Leverkusen within one now, 2-3.

6-0 Bayern now.

An incredible goal for Robben. Meanwhile, Gladbach and Koln still at 0-0.

I am rewatching the match, and while Neymar clearly didn't have his best day of finishing, his control amazes me. Dani also played much better than I originally thought.

Messi Busi Alba

Making his Roma debut right now. Came in for Totti in the 60th in a close match. Of course, Roma are dealing with injuries and suspensions, including Totti having the flu.

Fair enough. Still, I think my larger point stands. For many reasons, coaches can be "blind" to realities, often due to stress, pressure, or fear. It certainly wouldn't have been the first time coach stuck with a "proven" player too long because it was the easier choice, if that is what...

Which is really irrelevant, isn't it? Coaches can make mistakes. See VDB and Iker in Brasil. Having said that, I believe Dani is clearly more talented, but he has lost some, (much?), of what made him so special. I personally think going with a back four of Montoya, Pique, Mathieu, would give...

What about Ogbonna, who is evidently available? He would be a good, relatively cheap, rotation guy. Though isn't he more comfortable on the left side, ala Mathieu?

I am a bit confused. Are you happy that your club will circumvent the spirit of FFP? I understand it is "legal", but is being able to utilise the vast sums of wealth at their disposal, no matter how unfair it may be, in order to win the thing that really matters? And if so, I hope you don't...

Medel and Bravo, yes. But Silva was very poor in the first half. In the second, I thought Vidal and Aranguiz really asserted themselves, not allowing Brasil to link up play. Perhaps I missed some things though. And Alexis was very good. Hope he stays, or they get a boat full of money for him.

Bit of a shaky first half for ter Stegen. In a big match to boot.

Willian has been making good runs, ones that Atleti have not covered well.

RIP Tito. My thoughts are with his family. Damn, cancer really sucks.

He has been fantastic so far today for Gladbach, keeping his side in the match against Stuttgart. Though they trail at half, 1-nil.

What is Barca's toughest match remaining? At Villarreal? Home v. Bilbao? (Not counting the last match v. Atletico).

Sometimes I just really don't get posts here. Cesc traveled back and forth between a deeper holding role and a more forward attacking role, and did both very well. He was all over and along with Busquets, just about completely neutralised Fernandinho and Toure, whose combination I suspect is...

I missed the press conference. Could somebody please recap? How is Tito?

Madrid is having so much difficulty in passing into their midfield. And their back line has been poor defensively, including Varane.

True.
