what i dont remember is Messi doing wonders when, to salvage Barca when there is need.. sorry Messi fans
I didn't want to have this discussion here but i just had to respond to this ridiculous claim, how many times have we seen Messi dragging Barca through in almost all the competitions.....kwani what have you been watching all this time, he's scored almost half of Barca's goals this season.
This season alone Messi became the first player to score five goals in a Champions League match.
He became Barca's all time goal scorer.
He became the best goalscorer in history in one season in Spain.
He became the best goalscorer in history in one season in Europe.
He became only the second player to pass 70 goals in a first division season since 1924.
You might not be a Barca fan but you cannot compare Messi's influence on the pitch to that of McManaman or Aguero, its almost criminal....he's a football god, given his record so far he's already the top contender for this year's Ballon D'or although the Euros might change that.
