a bit unlucky not to score

but Suarez looks better today

I agree with resting Messi ahead of Tottenham

I think this is just our way to prepare for a Champions League trophy: forget about a treble with an ageing squad. Instead, we stop working hard to win La Liga games because they are meaningless. Messi knows that working hard to beat La Liga teams is not earning him any FIFA points. All that...

Coutinho Alba Umtiti

Piqué

except for Piqué's game winning pass, it was perfect

this must be a new record for Barça regarding misplaced passes. Just sloppiness or is it the Leganès lawn? Messi never adjusted, every pass was short.

yes, he was terrible, but we should be able to score more than 1 goal

I find it very strange that de Gea was voted best GK: He messed up Spain's chances at the WC. Poor Penalty shootout keeping and letting Ronaldo score a shot right at him.

Messi Suarez Alba MAtS not as his usual best Piqué only partly redeemed himself with his goal Coutinho missed two shots he often scores

Messi Dembele Busquets

I think Godin has lost a step, is no longer 100% focused. May be a temporary thing, but was noticeable 2 matches in a row.

Messi had a decent game but his two shooting opportunities did not work out today. In particular, we are not used to him hitting a shot high like the one in the second half. He was well marked by Illara who got a Yellow but should probably have received a second one towards the end. It was...

MAtS Coutinho Messi

Croatian GK was one of the best during WC. Amazing ability to defend penalties - remember Denmark match?

De Gea had a terrible WC for Spain. Made serious mistakes that should exclude him from Top 5. Also very bad defending penalties. I would pick Navas over de Gea.

was it a Croatian B team? Not their great WC GK, a weak defense. Did Modric play? If yes, did he fight like he did in Russia?

Messi Suarez Coutinho HM Alba, Dembélé, Rakitic

I don't get why people don't understand that Messi needs at least 4 days of recovery after a tough game to perform at th top level. I blame the coaches (both Luis Enrique and Ernesto Valverde) for not understanding this basic medical issue. Check the Barça schedules ahead of all CL games where...
