That's what I like about Lucho the most. He has remained faithful to Barca's philosophy but has added just the right amount of directness into tiki-taka. I think he is quite a versatile coach, less of an idealist than Pep, which is a good thing. As a former Barca captain he also knows how to...

I hope he will be eased back to the action. A couple of sub appearances vs Roma and La Real and then full goat form at Mestalla. Although we all know that is not gonna happen since Little Dictator always wants to play...

In terms of importance obviously not at the level of those two, but in terms of quality the one he scored yesterday might be the best of his career. Such a beatiful movement and one-two with Neymar after calm and composed build-up play from the back. And then the finish. Huh. It's funny how...

Great assist for the first one. Couple of sloppy passes but otherwise solid and worked hard as always. I wasn't sure beforehand if he could handle such a big occasion, but he proved me wrong.

Huge saves. I feel he's still a bit underrated.

What a player. Will never doubt him again.

It seems he is losing the ball more often than last year. Maybe some rest would be good for Rocketic.

Thanks for the memories Pedrito! Underrated player and a truly great professional who always gave everything for the team while also scoring some title-winning goals.

Nice to hear the crowd showing their appreciation for Pedrito. Hopefully he stays, still a good back-up. Although for him personally it would probably be the best choice to go find starting role somwhere else...

Dat shooting technique. :worthy:

This just goes on to show that in modern football even the greatest individual needs to have a well organized team both in defence and offence. I thought Argies were decent defencievely, but offencievely they were once again a disaster waiting to happen. In Barca Messi has a the the team and...

Gracies Xavi. One of the best playmakers and the greatest spanish footballer ever. The ultimate symbol of Barca's philosophy. He clearly loves Barca with all his heart and will definetely return one day, hopefully as a manager.

This guy is clearly the new Hleb. Our lucky charm!

I say rest him. This is not a must-win game.

I thought he was solid, especially considering this was his first UCL-game in ages and it was at a very tough away ground. But I agree he has to offer more offensively. At this point I really can't see a future for him at Barca, unless he wants to continue on the bench...

MOtM for me again. I dont know what made him put his sh*t together but it is clearly working sublimely. Hoping he can keep this amazing form going till the end of the season.

Thats my point. RM will come at us. We need to neutrlize their pressing and build our way up the pitch. I think we could do that easier with Busi. Ofcourse we can try to use longer passes to our front tridente, but im not sure how that will work. Obviously we shouldnt gamble with his injury if...

I think he will start as he should. I dont think a midfield of Masche-Rakitic-Iniesta can control the game against a team like Madrid. Masche is propably on par or even better than Busi in defending, but when it comes to passing and moving the ball he is nowhere near Sergio's level. Also keep in...

I'm almost happier when RM loses than when Barca wins. :lol: Anyways, looks like the timing of el clasico couldn't be better for us.

Yep, if he doesnt have space to run into, Bale is pretty useless. Must be very frustrating for Madridistas to watch him play. Im just enjoying it!
