It was a ridiculous 15 minutes for Lionel MESSI against Sevilla as he scored, assisted and got injured.

Before the start of the match, MESSI was awarded the liga player of the month award. The trophy was handed to him by formee team mate Javier SAVIOLA.

Lionel MESSI started the match strong for Barcelona as he helped set up the first goal in their 4-2 win against Sevilla. He played a pass in to COUTINHO and the Brazilian perfectly slotted the ball into the top corner of the net.

MESSI added Barcelona’s second shortly after. The captain received the ball in midfield as he drove towards the penalty area and passes the ball into the bottom corner of the net.

The injury came just minutes after that as he fell down holding his shoulder. Official reports by the club have MESSI out for around 3 weeks which would mean he would miss next week’s clasico against Real Madrid but also the Champions League clash against Inter.

  1. All players, except for Leo, would need 90 minutes hoping to do what he did in those 15. Ridiculous. Get well soon Leo, Argentina needs you.

  2. Sala just scored a hat-trick for Nantes, not famous and impressive in statistic but hard-working and reliable forward. I always like this kind of old-school forward. Another one I also like is Ocampos, may not be the most talented winger but he could be great as center-forward because he’s tall, fast and powerful. I hope his club coach can use him in this way.

  3. My guess is that Messi will return for Copa America 2019 as this is his last chance to win a trophy with the NT. The next WC is 50 months away. By that time he will have ended his career.

    • Messi remain best in the world by a distance till 2020 and remain top3 in the world till 2022 in a worst case scenario if not best, messi will play 2022 WC as best Argentina player

    • Messi even at the age of 35 years old can be the best play-maker. He is not a defender or a winger which requires blistering pace to succeed.He might not have the pace in 2022 but his skills will make up for it.

      • Exactly! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. He could be for us what Xavi was for Spain in 2010 and 2012. He has no pace whatsoever, everybody knows that, but what won him a WC and back to back Euro’s was his vision and passing. Messi could do the same for Argentina, feeding through balls to the likes of Icardi, Pavon, Dybala, etc. He will still be the best then, and still a valuable asset for any team wherever he ends his career.

    • All respect mate what make you think.
      He wants to play arg again.
      My pointview that is far from sure even when Tata saying that afa re still in mess

      • because he has given it his all and loves the albiceleste. we all assume he still wants to hep the NT attain a trophy..he once said he’d give up all his ballon dor’s for a wc trophy.

        • Messi still loves Argentina and gives his all for the country. He even shows his Argentine nature with Barcelona. I mean we all know the rivalry we have with England, and looked how hard he goes against English clubs LOL recently Tottenham, showing no mercy at Wembley. He’ll most definitely be back for 2019 Copa America! And he’ll give his all to win the trophy in our rivals backyard.
