Haven't been following this thread, but I'll be surprised if there isn't the usual "bayern were just shit and barca were super lucky, real will beat us 29-0 in the final anyway"

3 weeks ago: "Xavi is our worst midfielder, it's time for him to retire." 2 brilliant performances later: "One more year! One more year!" Barcaforum in a nutshell.

I think it's because some people get sore from their shirt rubbing on their nipples when running for long periods of time.

I'm amazed you guys are saying we got the worst possible draw. In my opinion it is easier to beat a team over 2 legs than it is to beat them in a one off game at a neutral stadium. Also you need to bare in mind the final will be played in the Berlin Olympic stadium, which is where the German...

Besides that assist he had an excellent game all round.

Xavi is still consistently one of the hardest working midfielders in world football. He hasn't got pace, but even now he still gets around the pitch. I remember reading that last year his average distance per game was in the top 10 for all players in european football.

In this forum that wouldn't even be considered a sarcastic joke.

Alves in his first few seasons for Barca was hands down the best RB in world football.

Lol, it's such a mute point anyway. Pique and Mascherano aren't a bad pairing. Mascherano showed yesterday that he can bring the ball out of defence as good as any other CB in the world. Could you imagine if barca had bought david luiz and we actually had a CB worth complaining about.

Lol, if we beat Bayern 2-0 I think everyone on this forum would still be saying we got lucky and that bayern were shit. The reason PSG played "shit" is because our midfield completely outclassed them. We pressed them perfectly and forced errors, were always first to loose balls and we moved...

If we don't play Real/Atleti/Bayern in the next round, we will have to play one of them in the final. I would argue that it easier to beat a top team in a two legged tie than in a one off final in a neutral ground.

Brilliant game, the midfield played good enough to dominate any team tonight. Not sure why people are complaining about Messi, there is no point tiring himself/risking injury in a finished tie when we need him firing on all cyclinders at the weekend. edit: The draw is on Friday.

How so? No Thiago silva and Ibrahimovic will probably hurt the team more than benefit them against barca, because his workrate is so low.

I never said alves was good. In fact I think he is our weakest link, and in recent years consistently makes mistakes when he shouldn't. But saying ridiculously over the top comments about how bad he is doesn't really get us anywhere.

Wow. I'm not a massive fan of Alves, but when people are saying that he needs to score or assist 27 goals in a single half of football to make up for how bad he was then it really makes me question the integrity of this forum. Nothing new really. Barca grind out an important result and people...

Yeah I disagree with using whoscored ratings to judge players. That being said, anyone can tell you after watching a few barca games that Iniesta is our worst midfielder who regularly plays.

It's not sky skipping the match, legally there is no football matches allowed to be shown on TV from 3pm till 5pm on a saturday. Stupid old rule.

A double pivot? Yeah ok...:s Busquets Rafinha Rakitic

Cr7 can have the golden boot, if we win the treble with Messi.
