El Classico

Geoff you need to produce evidence now or shut up. Nembo has categorically stated on here that Messi can’t do it against Italian sides. If you have any stats or video evidence to debunk this, then stick it up.

I’m highlighting the @Nembo_Kid tactic of using lies/false facts, whatever you want to call them to advance his arguments. The discussion on Messi the day after Barcelona beat Juventus in the 2015 European Cup Final is a classic case in point.

[quote=“Nembo_Kid, post:153, topic:20546”]You’re shifting the goalposts. 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.

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 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.
