joviegghead:I am not criticizing. I am genuinely worried because that was how he started last season. And he's supposed to be a mainstay this season cus I still don't trust Dembele. If he knows he's still "upcoming" they better find how to sign someone at winter; even if it's Depay. To complement the squad. |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by joviegghead: 9:30pm On Oct 14, 2020 |
tesppidd: I think this season will be different for Dembele. As for signings, hopefully we get the right man, and not another Griezmann. |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by tesppidd: 12:54pm On Oct 15, 2020 |
Lionel Messi by numbers: More than a decade of dominance in La Liga and beyond. Lionel Messi is closing in on a mammoth 750 appearances for Barcelona in what could be his final season for them. The Argentine’s contract expires at the end of 2020/21 and given his very public fallout with the club board this past summer, the potential for him to not renew in Catalunya is very real. Messi would leave behind a legacy of feats, practically all of them achieved by him during his time at the Camp Nou. If there’s a record to be set, you can be sure Messi has set it. Messi’s dominance is especially apparent in La Liga. League play is the benchmark of consistency and quality that all great squads aspire to. It is the hardest trophy to win and most managers consider it the best. It perhaps lacks the razzle dazzle of a knockout cup, but it illustrates true consistency and quality better. And if two words summed up Lionel Messi’s footballing career, it would be consistency and quality. The Argentine has been great ever since his debut. But starting with 2006/07, the first season he played more than 20 league games, his performance and output in La Liga is absolutely, utterly, incomprehensibly ridiculous. He dominates every major metric that Opta keep track of. Don’t believe us? Well check this out: La Liga since 2006/07: 1. Appearances Lionel Messi: 464 Raul Garcia: 454 Aritz Aduriz: 425 Messi’s ability to always be fit for selection is an underrated part of his skill-set. It is what makes all the records you’re about to read possible. By managing his physical exertion in games (i.e. those times when he walks around) he manages to stay fit and avoid serious injuries, meaning more minutes for much magic. 2. Dribbling Take-ons completed Lionel Messi: 2,039 Joaquin: 749 Andres Iniesta: 739 Messi’s dribbling is quite simply without equal. Usually great dribblers have a few years where they’re able to dance past anyone, but Messi has been doing it for nigh-on 15 years now. Bewitching and bewildering defenders for an entire generation. Levels. 3. Playmaking Chances created Lionel Messi: 1,019 Xavi: 662 Joaquin: 639 Messi’s passing is definitely his most underrated skill, as he is genuinely one of the best playmakers in the world and has been for a decade. He is constantly putting team-mates into positions to score. 4. Assists Lionel Messi: 181 Dani Alves: 89 Cristiano Ronaldo: 87 Messi’s 181 assists is a huge number that owes itself the quality of his team-mates (Luis Suárez, Samuel Eto’o, Neymar, etc.) but the massive gulf between chances created and assists shows that he could have created more goals for Barcelona if said team-mates were sharper. 5. Goalscoring Shots on target Lionel Messi: 1,039 Cristiano Ronaldo: 831 Karim Benzema: 449 “You’ve got to make the goalkeeper work,” is what the old heads always say about shooting, and Messi does just that more often than anyone. 6.Goals Lionel Messi: 438 Cristiano Ronaldo: 311 Karim Benzema: 170 Goals are the most basic currency in football, and it is a currency in which Messi deals regularly. The Argentine’s ability to outscore even a dedicated goal-getter like Cristiano Ronaldo while maintaining the rest of his game to a ridiculous level is why he’s the greatest of all time. 7.Direct Free-kick goals Lionel Messi: 36 Cristiano Ronaldo: 20 Dani Parejo: 11 Benat: 11 Messi’s expertise from set-pieces emerged in 2012 and has been a significant feature of his time in Barcelona since. When Messi stands over a free-kick, you can feel the anticipation build to fever pitch… and then he shoots! 