                  HAPPY 32nd  LIONEL MESSI!                 The man, the myth...the legend of his own making, the dominating force of our time, the freak of nature who defies science, logic, gravity and our general sense of all that is normal : Lionel Messi has defeated the trappings of his own body from birth, battled and overcame debilitating muscular injuries at the beginning of his career, and triumphed over unceasing doubt from the day he decided to kick a ball to the current juncture at which we stand.           After 687 appearances, 603 career Barcelona goals and 308 assists, 68 international goals and nearly 50 Argentina assists, 4 Champions League titles, habitual domestic dominance and 4 international finals (3 in 3 years from 2014-2016), a plethora of individual awards, broken records no one may ever touch....and yet somehow the man still can't seem to ca...

               Whoever isn't excited for this tie is NOT a football fan...two of the most successful European clubs of all time, the two most attractive playing styles, the mysticism of the Camp Nou and the bright lights of European nights at Anfield, ex-teammates battling against each other...      Perhaps you'd be more interested in the NBA Playoffs?      Pfff...right...       ....you have Lionel Messi playing against one of the few clubs he's never scored against (in only two tries), you've got Jurgen Klopp on one side with his festive grins and aggressive leadership, the athleticism of Liverpool's front three facing off against the guile, experience and craft of Barcelona's trident in quite the showdown of attacking prowess, with two starters for Barcelona being former Liverpool stars Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez (perhaps even legends of the English club), both players leaving in a c...
