This performance is underrated by the CL bandwagoners when it comes to big game mentality. We would have been eliminated from la liga with a loss here but a win kept us in till the final day.
This was without Neymar, at the Bernabeu, against a 16/17 Madrid side that had just dominated Carlo's Bayern, and with CR7 in peak form.
Messi took it to Casemiro from THE MIDFIELD, lost a tooth to Marcelo, scored 2 great goals, one of them a walk-off winner in their house.
But you still have folks questioning whether he is a winner or whether he can still dominate big games because of 2 poor effort/bad games v Roma last season. He played lights out v Juve and Chelsea the same season, mind you.
CR7 has the better goal output in CL KOs, no doubt, and he is a player who can decide KO ties more because of the greater variety in his arsenal. But that's where it stops football wise.
