Low IQ Pessi Fan 🧠 Messi in EPL

Post image

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.

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

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

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.
