this is pretty funny
it would have been utterly absurd to start your 39-year-old superstar, who plays half seasons in MLS now, in a true dead rubber, and yet I'm sure Scaloni is telling the truth that Messi could have said "I'd like to play" and no one could have said no
In this World Cup, you have the Champions League’s top scorer, the second-highest scorer, the competition’s best player, the Premier League’s top scorer, and the Premier League’s Player of the Season.
All of these stars are performing at the highest level in club football.
Yet the tournament’s top scorer is 39 years old. Messi could play until he’s 50, and he’d still outshine them all.
the best midfield in the entire tournament carrying this millstone around their necks for no reason is the most absurd story of this world cup and it sure does not seem like anyone in the clubhouse or the fa has the juice to make the obvious change
Fab:
🗣️: “The reality is that he wants to join Barcelona 100%. Julián wants Barcelona, and that has been confirmed completely.
If he cannot move to Barcelona … It would be very difficult for Julián to stay at Atlético Madrid after what he has said.
If a move to Barcelona does not go through, he could consider other options. But as of today, at the end of June, he is still saying: “Barcelona, Barcelona, Barcelona.”
