in addition, he had a clear goal disallowed (ball was fully inside the goal line) by a referee. Without such bad luck his La Liga total should be close to 30. Let's hope his luck will turn tomorrow.

How many times has Messi hit the woodwork this season? Another one against Eibar. His finishing against Eibar was really off, he should have scored 3 goals. Let's hope he rediscovers his finishing quality against Chelsea.

the verdict will come against Chelsea. I think it was a terrible idea to play Iniesta for 60 minutes when Coutinho was ready to go. Coutinho was co-creator of 2nd goal and had an 'almost assist' missed by Messi who had a bad "finishing day". Played better than Iniesta today

Why did Iniesta play? Why not Coutinho 90 minutes?

Piqué Alba Messi HM Umtiti, Busquets, Rakitic, Suarez

EV seems to have told his team to take it easy, not playing at 100%. Time to substitute Coutinho for Iniesta!

Winner of CL is called European Champion and (more or less automatically) World Champion. Best player wins Ballon d'Or. That's just how it works.

I repeat my question: did Barça try to move the match to Friday? If not, why not?

maybe not technically, but GK rebounded Asensio's cross to Ronaldo's knee. GK did not look good despite good earlier saves.

Goals #2 and #3 were assisted by Asensio.

today's difference maker was Asensio. Also, Marcelo always shines when it counts. Neymar could learn a lot watching how Marcelo does it.

+ stupid foul and yellow card. PSG GK had good saves but did not look good the last 10 minutes. Helped Ronaldo to knee goal. Asensio substitution was decisive, he prepared both goals.

I'm just wondering if we tried to reschedule the Eibar match for Friday. Girona will play Leganes on Friday, so why can't La Liga do us a favor and let us play Eibar on Friday, to give our players the 3 days of rest that Chelsea is getting? The Eibar Stadium is so small - I'm sure Eibar won't...

They play with 3 full days of rest, at home after a relatively easy FA Cup game. We will have only 2 days of rest and have to travel to London, after having played Eibar on Saturday. Eibar is playing very well right now, in particular on their home field. Conclusion: Play our best team on...

Look at the facts: Chelsea will play Hull in FA Cup on Friday, will then have 3 full days to prepare for Tuesday evening match against Barça. Barça will play Eibar - currently in great form - Away on Saturday, will then have to travel to London to play another Away match against Chelsea. I think...

What worries me is the very short break between Eibar game and Chelsea match. I think it would be ok to risk another loss of points but rest key players (Messi, Iniesta, Suarez, Busquets, Alba) against Eibar. I don't want to see another PSG / Juventus home match!

It was fully expected that our team was tired after a tough match away late on Thursday evening. A useful reminder that our key players (in particular Messi) need rest before the Chelsea match. Look at how a fully rested Real Madrid attacked Real Sociedad. Difficult decision how to approach the...

Mina Rakitic Digne HM: MAtS, Busquets

Mascherano left too early!

referee tolerated too many fouls on Messi. He did not score but played well.
