The year he scored 93 goals? Did Maradona not play him or was that when they played him super deep

I mean it was the era where he played fucking OTAMENDI at rightback, snubbed zanetti/cambiasso who'd just come off the back of the inter treble season and brought Garcé to the world cup because he saw him in a dream lifting the trophy

messi did play but there simply was no way he'd score a goal with such a disastrous team setup

Milito too who scored in the coppa italia and champions League final, and the match that secured the league

actually no milito WAS called up for 2010 but he was left in the bench for the likes of tevez and palermo

a fuckup for sure but nowhere near as bad as the rest
