How so? I think the ref got every decision correct. Atletico deserved nothing for their disgusting antics throughout the match.

Big 6 is a fallacy anyway, Spurs and Arsenal are terrible and have been for some time. Newcastle will definitely be muscling in on the actual strong clubs of England so United, Liverpool, Chelsea and City will now have a new contender to deal with. The Saudi's will spend big money and like City...

I don't disagree, Pep has done a fabulous job at City. But if he had the same resources as Klopp as opposed to the unlimited cash of the UAE, I doubt he would have done quite as well.

I'm talking about the present, not the past. Right now, Salah's stock is higher than Neymar's.

Both are geniuses in different ways. Klopp achieves miracles, his teams should no way be competing with the very best but his Dortmund team overcame Bayern and Liverpool overcame City. Klopp maximises the hell out of the talent he has which helps him compete with managers that spend more money...

Absolutely bizarre comment. Neymar has been a nonentity since he joined PSG compared to what he was at Barca. Salah is way bigger and better as far as football goes. Neymar is better at attending parties, social media and haircuts I suppose.

Ah OK, good to know! Barca should definitely consider him.

Xavi is the only realistic manager that would would improve things. Rodgers is a very good manager and 10 times better than Koeman but I don't think he speaks Spanish and not sure how he'd cope outside his comfort zone of England and in the pressure-cooker environment of Barcelona.

Can I say how truly daft it is that La Liga has lost its greatest ever player because they are so eager to implement some form of FFP, yet the club Messi has joined simply ignores all and any form of FFP?

I don't imagine the negotiations were too difficult hence the speed of this deal. Negotiations probably went like this: PSG: We hear you are leaving Barca now. We'll give you $500,000 a week for the next 2 years if you agree to join. You'll get to play with Neymar and your Argentine team mates...

lol it was hardly a "chance" Barca took hon him. They knew he was special and that if all went to plan, he would be a star. Barca didn't pay for his medication out of kindness, but rather to help him develop as a footballer to benefit FC Barcelona. And Barca has had 20 years of benefit from this...

Expecting Messi to play for free is such an absurd notion. It's easy for football fans to make that suggestion but in reality it will never happen and if you were in his position, you would not play for free either. He's the best player in the world and there are clubs willing to pay for his...

If Messi is flexible with his salary demands, many clubs would want him. Chelsea or Man United from England can afford him, maybe Bayern, Juve, or Liverpool if Messi goes low enough in wage demands. Messi won't be short of options if he really wants to continue his career at the top.

If these events are all true, it seems incredible that Barca and Messi agreed a 50% drop in wages and now Barca are saying they can't even afford that! Barca are really in a serious financial mess. I don't think any blame can be attached to Messi. For him to agree a 50% reduction in salary is...

Very sad day for Barca. Sounds like Barca could not even fulfil the new 50% reduced salary! Financially Barca are screwed but Messi leaving will help to alleviate the financial mess.

No doubt money is a huge factor - no sane player would accept a 50% reduction in salary when there is another club willing to pay him what he's worth. But putting money aside, Barca is realistically not going to be winning La Liga or Champions League in the next 2 years, and 2 years is all Messi...

He's a good player playing for a team that is struggling. I'm sure once Fabinho and Henderson are back in midfield, Thiago will be playing much better than he currently is alongside them.

The level of disrespect this legend has received from fans is shocking. So he couldn't maintain the same insane scoring ratio that he had in his peak. Not many 30+ players can. He was still scoring regularly. He could have stayed as a squad player and still have been an asset to bring off the...

lol seriously? You don't even have to watch Wijnaldum in a full match, just head to YouTube and see a few highlights and you'll know he's much quicker than Busquets.

This guy was sensational for Liverpool. He hasn't become a bad player. If Messi goes he could thrive as the main man if given the chance.
