he is a one-of-a-kind player and person, that's a record that will not be broken for many years, perhaps NEVER!

I don't compare Messi to average players. By HIS standards he did not have a top match. Still best player aside from Busquets who generated the decisive red card and handed Messi the assist. Still, Messi had to get rid of 2 defenders and beat a very good goalkeeper ...

not a good performance today passing-wise, also a few near misses with his shots. Still invaluable for Barça.

Busquets Messi MAtS HM Alba, Vermaelen, Suarez

Rakitic played a good match today, was very solid defensively. I'd like to see Alena as well, but there is no need to call Rakitic names. I don't think the Forum should be polluted with that kind of language.

played well today, no complaints.

Vermaelen Denis Messi

Difficult to watch Barça without Umtiti, along with Messi my favorite player and great contributor to Barça's success so far. Get well soon, Samuel Umtiti, but don't push too hard, we will need you in May and June 2018!

we played Umtiti too much - insufficient recovery between matches is leading to injuries. We asking too much of our players. Medical staff should tell La Liga / FIFA / UEFA that current schedules need to be changed. There should be at least 4 days between matches. That's of course true for all...

Messi Alba MAtS

Celta Vigo did not deserve the point: Suarez goal was not offside, two shots on post and Celta 2nd goal was caused by Umtiti hamstring injury. Too many chances wasted by Barça.

Messi Umtiti Alba (Messi first because he created 2 goals) HM: Busquets, Iniesta

what makes me mad more than anything else is his inability to avoid Offsides: I think he caused at least 6 offsides today.

First half performance was quite promising. Playing a CL match away in Torino against the European finalists makes a difference. Also, it must have been demoralizing to have Messi's goal disallowed. Still an acceptable result.

played good match today and seemed to have fun. Seems to be popular among teammates.

Umtiti Iniesta Busquets HM: MAtS, Piqué

MAtS Umtiti Suarez HM: Alba, Busquets, Messi (saved energy but still created 2 goals)

ARG defintely improving. Midfield still weak so Messi has to drop back too much. Kun did well.

Messi and Kun seem to get along well - hopefully not too well considering Man City plans ...

The first 10 minutes of the match could have resulted in 4 goals. Iniesta and Messi were brilliant and if Suarez had lifted the ball just a lttle higher and scored, we'd have said the same about him. Amazing what a few centimeters can do to one's confidence. Suarez 2nd half performance was...
