The True Cost of Lionel Messi’s Declaration of Independence

You know that article is 2 months old right?

SPOILER ALERT:

He stays.  Just like the last 3, or is it 4, times his dad declared independence just to get his son more money, and whatever the hell else he wants.

This time was different for various reasons too complicated to go into


I think he goes once his contract is up. He couldn’t leave a few months ago cause he was under contract. There was no contract improvement and Luis Suarez wasn’t retained so he didn’t get anything


I don’t think it matters all that much…Messi is now a good player but I don’t think he is the best anymore and hasn’t been for a while…

Father Time is undefeated

Messi should have left for Premier 3-4 years ago but obviously he was very comfortable in Barca and also let’s face it he became a family man

Budweiser has sent out a bottle to every goalkeeper Lionel Messi has scored against for his record 644 goals for Barcelona. They received a bottle for every goal Messi scored against them. Some received more than 1 bottle.

Every bottle is numbered with Messi's goal number.


Valencia Goalkeeper Diego Alves received 21 bottles

Great idea but beer is undrinkable


It makes me sad that Messi is on the downslope of his career

After Maradona I never thought I would see such a great player again… to see Messi for the past SEVENTEEN years has been a delight

Unlike Maradona he is a class act..unlike Maradona he maintained his excellence much longer…

I wonder if we will see a third greatest ever Argentine player? Odds are not in favor… it’s a miracle we got Messi

But Argentine kids keep playing

The team in the first photo should trade their blue shirt guy to the second team for their black shirt guy.

Just spent $60 on a box of Panini World Cup stickers….SIXTY!!

There better be a Mbappe, Neymar, Messi or Ronaldo in there…..

you were the mark in this scenario

I think you just bought a box of panineses.

No Messi panineses…..yet

I mean, I didn't see it, but it seems pretty clear Liverpool scored the lone touchdown in what was otherwise a tight-defensive football game.

Crazy things happen in premier league…

It’s exciting

I thought Man U was a little overrated and Liverpool underrated going in…but no way expecting that

I know.  I've never seen such hatred either....

Vansmarck, Guardiola has been silent all year long, but things have a limit. Mourinho has been like this since September, he has done a weak favor to football.  I predict that Mourinho won't have a place to coach in 5 years. he is killing his career, which is good for sport, but he is leaving a sad picture of what he brought to the game.
