This may really fool them.

I agree that we keep making it easy for Penaldo, but even yesterday when they had like 10 great counters he managed to fuck up every single one! Good job Penaldo! I am not attacking Messi here, and I know how well he is marked in each and every game, I am just observing that he was not good...

Should not have been subbed!

It's really difficult for the fans, the manager(s) and the press to accept that the glorious years of Xavi and Iniesta are now gone. We all need time to let that sink in. Maybe we were a somehow lucky that Messi did not score that one-on-one with Iker. A win away against our eternal rivals and...

I don't know if we should be laughing or crying at this. Is true though!

And had prime Xavi-Iniesta in front of him. Many of our players are currently in the picture only because they are Catalan/La Masia products.

Yet we keep playing Biscuits in Mascherano's position. :shakeshead: I despair.

1. Real Madrid are indeed the best in the world right now. That much is true. 2. We were indeed a whisker away from 0-2, but did you watch the game between minutes 5 and 15? We were uber lucky there. 3. The front three can only get better and better, that is a dead certainty. 4. Pique is...

We must try a different midfield. I know we do not have any world-class midfielders at the moment, but we should at least try something different.

Broke down countless of our attacks, could not score away from home and can you tell me how many CL goals did he score with us?

We did take in Alexis and Cesc after the CL victory in 2011 didn't we? None of them really worked, but I would prefer Cesc to Rakitic. Alexis was a complete and utter failure for us.

Messi and Ronaldo were both extremely poor last night, especially considering their usual standards. In fact Penaldo was Madrid's worst player for sure. Messi fails to gain the same distinction for us, because we had at least 4-5 other players who were as bad as he was. As for Dani Alves, I...

Neymar and Suarez must start taking them. Messi has not scored a free-kick since...somebody help me here. It's definitely been a very long while and several shitty free-kicks later.

I think Tata should have stayed on for another year. Was it his fault that Messi and Neymar had all those injuries? Or that our defenders are a bit on the low-quality side? We blamed the team's failures and bad luck on him and that was a mistake.

Well, most of us can see that our midfield is spent. The question is, will Lucho? I think he is has been reluctant to use some kind of double-pivotry or try other players in midfield because he is scared shitless that if he does that and we lose, he will be crucified by the Catalan press for...

As painful as it is, I think you are right. We are no longer good enough to play the way we did in years gone by, while other clubs around Europe and Spain have improved markedly. Xavi and Iniesta cannot cut it anymore at the top level (:cry:) and we must swallow that. We must change our...

With the benefit of hindsight, I think we should have started with 4 midfielders and only Messi and Neymar up front, then bring in Suarez with 30 mns to go. I don't know, maybe we are all clutching at straws here.

1) Busquets 2) Pique 3) Fuck my life, either Iniesta or Messi.

Neymar goal was also lovely, let's not be nihilists here. I was also pleased with Alves. Many here were saying that he will be a massive liability for this game, but this was not the case. In fact he is still one of our most involved players and made some great interceptions.

Real Madrid did not park the bus in the way that Chelsea did against us in 2009 and 2012. Real Madrid played with counters and completely annihilated the overrated Bayern. Bayern created nothing in the second leg and very little in the first. Real Madrid, other than scoring 5 goals past Bayern...
