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 .

Did Lionel Messi become football's second billionaire player in the world?

Yess, he is the 2nd football player to become billionaire after CR7, But he is now the highest earning athlete on the planet. Let's see what is his networth now and how it happened. Net worth : £309 million ($400m) Source of wealth: Football contracts, endorsement deals, investments Messi's net worth is estimated to be around as of 2020. These figures are speculative, though, especially as his business interests tend not to be widely publicised. Forbes ranked Messi 1st among athletes on their list of the top100 highest-earning celebrities of 2019, putting his income for the year at $127m (£98m), and fourth overall, making him the best-earning footballer and athlete in the world. He was $18m ahead of Ronaldo and $22m ahead of Neymar, the next athletes on the list. The Barcelona forward's latest salary package will certainly keep him among the richest active sportsmen on the planet over the next few years.

Does Koeman deserve another chance at BARCELONA?

Though i respect Koeman as a Barcelona Legend but for me Ronald koeman is simply not a coach Barca need at the moment, though he has done a great job by accepting a job at the worst time in the club's history, he has done a great job with the players he has, he does have a cule heart and is pretty much involved in the teams' dynamics intensely, took charge of club in their worst time in history while leaving his easier job at Netherland's national team is something everyone liked but he is not that great coach, which barca need at the moment. Starting a season with the worst record since Rijkaard era, but improving in the latter part of the season is great but it all came against weaker opponents, his tactics and game awareness lacks everytime he coach, his record against top 4 Spanish teams are even worst, shows his incompetency to compete tactically, worst record at camp nou has been produced during his tenure. Barcelona's results in La Liga against the o...

Match Analysis (Barca vs Bilbao) (1-1)-A Wakeup call

Playing vs Athletic in Bilbao is always a difficult task for Barça, and the game yesterday was no exception. However, it was an important wake-up call for Koeman and his players. Question is – Did he listen to the alarming sounds or will we see more games like this. It’s fair to say that Athletic Bilbao were the better team vs Barça, that failed to dominate the game. Moreover, the defense looked very bad. However, there were some good points to take from the game. Let’s start with them: Good Points Although it’s just the start of the season, the signing of Memphis Depay looks like a ‘Bingo’ so far. After Leo Messi left, Memphis quickly turned out as the main force in the Blaugrana attack. Yesterday it felt like he was there all alone trying to score and assist. Moreover, other players ruined good chances he created. And yes I’m talking about the awful miss of Braithwaite in the first minutes. The game could develop a lot different if he scored that goal. But overall great p...
