Lionel Messi - Best Performances 2020/2021 - THREAD:

Incredible display vs Celta at Balaidos, forced an own goal after an impressive dribble and was heavily involved in the 3rd goal after getting past two players with ease and forcing a shot save which ended in a goal. 

Great dribbling show vs Real Madrid, and created the 1st goal after a lob pass to Alba.

MOTM performance vs Ferencvaros, caused a penalty after a sublime run to the box, and assisted Dembele's goal. His dribbling and passing was good.

MOTM performance in the CL vs Juventus, tremendous dribbling and passing display.
Created the 1st goal after a mind-blowing switch play pass to Dembele who managed to put the ball into the net. Leo scored a goal himself at the end to finish the game.

MOTM performance vs Ecuador, scored the 1st and only goal of the match. Was very good overall too.

Sublime playmaking display vs Bolivia, great dribbling too, was also the main architect in Argentina's 2nd and game winning goal.

With Barça drawing 1-1 and playing mediocre football, Messi comes on as a sub and completely changes the game. Pre-assisted Griezmann after a step-over dummy, and scored a brace himself. Barça won the game 5-2 in the end.

Good performance vs Paraguay, had a goal wrongly disallowed and hit the bar in a free-kick. Unlucky.

Superb playmaking and dribbling display vs Peru, also that lovely outside of the foot pass at 3:40

MOTM performance vs Dynamo Kyiv, marvelous dribbling and passing display by Leo. That dribble at 2:35 though Also scored a goal.

Barça's best player on the pitch vs Atleti, had some great passes which weren't converted by his teammates. Let down.

Best player on the pitch vs Juve at home. Unlucky not to score.

One of his best performances this season, absolute mind-boggling passing display, also scored a great outside of the box goal. Tribute to Diego Maradona.

Brilliant performance vs Cadiz, forced an own goal after a great pass to Alba, some of his other passes weren't converted.. great dribbling too.

Great passing display vs Levante, scored the game-winner and won 3 points for Barça.

Leo was heavily involved in both goals against Sociedad, which won Barça the 3 points.

A spectacular performance by Leo vs Valladolid, assisted Lenglet for the 1st goal with a great cross, pre-assisted Braithwate for the 2nd goal and scored a goal himself at the end after a great Pedri assist.

Possibly his best performance this season, created Pedri's goal after an mind-blowing lob pass to De Jong. Scored two beautiful goals, hit the post once, had some couple of insane touches and dribbles.

Another stupendous performance in 2021 vs Granada, scored a brace including a brilliant free-kick, was great in general play too.

A brilliant performance vs Vallecano away CDR, scored a goal and pre-assisted De Jong's goal after a wonderful chip pass to Alba.

Superb performance vs Bilbao again, had some incredible touches and dribbles, and scored a staggering free-kick.

Monstrous performance by Leo, he was the main architect behind the comeback.
Assisted Griezmann for the first goal, and pre-assisted Alba after a mind-blowing pass to Griezmann.
Forced a shot save which De Jong scored and had a hand on the 5th goal.

Another extraordinary performance by Messi, came on as a sub with Barça in defeat and scored within 2 minutes. Pre-assisted Alba for the own goal and had a hand on the 3rd as well. His passing was unbelievable.

END OF THREAD.

He's the best player in the world this season. Nobody comes even remotely close. He's in a different planet.
