Di Maria was a HUGE reason Argentina won the World Cup. The width, especially. As good as Argentina are at playing through the middle, ultimately, you cannot sustain it with no width whatsoever.
Simeone HAS to play.
Messi played over 120 minutes in a gruelling encounter, scored one, helped create two others, and somehow there are fans disputing his Man of the Match.
The same crowd that applauded an honorary one handed to a passenger with 25 touches, in a game won only after he was removed.
Messi is where he is because the world has always asked more of him than it ever asked of any footballer, dead or alive. He keeps answering.
Messi’s greatness is so massive that people have to lower their IQ just to make themselves feel better. He took a free kick after the referee blew but they’re crying because the keeper was not “ready”.
Same guys that celebrate “corner taken quicky” by Trent against Messi 😭
🚨🩵🤍 Lisandro Martínez: “Leo Messi is a massive example because he has suffered a lot throughout his entire career, he has suffered losses and he never gave up”, told ESPN.
“Today he is here at 39 years old, fighting, battling, he has already won everything, he has absolutely nothing left to prove”.
“He is the best player in history, not just in football, but in all of sports. It's madness”.
“And for those of us coming up behind him, how can we not keep fighting if the best of all time does it with this kind of passion? We have to follow behind him in the exact same way”.
“Harry Kane is better than Messi”
“Olise is better than Messi ”
“Mmbappe is better than Messi ”
“Halland is better than Messi ”
Every body in their prime is being compared to Messi
