Polo 1,435 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 If I remember correctly Messi was in Papac's back pocket. My lasting memory of that game was when Ronaldinho pinged a cross-field ball from left to right to Messi. With Papac bombing out to close him down Messi effortlessly took the ball down and megged Papac in one movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimmerman 40 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Is it judged on how they performed against us, or just how good their career was?For example, Messi was pretty quiet against us, but he has had a better career than most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
