I have passed up the chance to see Lionel Messi play ‘live’ more than once, out of an over-zealous (at the time) sense of support for Manchester United.
I rue the missed opportunity now.
However, while my United support has matured, my suspicion that Barcelona makes Messi the kind of player he is, only deepens.
After the World Cup, and now watch in the Copa America (Argentina drew against Bolivia), one senses that without Xavi and Iniesta, he can be easily handled.
He is the manifestation of genius, but those two are the creators.
The Holy Trinity of Football.
