Messi, El Hombre De Los 673 millones De Dólares, Encumbra Al Barcelona Con Un Tiro Libre De Museo

No hay que estar dentro de la cabeza de Lionel Messi para saber que el partido contra el Athletic Bilbao iba ser más extraño de lo normal.

O sea, $167 millones al año.

¿Suárez, Bravo y Vidal Fuera? El Polémico Equipo Ideal De La Conmebol En La Última Década

Cada vez que alguien hace un 11 ideal de la temporada, de la década o de la historia deja abierta la puerta de la polémica. ¿Por qué este jugador y no este otro? es la discusión típica. Pero pese a las diferencias, las elecciones suelen ser razonables. Caso distinto, sorpresivamente, es el equipo de la década de la Conmebol que la Federación Internacional de Historia y Estadística de Fútbol (IFFHS) publicó hace unos días. Hay tantas omisiones que uno no puede dejar de pensar que la persona que lo hizo tiene menos fútbol que la revista Vogue.

Lionel Messi Was Unspeakably Good In Barcelona’s Win Over Athletic Club

Maybe you were watching Manchester United vs. Manchester City in the Carabao Cup (why?). Maybe you were watching the fall of the U.S. Capitol (that’s more sensible).
