“As Messi nears retirement”: Fans react as Messi is seen inactive on the pitch during Inter Miami’s loss
Lionel Messi didn’t shine in the recent match against Charlotte, and some fans observed him seemingly coasting through the game, particularly in relation to the offside trap.
Critics of Messi were quick to voice their opinions:
💠Jake: “Man is a fraud.”
💠Penzy: “We’re watching a man about to retire.”
💠Arturo: “Sure, but when he gets the ball and scores a banger, all of a sudden the game’s rigged.”
However, these comments were met with a thoughtful response:
💠Marv: “Not his fault he’s like 20 seconds ahead of everyone on the pitch, so he already knows what they’re going to do, hence conserving energy by paying more attention.”
💠Ridha: “Messi has begun to divide his efforts because he can no longer bear to play the entire match with the same effort.”
💠Enkay: “Messi has absolutely nothing left to prove as far as football is concerned. He ended that debate in December when he captained Argentina to the World Cup triumph.”
Later this month, Messi is set to officially win his 8th Ballon d’Or award, further solidifying his status as one of the greatest footballers in history, with no other player having won more than five.
