What Lionel Messi did during against Croatia is rarely seen from him
While CristianoRonaldo has scored four goals in Portugal’s opening two matches, Lionel Messi’s Argentina are on the brink of elimination.Messi missed a penalty as Argentina drew their first match against Iceland 1-1.Then, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was anonymous as Jorge Sampaoli’s side were thrashed 3-0 by Croatia.Even beating Nigeria next week might not be enough to qualify.How can this happen to a side that boasts the likes of Sergio Aguero, Angel di Maria and Messi?But not even Messi could bail his nation out of this one.Maybe the pressure of having the weight of an entire country on his shoulders is proving too much.That certainly seemed the case during the national anthem with Messi looking extremely stressed before kick-off.And his sulking continued on the pitch.Messi is considered a relatively calm person and rarely shows his emotions both on and off the pitch.However, he couldn’t contain that in the 73rd-minute when he clashed with Ivan Strinić.Strinić fouled Messi and the superstar really take too kindly to it. He stood up and, with his opponent on the floor, pushed him hard to show his displeasure.VIDEO: MESSI LOST HIS HEADMr. Perfect is angry 😂😭 #Messi #Rakitic #ARGCRO pic.twitter.com/kzsxusAh16— AJ_ (@Adiana28_) June 21, 2018Read more...

Bayern Munich takes on Borussia Mönchengladbach.<a href="https://as.com/futbol/2021/01/07/primera/1610012265_482936.html?id_externo_rsoc=CM_ES_TW">Alaba’s proposal to Madrid (AS)</a><a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> defender David Alaba is widely assumed to be leaving Germany this summer, but his salary demands appear to be a big roadblock. <a href="https://www.managingmadrid.com">Real Madrid</a> are allegedly the frontrunners to sign Alaba, but the player’s initial demands are too high at this point. What exactly is he supposedly asking for? Well, here you go:Alaba wants a salary of 12 million and a signing bonus of, at least, 20 million more. Everything is up in the air until Ramos’ future is known, but in the meantime, the other teams that want Alaba (PSG, Barça, City, United and Liverpool) are putting pressure on him.At €12 million per year with a €20 million bonus, it is no wonder why Real Madrid is thinking it will circle back on the Austrian once it knows the future plans of Sergio Ramos.

There was no word on whether a signing bonus was included:(Liverpool) have apparently matched Real Madrid in putting forward a contract worth €10million, with the defender free to find a new club as his current deal with the European champions expires this summer. This report is said to come from Goal’s <a href="https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com">Juventus</a> correspondent Romeo Agresti. Juventus were also interested but it is believed they cannot offer as much as the English and Spanish sides.

Real Madrid v Paris Saint-Germain: Round Of Sixteen Leg Two - UEFA Champions LeaguePhoto by David Ramos/Getty ImagesMaybe Barca can finally beat Eintracht Frankfurt!A bit overkill, don’t you think?Yesterday, Argentinian journalist Veronica Brunati announced the return of Leo Messi to FC Barcelona. Of course that report was quickly denied by journalists with better connections in the industry, but who cares? If you clicked on this, you’re here to engage in a time-honored Bayern Munich tradition of clowning the lesser FCB whatever chance we get. So strap in, folks. Let’s look at this rumor.1 de julio de 2023, Lionel #Messi será jugador del Barça.— Veronica Brunati (@verobrunati) October 4, 2022July 1, 2023, Lionel #Messi will be a Barça player.To add some context, Veronica Brunati is an Argentinian journalist working for Mundo Deportivo who is considered decently reliable. According to her report, Leo Messi will not extend his contract with PSG and leave at the end of this season. How would Barca pay for this operation? Not even god knows, but Laporta does.Of course, Barcelona seem to be headed for the Europa League at this point, so who can say if this move will materialize? A second consecutive season of dropping down into the Europa would have Barca selling the shirts off their players’ backs just to keep the lights on. Is that the kind of environment Messi wants to walk into? Who knows ... maybe playing in a Farmers League with Neymar and Mbappe just isn’t doing it for him anymore.If he did move to Barca, then they’d have to be a favorite for next season’s Champions League title for sure! Oh wait, they said that this year, after Laporta pulled a dozen levers and splashed €200m in the transfer market. Now they’ve lost to an Inter Milan side who are 9th in Serie A, and got trounced by a Bayern Munich team who struggle to score against Augsburg.Something isn’t right at Barcelona, and Leo Messi won’t fix it. It might have something to do with the coach. Xavi Hernandez has the patented “Barca DNA”, but he’s a couple of bad draws away from being labelled a Paella Lampard. You probably don’t want to entrust your Ferrari of a superclub to a man who starts Marcos Alonso in key UCL games. That kind of thing can only end badly. Then again, maybe the President is to blame, or the club members who elected and enabled him. The saga of FC Barcelona runs deep.Anyway, we’ll watch this show with great interest. When UEFA inevitably pairs Barca and Bayern in the same group for the third season running, we’ll be there to slap some sense into them one more time. It really never gets old.Interested in some actual football discussion? Why not check out our postgame review of Bayern Munich’s 5-0 win over Viktoria Plzen? It’s got actual content, very little snark. Listen to it below or on Spotify.As always, we appreciate all the support!
