Oh DO fuck off with that "Arsenal are still a young side" bollocks commentators.

Fuckin Peter Pan of football.

WANTED: Young latin male suspected of raping eleven males this evening in Barcelona. Call police with any information.

[Fitzy.]

All over - Barca = best team in Europe.

[SMD]

*applauds*

*stands up*

*applauds louder*

[scatman]

its the 2nd coming
i bow to you lord messi

[NealFrom25Yards]

Vermaelen's been terrible for me.

Martin Tyler's Monkey thinks he's been 'excellent'.

[Juan Loco]

Walcott has absolutely tormented Barca tonight eh?

Hard like Samuel, Winter and the rest of you deluded little ingerlund cuntshites.

[RigBon1892]

Nice shot of Guardiola would be great at the end of the game 

Mmm yes!

[spen71]

Missed this.  Was that young Argie any good?

[NeverWalkAlone96]

Full time - what a pleasure it was watching Him tonight

[Juan Loco]

At least this might put to bed the ridiculous debate of whether Rooney is even close to him. That's not a slight on Rooney either.

[LFCfan4Life]

Would you be disappointed if Bayern won tomorrow night though?

id be devastated

[SRAWL]

That game was like I was playing FIFA (except change Messi for me and Barca for Liverpool ofc). Awesome player, awesome team, and awesome awesome atmosphere.

Messi needs to get some fucking big shinpads made for the next round, Jose's yard-dogs will kick him all over the pitch given the chance.

[Tom_B]

You know what is amazing, he doesn't even look tired, and he has fucking run miles tonight.

[AnotherSpanishfan]

On another night, in a team without Messi, everyone would be salvating over Xavi's performance tonight. Can't really take any of the light off that guy though.

To be fair, Barça's style of football and players around him allow him to shine. 

Exactly. They have done it on home grown players and their average age is about the same as Arsenal's and they are years ahead in every aspect of the game.

Barcelona over the last 2 years has just taken Wenger's philosophy and accomplishment and raped them. There's no other way to put it.

Wenger had nothing to do with it.  More like a certain Johan Cruyff.

[Chivasino]

The way he's walking off bouncing that ball is just like a kid on a playground, and to be honest that exactly what it was tonight for him.

[Tom_B]

Somewhere on a yacht in the med Abramovich is reaching for his cheque book

More likely that a certain Sheikh is doing it.

[Fitzy.]

Heard that Durham guy on Talksport saying Rooney is better than Messi recently - right...ok then...

[Juan Loco]

Messi vs Lucio should be a great battle.

[RigBon1892]

Missed this.  Was that young Argie any good?

Nah he was shite. I think Guardiola should sell him to LFC.

[Cusamano]

haha the "young side" argument again from the commentators

[Chivasino]

You know is amazing, he doesn't even look tired, and he has fucking run miles tonight.

That bit earlier when he went past Vermalen and put it through Sagna's legs, Varmalen was huffing and puffing and Messi just looked so relaxed. Amazing.

[Mouth]

Arsenal sponsored by.......

[scatman]

should just give them the trophy now, at least those dirty mancs wont get it

[deadlybuzz]

This is beautiful, a whole bit on Messi on TV3 right now. Keown and Cascarino correctly applauding the lad.

[jooneyisdagod]

Messi.  What can I say that hasn't already been said.  Absolutely sensational. 

Oh and take note members of the Roooooooooooonnnnnneyyyyyyyyyyy fan club.  The fat prick isn't a patch on this guy.  Not a patch. 

[Cusamano]

All the dirty roubles in the world couldnt get him to leave.

Wenger once famously said " It's easier to win Champions League, compare to EPL"

but sadly.

until now, he never won the Champions League.

[Lent§]

At least this might put to bed the ridiculous debate of whether Rooney is even close to him. That's not a slight on Rooney either.

Correct, as good as Rooney is he's not even close to Messi!

[redgriffin73]

At least this might put to bed the ridiculous debate of whether Rooney is even close to him. That's not a slight on Rooney either.

Bloke on SSN just compared them and ended by saying Messi needs to score more with his head like Rooooooooney does.

[jaffod]

London. STILL a European Cup free zone.

[Chivasino]

To be fair we haven't won the PL, and only come close once.

[Daranoza]

Mmm yes!

He is a man who even pulls off the Cardigan Look. Not many can do that.

[Promised to never post on RAWK again]

Looking at that Barca team, I've just had a scary thought ... Imagine if they have never sold Reina ...

[Geezer08]

Stop football now. No player will ever be better than that little kid.

There is not superlatives enough, im sitting with shivers down my spine.. Simply amazing

[Daranoza]

Looking at that Barca team, I've just had a scary thought ... Imagine if they have never sold Reina ...

Then, we wouldn't have him and my cat would have a different name.

[Dr Cornwallis]

Looking at that Barca team, I've just had a scary thought ... Imagine if they have never sold Reina ...

And imagine if they had a top class left back, left midfielder and defensive mid...

[Ray K]

On another night, in a team without Messi, everyone would be salvating over Xavi's performance tonight. Can't really take any of the light off that guy though.

According to Uefa stats, at least 95 successful passes from Xavi tonight.
95. In a 90 minute game. That almost defies logic.
And at the Emirates? 95 successful passes. They guy is like clockwork.

And it allows me to post a link to the most hilarious Daily Fail headline of all time (and that's strong competition)
The best players of the world (and Xavi)
