Even on this form, still our best attacking player by some distance. Thank God he didn't leave or this team would have been insufferable.

Are we seeing the Liverpool Coutinho? Great performance!

Not good enough. Bring him for free next year as a backup. Save the money for someone like Upamecano.

He will leave, but not for free. He is worth at least 100m, and Barcelona can't afford to lose that much money. City will have to negotiate.

All Spanish contracts have a release clause, even in their final year. Messi is currently in his final year of contract. He can't leave without compensating the club. Whether the release clause is 700m or a different amount no one knows, but it won't be a small amount for sure. What Bartomeu...

Apparently he is one of the few not in the transfer list :lol: I hope this is just a tactic to get more money from him. I really can't see him play again after that performance.

Disagree, if anything his passing is usually on point, that's why everyone was surprised yesterday he missed so many.

But that is not just him, its across the team. No one in that team has any confidence, he is no different. Would you feel confident with that defense in front of you?

Neuer was the keeper when we scored 5 against Bayern in 2015, and when Madrid scored 5 against them, and thats just off the top of my head. Even when you look at the replay he could have done a lot more on the first own goal, but of course because Bayern scored 8 and it doesn't matter. For all...

I mean he is still good enough as a squad player to play the odd game here and there.

But that's down to poor management. Messi has a lot of influence but in the end he doesn't run the club, its more like poor or lack of management has let him run the club in the last few years. If Messi doesn't feel comfortable with the players or system, he has a clause to leave at t he end of...

You may not think he is top 3, but I wouldn't swap him for any goalkeeper out there that's for sure. I am trying to forget the game, but I can't remember him making any mistakes on the goals themselves, its just his distribution was shocking. You let any keeper exposed like that he will get...

Can't disagree with that, but we start playing Europa and we won't be able to attract top talent and our revenue would go massively down. I am not so sure about top 4. I am old enough to remember the Gaspart era and how qualifying for CL was a trophy for us. Yes Messi plays a part in the...

To be fair to him, the mistake is more on Semedo, who gave him a terrible nothing short pass.

Messi leaves and we will be lucky to even play Europa for the next few years. Messi has been the reason we've been winning or challenging for titles since Neymar left. He didn't do anything today, but anyone would be demoralised looking at the circus going on at the back.

Physically he is done. Cannot start for Barcelona anymore, still good enough for the bench if he accepts.

The plane should depart from Portugal without him. Had some hope for him but this has to be the end. Absolutely atrocious. Zero credit remaining.

He had a terrible game, probably his worst game, but lets not get carried away. He has shown too many times he is world class. Neuer has had terrible games as well throughout his career, but nobody doubts he is world class.

Betis and Barca have a very good relationship after that shared Emerson purchase. Abidal probably told Fekir if he does well he may have a chance to join Barca next year.

I don't get how Madrid gets 40m for Llorente and we can only get a 6m obligatory purchase option for players of a similar level.
