Would've been too good to be true, just like yesterday was too bad to be true (as a Barca fan). Just checked the match randomly in the 70th minute, and it said 3-0 to Juve. Then I had to watch the end, and of course; penalty in the last minute. I'm nearly questioning if football is a rigged game...

Corrupt. Just like last year vs Bayern.

Dembele should be on from start. Would've threatened them with speed, and I'm certain we would be through now with obly that change.

Sack Valverde. Absolute cowardice.

That was actually an amazing goal. Kudos to the man.

He's a phenomenal goalscorer, as he's shown over the seasons. The problem lies in people comparing him to Messi. Incredible that Ronaldo has won 4 out of the 5 last Ballon d'Ors as an overall weaker player (dribbling, speed etc) than he was earlier in his career. CL is valued too highly too...

This was a decent result, albeit not the best performance. We have to consider the fact that Chelsea had more time to rest too. Remember, Barcelona fans, that we are 7 points clear in La Liga, we're in the final of CDR and just got 1-1 away to Chelsea. Barca are in a good position so far this...

Important goal for many reasons. Equalizer, away goal, first goal vs Chelsea and first goal in like 6 games (?). It's been frustrating to watch Messi and the team lately against such defensive sides. It seems Messi never can get a good change on goal. Also, I feel he's been a little too static...

Goals determine games, yes. However, the best player is not only determined by the level of his success collectively, or indeed, the goals he scored. Evaluating a football player is quite hard, due to the fact that it's difficult to agree on what should be the highest value. Imo, the most...

Tbh, you're only the best team when you win BOTH the league and the CL. Many times when Real won it, they didn't win La Liga. Therefore, I don't consider them to be the best that year. CL is a cup competition, so luck plays a much bigger part than in the league. I think Barca won the league...

The 442 with Suarez' and Messi's position has made his goals dry up the last games (meeting ultra-defensive teams also don't help). In the first half of the season, it seemed it would be an insane goal-scoring year for him... Barca need to adress this. Nowadays, he's lucky to get half a real...

Yes, though, even with Guardiola, Barca often went for 1-1 away etc, so it's not something entirely new. Anyway, I do strongly think this game can be put to bed in the first leg.

I have a feeling they'll change something up for CL. Barca have been too predictable lately, so I think we'll see a more dynamic play. Hopefully it results in a couple of away goals and a clean sheet. Should go through anyway.

Define best player. His movement is very good, indeed. How does he compare on dribbling, passing, finishing, technique etc to the world's best players (even on his own team)? What about all time players?

He's had ideal conditions in Real, where he gets so many goals on a platter. In many ways, he's a poacher. There is nothing wrong with that, as they are an incredibly important part of a team. However, when did poachers win consecutive Ballon D'ors against superior individual talents? In a way...

Comical how Ronaldo gets a penalty and lucky deflection, and suddenly is the hero. If that was another player, having the season Ronaldo has, and the same qualities, he wouldn't be near the talk of a Ballon D'or against Messi. The only reason Ronaldo won it the past two years, is because of his...

He's a bit too predictable right now, although the same could be said about the team in general. Needs to change it up, something I think we'll see vs Chelsea. I hope he has become wiser with the years, so that he's saving his best for big games.

These last games, it has become pretty predictable how he attacks. Doesn't help that all of the teams pretty much defended for their lives. Seems he rarely gets a good opportunity on goal. They're all so ready for him cutting inside and shooting. 2 banks are also much harder to do this to...

Disappointing match. Getafe had a week's rest compared to Barca's 3 days though. Still, shouldn't be dropping point to them at home. Too slow tempo, not enough urgency and desire today. Let's hope a week's rest does the team good.

Messi played well, particularly in the first half. Hasn't scored in the last couple of matches, and could've easily gotten something here. It's February though, a month where Barcelona (and Messi) are usually at their poorest. This is likely because they want to peak in March, April, May, like...
