Messi’s Emotional xT

My spreadsheets said he was past his prime. But his eyes? That look when Miami’s down by one with 10 minutes left? That’s not stats—it’s soul. I ran 47 regression models on that moment. Still can’t quantify it.

From Heartache to Hype

Three World Cups lost? My data showed psychological fatigue levels off the charts. Then came Qatar ’22—proof that love beats logic. Now at 37, playing against kids who trained on his legacy? That’s not evolution. That’s mythology.

Why I Cried While Replaying Footage

I’m an INTJ who values cold logic. Yet yesterday? I cried through tears replaying that final pass. Not because he won—but because he showed up when no one else believed.

So yeah… thanks for being my hero, Leo. You’re more than a player—you’re my emotional xT metric.
