Will Lionel Messi succeed in a physically intensive league like Premier League considering his age?


why on earth would anyone think that he can't perform there.

Just look at his statistics he is just too good for Premier league , People who says these kinda rubbish doesn't know football or living in a fairy world ,6 time ballon d'or and 6 time Golden boot doesn't come by mistake .

With 22 goals in the Champions League against English clubs, no player can get close to Messi's record. The only other player to have even reached double figures is Messi's great rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who has hit 12 goals in his 17 appearances.

Memorably, two of Messi's goals have come in the final itself. The Argentinian struck against United in the 2009 and 2011 finals, helping to down Alex Ferguson's side.

While his record against English clubs is now brilliant, this was not always the case - hence the questioning of Messi. He did not score or provide a single assist in his first nine appearances against English opposition.

Messi's tally against sides from a single country is only surpassed by Ronaldo's sensational total versus Bundesliga sides, the Portugal international netting a ludicrous 26 goals in 24 matches.

Arsenal are Messi's favourite English opponent. In his six career appearances against the Gunners, Messi has found the net nine times, including a four-goal return at Camp Nou in the quarter-finals in 2010 to help seal a 6-3 aggregate success.

Messi has only scored one other hat-trick against an English team. That treble came in a 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City in the 2016-17 group stage, the Argentina attacker in supreme form against former Barça boss Pep Guardiola.

We all know he is ageing but his goal contribution is greater than KDB (19–20 season )which is KDB's best stats of his entire life , though Messi didn't have good season he has far better and parmount goal contribution this season ,most in Europe .

What do Italian football teams need to surpass Juventus and win Serie A?

Short term : Play well. Do it consistently. Have good scouts and responsible transfer policy. Employ a top manager and a few highly experienced Serie A players. Napoli managed to compete for the Scudetto (and nearly win) last season by doing something similar to this. Long term : Completely change the organisational structure and the mentality of those employed in it. Fabio Capello, a manager who has won the title with both Juventus and AS Roma described the difference. He said that when he won with Juventus, the next day he was discussing things with the club management about how to improve for next season. But, when he won it with AS Roma, the whole club was celebrating the victory for months to come. Simply put, Juventus has been rebuilt in an outstandingly secure fashion. Few clubs are organized that way. It’s only natural that their rule on the Serie A will fall at some point, since, frankly, all clubs hit those periods. But, with the way the club has been set up, I expec...

Riqui Puig should leave Barca?

Barcelona team has been revived since the beginning of the year with all of their players returning from injuries. Players such as Pedri Gonzalez, Memphis Depay, and others are fully fit to compete for the Blaugrana. As a result of this factor, Barcelona’s midfield has a plethora of choices. This might pose major problems for Riqui Puig. Nico Gonzalez, Sergio Busquet, Frankie De Jong, Gavi, Pedri, and Riqui Puig. They all will compete for a spot in the midfield trio. Riqui Puig was left out of the starting XI in the last Classico. Moreover, his absence from the bench indicates that Xavi Hernadez does not count on him. The 22-year-old has made six appearances for the Catalan giant this season, contributing zero goals. Several European clubs approached the La Masia graduate during the previous season, including As Roma, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, and AC Milan. But he turned them all down. He aspired to be a starter and flourish in Barcelona. The Spaniard’s market ...
