You guys just bring out stats for no reason ?

Also why only top 5 ? why not top 10-20 ?

Majority of those against much weaker opposition than others, half the goals against Luxembourg, Iceland, Finland and Norway.

Well.. nothing wrong with scoring against scrubs. Messi does it aswell and I guess most other players with good stats do so, too.
The stats are still insane. If we take out friendlies he has 1.5 goals+assists/game and 1.1 in the wc+ec if I didn't make a mistake counting it. Not sure if there's a player who can top that.

Anyway I don't want to derail this topic. Thank you for the link.

Sinisa>>>>Messi confirmed

And for my next magic trick I shall do a pirouette, and a nutmeg, and dribble 4 players.

Harmonica, didn't you want to keep a record of all the Refdrid decisions this season? Where is the thread? Handball penalty not given today to Barca.

[Harmonica]

Magic has higher priority than corruption.

[Bankz]

*ROFL*

[jibers]

Harmonica why was Messi so poor today? Real Madrid got denied a penalty and Suarez dived.

Pls respond.

[Harmonica]

Top5 dribbles against Bilbao in chronological order.

And for my next magic trick I shall do a pirouette, and a nutmeg, and dribble 4 players.

That would have been a sick sick goal.

Should be

Messi
Neymar
Suarez

No bias

[jontsu]

As expected. I'd like to Leo try speak english though.

What for? He'll live in Spain/Argentina for the rest of his life anyway.

The list makes sense. C. Ronaldo shouldn't even be on it, in my opinion. I don't think any other team than Barcelona stood out last season, and although CR7 scored a ridiculous amount of one-touch goals, which I don't believe he received a lot of credit for, his overall performance over the duration of the season was nothing spectacular.
