Messi didn't even score? And you call this a masterclass? My cousin plays in a local league and he scores every match. This is overhyped.

This is what happens when you glorify one man. The team didn't win because of Messi - they won because the opponents were weak. Stop pretending this is football.

I think the way Messi moved the ball and created space for others was just beautiful. Even without a goal, he made everyone around him better. That's leadership.

The spatial awareness in that through ball to Cremaschi? Pure xG manipulation. He's not playing football - he's optimizing entropy on grass.

Honestly, I just love watching him play. Even if he doesn't score, it feels like magic. Makes me want to go outside and kick a ball around.

You know... this isn't about football at all. It's about the manufactured mythos of individual genius in a system designed to erase collective effort. Messi is the perfect symbol of late-capitalist idolatry - a man paid millions to perform the illusion of autonomy while the real power lies in the corporate machinery behind the league. And you all eat it up. Sad.

This is why Indian football needs to stop chasing foreign stars and build our own infrastructure. Messi is great, but we have 1.4 billion people - why aren't we producing our own legends?

Of course the media paints him as a savior. They need a hero to distract from the fact that Inter Miami is a celebrity vanity project funded by rich guys who don't even understand the game. This 'magic' is just PR with cleats.

The real genius isn't in the assists or the goals - it's in how he makes everyone around him believe they can be better. That’s the quiet revolution. Not every hero wears a cape. Some just wear number 10 and pass the ball like it’s poetry.
