14 - Javier Mascherano

[Theconomist]

That pass. Reminds me of his liverpool days. This guy was the best DM in an era where the likes of Essien, Cambiasso and Gattuso where at their prime.

Such a wall.

Behind that beastly performance was little bit of a loose pass to VV (just slightly), but if his pass was to the other side of Valdes the goal might never have happened, obviously Valdes takes full blame though...

Pass to Valdes for RM's second goal was from Adriano.

Didn't even expect that pass! Monster Masch!!!

 

[Theconomist]

Best defender last season. No signs of cooling off.

 

[Jelboo]

What an absolutely amazing player. He has become one of our most important squad members and fully deserved.

 

[Visca el Barça]

Masch is just the best!

 

[PacoBJuarez]

Just continues to come through in the clutch. It seems like every match he saves a goal or two with a last-second perfect tackle or by throwing himself in the way of a shot. Keep it up!

Literally, Barcelona's CL season was dependent on one Mascherano tackle. Had he not robbed Bendter from a shot at goal, you would have been knocked out and your season would have been DONE!

Yeah, that tackle certainly made it a lot easier for us to progress, but you have no idea how it would have played out. We might have even gone on to win 6-2!

That would have made it 3-2 and then we would have a hard time cuz then we would need 2 goals to advance. On the other hand we were all over them, as Jordan said it could have ended in a landslide if Arsenal had awakened the beast.
