Ivan Rakitić

There is no CM in Enrique's system at the moment. I think Enrique likes midfielders who can attack and defend properly. It has to do something with his playing career. I am pretty sure that he would love to have Arda in his team. Technical,strong,good passer in advanced areas and link-up and knows when to play dirty.

Actually there are NO AM in Enrique's system, both our midfielders play as CMs, but he demands much more physical and vertical play from them. Still they are CM.

That was a great taken goal and a master assist from Messi. Put in his usual hard working shift too.
Well done Raketa!

A world class goal that was. Yes, the pass from Messi was magic, but that finish was fantastic.

 

[Gasgas]

Too slow on the ball, doesn't have the techinal qualities, doesn't have Barca midfield IQ, etc etc etc.

He doesn't fit Barca.

Ty Raki, did good again

 

[Jombi]

I agree, but he did play well today. Lets not take that away from him

No doubt, he played great.

yeah, not at all that easy as it might have looked, and many players would have missed it (and looked abit silly since it was a "through on goal" chance).

One down, one to go, let's take Madrid down!

Great goal and great effort today. Had a few sloppy moments in the chaos though (The game was very end to end tbh).

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Beautiful beast. He was fouled on the edge of our box before the counter for the goal started btw. Some seconds later he just pops up in front of Hart and scores an amazing goal. Great player.

^Great picture! The only time Hart was beaten and it needed a superb chip!

 

[pacp_96]

Beautiful chip for his goal. The only one of our midfield players that would have run from the edge of our own box like that.

 

[Mido]

Great game from Rakitic apart from two dumbly missed passes in the lower midfield. He seemed to be very tired at the end of the game though.
