Greatest player of all time(G.O.A.T) ,none other than Lionel Andres Messi. A prolific goal scorer and a creative playmaker who is outstanding,out of this world in every sense of footballing term he is a pure genius. Hell a lot of joy he brings to the football fans all around the globe by his magical run , dribbling and by his smart tricks and one of those little piece of magic out of his hat when he defy all the top class defenders in the world by putting them an awe, He is not a human he is something else.
When it comes to one-club players in top-flight football, few names can match the impact of Lionel Messi at Barcelona. He was the teen prodigy, he joined barcelona at the age of 13, who became a global legend, all within the confines of the Catalan club. From honing his skill at La Masia to leading the team, the Argentine’s path to greatness was laid out in Spain and he fulfilled his destiny by becoming the most successful player for the club. And for (nearly) 20 years, it was all going according to plan.
At the beginning of the previous season it was impossible to predict his career at the age of 33, ending his career any place other than Camp Nou. But as things stand Barcelona finished this season trophy-less for the first time in 12 years and it's almost official that he has intention to leave Barcelona, this was coming as past three years have been traumatic for Barcelona as well as for their fans, defeat against Roma, Liverpool ,and now a humiliation of 8-2 defeat against Bayern ,from champions of Europe to the punching bags in an embarassing spiral.
There is no one to blame but the Barça board ,no sporting project no competitiveness in the squad , solely reliable on Messi has done them no good , over dependency over the past 5 years has worsened the condition, numerous of transfer scandals out of the pitch by Board members and failed transfers has been a key of this sinking boat .over the past 5 years he has been carrying this hollow team on his shoulder but lack of a competitive project has finally put the nail in the coffin and finally he has chosen to leave Barcelona , being a die hard Barcelona fan even in my most craziest dream ,had never thought of him leaving Camp Nou.
Being a Barcelona fan i had never thought of Barcelona without him, but the question is whether this is a right decision or not?
It's very hard to see him in other team but he should leave Barcelona because of his age, he has 2-3 years left in his career and looking at current Barcelona team it's still in a rebuilding phase and it will take at least 2 years to function it well as a top competitive team but he has few years left in his bag .
He should join a competitive team which can flourish his 2-3 years of football and that team is none other than Manchester City , This team have everything what he needs and the kind of football he will require ,he will easily fit in Manchester City considering his relationship with Pep Guardiola under whom he had his best years at Barca. Manchester city always like to have a lot of possession, last season they averaged approx 60% possession with the ball , which will come handy looking at the type of football he is used too , and possession based football will gives him a lot of advantages as he never track back the opposition many times here this will come handy ,as the main benefit of this type of football is the u don't have to track back many times as almost every time your team will have the ball . Mancity have done heavy investment in defence to reinforce Nathan Ake. Koulibaly is also int their radar which will make them good defensively.
Excellent work , went deep into it . i loved your writing and hoping more something like this
