I mean bro is manhandling opponents and calling them “bobo” and stuff 😂. Like as a Barca fan who’s watched him my whole life, I’m not going to say he was timid his whole career, but this dude is a whole new person from the guy who lost the WC in '14.
What happened?
I love Messi, I genuinely believe he is one of the best players to ever grace the game.
But to believe he is some humble “saint” is naïvety at best. He has always been very aggressive when he is frustrated (remember when he kicked the ball with full intensity and hit a fan point blank in stands at Saint Bernabéu? It was an extremely dick move), and it usually goes under radar because he isn’t always so much intensive as compared to his other colleagues and perhaps his rival.
Getting angry and being humble doesn’t really have anything to do with each other tho. Sure messi can get angry but he never brags about his skills. He’s humble imo but also very passionate
