Messi Fans

Some years ago, this question may not even have been allowed to come out of the mouth of any football fan even if it pops up as a random thought. However, with how fast-paced the changes in football have proven to become over the last couple of years, it is looking as though there’s nothing that can be termed “impossible”. For instance, it would have been very difficult to predict that Lionel Messi would leave Barcelona and sign for Paris Saint-Germain but of course, we have seen that happen already even though some people are still finding it hard to embrace that reality.

Also, it was always looking like Cristiano Ronaldo would end his career at Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid given how he was idolized by the club’s fans and of course, the several achievements he earned while playing for the Los Blancos. But we have seen him leave Madrid as well and although he now plays for the club where he established himself as a superstar, Manchester United, he already had a stint with Italian Serie A giants Juventus before making the homecoming to Old Trafford last summer.

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) superstar Lionel Messi was in sensational form as Argentina swept away Bolivia to take another step towards qualification for next year’s FIFA World Cup tournament in Qatar. Lionel Messi was responsible for all the three goals as Argentina beat Bolivia 3-0 at home to make it two successive wins in the South American qualifiers for Qatar 2022.

Messi and Argentina have won two straight games in the qualifiers for the World Cup tournament next year since the late collapse against hosts Colombia in June.

Argentina established a two-goal lead inside ten minutes against the Colombians thanks to the goals from new Tottenham Hotspur recruit Cristian Romero and Leandro Paredes before the hosts fought back with two second half goals. Continue reading “MESSI HITS TREBLE AGAINST BOLIVIA”

Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona are currently in a financial crisis and they have a lot of work to do in order to get out of the situation they are in presently. The Blaugrana are, as of the moment, unable to register Lionel Messi as their player for the coming La Liga season because the wage structure of the league restricts them from spending as much as they will be doing if the player signs another contract at the club. There has been a few reasons for the delay in Messi signing a new Barcelona contract and while one of them is due to the fact that he is currently away on international duty with his country Argentina, the other one is due to his wage demands.

Messi, before officially becoming a free agent on the 30th of June after his previous contract expired, earned over a million pounds per week but that was before Barca signed Sergio Agüero and Memphis Depay this summer. The Catalan giants completed the signing of former Manchester City striker Agüero and ex-Lyon attacker Depay as free agents this summer but even though they completed the signings without paying any transfer fee, they would still have to pay their wages, and that’s where there’s a problem.

Barcelona have lodged an appeal against the two-match ban handed to club skipper Lionel Messi by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). He was slammed with the ban as a result of his red card in the final moments of the Spanish Super Cup final encounter with Athletic Bilbao. His red card overshadowed the Spanish Super Cup triumph for Athletic Bilbao.

Lionel Messi lashed out Asier Villalibre as Barcelona tried to get the equaliser needed to force penalties at the end of extra time. It was the first red card for Lionel Messi in his club career. The Argentine international player has previously been sent off twice in the colours of his country. Continue reading “BARCELONA APPEAL MESSI BAN”
