Could very well be right, its a question of adaptation, tactically Barcelona already sacrifice defensive shape and solidity by letting Messi not press so he can play more. I suppose if he ends up being subbed more to maintain himself he can extend his career, will be interesting to see.

The fact that you believe Lukaku can be the top scorer in Spain says it all. Ohh and lets disregard the fact that the Premier League is a two horse league, see what I did there? The fact of the matter is Van Dijk had a great season, no question about it. Was his season on an individual level...

No he doesn't. Didn't have a better individual season than Messi, having said that the voting system in the Balon D'Or can be swayed by heavy campaigning so wouldn't be suprised if Liverpool launch one for Virgil. Fantastic player, should be in top 3 but not winning it.

People somehow miss age gap, Messi is two years younger so in terms of longevity at the highest level he will last longer I reckon (competitively that is).

Coutinho getting booed every time he is on the ball at the Camp Nou game against Getafe. His days are numbered!

A lot of the time it is to deliver on appearance bonus as a sign of good faith. If a player has put in good work and is not necessarily a starter it is a way to show appreciation for their work and hope they stay at the club.

Would look more interesting with appearances next to goals. Cristiano Ronaldo - 121 goals, 158 apps Lionel Messi - 106 goals, 129 apps Raul - 71 goals - 142 apps Benzema - 59 goals, 110 apps Van Nistelrooy - 56 goals, 73 apps

The party was sponsored by Red Bull and Beats so no wonder the extensive invite and venue. Seems like a commercial obligation mixed with pleasure, win-win I suppose.

Give him a school uniform and it doesn't look weird, the guy looks stupid young for his age.

Bullocks, do you know of any clinical evidence or evidence relating to Messi? Synthetic hGH is made via genetic engineering (started in the 1980s) and the synthetic form of hGH has a sequence identical to the naturally occurring 22 kDa hormone. There is no biological difference in their effects...

True, albeit they have left it too late.

He gets the same wage in the UAE as an elite player in Europe would get, circa 150k a week. Couple that with external pressures to keep him in the Gulf as a poster boy for their football and as gratitude for giving him and his extended family wealth and stability it's no wonder he will probably...

:lol: Can't believe I still haven't seen him live, I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't at least once!

Europe's top five leagues in 2018-19: Most goals - Messi Most assists - Messi Most dribbles - Messi Most chances created - Messi Most free-kicks scored - Messi Most key passes per 90 mins - Messi Most goals from outside the box - Messi He missed three weeks through injury. Source...

If Zidane played in the same era as Messi and Ronaldo his legacy and legend wouldn't be the same, and that is one thing Iniesta has to contend with.
