark "If I were in charge, i'd be getting Messi off, he is doing nothing but walking around".

Then bam! two goals out of no where.

He is a class above, tbh.

Still not over Riquelme's retirement, huh?

[M99]

No words

Boateng should retire after that.

[Wor Ayoze]

Anybody who thinks Ronaldo is even close to this genius should be put in an insane asylum

[DuringTheWar]

Best passer of all-time and it's not close.

Strong argument. No really, something isn't true because you say it is, and a bunch of gifs isn't an argument, particularly when there is nothing in them other players haven't done.
