nacho fernandez
i am too used to nacho monreal so i found myself writing monreal instead of fernandez
you guys won't let any mistake go easily
I hear the name nacho Monreal more frequently and so semi-consciously wrote him instead of nacho fernandez

Those vids dont do his performance justice imo.
It doesnt show how terrible Barca was playing before he came on, Paris getting chance after chance.
Camera switching to Messi constantly to capture his nervous reaction. Pastore scores and Messi gets up immediately.
Crowd goes insane when he comes on, players seem to get an instant confidence boost and for the first time in over an hour the flow of the game switches and Barca get the upperhand. Messi (even still injured) psychologically caused fear into the psg players and made them stop what they were doing for more than an hour, Barca got back right back on track and went to the semi's.
Those vids only show his contribution to the goal and him being mostly limping injured struggling to be his usual self but it was so much more than that.
That was extreme messidependencia. Game vs Bilbao a while later as wel for example, we shoud have became champions at that point, it would have been perfectly fitting for the entire season.
In hindsight though it would propably have been better if he stayed on the bench against psg and we got eliminated. It would save us the 7-up vs Bayern and having an injured Messi all the way into 2014.
But thats life, eventually all these things led to our treble winning epic season, so its all good.

That is exactly what happened, and everyone felt it, not just Barca fans. I just cant find any other vids that captures that exact feeling of on one hand PSG players being all like "Oh Shiet!" when he came in, and on the other hand Barca team mates thinking " We got this shiet now, bitcheezzz!"

Definitely, you could make a great video out of the story. I guess it wil be one of those things of why you can only judge players you have seen live.
Only people who followed that season and saw that game live can understand and appreciate it perfectly.

Apparently the arg fa doctor told cadena ser that there is a risk of relapse of the injury, if Messi plays el clasico.

We shouldn't risk him and most probably he'll play in the last 30 mins or so. Best to rest him for the clasico.

The current Neyrez partnership is in good rhythm, Messi should be subbed in and Madrid shouldn't know what hit them

We have a 3 point buffer. Don't risk it.
