Does not speak volumes at all. It's sound football. You do not leave an OPEN space for a genius dribbler to receive ALONE.

No one else can reproduce these system. They can literally outpass the whole the team to score.

Every era had their dominant teams. But as far as overall excitement I think it definitely was the best era. Classico’s were full of drama. The players looked like they wanted war. It could also be because I’m an 80’s baby I’ve enjoyed it more because I was the perfect age to consume all football with no stress or responsibilities of life. But now it doesn’t taste the same.

Messi the man the myth the legend
If you did not press Xavi it gives Xavi the space and time to dictate the midfield. So in general, the false 9 position of Messi was really a legendary move by Pep to utilize the greatest player on the planet at that time to open up spaces and to force Real Madrid into the back foot.

As a messi fan, it gives me chills when the world class defenders are saying that "messi is coming" 😎
No wonder he’s such a good coach & understands the game so well now. My man’s was out here getting double, tripled team in a roulette to players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc 2-4 times a season. He suffered 1st hand to gain the knowledge he has now plus being coached by Pep, Mou, Ancelotti etc. He’s so well rounded now from arguably the best defensive coach oat to best possession manager oat plus a mastermind like Ancelotti who always figures out a way to win. This man is set to becoming one of the greatest coaches in the world.

"Messi is coming"
Xabi Alonso has such an enviable professional player C.V. in terms of titles won. League titles, Champions League, European Cup, World Cup. Assorted domestic cups.
Brudda said "messi is coming" like Viggo warning his kid about John Wick lmao
And still, they couldn't stop him.😂 No one, absolutely no one or any tactics out there could ever stop Lionel Messi. The 8 Balon Dor awards don't lie
Xabi also a good player, and now he can proof that he is also a good manager.
Saw a lot of videos like this where top managers talk about how it's impossible to defend against Lionel Messi. Like ancelotti , mourinho, pep and xabi 🔥
I used watch a lot of Prime Barca and especially El Clasico. It was insane how much Messi and Barca dominated in those matches. Messi at his prime on the ball would just make his opponents insecure. Will he dribble? Will he pass? Will he turn? Will he go left? Right? Will he feint? Will he just take a long distance shot? Will he outpace someone on the ball? He could do it all and that made him so dangerous. You just couldn't predict what he's do.
Messi causes his opponents to become mathematicians on pitch 😅😅😅. The metal torture is palpable 😂😂😂
Try to choke him, he dribbles past you; try to block angles, he executes a precise pass that most players cant even think of; leave him alone, he just runs in and scores the goal. The greatest player of all time
Messi was something special at prime ( a cr7 fan ) !!
Xavi Alonso was a wonderful player too. Top class player.
Xabi Alonso, what a terrific player. One of my all time favorites, being a culé. Him, Casillas, Raul, Ozil, and now Modric. Phenomenal players, can't hate them. Just a gentle reminder of how good Messi is though when greats like him and Ramos talk of Messi this way.

You have to admit that Messi is a nightmare 😂
"With Messi we loose always, we did not have to do anything. He is god"
“Xabi, it’s about to get Messi”
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho added an additional warning: "Against Messi one on one, you're dead".
People dont realize that without the ball, messi is ready to run, play one-two and get players out of position. If he get the ball, he could bamboozle players. You can only contain messi. You cannot tackle or stop him. His spatial and tactical awareness is impeccable.
