Once again Mythi fails against an Italian side.

After making a show of yourself after the European Cup final back in June, you really should leave this one alone.

Messi has only scored in one game from play in the 11 times he has face Italian opposition. That’s my point and that is irrefutable. This is the guy who is meant to be the best in the world but seems to come up short against Italian opposition.

You might want to digest this information in relation to your irrefutable point about Messi scoring in one game from play in the 11 times he has faced Italian opposition.

Here’s some goal footage from the 2012/13 last 16 tie between Bareclona & Milan. You’ll find Messi scoring the first and second goals from play as Barcelona won 4-0.

Here’s some goal footage from Barcelona’s 3-1 win over Milan in last season’s tournament. You’ll find Messi scoring the third goal from play.

Here’s Messi’s equaliser at the San Siro in the return leg against Milan in last season’s tournament. You’ll find that was from open play as well.

You should really stop spreading erroneous falsehoods about Lionel Messi, the worlds greatest player and take your beating with some level of dignity.

So it’s in fact 3 games in 13 as opposed to 1 in 11. I forgot about last year.
