Guys, when Modric struck that throughball to Ronaldo just now, just look at the amount of space he has. The nearest defender is several meters away and has let him slip into a HUGE gap. When was the last time Messi got even half of this amount of space?


You can't seriously belive they try harder against Messi?

Try harder? Well, they sure do a better job of closing him down. Messi has one or two defenders inside his socks whenever he receives the ball. There is almost always someone whos only job throughout the match is to watch Messi, and close him down whenever he receives the ball.

They have different positions on the field, I know, but still letting Ronaldo get that much space on the left side is ridiculous.

Really great pass from Modric, though, that's for sure.
Yeah Ronaldo had all the space in the world, but that's what happens when someone is the better player lol

That is our fault, not only Messi, none of our players has any space...we play differently.
Someone left that video against Arsenal, first 20 mins, look how much space we created.

Penaldo continues, so do refs

Agreed, our slow transition and static movement and play enable our opponents to close down the space.

Stonewall penalty. Penaldo must be the most irritating footballer on earth with his stupid celebrations as the icing on the cake.
