Lionel was the only one to change the shirts of the 22 footballers who were on the field of the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium
Statistics deny that the shaking of Leo Messi in the middle of a storm during the final stretch of the match against Real Madrid, when referee Gil Manzano stopped the match to replace the communication device with his assistants and the VOR room, has to do with a lost connection with the game of the Barcelona footballer.
The Argentinian hit the ball 99 times in the match, more than any Real Madrid player (the one who did the most was Luka Modric with 55) and the Barça team was only beaten by defenders Clément Lenglet and Jordi Alba, with 104 interventions each. one, according to the statistics website ‘WhoScored’.
This resulted in Messi had 6.7% of the ball possession in the total game, a figure also higher than that of any player in the whites. Luka Modric led this statistic with 4.2% at Real Madrid, which won the match 2-1, and another of the Whites’ key players, Karim Benzema, scorer of the first goal, stayed at 2.6%.
The leaders of this section took center stage Clément Lenglet with 8.8% and the left back Jordi Alba with 8% (curiously enough, the right back Sergiño Dest was the starting player for Barcelona with the least possession: 2.3%). The two players who accompanied Messi in the attack had less ball than him: Pedro González ‘Pedri’ 5.5% of the time and Ousmane Dembélé, 2.7%.
But the sections that Messi led with solvency were those of shots and dribbles. In the first case, he made seven, two of them on goal (the only player in the match to make more than one), before Karim Benzema, Toni Kross, Óscar Mingueza and Ilaix Moriba, all with three.
Rosario’s player was also the one who dribbled the most during the match, with seven successful attempts. The second who did the most was his teammate Frenkie de Jong, with 3, level with Vinícius Junior.
Thus it becomes clear the reasons that have led to Messi to change their undershirt and match jersey (the only one who did this of the 22 players standing on the field of the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium) during the match hiatus to try to stop the intense shaking of their body that they didn’t see with a flaw to activation of the footballer Barcelona
