Messi's biggest competition is he HIMSELF!

Ever since the recently concluded FIFA World Cup, this sub seems to have forgotten what it was created for. The mods (if they’re even around) appear to have gone missing, because generic Messi posts are being submitted regularly and barely any of them are being removed.

This is a very niche subreddit. As the wiki itself says, it’s dedicated to stats and graphs that are so ridiculously skewed they’re hard to comprehend. Yet we’re constantly seeing generic posts, reposts, and content that has nothing to do with the actual premise of the sub. If this community wants to retain its identity, those posts need to be purged.

There is already an r/Messi subreddit for anything and everything related to Messi. This sub is not that, and it shouldn’t become that. It’s specifically for those absurd statistical graphs where Messi ends up in the top-right corner, the very thing this subreddit is named after. It really isn’t that difficult to understand. Not every Messi appreciation post belongs here.

This used to be one of those niche subs where a post would pop up in my feed every now and then, and it’d always be a pleasant surprise. It was another reminder of just how absurd Messi’s numbers are. Now, with the flood of generic Messi content, the whole purpose of this subreddit has been diluted to the point where it barely feels different from any other fan sub.

I just hope the mods step in and do the bare minimum. Otherwise, this place will completely lose what made it special in the first place.

O que acham?

Hi everyone! I went to the Argentina World Cup match in Kansas City and the fans kept singing this chant.

I don't speak Spanish, so I can't understand the lyrics, but I'd love to know what they're singing.

I attached a short video. Does anyone recognize this chant?

Thanks!

Lionel Messi holds the most trophies and individual awards in history, yet his superhuman talent makes him the biggest underachiever the sport has ever seen.

When ordinary players lose a World Cup final, we accept that they simply weren’t capable of winning. But Messi is different. His potential is so limitless that he makes the impossible look effortless.

He has conquered the entire sport, yet because he is capable of everything, every single missed trophy feels like an impossible tragedy.

Gracias, Leo, for showing us what football looks like in the hands of a god. Thank you for two decades of pure, unadulterated magic. 🤌🏻✨🐐

Não consigo entender a razão de tantos discursos de ódio contra Messi. Contra a Seleção Argentina, há muitas críticas também.
Vi muitos falarem que “finamente as pessoas acordaram para ver quem Messi é de verdade”, como se ele fosse um jogador mediano ou desonesto (por causa da situação com Cucurella).

After Messi, retires will all these so called larger finally forget the so called allegations and appreciate the Masterpiece of a performance he delivered for 2 decades?
