Its been a really good run for you guys. No shame bowing out here against this team.Welp
Messi is wonderful, but you don’t have to call everything he does “genius” especially when it isn’t. What he just did there was not genius.
:dierpochhug:Welp
My take is the keeper comes out to make a challenge, fails to get a touch, and impedes the player, who has both made a controlled touch and a shot on target. I see it as a pen, and especially so based on some of the weak ones earlier in the tournament.
Messi turning back the clock with his physicality on that run.Sent Gvardiol to the cleaners and said young man you still got a lot to learn.
What's incredible for me is just how perfect he is at the basics and fundamentals.
Never seems to even over hit a pass let alone fluff one or bobble on along. First touch always immaculate.
That in itself is the genius.
