Messi expectations are just too high ...

Paco Rakitic Iniesta HM: Messi, Umtiti, Piquė, Semedo, Sergio

What about all that negativity toward Rakitic? He played very well today.

crazy to have to travel to Greece and play less than 3 days rest

it's never easy to play well after a CL game at mid-week. Look what happened to Man United. Malaga played well, never gave up. Amazing that such a good team is at the bottom of La Liga. Last year they destroyed our chances to win La Liga. I don't quite get the hatred directed toward Rakitic. I...

Suarez However, I saw some improvement in his game, except for his horrible misses of sitters

Iniesta Mascherano Messi HM: Umtiti, Roberto, Digne

Agreed, just saw the replay, freekick was not quite 'sublime'. Better to watch match on TV instead of in stadium! Another example is Pique's hand, could not see it 'live'.

Umtiti Iniesta Messi HM Paulinho, Busquets

Piqué

I was at the Camp Nou and can say he did not try very hard today, hardly broke a sweat. The freekick was sublime and then he almost scored another goal, but it was a 60% effort.

Umtiti Suarez Messi HM: Roberto, Rakitic, Busquets, MAtS

After his ARG NT heroics and the long trip back with associated jet lag we could not expect a super performance. He still delivered a very good game.

All 3 goals were magnificent. Goal #3: How could he watch the goalkeeper and decide to lift the ball over him with 3 defenders around him? Simply the best!

why not playing Dybala?

too bad he hit the post

Don't understand the negativity - Rakitic is a good player. Not a genius like Iniesta, but very valuable for our team.

still no La Liga goal for Ronaldo! Messi has 11 and could have scored 2 more today.

I saw signs of Suarez coming back to form. good assist and should have scored - will score next time
