2013/14 A completely decimated by injuries Dortmund team

:lol:
Eh, could've been worse, could've been better.
Kind of crazy to think that both Atletico and Bayern were inches away from going out but there's a good possibility we're going to need to beat them both to win it all.
Yes, Maradona is greater than Messi because Higuain and Palacio can't score two one on one chances. If they score, Messi's greatness would have been magically enhanced! Higuain would probably have went on to be cast as Dumbledore in the Harry Potter remake once his true powers have been...
Well, i might an atypical Barca fan but i care about titles the most. Playing great and losing is not my cup of tea. Drawing Real Madrid, even in their current form is not the most efficient way to win the CL again. The matches against Real are never simply about football, they add a certain...
He scored against Las Palmas, so really, he hasn't scored one game. :lol:
It's ridiculous but what can you do? Not BBC, people who say ''fuck you Suarez'' and ''Suarez, you cunt!'' after he misses a chance deserve Joan Gaspart and his genius.
' At times watching Lionel Messi you get the feeling real sporting genius lies in being able to do the outlandishly good every day, to be routinely out of the ordinary. If there is a criticism, it is perhaps simply that on a night like this his match-turning moments can almost seem too humdrum...
Rakitic's defensive work rate and smart, no risk play are a big reason why we're so good.
We might be better offensively with Verratti but we're incredible as is while losing Rakitic would mean losing a lot of defensive stability in the midfield.
Sanchez was a very unnecessary signing, certainly not a position we needed much of an upgrade seeing as how Pedro was coming from his best season to date.
The same goes for Fabregas and we paid for those two signings by trying to fit them in any way possible even when it was obvious it didn't...
So unless something REALLY ridiculous happens, this will be the 8-th La Liga in 12 seasons for Barca in Messi's era. Considering we got a legitimate goal denied two years ago against Atletico, it could be 9.
A stunning achievement.
Well, every game can turn out bad but i've never understood the prevalent pessimism, regardless of form.
Las Palmas are an awful team by any objective standard, and any of those circumstances shouldn't deny us a win. Can we drop points? Sure but i don't think playing Arsenal on Tuesday will be...
