In the end, Barcelona defeated Espanyol 4-0 at home with Messi's big four, winning the last city derby of the season.

Messi has also surpassed glory with 72 goals and has become the player with the most goals in a single season again.

After the game, the Catalan media praised Messi's performance, exclaiming all kinds of incredible things, and praised them all kinds of praise and flattery.

Even the Madrid media published photos of Messi celebrating the goal in a prominent position, with the title: "Great".

The Madrid media can do this, which shows that Messi has achieved remarkable success.

Moreover, Messi's four goals against Espanyol also left him behind his rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the league scorer list, and now he has 50 league goals. This number also breaks the previous record of 45 goals in a single season league goal held by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Before the two of them, the single-season league goal record belonged to Ged Muller. He helped Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga championship in the 1971-1972 season, and he scored forty goals incredibly. For a long time later, this was an unbreakable record. Even glory, at his peak morale, has never scored forty goals in a season in Bayern Munich or Manchester City.

This season, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo also competed fiercely on the league scorer list. Cristiano Ronaldo had just completed the record of 45 goals, and Messi left him far behind with fifty goals.

Such an amazing performance naturally makes the opponent admire him.

Of course, not everyone is convinced by Messi's achievements.

For example, the media in England.

After the game, an English reporter ridiculed Messi on his personal social network for transcending glory by relying on penalty kicks.

"...If there were no these two penalty kicks, Messi's goal count had just tied. So I don't quite understand what the Catalan media is so excited about - it would be 'great' to get the lead with two penalty kicks?"

His message is naturally filled with the smell of gunpowder, and netizens who support Glory and Messi are arguing behind him.

The English media fully support Glory.

The day after the game, England's Sun wrote an article claiming that Messi's 72 goals were very humid, and compared with glory, it was much less valuable.

Their theoretical basis is that Messi's 72 goals were fourteen penalty kicks, including ten in the domestic league and four in the Champions League.

And Rong Guang's seventy goals were not a penalty kick.

"...Messi is the number one penalty kicker in Barcelona, ​​and he will take all the penalty kicks. What about Rong? He basically never punishes penalty kicks in Manchester City. If you really want to compare, you should compare under the same conditions. Since Rong has no penalty kicks, then when we count Messi's number of goals, we should not count the penalty kicks. Excluding these fourteen penalty kicks, what is Messi's actual goal number? Fifty-eight goals! Not to mention surpassing Rong, he has not even broken Ged Mueller's record!"

"The most obvious thing is in the last game. In order to defeat Rong, Messi got two penalty opportunities in one game, and he really fought. It was with these two penalty kicks that he surpassed Rong. In fact, Barcelona's second penalty kick was controversial. Gao's movements were a bit exaggerated when he fell in the penalty area, and he was suspected of fake falls... By defeating Rong in this way, I don't think Messi can accept this honor with a smile!"

It's not just the Sun who holds this view. Although The Sun is not well-known in the media circle in England, this time, many media are like them, thinking that Messi's penalty kicks are too many. If Messi only scored three or five penalty kicks, it would be fine, but now the total fourteen penalty kicks are really too dazzling.

The English media unanimously criticized Messi for relying too much on penalty kicks, a method of scoring without much technical content, to score.

The Catalan media spoke out for Messi.

"There is no technical content in the penalty shootout? This is the funnyest joke I have ever heard! But I understand it because the people who say this are Englishmen who don't understand football at all. Look at their newspapers - The Sun, The Guardian, The Times... They can't even count as professional sports media?!"

"Punishment balls have high requirements for a player's psychological endurance and technical requirements. I don't understand why you can be inferior to others when using a penalty kick. Being able to score fourteen penalties in a season fully demonstrates that Messi is the most trustworthy and stable player. His team is willing to hand over the penalty kick opportunity to him, which also shows their trust in Messi! On the contrary, Manchester City's number one penalty kicker is not Rong, and perhaps not as the English media said, Rong is disdainful of scoring such an easy way. The fact is that Rong's psychological quality is not enough to bear such a great deal of pressure!"

