I don't think many teams expect their fullbacks to weigh in with many goals tbh. He's quick, he works hard, he does his job. Those lofted through balls that Messi so often pulls off are extremely difficult to control when running at full speed, never mind actually producing the finish. We just...

I know Messi sets the bar exceptionally high for himself, but to say that he didn't have a good game when he scored twice against a parked bus is a bit much guys.

You can have less than 25% of the possession and still not give away chances. Solid defensive work relies on reacting quickly and in a co-ordinated manner. Arsenal haven't got any 'world class' players, none of their forwards would make it into ours or Real Madrids starting line-up, but they...

I dunno, I thought Messi looked lively and keen to get involved in the game, but the way Arsenal were playing meant there was no space between the lines anywhere, and when Messi had the ball Arsenal done their best to double/triple up on him. Overall good performance, just a bit concerned that...

I hope we dismantle them 5-0.

There is no reasoning with Madrista fanatics. We are talking about the same club that celebrated one of their best ever players retiring (Raul) by giving him a small press conference. Also their most consistent player over the last 15 years, and probably the best GK they have ever had, was...

1. There is encroachment in every penalty. I don't know why people are deciding to complain about the Spanish football association not enforcing the rule now. 2. 2 defenders were actually inside the box, which you cannot see from that conveniently cropped picture. They had more of an advantage...

In any other team in the world Mascherano would be a DCM. For Argentina he is still a DCM. It's just that our defence requires players with the same skillset normally only found in good DCM's. I think Mascherano is one of the unsung heroes in the team, he is a fantastic player.

That is such rubbish. 1. Even when he's playing well he is no where near the best RB in the world. 2. Defenders, more than any other position, require consistency in their performances to be considered good/the best.

Please be sarcasm.

So petty it hurts. If Real played football that good, I would have no choice but to applaud them and the players. It's easy to get caught up in team rivalries, but we are all football fans at the end of the day.

We had a very weak team out against Valencia, given the 7-0 advantage from the first leg... the two situations are not comparable.

How is "You're a waste of space.", more provocative than "Your mother is a whore."? If barca played hack football in the same manner that teams like Atletico and Espanyol do, then we would have to abandon every game from the amount of red cards that would be given out. Such double standard...

This. I don't care if he is trying to pass to Messi or not, when you are in a position like that, with minimal cover, and the opposition ready to break, every pass should be 100% safe.

Unicef should send him on a relief mission to Africa, where he can hand out nutmegs to those who need it most.

+1 I can't believe people are saying that Arda will be a more defensive choice. It's like they never watched him play at Atletico... If anything I think he will be a much more attacking option, and will actually be more suited to slot into Iniesta's role in midfield, which will take pressure...

Don't ignore the insults, they seem pretty on point from what I've read. You either don't understand the game very well, or you're a shit troll. Yes arda was part of a bigger picture in atletico. That was the teams set up. He still has all the quality that we need, just watch his...

I agree, the problem for barca has been the lack of rotation/options in the midfield. Since Xavi has retired, we don't really have many options besides Rakitic as a deep=lying midfielder. In terms of the play maker role, again, we don't have many options besides Iniesta. Arda Turan should be...

lol

I'm surprised, I was expecting 10 pages of #LuchoOut
