Ronaldinho was booed in the ECL game, so Messi is trying to support him by saying he is still the best player in the world, he is very important for the team, etc... Quote:
Messi sale en defensa de Ronaldinho

BARCELONA—Lionel Messi fue el gran artĂ*fice de la victoria del Barcelona por 3-0 ante Lyon en la primera fecha de la Liga de Campeones, pero al dĂ*a siguiente el atacante argentino tuvo que salir en defensa de su compañero brasileño Ronaldinho.
El opaco rendimiento del brasileño ha sido blanco de crĂ*ticas por parte de la prensa y algunos aficionados en el Camp Nou le silbaron en un partido en el que fue reemplazado por AndrĂ©s Iniesta a falta de casi 20 minutos para el final.
"Yo creo que el pĂşblico está con Ă©l y, si no es asĂ*, tendrĂ*a que estarlo por todo lo que ha dado al club", afirmĂł Messi, citado por la agencia Europa Press. "Para mĂ*, sigue siendo el mejor del mundo y para nosotros es un jugador importantĂ*simo, fundamental dentro del equipo".
"Cuando Ronaldinho rinde es cuando mejor funciona el equipo, ya que da mucha movilidad", sostuvo Messi.
En otro sentido, el argentino afirmó que no piensa en la posibilidad de ser premiado este año con el Balón de Oro y valoró el buen nivel mostrado en la victoria del Lyon tras un flojo arranque en la liga española, marcado por dos empates en tres fechas.
"Tal vez no venĂ*amos jugando bien y este resultado nos indica que Ă©ste es el camino a seguir", afirmĂł. "Si el equipo está bien y con confianza, no tenemos que dudar porque sabemos que podemos llevarnos siempre el triunfo". | |

Andy and PMLF. Barça players don’t want a mate wearing the number 13 because of superstition iirc.
PMLF, the numbers 3 was assigned to Gabriel Milito.
Francis, Assulin’s name is correctly spelt on the official site AFAIK but they made a mistake in the dob because he is 16. BTW, Assulin rejected a much better offer from Chelsea to stay at Barça, it’s good to know that he has feelings and isn’t a professional like some Catalan/Barça fan that would play for Real Madrid.
There are several mistakes in the db of the game tbh, mainly regarding accents (Krkić) and common names (Thiago Alcántara isn’t known as Thiago). Dos Santos’s name is Giova ni, not Giovanni although it’s a common mistake in the media. I don't want to comment their atributes and their P/CAs...
BTW, Apparently Arsenal are after Juan Carlos TerrĂłn, a 15 yo centre back from Juvenil B. His agent is Joseba DĂ*az, the same agent of the professional one. It’s only a rumour but...
Re the CL game, Barça played well as a unit but some players didn’t play that well, especially Ronaldinho and Henry.

Well, they are good friends. Messi is Barça’s best player though.

| I assume so although Barça never have 25 players, normally 21/22, so it's not a problem.

The second goal was fab, just looked so easy. Henry to Messi, to Ronnie, who played a delightfull little flick back to Messi who just fired it into the corner of the net.
