Yahoo - Lionel Messi has provided countless moments of magic this season, but on Wednesday it was one glaring and uncharacteristic error that put Barcelona’s hopes of retaining the Champions League title in jeopardy.
Messi, the finest player in soccer and rapidly making his claim as an all-time great, was left furious with himself as his rare mistake led to the only goal of Barca’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the semifinal first leg.
Come-on now, blaming Messi for they loss no. are we.
The whole team missed oppurtunities from busquets to sanchez and messi. Mess was marked out of the game by 3 or 4 chelsea players.
there is no way messi will win the ballon dor this year. A player have no chance of winnnig it if his team doesnt win a league tiitle or CL title i the same year.