8.Goals from outside the box Lionel Messi: 79 Cristiano Ronaldo: 42 Santi Cazorla: 22 But Messi’s ability from range is not restricted to set-pieces, from chips against Tenerife to thunderbolts vs. Osasuna to bending beauties at the Bernabeu, Messi is lethal from all distances. Across Europe. *If Messi’s magical metrics in La Liga weren’t impressive enough, his production is actually that dominant across all of Europe’s top five leagues. You may wonder how those absurd numbers from above stack up against all of Europe’s finest since 2006/07? Can Messi’s dominance extend out across all of the top five leagues and over other legends who dominate their own divisions? Let’s have a look. Europe’s top five leagues since 2006/07: 1. Appearances Hugo Lloris: 477 Samir Handanovic: 474 Blaise Matuidi: 467 This is a bright start for the anti-brigade as Messi doesn’t feature among the top three appearance-makers across Europe’s top five leagues. He’s only three appearances away from levelling Blaise Matuidi, however, and given the Frenchman is currently playing in the MLS we are not far from seeing Messi break the top three. 2. Dribbling Take-ons completed Lionel Messi: 2,039 Eden Hazard: 1,244 Franck Ribery: 974 Messi remains Dribble God even when up against someone like Eden Hazard, who has spent most of the time facing less technically excellent defenders in England, or Franck Ribery dicing up defenders in the counter-happy Bundesliga. He simply cannot be touched. 3. Playmaking Chances created Dimitri Payet: 1,162 Mesut Ozil: 1,107 Lionel Messi: 1,019 Messi quite predictably drops a bit down the list for pure chances created, as dedicated playmakers Payet and Ozil (who also take every passing set-piece, which Messi doesn’t) edge their way above him. That he is still contending with guys, whose only job is to set team-mates up, again shows the breadth of his brilliance. 4. Assists Lionel Messi: 181 Cesc Fabregas: 136 Mesut Ozil: 132 Messi cannot be touched for assists, though. As good as Cesc Fabregas and Ozil are (and remember some of those Fabregas assists were for Messi) they cannot compare to the Argentine’s ability to create goals. 5. Goalscoring. Shots on target Cristiano Ronaldo: 1,187 Lionel Messi: 1,039 Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 676 With his spells at Old Trafford and Juventus Stadium taken into account, Cristiano Ronaldo manages to surpass Messi for hitting the target with his shots. 6. Goals. Lionel Messi: 438 Cristiano Ronaldo: 432 Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 257 Cristiano Ronaldo is older than Messi and since 2008 has dedicated himself wholesale to goalscoring, yet Messi has outdone him in this area. Not by much, admittedly, but again: Messi is a player who spreads his influence across every facet of his team’s attack, and dominates all of those facets. 7. Direct Free-kick goals Lionel Messi: 36 Cristiano Ronaldo: 30 Miralem Pjanic: 16 Juan Arango: 16 Andrea Pirlo: 16 Messi’s free-kick dominance extends even over Cristiano’s Manchester United period when the Portuguese was lethal from dead-ball situations. Other specialists like new team-mate Pjanic and the hipster legend Pirlo aren’t even close, seeing their totals doubled by Messi. 8. Goals from outside the box Lionel Messi: 79 Cristiano Ronaldo: 58 Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 37 Messi is football’s deadliest sniper, rifling in more goals from distance than anyone else, even Cristiano Ronaldo and the mighty Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Messi can dribble to shoot from close, he can shoot straight-up from range, he can thread the eye of the needle with a pass and he can do all this while playing almost every game possible. That he only dropped out of one of the above top threes when his metrics were placed against the very best Europe can offer says it all. Completely dominated world football for the past 14 years. The best player in the world, bar none. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It is very very very hypocritical and stupid and wrong to compare C Ronaldo to Messi. Messi is simply the greatest of all time. Forget the world cup thing. If world cup can be achieved by the performance of one player, Messi will have 15. I just wish and pray he ends his career in Barcelona. 4 Likes |

Awesome01: You are claiming a thread on another man's property. The post praised Messi for having more League goals than Ronaldo, a player who is more goal focused according to the post (438 - 311) but it wasn't stated anywhere that Messi has been playing in La liga before Ronaldo and Ronaldo left Laliga in 2018 and this is just one, there are others. By the way, you're ill-mannered. 2 Likes |
