Barca v. Man U: 5 things you have not been told to look for yet

Messi doesn’t dive

Many column inches have been dedicated to the fact that “Messi doesn’t dive.” To a certain extent this is absolutely true; Messi doesn’t dive because when he has the ball the last thing he wants to do is stop play and take a free kick.

Think about it. When was the last time that you [...]

A look at the opposition: Barcelona and Lionel Messi

StrettyNews.com contributor Ronen Dorfan has written another fantastic article, this time it’s about our opposition’s best player, Leo Messi. It is quite natural to wonder if modern football can actually produce a superstar of the magnitude of Pele, Cruyff, Maradona or Puskas.
