But it was opened after Messi's performance in the first leg? Makes no sense then, just subjective vote farming by the mods
Pity, I was just going to change my vote, I'm rabid tonight
Sensible decision really.
Im changing my vote. Bottling cnut.
Some achievement that in a game where Barca scored zero goals and pissed away a three goal cushion. A pathetic performance from Messi, and Barcelona as a whole. He's supposed to be their talisman and he didn't deliver anything of value.He was their best player tonight by a fecking mile
Yeah call them out for their hypocrisy but it doesn't change the fact what happened tonight.
They actually went on to bottle a 3-0 lead, unbelievable.
Ronaldo would have not let this happen
Who played better?
Absolutely useless performance by Messi again, when the going get tough, Messi goes missing.
The game become a battle of course he will choke.
He was the last player deserving criticism tonight but he hid in the last 15 minutes imo, he should have been getting the ball deep but he just walked around near the box fenced in.
Excellent decision.
To be fair it wasn't Messi's fault tonight anyway. He created enough for them t have got through easily but was surrounded by bottlers.
Maybe should have left it till this week to reopen the poll.
Greatest bottler of all time?
Typical by the Messi brigade.
Keep telling that to yourself, maybe you convince yourself that he is shit.
Just like last week ?
Messi always shows up.....with the bottle
Jesus Christ
Messi Mashed on Mersyside
Seriously its getting to the point its actually blasphemus to suggest theres such a huge gulf in class when it comes to Messi vs Ronaldo.
Walking,Hands on hips,hardly tracking back.
Hes no leader.

Three assists tonight waisted.
Hard to blame Messi for this, though, is it? Barca play bad in both legs. Scores two goals in the first leg and puts two men through on goal in this one. If any of them score, we're talking about 1-2 assists in this game.
You can make an argument for Barca bottling it, but you can't make an argument that Messi didn't score or create in both legs.

Op should be changed to Wijnaldum vs Ronaldo
The poll is closed after this choke fest ? Point proven in the bias here but ok
Framing votes for the bottler then?
Embarrassing, Messi can’t be the goat when he can’t show up when it matters. Even though I m a big fan of his, he doesn’t have the passion for success as Ronaldo does. Ronaldo at least has showed he is capable of showing up in pivotal matches.
Messi is a bottlejob. He is a great player but if I had to go on a war I would choose ronaldo
Don't expect people to acknowledge this. If he doesn't singlehandedly win the match when all his teammates play shite, then its tantamount to failure in their eyes.
You can't reason with illogical people.
CR7 GOAT-for-life.
You just cannot be the GOAT when your team gets "reversed" two years in row...

Is this debate still a thing ? Poll or no poll true fans know who the best player is and it has shown again and again and again.
Ronaldo wouldn’t of let this happen
This Barca team are shite. Vastly overrated, been dug out of a hole by Messi time and time again this season but this was one step too far tonight. Suarez, Alba, awful tonight.
That doesn't take away the fact that in the last 10 minutes of the game the ball was around him and he was walking.
Walking to save energy? for tactical reasons? to prevent injuries? because you want to mislead the defenders? I'm okay with all of that, but you can't miss a ball in the 89'th minutes, and watch how Sergi Roberto presses the defenders while you walk around and turn your back on the pressure, there's NOTHING else to play for at that moment and still he doesn't try...
Also missed and easy chance first half in the box.
the reaction in here is beautifully predictable. absolutely mental, but still.
That's exactly it. When Barcelona were on their knees he went completely missing. He was great until the second goal, albeit without affecting the scoresheet, but he completely disappeared from the game when Liverpool got back into the tie with the second and third goals. A truly great player stands up and leads his team from the front through thick and thin. Messi isn't that player, and it's why he's bottled so many tournaments. A gifted genius, the most mesmerizing player I've seen, yeah, but there's more to it than just talent when it comes to actual greatness.
In terms of talent he's superb simply a brilliant player, but he doesn't have that mental edge to top GOATs have, when the going gets tough he can't be relied upon.
Any rational and objective individual viewing that game would not come to your conclusion. In your world, a player has to singlehanded create every chance and score every goal for them to not be a bottlejob when their teammates underperformed.
