people forget quickly, the whole thing would go 180 if for example we lose a final to Madrid by a Ronaldo goal while Messi is invisible.
Casuals are a fickle bunch.
You should have seen yesterday's chiringuito, it was hilarious how they were torn between trashing Guardiola or Messi, they still went with Messi, using Bayern's injuries to excuse Guardiola ... but you could feel they didn't know what side to choose, in a perfect world, they love to trash the both of them.
And of course the argument of let's wait and see in the final (they take for granted they're qualified, of course) how CR and Messi do to assess who's having the best year .. lol
There's a big probability for a redo of 2009 to happen again, CR / Messi in the CL final, whoever wins is crowned (wrongfully if it's CR) the king of the year, but i'm not worried, if Messi's fit, there's a good chance he'll run havoc on madrid, don't doubt it a second.
