Who's better, Kun or Messi?
Friday, 03 October 08, 04:24 PM
Well it's about time to find out. Tomorrow night, Atletico Madrid, continue their sprawl of tough games against Barcelona at Camp Nou in the 6th Jornada in La Liga. Atletico are seventh in the league and only one point behind Barca, who are fifth, so could jump over them with a victory tomorrow night.
But how possible is that going to be? Will it be a question of Messi or Kun smashing in the goals? Pep Guardiola, unbiased of course, thinks that although Kun is a star player Messi is a better one 'I'm still saying that Aguero is very good, but for me Messi is better.' Of course he's gonna say that, and maybe he's right, but in a couple of years time it will probably be a different story.
The point is though that tomorrow is the big show down.Pep is obviously aware of this and has admitted to telling Messi 'Not to try and win the game himself.' When asked if he knew what Messi thought of Kun he said 'I don't know if he has a personal reason to win the game, I only hope that we win because it would put us high dynamically.'
If you changed Messi for Kun, just for tomorrows match, then what would happen? Would Kun fit in with Eto and Inesta? Would Messi gel with Luis Garcia and Pongolle? Is there any point comparing the quality that the two have alongside them? Messi has far greater team mates, so does that mean that Kun is better after all?Yeah I know, too many questions, let's leave it to the professionals.
My prediction is 2 v 1 to Barca with Messi and Kun both scoring own goals.

Where is it all going wrong for Barca?
Yesterday they drew their first home game of the season against Racing 1 v 1. It was a frustrating game for Pep Guardiola who decided to take heed of Maradona's comments and resting Messi to start with, as soon as he came on he made a positive impact and also netted the penalty.
There were a few dubious decisions made by the ref, Pinillos should have had a red card for a tackle on Hleb, Iniesta should have had a penalty but then so should Racing at the other end.
Dani Alves and Keita, both former Sevillistas both had good games, but it was difficult for Barca to break down Racing's tight defense.
Atlectico, on the other hand, lost 2 v 1 away at Valldolid, they were 2 v 0 down after just 27 minutes and spent the rest of the game chasing. Kun, ex partner of Fernando Torres, netted their only goal.
Both Barca and Atletico will be looking for more impressive performances this Tuesday in the Champions League, Barca are at home to Sporting Lisbon and Atletico away to PSV Eindhoven.
