Lionel Messi scores twice, one a free kick, in 4-0 FC Barcelona win vs. Granada

1. […] the Supercopa without proper fans seems anti-climatic, especially with Lionel Messi being in the form that he is. Supplementing his current form is the unreal stats Messi has piled in the Supercopa, […]

2. Gaich is leaving CSKA Moscow (not sure it’s confirmed or not),might leave on loan to Sheffield United or Fenerbahce

   • Badly needed move as he is rotting in Moscow. Even Ponce gets regular starting role in Spartak. Gaich is like a 10mins player in CSKA even after half season+. Even coming back to Argentine league is a better option than missing out crucial playing minutes at this stage of career. He is Batista’s main attack lynchpin for U23 Olympics & hope he makes a good change now.

     • Agreed bro even if he move to Sheffield United he might play good becos they don’t have good striker

3. Nico Gonzalez penalty plus a nice Messi-esque assist.

4. Leeds getting completely hammered by 4th division Crawley Town. Bielsa plays beaitiful football,but it wasnt enough to beat some amateurs

   • Ultra attacking-mode has cost Bielsa numerous time!

5. Udinese badly needs a good striker. Depaul producing so many chances which Lasanga just keeps bottling . Good game for now by Musso & Molina also. While Molina is more of a RWB in Udinese formation , it will be good to be see him in NT as a RB. I feel he & Montiel should compete for RB spot.

   • De Paul assists in the season 1, xA 6,72!!!, poor Pussetto’s season is over.

6. N. Gonzalez and J. Correa should be left winger for Argentina not Ocampus.

7. Great News for Barca and Albiceleste, Messi is back to form!! The reason Barca has won 80% of the La-Liga titles in the last 15 yrs is Messi and Messi only and this patch of bad form seems to have lit a fire in him!!

8. Can anyone tell me where is Paredes he is not even in substitute list. He is very good player I think best midfielder of PSG. In their champion league title race he was most useful player.
   He does not want to move to Italy so is he injured or something else

   • “I think best midfielder of PSG” I think you havent watched enough playing Marco Veratti.

     • Verratti was one of the main reasons behind PSG’s failures in Champions League, a dwarf without defensive skills, and not creative enough. Without him and with Paredes PSG instantly reached the UCL final, cause Leandro made the imbalanced midfield (with Verratti) more stabile. With Verratti not even a semi-final from 7-8 chances. And i not say Paredes is world class (he is an OK player, and best argentine DM atm) but Verratti is so much overrated.

       • PSG was too lucky last season in . The only stronger opponents they faced is KO stages was Bayren . Beating Dortmund, Atalanta without thier most inform player llicic and Leipzig.

     • Verrati is good against small teams but Paredes is good against top teams. PSG feels more secure with Paredes.This season PSG lost when Paredes was not starter. Against Barça I am OK with Virrati but with Paredes in the team I am more concerned.

   • Paredes has been injured since late December, right hip injury…

9. Armani conceded two easy goals both were pretty much stoppable for goalkeeper. Emi Martinez needs to step up now, Argentina coach needs no nonsense attitude. Emi Martinez, N. Gonzalez, Paredes,Foyth must be in playing eleven.
   Best team for Argentina
   Emi Martinez
   Foyth. Pezella. Otamendi. Tagliafico
   De Paul. Paredes. Lo Celso
   Messi. Aguero. N. Gonzalez
   Subs
   Alario
   Dybla
   Guido Rodriguez
   C. Romero

   • Honestly I don’t understand your obsession with Foyth, so far he has not shown that he deserves to be starting for Argentina National Team.

     Anyways, in my opinion this is the strongest XI at the moment:

     Emi/Musso

     Montiel, Romero, Pezzella, Tagliafico
     De Paul, Paredes, Lo Celso
     Messi, Lautaro, Ocampos/Nico Gonzalez

     • Foyth started four matches in Copa America and was quite good,was good against Brazil in Saudi Arabia too. At least Argentina did not concede goal through right side unlike Montiel.I think Foyth, Sarvia and Monroe are good choice for Right Back but only two can be selected.

     • looking current form . Acuna over Tagliafico.

       • That would be fine too

10. Finisher : Dybala, Lautaro, icardi, Agureo, alario
    Creator :Messi, Gomez,Gonzalez, Ocampos,Di maria, Emi buendia.
    Mid:F vera, Lo celso, E palacios, Matias palacios, Guido Rodriguez, Paredes,De paul
    CB:Romero, Senesi,Pezzella,Medina,Otamendi, Perez,lisandro
    WB: Acuna, Tagliafico, Montiel, Foyth
    Goalie: Emi martinez, Juan musso, Agustin merchasin

11. Ive liked Velasco since the first time I saw him play, but damn, he is better than I thought.

    • Same here…The more i see velasco the more admiration i have for him. What a talent.
      And i don’t want to see armani again in NT first 11. He again made an error on velasco’s 2nd goal. I’ve always loved armani’s calmness, braveness and his shot stopping prowess but he is not the same player anymore.

12. […] Lionel Messi scored twice for FC Barcelona, one of which was a free kick, in their 4-0 win vs. Granada. Messi is now on four goals in his last two matches for FC Barcelona, this time scoring twice before being substituted off. It was 1-0 Barcelona when Messi received the ball on the edge of the penalty area. His effort beat the goalkeeper to double their lead. However, the Messi show wasn’t done just yet. Barcelona were awarded a free kick before half time and up stepped Messi. He would […] Lionel Messi scores twice, one a free kick, in 4-0 FC Barcelona win vs. Granada […]

13. The difference between BIG CHANCES CREATED and BIG CHANCES MISSED since 2015/16 (League+CL)
    Messi +113; Neymar +25; Griezmann -3; Salah -16; Vardy -32; Kane -35; Higuain -38; Immobile -39; Icardi -42; Lukaku -44; Aguero -50; Benzema -54;Luis Suarez -60; Cristiano -66; Auba -86; Cavani -91; Lewandowski -118.

    League of his own, unbelievable.

14. Icardi 🔥

    • ROMANCE KING AKA RAJ, don’t get too excited 🙂 or else you’ll start your usual deprived/horny stuff

15. Icardi is back goal plus assist.

    • He’s a good impact sub
