Well, this was nice news. However, I'm curious how much he will play or who is going to get reduced playtime.

Messi looked ok in my opinion. My guess is that pep wanted to see how Bojan did on a wing since it feels like the CF position is pretty heavily contested. I mean, Zlatan or Villa in CF as first choice with Villa able to play left winger in cases where Zlatan gets the CF position. Of course, it...

I concur, he had a good game and it's nice to see that he got to start against Germany since Torres obviously isn't in form. With a Torres in form I'm not sure that Pedro should have a starting spot but as it is right now, he should start ahead of Torres. However, that 2 vs 1 with Torres was...

Wonderful goal and as usual a good workeffort. It's nice to see that Spain in general stepped up their game and hopefully we can watch an even better team on Sunday :)

Yet another really impressive performance from the little guy :) One wonders how far he can go but he surely will be in the history books and to think that he has so many possible years to go and improve even further.

Well, too bad Xavi can't play this but on the other hand it gives him some extra time to get fit for WC which is something I like. I like the national teams tournaments and want to see as strong troops as possible and Spain really want a fit Xavi.

Time for Messi to show us another performance as the one against Arsenal :) Was good that he got abit of rest and now he's fresh (semi, was getting a few really ugly challenges at the end) for Wednesday.

He was a real disaster yesterday. I could buy him not playing well, but he didn't even try to play. He used his 20 minutes to jog around looking at the crowd and living the past in his memories or something, he surely didn't have his mind on what he is paid money to do, play football. I can...

He had a good game, but the blind pass in buildup (which I think was meant for Xavi) to the Arsenal guy was really bad. Unfortunately for barca, this goal put energy back into Arsenals legs. Ashame that one mistake can be so costly, but over all he was good.

Xavi had a great game. Nice to see him back in form :)

He wasn't his magic self, but he still worked well and created issues for the Arsenal defense by just being Messi. The arsenal defender took a few steps towards Messi at the second goal that allowed Zlatan to avoid an offside and run into the space behind. I think he made a decent game.

It was awhile but I think I remember the situation and the chip should have come a couple seconds earlier at the first touch instead of later when Ibra had gone offside. I might remember things incorrectly though and Ibra in an offside position is not really a shocker :)

He has talent, but from what I seen watching inter and the Italian youth team he got some serious attitude issues. It's way way too easy to get him concentrateing on stuff other than his footballing and after you got him to loose focus he generally sux the rest of the game.

Was good to see him get some solid minutes in this game. Hopefully he will be on top of his game the next couple games :)

Well, Messi was outstanding again but this time he actually had a team that played pretty decent with him. First three goals had major Messi contributions. I'm glad Leo has found his form, just hope he can keep it until the CL final :)

the hits keep comeing :( He had a pretty weak performance yesterday but that was hopefully just a glitch in the mahcinery. Hope he gets back soon, we need him!

Don't have much luck atm. Hope he gets back quick and can manage to retain his form,

I think he has played prety well, not at peak performance yet but he is still a constant threat and is involved in the play. Sure he misses some chances but noone has a 100% record of that, he does score though unlike a few games in a row awhile back when he missed some really good chances and...

Messi is back to a nice form, it's a joy to watch him play now once again. Hopefully, we can get all three of our forwards to play well in a game anytime soon :)

Henry is a great footballer imo. Some of his seasons in Arsenal was just pure magnificient. Unfortunately, he seems to have a really slow start this season. I hope he can find the motivation to produce some quality football still, maybe not as a starter but a sub like bergkamp in Arsenal the...
