Re: The Lionel Messi Appreciation Thread & Fan Club III

Gerd Müller is easily the most underrated player in the history of football.

That would be Messi, but Müller is definitely underrated.

My dad says he was a vulture.

This shouldn't be possible, but at 31 years old Lionel Messi is averaging more non-penalty goals and assists per 90 minutes than at any point in his career. pic.twitter.com/FjW88HjTVn

[Harmonica]

6th league game in a row with a goal, ties his third best streak.

21 (WR in any league)
10
6 (5 times)

[Harmonica]

Reminds me one of the most absurd records of all-time, Messi actually held the previous record streak in modern top leagues, and more than doubled it with the 12-13 run. He also scored against every league opponent in a row (19), only player ever to do so. Run that ended in injury.

48th chip goal, but only the first one in almost two years (26.4.17).

[Winter is Coming]

He’s had an G/A in every game except 3 this season (out of 25) and is on a 16 game streak to register a G/A in all competition.

This board literally wasted his peak.

[Harmonica]

The 3/25 or 88% is actually the best of his career, 12-13 season being the second best, 8/50 or 84%. He isn't on 16 game streak though as there was the cameo against Tottenham.

[Harmonica]

After a goal and two assists, Sevilla is now Messi's favorite victim in both goals and assists, 31+21 in 36 matches.

Most Goals Against

31 Sevilla
28 Atletico Madrid
26 Real Madrid
25 Valencia
24 Athletic Bilbao

Most Assists Against

21 Sevilla
19 Levante
15 Espanyol
15 Getafe
14 Real Madrid

[Harmonica]

In 8 game scoring streak in the league, which is the third best streak of his career. 21 game scoring or assist streak, if you don't count the Tottenham cameo.

[Harmonica]

Messi became the top scorer in club football among active players.

Top Scorers in Club Football (active players)

592 in 696 or 0,85 Messi (age 31.7)
592 in 793 or 0,75 Cronaldo (age 34.0)
443 in 757 or 0,59 Zlatan (age 37.4)

i always wonder one thing, before you were a Ronaldo fan, what happened afterwards, how did you become a neutral sensible poster?

[Harmonica]

[RealGunner]

he is still just 31 lol. I don't think he will regress anytime until 33/34.

We really are lucky to witness his entire career live.

[Harmonica]

Messi against Sevilla 36 goals and 22 assists in 37 games. In the last 21 games 23+19 and only one game without a goal or assist.

[Myesyats]

can we come in harmonica? where are you?

"can we come in"

lmao deceased

[FennecFox7]

Incredible performance. It speaks volumes when a player isnt at his 100% best and scores a hat trick.

A motivated messi is the best player in history
