Spanish teams are stronger than their Italian counterparts, so if those teams are for lulz, what do we say about Serie A teams?
I'd argue that last 7-8 La Liga clubs (Messi's preferred targets for pumping up stats) aren't stronger than their Italian counterparts. They might even be weaker. But this again has nothing to do with the post you quoted. Can one say that dislikes Messi and eventhough he's one of the best players that has ever played, his style of football isn't nearly as exciting as some of the greats of the past, without bringing Italian clubs into it?

He's scored more than 20 goals against Real Madrid(more than any other player in classico history), and has a similar number of goals against Sevilla, Valencia, and co. So that statement of yours is absolutely not true.

As for the bolded, ya, theres nothing to argue about if you acknowledge his quality. Your comment about how he scores only against the small teams doesn't give one the impression that you concede that he's one of the best to ever play the game. If you acknowledge that, then ya whether you think he's entertaining or not is a matter of taste.

Messi has been exceptionally poor when facing Italian opposition though.

In any case I don't really see the argument here. Messi scores 50 goals a season. So does Ronaldo. There's no denying that they are great players.

Meanwhile Barcelona with Messi, Neymar and Suarez failed to score even one against Malaga at home.
But no one will say its because Malaga are being strong opponents, La Liga is a good league. Only the opposite LOLliga BS is said instead when barca rapes their opponents, as they generally would vs majority of teams in any of the top leagues.

That too.

But with that trident they should score at least one vs any team in the world.

But all of that stuff was nonsense to begin with.

when Barcelona wins against small teams it's a shit league. but when they do lose it's such a competitive championship. talk about double standards.
It's just different people coming out with their opinions. Now those who think La Liga is shitty just don't post anything.

But Messi wouldn't be able to score +30 goals in Serie A.
Sincerly doubt he'd be able to score that amount. Still fair to say he would be by far the best player in any case, but the metality of the teams is very different in Italy, as most of these low ranked teams defend in numbers with very little ambition to create something noteworthy in the final 3rd.
