Re: The Lionel Messi Appreciation Thread & Fan Club III

[Harmonica]

Lionel Messi has scored more goals from outside the box than any other player in the top five European leagues in the last 10 seasons (57). Sniper.— OptaJose (@OptaJose) October 7, 2018

[Myesyats]

I remember the times when he was criticised for not being able to score from outside the box

[Adit]

You gotta appreciate Suarez as well.. the goals messi scored against Tottenham and now Valencia were all created by intelligent movement by Suarez.

Meanwhile Benzema still blaming CR for not having shot on goal in 6 games.

[Harmonica]

Messi has now scored at least 40 goals per year for a decade.

2009 - 41 goals
2010 - 60 goals
2011 - 59 goals
2012 - 91 goals (WR)
2013 - 45 goals
2014 - 58 goals
2015 - 52 goals
2016 - 59 goals
2017 - 54 goals
2018 - 41 goals (so far)

Lmao just read this, before Chelsea tie 2012:

From Drogba's biography :
"Robbie Di Matteo did what he always did and put up a list of the opposing team's top scorers. Usually, the list would read something along the lines of Rooney - 22 goals; Van Persie - 15 and so on.

"When the Barcelona list went up, sure enough, in third place was Xavi on 14, in equal second place were Alexis Sánchez and Cesc Fàbregas on 15, but we all just laughed when the top scorer came up on the screen - Lionel Messi on ... 63 goals, 14 in the Champions League alone!

"But 63 that season? It was such a ridiculous figure that we looked at each other in disbelief and laughed - what else could we do? I even took a picture of the number because it was so outrageous."

91 in a calendar year, good lord

That's not even his best move that match. The best moment was when Koke tried to grab him with both hands with all his might and got completely owned. You simply can't stop Messi like that, he'll always get the better of you despite being shorter.

Do you make these GIFs yourself?

[FennecFox7]

Great freekick assist. Very clever, they definitely worked on that beforehand

Yeah.

[Harmonica]

Can't remember when Barca last scored a tactical freekick.

[Cruijf]

Great freekick assist. Very clever, they definitely worked on that beforehand

Are you being sarcastic? Messi himself said it was just a bad free kick and they got lucky.

[Myesyats]

Pique said that they practiced it in training and Messi came up later and said it's completely not true

That's exactly what I would say if I wanted that to work again.

[BarrileteCosmico]

Pretty sure Pique was being sarcastic lol

[Kebab]

Messi is himself's worst enemy

[Harmonica]
