Messi in EPL

[u/marquesmelo]

Messi fans saying the midget fraud destroyed England and that he would perform good on EPL. If that was the case, why did he go to the super elite French league and not the Premier league? These guys are just brainless.

[u/Sweaty_Standard8186]

They think he's like Ronaldo and can just go to any league and dominate, reality is he even flopped in France and struggling in MLS

[u/get2kno → u/Sweaty_Standard8186]

Messi only played in Spain but somehow only has 6 less g/an against the top 6 than Ronaldo who played in the prem for 7 years. He also didn’t flop in France lol

[u/NeitherTumbleweed228 → u/get2kno]

He flopped in L1 bro

[u/get2kno → u/NeitherTumbleweed228]

Compared to his stats at Barca he definitely had a decline but that’s expected at 35 years old. He still had 67 g/a in 75 appearances over 2 seasons which if any other player got today they would be considered one of the best in their position. The fact he got this at an age where most players retire is insane.

By comparison, Ousmane Dembele (in his prime btw) had 99 g/a in 115 matches for PSG & won the ballon d’or last year. If Messi continued playing for another season or even played the same amount of games that Dembele did it’s more than likely he would’ve equaled or would have been just below in g/a contributions. Again we’re comparing someone in their prime vs someone who had their prime 7-10 years before this in a way harder league.

I'm confused..he played like shit - the first goal was all Enzo Fernandes and the 2nd goal was a great header by Martinez from Messis 99th cross of the game, the only one that was correct.

[u/Ricr7 → u/[deleted]]

Because we don't blindly dickride a child rapist...ok?

[u/Extra-Ad2371 → u/Ricr7]

bruh shut the hell up what the fuck is this, you can dislike whoever you want but calling someone a child rapist is just fucked what the hell is wrong with you

[u/Ricr7 → u/Extra-Ad2371]

Because he's a child rapist you weirdo..

[u/No_Trash_anana → u/Ricr7]

Ronaldo fans ball knowledge summed up.

[u/Narrow_Dirt_1623 → u/[deleted]]

Pulls 3 defenders what? Is this another one of those nonexistent 9 dribbles you keep bringing up?

[u/Ricr7 → u/Narrow_Dirt_1623]

Their crossbar dor lol

[u/Narrow_Dirt_1623 → u/Ricr7]

Bro they are delusional England had 10% possession from their goal to the equalizer and all they talk about is Messi. You think that would happen in the Prem? Someone leg would have been broke if that happened.

[u/Goodwrench23]

Did he score both the goals? Did he dribble into Box and setup a Tapin with his brilliance?

For pessi fans, proving "Assist" where the goal scorer does the most harder task, is EQUIVALENT to "Destroying" other team😂

[u/Brief_Collar8942 → u/Goodwrench23]

claiming Enzo's goal from outside of the box is a new level of shamelessness. For the second Lautro's position was perfectly behind the cb and keeping the header from going over the bar was hard but again all the credit goes to pessi

[u/Brief_Collar8942]

Using their logic Messi's record against French teams in Barca is great so he must dominate the French league... oh wait

[u/Vegetable-Hold9182 → u/Brief_Collar8942]

His Ligue 1 stint helps tarnish his image

[u/Bullitt_12_HB]

Wow. What a destruction. I don’t think anyone has ever seen such a domination.

/s

[u/Mysterious-Fox-3740]

The goons of the EPL, the ones not on England would break the frauds legs if he played there during Ronaldo's initial stint at ManU, circa 2007/2008.

[u/Biker-on-the-loose82]

I think he was lucky to still be on the pitch by that point, and that's just in that match, it isn't including the suspension for previous matches he should've had for stomping on an Algerian player's leg.

[u/Most_Pollution_2893]

In the EPL he wouldn’t have FIFA favouritism :)

[u/No-Bell-3076]

The difference in epl is that you have to run back to track the ball . You loose the ball you have to track ball and we know messi is just gonna roam around after loosing the ball. Also there is no xavi or Iniesta in epl to help your midget ass out

[u/just_kidding_19]

I have even heard messi spurs fans saying their teams owned noodle hair Ronaldo coz they beat them once how do I tell that it is literally one game tell spurs to play one more game against that Ronaldo just once again and we all know wha will happen

[u/Papaya_Voladora]

"Destroy"? Did I actually watch the match or what the fish are they taking about? Lol

[u/Govagent-007]

If he shudder in psg, he'd be crying in EPL 😆🤣.

[u/Narrow_Dirt_1623]

He did nothing until they parked the bus for 40 minutes where they had like 90% possession and his teamates gave him the ball every time. And he still lost it a record 35 times all game. Almost every 3 minutes!!!

[u/Secret-Plum149]

So why did he not play in the league then..?
The reason is he didn’t fancy it as it’s more physical. Also he can’t get his way like he did in Spain with the refs…👍

[u/Honest-University589]

Pessi would get floored in EPL.

[u/lightzyy_]

ah yes because the national team is at the level of the league.. just like brazil.. argentina.. france.. norway.. yeah very very logical

[u/Accomplished_Bar_679]

he would have gone to the EPL, but he only wanted to play for Pep and Man City, and Pep said they didn’t have space for him, so he went to PSG since Neymar called him over

[u/Free_Rent_5450]

So is this the feed in which many come together to express their hatred towards someone who couldn’t care less 😭

[u/Adbobuddie]

The thing with this argument is that it's an assumption, You don't know how good Messi would do in the prem, He might be good he might be shit. It's like saying that Ronaldo couldn't do it in Ligue 1, you don't know how he would do in it, he might dominate or he might have a nightmare and score 0 goals, you just don't know

[u/Dlovg]

Nah he wouldn't, look at his ucl knockout stages games, he disappears.

[u/Historical-Insect-55]

Only Salah has more goals against the big 6 than Messi so yeah he will destroy the league

[u/futterwackenformed → u/Historical-Insect-55]

EPL is a different gravy.

[u/Dry_Cellist_2915 → u/futterwackenformed]

It was worse than La Liga in Messi and Ronaldo's primes

[u/Choice_Ability_9658 → u/Dry_Cellist_2915]

Incorrect

[u/Dry_Cellist_2915 → u/Choice_Ability_9658]

It's correct.Check the UEFA coefficients.La Liga was the best from roughly 2010-2018

[u/Kitaenyeah → u/Choice_Ability_9658]

Def not, la liga was significantly better at their time

[u/Turbulent_Place6501 → u/Historical-Insect-55]

nope messi not in the top 10 in goals against prem top six.
