There is a huge difference, when Higuain was getting abused, what did messi do?
Here is what Higuain himself said:
Gonzalo Higuain: "After the match, everyone in the locker room turned cold toward me and no one spoke.
Only Messi came over to me, hugged me, and said, 'No problem, this is football. We made it to the final and gave it our all.'
Later, the coach at the time told me not to come back to the national team, but once again Messi stepped in and talked to the coach. 'This isn't his fault. In football, we win and lose together. No one is perfect, he said. He changed the coach's decision.
That's how I got called back to the national team. If it weren't for Messi, I'd still be tormented by guilt to this day."
The drama in the Portugal World Cup camp is an absolute circus. Imagine drawing a World Cup opener and your sister is actively fueling a dressing-room civil war by backing public hit-pieces on your vice captain.
“If he still had the legs, speed and power he had in his prime, he wouldn’t need anyone”
If that’s the case, then why didn’t he just win it in his prime? Do these people have ANY brain cells

We can criticise his mistakes but let's not pretend he's out of contention for anything & useless - he's still absolutely rapid
If there really is a title fight for Lewis, Leclerc will be our biggest issue
