Man is magic, goals, assists, he does it all, I am happy to have lived in his time and will certainly think about calling out of work to see him play against Arsenal!
Tough luck for Roma, considering how quick but inaccurate Real Madrid has been this season, they could've gotten a better result. They're done in my opinion, no way you can keep Real Madrid scoreless at Bernabeu..
I don't know where these kids are getting the idea that the most popular sport in the world attracts the most violence, could be they never learned the terms "generalization" or correlation is not equal to causation. Never seen a riot after a hockey game? Never seen a batter charge a pitcher with a bat? Real football can include matches between nations, unlike American football, nobody would care enough to play against the U.S.
I'd love to know what his idea of a "man's sport" is, the one where they run every two minutes and rest every other two minutes while a Doritos commercial rolls, or the one where they're stupid enough not to wear the protective pads.
I hate myself for not calling off to see the game. Waving goodbye to Ancelotti in favor of Rafa was a terrible idea. I'm happy that Messi is fully recovered now and back to his best. Even better that Neymar has performed better now and is eclipsing Bale. Turan's presence next year should help strengthen a good midfield, and hopefully Sergi Roberto continues on the rise.
You can nullify both Messi and Ronaldo as strikers, make it hard for them to score until the 90 minutes are up, but that's the thing, Messi is magic, Ronaldo probably won't do much if he can't score, Messi will offer some assists. This is why one has more Champions League trophies than the other, more Balon D Oros than other, because Ronaldo is the best striker in the world, but Messi is just something else. Wasn't Ronaldo usually always better at free kicks than Messi, yet lo...
That win against Sevilla took a long time to approve, meanwhile this jumps to the top of the page immediately. Guess they whisper your victories and scream your defeats, even when you've won it basically all..
Chile has some really messed up karma coming their way in the near future. Don't believe me just watch, they should've never made it onto the final. And had this been Brazil being helped out, the football network of fans and media would be ablaze! But nah, since it's Chile and Barca and Messi critics need something to save their disastrous year...
Very well deserved indeed!! First team to get the tripleta twice! I'm lucky to live in this era of this amazing team.
I think your bias clouds your vision honestly, Juve got away with quite a few fouls, if anything, the ref was lenient with them, yellow for Suarez for a little foul yet for Vidal it takes three?
5 Minutes added and yet it goes all the way to 96 and some seconds?
Pogba is a big man, bigger than Alves, he was pulling on Dani as well, funny you call that a clear penalty but you call the many fouls from Juve just diving from Barca players. The bias here is obvious....
Messi makes real life look like a fifa game, and he's done this multiple times.
He was marked by two players, and he flew past them, he's just faster, smarter, more balanced, he embarrassed Boateng. He can walk past any defender he wants, and he doesn't necessarily have to get past them to create a threat(see his passes to Neymar and Rakitic).
FIFA 16 will be terrible.
Was excited about buying a new kit...
I think Ancelotti made a few mistakes with the team that cost them, but nowhere near as many as Perez.
I'm looking mainly at Bale for missing that easy header(easy for him at least), but I think Real Madrid was just so wasteful with their chances. Ref was on point with the calls today, good call on the penalty and booking James for the dive. Since we are speaking about Real Madrid here, I can only imagine how many changes/transfers they might make this summer.
Not so happy with the loss but I guess Luis Enrique and the team were thinking more of that game against Atletico in the second half. Suarez' speed and speed and strength were quite missed in the second half as well, and Ter Stegen had some nice saves.
This is what I wanted from Messi in the champions, and he delivered as he is fully capable of.
For me Dani Alves was the second best man out there. His tackles and defending were almost perfect, and he made some room for Messi's first goal.
Although Bayern did crush Porto and Shaktar after poor away performances, Barcelona is not either of those teams. Defense is solid, and offense every player is in great form. Iniesta is in better form now, Rakitic is doi...
I don't think so...
Well done Luis.
Luis Enrique gambled and lost, not so much about underestimating, the second team should've done their job. I would've placed the first team from the beginning and then sub them out to get rest not the other way around.
