Lliga: FC Barcelona - Atletico Madrid 3-1

[Messi_Goal]

It's on the home page during a match

Thanks dude.

Very good game. Early goal was crucial.

Holy fuck, they are dirty team. I bet they get regular team-talks on referee pressuring tactics.

 

[FC B]

Not like this, this was Messi in full god mode.

The whole team played with passion. Enrique did a good job, well done to him

I can tell you tactically he didn't do any great things. The team played the first "match of the season" so far because every player knew Atletico is a very tough nut to crack and they've got a revenge to take from the last season.
Thus the first haff was abundent in chances, effort and great play but nothing special tactically.

We all know how talented this team is. It's a matter of time before it works as well as tonight, in a consistent way.
I hope that the team and the club will write a new chapter after this week, and the beautiful game they gifted us tonight.
Visca Barca

Tactically a lot changed. If it is all down to the players then dont blame him when it goes wrong.

Not been a fan of Lucho but a lot has changed the last two games and the team look a lot better for it.

I hope this isn't a fluke a la Milan 4-0 victory.

I think it is. As a matter fact I'm almost sure of it.

 

[FC B]

Klopp and Simeone cannot manage Barca. They are good managers for underdog teams.

If Lucho and Tata could ( also underdog coaches pretty much of their careers ) they surely can. And btw if BVB ore Atletico are underdog teams in Europe I don't know what to say more...

This match will allow LE to breathe and work with less pressure. Now the ball is in her camp to continue with this new wave and we spare his fucking rotation.

Do you think Tata and Lucho were a success?

I still can't believe Mallenco called that penalty, absolutely ridiculous

What a performance though! Atleti mesmerized!!

Not if Messi is like this. Messi in form changes everything.

Ofc it changed but not only by his merit. Firstly the players ran like crazy in the first half and they suddenly weren't as pinned to their usual positions when attacking thus they became really involved and flexible in their game.
Secondly our every player's overall performance raised considerably for this game. Lucho ain't a great motivator as we've already seen repeatedly so far so I'm not hurrying in giving the merits for this to Lucho, at all.

It looked a pen on the replay.

Messi clipped him and never got near ball.

Not if Messi is like this. Messi in form changes everything.

We should rather speak of his determination and will to be like that. I don't think we'll see that in mundane La Liga matches.

It was soft. Not enough to take him down, he dived. Rakitic took an elbow to the head that was more of a penalty.
