I told them that the only reason messi was with barca is because barca is one of the best teams in football and that if it was valencia or villareal that did same, he wud hv left them since...they said I was talking trash grin grin... the moment barca madness start for pitch as iniesta, xavi puyol mascherano dani Alves villa comot.. omo ..baba japa , abandon sinking ship for money men grin grin ... I hv always said that footballer are like these modern women, there is nothing like loyalty... they only want trophies and money , if u like build statue put for field in their honor, they will japa once they hv a better offer and opportunity...

If he so much loved barca and appreciated what they did for him, he wud hv actually played for free cos that team got financially wrecked trying to keep messi... just like a struggling man trying to keep his trophy wife...

i doubt if you followed Barcelona football!!!iniesta,xavi,puyol,marcerano retired from competitive football,no one sent them packing.Messi once told the board he would receive half salary,the question is did the board put before him that they wanted him to stay?one thing is to want me to stay and the other is to work around the finances

What's the job of the accountant, treasurer, financial advisors etc? It's easy to blame the player but the real problem was lack of oversight. They kept spending and spending but they forgot the law of diminishing returns. Messi is the best player in the world and was paid accordingly, I fail to see how this is Messi's fault, you want the best you pay the best, if you can't afford him you let him go and get a huge transfer fee for him....simple!

You aren't making a fair judgement here.


Are you aware that what Laporta was asking for (free play) is not allowed by La Liga laws?


Are you aware that after Barca lost Mercy for free they Signed Luuk de Jong AND he is being paid.

Are you aware that, before he moved on loan to Atletico Madrid, Greizmann was probably the 2nd highest signee for Barca and yet he many times came in as a substitute player.
All other Barca players are being paid.
The manager is being paid. La Porta himself might be paid. At least he would be incentivized.

It's ultimately ridiculous that he wanted the most valuable player in the club not to be paid.

These guys are STRANGE.

Your argument would have been considerable if all players offered not to be paid.

N.B. Even the 3rd choice goal keeper is being paid.

All footballers are "Overpaid".
That no news.

The question you should investigate & ask is, Since 2014 (at least) are there clubs willing to pay him more than he had received from Barca ? Yes.
Manchester City was.

Why didn't he leave then?
You answer that.

The real truth is that Messi dint leave cos of the pay ... he left cos barca became crap ....if they were still doing extremely well on the field... he will take a massive cut below half and no one will know... he just wanted to leave

Single players don't win champions league, the team does! Individuals are judged by stats and according to statistics, he outshined them all when it comes to goals and assists when we consider the past 3-5 years. If we were to go by your logic then Werner/Havertz would be best player in the world since Champions league is all that matters grin grin grin

If he was so good y hasn't he been winning top scorer in the champions league , whr the best of the best compete... u cant score massive goals against minors and claim greatest... scoring goals is different from scoring decisive goals.... he didnt score in an el classico game since 2018 on the same day Ronaldo also scored b4 leaving for Italy.... he cudntvscore Colombia in the semis or Brazil in the final...

Lol..all those are stories that are not credible.... they are just talk cis barca said no one ever dropped an offer for messi ...no one was ready to pay his wages .... these guys see what u people don't see.... no one will pay much for a man over 30 that had struggled to win a trophy for country or even reached the final of the Champions league .... the reason juve signed Ronaldo wasn't just cos of his goals ...he was the most decisive player at that time in football...had won champions league bk to bk to bk as top scorer, league title, the Euros ... and he scored lots of decisive goals... he goatva 4 yr contract at juve at the same age messi is as of now...but psg only gave him 2 yrs ....

What's a decisive goal?

What decisive goal has Haaland scored in the last 2 years? Give me one. I assume a decisive goal should give you a trophy.


Mbappe was almost useless at the Euros.
0 goals 1 assist. You cleverly omitted that.
Mbappe missed a penalty against Switzerland. You carefully omitted that.
Mbappe did nothing and lost the champions league to Bayern in a final where he had a flat performance.

By the way there's nothing 'Officially' like highest goal scorer in champions League. Only we fans record such.

Also explain to us why CR7 failed to win the UCL for Juventus in his seasons with them? He almost made them not qualify for UCL this year and had them end their Serie A 7 years winning streak.
