Lionel Andres Messi

Vidal was the best Barca player on show by a huge distance last night.

but you think he did nothing? He was directly involved in all three goals and ran Juventus ragged. They couldn’t deal with him. This was a champions league final.

He’s scored in two other ones.

That’s a serious row back from you. I thought his performance for a finish yesterday was terrible. Standing around with his hands on his hips. He’s meant to be the senior player on the squad and acted like a spoilt child. I adore Messi but I’d have question marks over him now tbh.

I think he was way below the standard I’d expect from a player regarded as the best ever.

Way below it and he’s been way below it when he has played for Argentina and in recent seasons in the do or die CL games for Barca.

In the opening half Vidal was a leader at least. Thought he went of a bit early.

Should have been Rakitic that went off.

Vidal ran around the place like a headless chicken, for fuck sake.

You clearly haven’t the foggiest what you’re on about, he was a one man team for Barca in the first half.

Take it up with @anon32894817 pal, he’s the one posting articles that messi was the best barca player last night

Row back? On what, I commented on the article you posted.

he gave the ball away more than any other Barca player (from deep). That’s murder in an away tie for Barca, especially against Liverpool who spring counters.

He was charging out of the line in midfield, trying to make hero tackles, leaving gaps and exposing his defense.

He was absolutely fucking awful

No he didn’t.

he passed up a goal when he tried to pass, all he had to do was shoot. After he was put in one on one, by you guessed it, Lionel Messi

Vidal has been a serial failure in Europe

He said he’d donate his testicles if Barcelona lost last night

No balls

Messi passed up a goal in the first half too when Alba squared it back to him, he scores that and it’s game over.

Not what you expect of the best player to ever play the game, it’s what you expect from a guy who has choked more crucial big international games than I care to remember.

So you admit again you judge him differently to everyone else. You actually judge him as the best player in the World. But you refuse to admit he’s the best player in the World.

Round and round the garden

Searching for a farthing.

One step, two step,

Three step, tickley everwhere!

Why wouldn’t you?

You would have to expect more from a player who is meant to be the best, meant to be the greatest but doesn’t even look near the top 5 on the pitch.

he wasn’t at Barca. He had a fine first 3 or 4 months at Barca and then was pretty average for the most part and more often than not a let down, but injury did not help. Pedro and Alexis Sanchez were first choice ahead of him for two of his three years there.

An excellent player for Valencia and Spain, he was a big letdown at Barca for the most part.

He was outstanding that season they beat united. Scored an incredible goal in that champions league final. He broke his leg that summer I think but I’m open to correction on that. He definitely suffered from injuries after that season anyway.

He had half a good season there and his form dipped dramatically the second half of that first season. That was about it. He would not have been seen as a success or a key player in that side by barca fans and he certainly wasn’t incredible for a few seasons like you said.
