Was Xavi's reign at FC Barcelona succesful?
Yerry Mina kicking Lionel Messi's injured left ankle after the play had already been stopped during the game between Argentina and Colombia.
This could suggest why the Argentine Captain was so furious at the Colombian Dancer after the penalty shootout!
๐ฃ๏ธ UEFA Technical Observer panel:
ยซ Lionel Messi controlled the game from the start to finish. He has put in a masterclass performance for the Wembley crowd, he was a joy to watch. ยป
๐ฃ๏ธ Ronald Araรบjo: โGavi has no hatred towards any opponent, it's just that he has an intense style of play. He even kicks us even during training.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Mohamed Aboutrika (BeIN):
โWhen some players miss penalty kicks, they can disappear from the match, but Messi was the opposite, and after he missed the penalty kick, he was the player who touched the ball the most.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Lionel Messi: โThe attackers should not only attack, and the defenders should not only defend. This is what will allow us to form a competitive team that aspires to win the Champions League and all the titles.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Lionel Messi: โIt doesn't matter who you are or where you are from or how crazy your dream is; you have to pursue it with passion to achieve everything you want.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Xavi: โGavi receives the ball a lot, but he does not loft his head to look and bumps into others. He must improve, but he is still only 17 years old and cannot be criticized.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Jordi Cruyff: โEveryone will talk about the Pedri nutmeg, but I preferred the moment when he passed the ball to Dembรฉlรฉ and then the attack ended with Luuk's goal.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Leo Messi to Luis Suarez after his move to his boyhood club Nacional:
โYou know I love you so much, now weโre going to follow Nacional because of you. I wish you all the best.โ
โMbappรฉ or Haaland, who would you rather train?โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Xavi: โThese are just hypotheses, right now I have to coach Ansu, Pedri and Busquets.โ
๐ฃMemphis Depay: โXavi has changed the way we train and now we have more discipline. We are all involved with the team and it shows that the rival defense doesn't know how to stop us.โ
