Maradona won the best player of the award in the 1986 World Cup. Maradona's performance against England in the 1986 world cup always be remembered. Maradona scored a goal with his hand against England's goalkeeper Peter Shilton. He dedicated this goal to the hand of God.

and his other goal in the game was voted as the goal of the century. after getting pass inside his own half, Maradona dribbled at full speed past four England players, and with a crazy move, he rolled a ball into the net from a very hard position to score. Argentina defeated Germany in the final.

He led his team to another final in the next world cup but Argentina lost to Germany 1-0.


Maradona won 2 Serie A titles with Napoli in 1987 and 1990.

Lionel Messi is one of the greatest football of all time. He plays for Barcelona from his childhood, Barcelona is the main reason for the development of the Messi as a footballer. Messi achieved many things with Barcelona and he gave many magical moments to Barcelona. 


But now all things look different for Barcelona and their captain Lionel Messi. Messi's decision to leave Barcelona put the whole football world in shock. Messi is frustrated with Barcelona after humiliating loss to Bayern Munich 8-2 in the UCL and they also lost La Liga title to their arch-rival Real Madrid where they are favorite to win a title and they also was top of the table when football resumed after coronavirus pandemic. Barcelona was not doing well in recent years. Messi declared his decision to leave Barcelona as per reports. 


Already Messi is 33 years old, There are many footballs left in him and which team doesn't want to sign Messi.  


PSG's coach already said after UCL loss," He is very welcome, very welcome, Which coach says no to Messi." 


This means if Messi's decision to play with PSG is happening than PSG would like to get him but PSG's top priority would be defense, They would like to add more defense in PSG's team. 


Messi achieved many things under the Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola when he was with Barcelona. So Messi would like to play with his former coach who is best suited for him and his one of the best friends is in Manchester City- Sergio Aguero. 


Messi has a contract until 2021 but he is not happy with the club and he already gave his decision to leave Barcelona. Barcelona is fully aware that the clause which allows Messi to leave for free expired on June 10. Barcelona now able to hold him until the Messi's 


Messi won 34 trophies in Barcelona, 6 Ballon d'Or, 6 European Golden Boot, and 7 Pichichi. Messi scored 634 goals and made 256 assists which means 890 goals and assists for Barcelona. He played 731 games for Barcelona in from them he started in 649 games for Barcelona. He won 513 games, lost 83, and 135 came with no result. This all stats show how much Messi is important for Barcelona. If Messi will leave Barcelona and join other clubs like Manchester City or PSG or Mancher United than it would be great for those clubs which will sign him If this happens and he will leave a big hole in Barcelona.

Bayern Munich's outstanding performance put Barcelona in the dust.

In this game, it looks like there is no Messi in a game and Barcelona's defense getting older. They had no chance against Bayern Munich's offense who scored so many goals this season. This is the first time Barcelona conceded four goals in the first half for the first time ever and Thomas Muller is the only player to score 6 goals against Barcelona at UCL.

Barcelona will face Bayern Munich to take place in the Semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. In the UEFA Champions League Barcelona has not good records against Bayern Munich when they faced each other in the UEFA Champions League. Barcelona lost 5 games to Bayern in the UCL and won only 2 games. 


They met each other in the UEFA Champions league 5 years ago where Barcelona won the first league of Semifinals with 3-0 and lost another semifinals 3-2 but advanced into the Finals with an aggregate of 5-3 and that year Barcelona won their last UCL title after that they were unable to do it again. 


Bayern Munich won their last UEFA Champions League title in 2013 when they beat Borrusia Dortmund.

 

Bayern is playing so great and Barcelona is not :


After a Long Time, These two teams will face each other in the UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich already clinched Bundesliga and DFB Cup and now they will try to win UEFA Champions League to complete the Treble. Meanwhile, Barcelona lost La Liga to their arch Rival Real Madrid where they were favorite to win La Liga season after resuming a season but they played very bad and lost it. This season is not good for Barcelona and They will like to end their season by winning UCL title.


Bayern is in great form this season, Their unbeaten run extended to 27 games. RB Leipzig is the only team that was able to stop Bayern from scoring. Bayern scored 86 goals in these 27 games and giving away only 20 goals. Bayern won all their first 8 games in UEFA Champions League and they netted 31 goals in the competition. 


Messi is not the one who used to be and Robert Lewandowski is superb for Bayern 


Robert Lewandowski did a great job this season for Bayern Munich, He scored 53 goals in 44 games for Bayern Munich. In UEFA Champions League, Robert Lewandowski scored 13 goals, 3 goals more than second numbered Erling Haaland. In Bayern match u against Chelsea, Robert Lewandowski involved in all 7 goals where they won fixture by 7-1. Robert Lewandowski scored three goals in games against Chelsea. 


Messi scored many goals this season for Barcelona in La Liga where they lost the title to Real Madrid. Messi scored only 3 goals in this year's UEFA Champions League which was lowest by him. Messi scored 31 goals this season and assisted as many as 27 times in all competitions. Lio Messi scored 25 goals in La Liga.   


Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal will be back from suspension and their star defender Umtiti is injured so he will miss. Dembele is back in training with Barcelona. 


Battle Between Goalkeeper: Neuer or Marc-Andre Ter Stegen


Neuer is already 34 years old and he is playing his best football at this age. In Bundesliga Neuer have most clean sheets with 15. 


Marc-Andre Ter Stegen also have14 clean cheats out of 36 games which is a very good thing for Barcelona. 


Bayern supporting cast doing a wonderful job this season where Thomas Muller made 21 assists this season only Lionel Messi is the one who is ahead of him in assist. 


For Barcelona, There are many stars in their line up who can give a win to Barcelona on their given day but they are not in a great form this season which could trouble Barcelona. 


The good news for Barcelona is that Messi played like his old self in a game against Napoli.
