Well now, isn't it a ball, watching Messi's antics on the pitch morph over the ages?  I've been going through articles from 2020 as well, and it's clear that he had a steady game-play while at Barcelona. Fast-forward to 2023 though, and our maestro seems to have hit a bit of a sour note. Raises an eyebrow, doesn't it?

But here's the kicker! Numbers, those little devils, can be as slippery as a greased up weasel on a dance floor. Picture it: a player tries his luck 100 times with his dribbles, manages to get it right only 5 times. Now, the math majors might be high-fiving over a 5% success rate, but hey, what about the failed 95%? Those ill-conceived attempts that can throw the entire team's rhythm off-beat? So, let's treat these stats like a loaded gun, shall we? Don't just applaud the hits and shove the misses under the rug.
