[FCBblaug]

And you guys think by getting olympiacos, our path to the senis will be guaranteed
Have you watched this team play in games it thought it was the better team?
They have been awful in those games.
I would rather get bayern, madrid, psg or chelsi than olympiacos/dortmund

Pretty sure he just gets frustrated and shows his emotions very clearly through his actions. He's not having a go at them as you're making it out to be. If he was such a cunt, his team mates would hate him - but not a single one of them (ex or current) has anything bad to say about him. Like I said in the other thread, take a look at what Pique has to say about Ronaldo.

Even though the situations were different, what Messi did with Villa - THAT is having a go at a teammate.

What could they have said? Coming out in public to denounce Ronaldo? Of course not. Them not saying anything doesn't mean anything.

The same applies to Messi. We don't know and won't know how any of our players really feels about the "little dictator" until they retire from the club and write an autobiography 10 years later.

Are you that naive to think a player would dare to go public and say that he dislikes Ronaldo ?

His ex-teammates, retired team mates, coaches, ex coaches - they all can say what they want. A player on a rival team can certainly say what they want.

Even if they were too scared to say something bad about Ronaldo, they certainly wouldn't praise and defend him so profusely as Pique did.

Was that sarcasm?

 

[Samuel Eto'o]

So the final 8 are-
Barca,bayern,psg,real,chelsea,athletico,olyampiakos,dortmund.

And we can get
bayern,psg,chelsea,olampiakos,dortmund?

Damn,if we don't get olampiakos then round of 8 will be very very tough.

Dream tie for all the other teams as well.
I want Real Madrid to face Chelsea

He makes emphatic displeased gestures directed at his team mates. If that's not reprimanding, then what Messi did to Villa in a much more acceptable situation, isn't either.

I don't really care if he's passionate and a competitor, and in a close or important game that he desperately wants to win, he reprimands others for taking a less efficient shot or making a poor decision. That shows leadership and competitive spirit.

That was not the case today. Today is a clear case of him wanting to pad his stats and placing his own selfish glory over the need of those team mates who don't get to play a hell of a lot and are trying to go make their moment and show the coach what they can bring.

Morata had not scored in the UCL ever until today. Reprimanding him for getting a shot instead of passing to you so you can get you 13th goal of the UCL season, that's really cunty.

Back on topic. Yeah the draw is this Friday.

IMO Barca is going to draw one of the Germans or PSG. It is their year to get tough draws.

Madrid will get Chelsea or the winner between Man U/Olympiakos

Yep Walter Pandiani did

Olympiacos sold their best player in January, Mitroglu, and still won 2.0 to United. The devils are so bad this season but tomorrow they can turn the game. Olympiacos is average.

You're being way too sensitive. Was he desperate to score today? Of course. But don't conflate frustration with cuntiness.

In any case, can easily find a couple of moments where Barca were leading comfortably and Messi 'had a go' at Cuenca or Tello for taking the wrong option.

 

[coura]

You guys just don't understand. Real is TOO good! Schalke did the best they could. Do not let the 9-2 result fool ya!

Tell that to Malaga

 

[DonAndres]

I remember when we played Spartak Moscow and Deulofeu had a go at Messi for missing a pass to him my favorite Deulo moment.

Even if they were too scared to say something bad about Ronaldo, they certainly wouldn't praise and defend him so profusely as Pique did.

First, I certainly wouldn't consider Pique's praise of Ronaldo "profusely", . Secondly, these are public figures, they might have retired or playing on a different team, but I dout that they would want to sever ties with Ronaldo but coming out to condemn him. When being asked by a reporter "How do you like XYZ?", I'd think most of them only have good things to say, no matter how they really feel about the subject person.
