‘ব্যর্থতার’ মিথ

আমি সুনির্দিষ্টভাবে বলছি: 2023-2024-এর 2টি Ligue 1, ‘ব্যর্থতা’?ওহ!কথা।যদি 9বছরেও 2টি खिलाड़ी आयोजन हয়,তবে प्रति समय के आউटपুট में हेरফेर करा हয়।

আমি Mike—চিকাগো,35,নอร์থওয়েস্টার্ন-এ applied math-এ M.Sc.।ESPN-এ MLB/NBA-এ data modeler।যখন “মেসি PSG-এ falied” -শুনলাম,আমি emotion-কে noise-হিসাবেই recognize.

Noise model validation test passed? No.

Realiti:He wasn’t the focal point; he was part of a trio with Mbappé and Neymar as primary creators.

data shows: fewer shots on target per 90 minutes than teammates, lower direct involvement in goalscoring plays during key moments.

But here’s the twist: his assist numbers were still elite—top 10 among midfielders in Europe during his tenure—despite being used as a secondary playmaker. That’s not failure—that’s efficiency under constraints.

The ‘Third Penalty Taker’ Reality Check

Let me say this plainly: Messi wasn’t first or second on penalties at PSG.* The order was Mbappé → Neymar → Messi (only if both were unavailable). So yes—he was third in penalty duties. The irony? People still blame him when things go wrong—but never ask why he wasn’t given more responsibility to begin with. When Argentina struggled, we blamed Messi. When Barcelona fell short? Blame Messi again. Now Paris fails? Guess who gets called out? Why don’t we ever blame La Liga referees? Or defensive coordinators? Because stats have no bias—but humans do.

Comparing Apples to Oranges – Ronaldo vs Messi at PSG?

The idea that Ronaldo had more freedom everywhere is true—but only because he played elsewhere as the primary engine of attack every single time he signed on. At Juventus? He was number one with full creative control. At Manchester United? He led lineups from day one—even after coming back from injury breaks before his peak years.. Messi at PSG didn’t have that narrative arc—not because he lacked ability—but because structure dictated otherwise. The system didn’t allow for him to be center stage; it rewarded collective output over individual dominance,… which may explain why they won leagues but couldn’t crack Europe’s biggest stage.