Manchester Evening News responded strongly to the remarks made by Barcelona club's mouthpiece, "Monkey King", "Marcelona".

"I said Messi had good psychological quality, stable performance, and trustworthy reporters of World Sports, I suggest that they go to watch last season's Champions League finals again to see how the trustworthy Messi saw Rong defeating them with three goals at one time, but Messi was helpless. Speaking of people with poor psychological quality, I suggest that they count how many Rong equalized the score when he was lagging behind, and how many of them were the final goal near the end of the game... It is not that the newspaper's name has the word "sports" or professional sports media. Whether it is professional or not depends on what he said and what he did. In my opinion, the professional quality of World Sports is similar to the bulldog in my neighbor next door..."

Anyway, the media on both sides have made a big fuss, and the supporters of both sides have also become a group of people on the Internet.

Supporters of Barcelona and Messi have said that no matter what you say, Messi is the one who leads the total number of goals now!

They think this is an irrefutable fact, and Messi is stronger than glory.

This season is almost over, but unexpectedly, it suddenly caused a huge wave. The challenge of Rongguang and Messi on the total number of goals scored in a single season attracted the attention of the whole world and became an annual event in the entire European football world. It even attracted more attention than the Champions League finals.

Now everyone really wants to know who will be the last laugh of Rongguang or Messi?

Messi has one round of league and a Cup of Kings final.

And Glory has two rounds of league and one Champions League final.

In terms of competitions, Rongguang is more than Messi, after all, Rongguang also participated in two games of the Club World Cup.

This is also the reason why Messi supporters use to criticize the fact that the number of goals in Rongguang is really lacking. They believe that games like the Club World Cup are completely used to score goals, and it is also a fact that Rongguang is more involved than Messi in the total number of games. He participates in more games, which means he takes advantage.

Supporters of Glory said that scoring three goals in two Club World Cups is not considered a "brush" at all.

In addition, Rongguang has many games, so why is Messi not able to participate in two Club World Cups and one Champions League final? Why can’t he participate? In addition, we have only one Community Shield in England, and your Spanish Super Cup also has a two-round home and away game system. Why don’t you say that you have more Super Cup games?

The two sides just quarreled in a fierce manner until the evening of May 8th.

In the last game of the 37th round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Newcastle United away.

In the ending Manchester United Swansea match, Manchester United beat Swansea 2-0 at home, but they only won two goals. Of course, if Manchester City lost to Newcastle United in a big away game, then there is still a theoretical possibility of Manchester United winning the final round.

But if Manchester City beat and draw Newcastle United away, they will win the championship ahead of schedule, no matter how many goals they win.

Another very important thing is of course the competition between Glory and Messi.

At this time, many European leagues have no games, and everyone can watch this game without distraction to see how Rongguang will react in the face of Messi's aggressive offensive. After Messi regained the top spot, can Rongguang be regained?

This game is not only focused on Europe, but also countless people are focusing on this game in distant China and Argentina.

This game kicked off at 3:00 am on May 9th, Beijing time.

In such a late game, there were still many people waiting in front of the TV.

Now is the era of developed Internet. The debate in Europe has also been exchanged for China through the Internet. Domestic fans are already familiar with the fight between Messi supporters and Glory supporters in Europe. This matter has been broadcast live on Weibo for several days. The topic "Glory VS Messi" is the number one in the 24-hour hot topic on Weibo every day.

Most people support Glory, and it is not ruled out that some people who are independent and intend to reflect their independent thinking ability must support Messi to defeat Glory.

However, fans have enough mocked Messi on the Internet. If Glory cannot really surpass Messi in the game, their mocking will instantly turn into a slap in the face.

So they want to see if Glory will live up to their expectations and successfully hit the faces of those who questioned him, laughed at him, and criticized him!
