"Leaving Barcelona was so hard, but I'm so happy to join Paris Saint-Germain, an ambitious club with a top team."- Leo Messi (source: Champions League)  Crashing economy at FC Barcelona ensures Leo Messi is no longer a one-club man. The move to PSG is perhaps, the best thing that could have happened to him in this uncertainty.  He is now reunited with his best friend Neymarjr. Although it would be unfathomable to watch Leomessi in a non- Barcelona shirt (excluding Argentina, of course) and that too without a number 10 below his name; the entire world can still descry the attacking trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe take charge against the strongest defences in Europe.  It would be a bliss if this trio clicks. Hope for the best future possible at PSG.  😢 ➡️ 😀  Image Credits: PSG, Barcelona, Transfermarket  -Written by Dibyendu Maji (aka Kris) on 11.08.21 

As a Brazil supporter I did want the likes of Neymarjr and Richarlison to wear that gold medal and run across the ground enthusiastically creating an exquisite moment, but in the end it was Leo Messi and Angel Di Maria who got to share that moment as Neymar was left behind in tears. The 🇧🇷 winger deserved gold after missing out on his team's victory in the 2019 #copaamerica on account of injury, and especially after the tremendously affluent performance he showcased in this season of the Copa including the grand finals. But he did not deserve it more than the 🇦🇷 skipper, one of the two GOAT s to have ever played the game of football.  Messi with a brilliant record of 4 ⚽ and 5 🅰️ in this competition for ARG, has been absolutely emphatic on the ground. His awesome playmaking abilities has always been appreciated, as we all have witnessed him make those in a 🔵🔴 shirt. But we hardly spied any appreciable performance from him in 🔵⚪ for any such performance never met...

If you ask, what determination and hunger can make do, I'll just show you this match. 2017 witnessed the biggest comeback in the UCL, in the history of Football. Fc Barcelona were down by 4 goals against PSG from the first leg and the quarters were looking too far away. It did so until the 86th minute of this match as well when Barca were up by 3-1 but trailing in the aggregate score by 5-3, until Neymar Jr, the prince of football, showed up and turned the game around completely. The very next minute saw a beautifully taken free kick by Neymar enhance the scoreline for the cules. Just in the nick of the 90th minute, Suarez obtained a penalty for Neymar who scored perfect. Barca had tied the scores but would still lose the spot in the quarters to PSG on account of away goals. It was in the final minute of the extra time when even Ter-Stegen, the Barca goalkeeper had come up to add to the attack. He procured a free kick that was soon taken. That was the last effort Barca ...

The team with the most net ins (goals) wins.  Formations :  The Eleven players constitute the goalkeeper and ten players who can be set up in various formations arranged in the defence, midfield and attack. The most used formations are 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and the 4-5-1. Formations are also coated with a play control strategy that implies if the team approaches to put more emphasis on attack or hold. For example, the 4-5-1 attack would pick three attacking midfielders that would push hard on attack and fall back but upto the midline if possession is lost, and two centra...
