There has been a storm on social media since last night. Barca salary agreement with Messi leaked. While many were shocked, the comments from the Argentine star's fans to the lion's share of the football field were "justified." Despite staying at Bar at night, there is talk of a leaked contract with Messi. And after Messi's eye-catching goal in the net of Athletic Bilbao, it is as if the drum has fallen home! Legendary England footballer and analyst Gary Lineker is another stick. "Maybe it's time to raise Messi's salary," he tweeted.
In this contract worth Rs 5,600 crore in four years, 'Messi deserves every penny' - that is the opinion of most. Last night's goal may be the latest proof of why Lenker's claim is worthy and why it is not unreasonable. Bilbao lost 2-1. Messi brought the first goal to Bar from a free kick in the 20th minute. The other goal was scored by Antoine Griezmann.
Messi got a free kick at 30 yards. Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simone made the usual human wall in front. As an extra precaution, the Bilbao goalkeeper also put defender Yerek on his left side. In a sense, there were two Bilbao goalposts. Since there was more space on Simon's right side, it was everyone's natural thought that Messi could take a shot with that direction.
But when you see the shot of the Bar star, you will feel that the geometry has been measured! Messi sent the ball to the net with a perfect shot in the direction that no one would think of sending the ball. Yere jumped to his left edge and tried to deflect the ball with his head. Didn't reach. The ball enters through a small space between his head, crossbar and post. Such goals are not seen every day. Messi answered everything on the field with one goal. Lineker therefore did not miss the opportunity to joke.
Barca will sue Spanish media outlet El Mundo for leaking the biggest deal in the world of sports (Messi). On this very day, Messi made a great milestone by becoming a Bar player. This was his 650th goal for Bar in all competitions. He scored 49 goals from free kicks, 36 of which were in La Liga.
On the same night, Messi's friend and former club teammate Luis Suarez also scored from a free kick for Atletico Madrid. The Uruguayan striker's pair of goals helped them to a 4-2 victory at. After the goal of a friend, Messi felt and it was not too late. The urge to answer and show to a friend seems to have woken up. And so the player who has scored a goal in 72 free kicks before, is the same player who has scored the second goal in the last four attempts. Messi's 600th goal for Bar was also from a free kick, in the net of Liverpool.
Considering the last five seasons in the top five leagues in Europe, no one has come close to Messi's goal from a free kick. The Argentine star has scored 21 goals from free kicks at this time. Alexander Kolarov is the second highest scorer with 6 goals. The club's financial debt is also one of the reasons behind the talk of enviable remuneration in the contract of such a player. Barsa has a debt of around 120 crore Euros. In four years, Messi's salary of 555 million euros (5800 crore in Bangladeshi currency) has raised eyebrows. However, this is a goal that is the answer to all criticism!
The two teams met for the third time in 28 days. Earlier this month, Barcelona won the league 3-2 at Bilbao. Bilbao beat them by the same margin in the Spanish Super Cup final two weeks ago. In addition to losing the Bar title, Argentine star Messi received a red card for the first time in his 18-year club career that day. That is why he was banned for two matches. All in all, the revenge was taken by Messi.
This was Barcelona's first match at home this year. The previous eight matches they played were outside New Camp. The team is in the top two of the league with 40 points in 20 matches. Real, the title-holder of the event, has dropped to three points behind in goal difference with equal points in the match. Atletico, who are at the top, have 50 points from 19 matches.
