Boooooooo $#@!ing hoooooooo, we are watching all time great and people still persist with this hatorade nonsense. Where was EVERYONE else in any final ever played? The better team won. Messi's insane level of football is dead obvious for anyone who clears the caca from their eyes.

He was being criticized when he was playing more as a midfielder and not scoring as much in first months of the season, then he does this in last months:
Goals in La Liga 2014-15:
22 Nov : Cristiano (20),
Messi (7)
15 Feb : Cristiano (28),
Messi (26)
In just few months. This past month alone since winter break he's on this streak:
Messi = 11 goals, 10 assists (a game less in hand)
Cronaldo + Benzema + Bale = 11 goals, 7 assists
I assume you understand spanish, what does this cholo say here?

This freakish genius only competition and comparison is with himself, the barr and standards others hold him up to, even haters like you, is ones he set himself, nothing else. He pretty much re-invents himself in tasks and roles he takes up, creatively, positionally and responsibility wise (taking on tasks Xavi and Iniesta used to do), static Barca of past couple years are running their asses off now and he is setting the tempo.
His understanding and linking with Neymar is fully gelling now, its extremely fun to see (Suarez is in the phase Neymar was last year, hustling around trying to understand how to fit in), far from boring. You look at just scores, prolly ignoring the freakish technical and skillfull ease he scores in, but most importantly, does everything else in (watch someone like CR barely able pass or dribble straight vs Cordoba or Granada, then Messi vs same teams or better ones, and its astounding people still dont realize who the clear superior player is).
This is far from boring (all from one game, and just little parts of the game too):
I sincerely hope you dont turn into those who fap over his genius when its too late, years after when he retired, because that seems to be just when some weirdo people can truly appriciate genial insane one of a kind legends like these. Sorta like waiting for an actor, writer or musician to die before truly showing them love.
Appriciate this level of football while you can dude, you will find extremely wanting the level of the game will be after he is gone, since it will be a while someone at this level pops up again.
