Messi was the most dangerous player on the pitch by a mile. Aguerro was completely off the mark today and squandered a few chances. Messi could have scored the goal of the tournament was it not for a good save. The assist for the second goal was inch perfect. Cant wait to have him back. The prospect of Messi linking up with our reinvigorated team is quite exciting!!
