Hat trick Messi.

After missing a month in the beginning of the season, Messi is now back to being the top scorer in La Liga. Ridiculous.

As Cruyff said, Messi will end up being awarde many Ballons d'Or....

Pretty much.

Needs to be in the conversation when it comes to GOAT freekick takers. People always go to Juninho but after him who is there? Beckham? Ronaldinho?

After Juninho? Messi is probably taking over anyway.
Then it will have to be Mihajlovic, the racist c*nt.
After him, probably Ronaldinho. Calhanoglu was quite good but he has disappeared from the scene lately.
Platini, the fat corrupt thicko, was also decent.

Is it normal to have matches on a Wednesday at 20:00CET or does the Spanish FA want their precious El clásico to clash with our semi-final?

If you look at the numbers, Messi is far behind Beckham or Ronaldinho.

No, this is the one that was supposed to be played about 2 months ago but had to be re-scheduled because of the protests on independence. I think they had to get it in before their winter break

Dreadful excuse for a Clasico. 2 busted flushes. Like watching Audley Harrison fight David Haye.

Was good up until a couple of seasons ago, now they're utterly dreadful outfits. Neither of these will even get to the Champions League semi-finals.

I miss the days of the Ronaldinho classico's, where he'd make mugs of Real defenders.

Just put this on for possible handbags. Totally disappointing in that respect...

Palace vs Brighton was more entertaining.

90 minutes of utter shite. About as enjoyable as watching paint dry.

Dreadful stuff, as expected really, no hope for either of these in the CL.

Spanish football is one of the most boring leagues to watch in Europe, those el classicos have been dire to watch for years

Rather watch Italian football every day of the week

Madrid was good in the 1st half but 2nd half was a dire watch.

Bob Sacamano · « **Reply #5819 on:** December 19, 2019, 03:19:09 am »

I thought it was an excellent and well played match. Madrid played much better than I expected. Benzema, Valverde and mendy were especially impressive I thought. If they play like that they will give Manchester City all they can handle.

Yeah, really tight tactical battle. Madrid stopped Barcelona playing, and probably deserved the win.
Both teams will be hard to beat in the CL knockout stages. If the Madrid backroom staff do the same job preparing the players for City as they did for this game, I think they'll be able to knock City out.

latortuga · « **Reply #5821 on:** December 21, 2019, 05:00:29 pm »

Umtiti's regression is quite staggering and he's approaching the prime of his career. Obviously hasn't had a lot of game time of late with Lenglet and Pique Valverde's preferred pairing at the back, but the number of straight forward passes under no pressure that he was missing by quite a distance was really quite shocking. No reason to fear this Barca team in the CL knockout rounds, as above I probably give Merengues more chance right now.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #5822 on:** December 24, 2019, 12:02:34 pm »

Atletico signing Cavani apparently. Pushing to get him in January, but if not then the summer.

If he signed in January could he play for them against us?

Samie · « **Reply #5823 on:** December 24, 2019, 12:11:36 pm »

Yeah, same as Minamino could play for us too. They changed the rules last season.

Thought so, but always worth asking. Hopefully he won’t join til summer anyway.

Painful watch Griezmann play for Barcelona. He looks so out of place.

Watch him score now.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #5826 on:** January 4, 2020, 09:21:44 pm »

Barca 2-1 up now.

kloppagetime · « **Reply #5827 on:** January 4, 2020, 10:25:34 pm »

Atletico Madrid would probably be top right now if they signed a proper Griezmann replacement instead of João Felix who so far has proven to be a horrible fit for them.

King Kenny 7 · « **Reply #5828 on:** January 5, 2020, 12:32:45 am »

Barca doing everything they can to help Real out, I mean Espanyol are getting relegated . . .

Cant see how Valverde is holding on to the job, are they really looking to face Napoli with him in charge?

Embarrassing decision from the Spanish F.A to 'revamp' the competition in this way to be honest. The most obvious and unnecessary cash grab imaginable.

Suareznumber7 · « **Reply #5830 on:** January 9, 2020, 07:49:57 pm »

The Madrid-Valencia game yesterday was shocking. Valencia played like they were there to just make up the numbers. At least this Atlético-Barcelona game is competitive. Jaoa Félix getting into everyone’s face here including Messi’s.

Yep, absolute wank. Loads of past it and never been it players being carried by a few top level operators in Ter Stegen, de Jong and Messi.

Barca are a two man team it seems these days

Dont usually watch Spanish footy, but it seems ESPN has picked up this daft Super Copa competition, so just switched this on to see Messi carrying Barcelona again.

Awful commentator though on this, whoever it is.....

Oh wait, that's hand ball. No goal.

And now it is 2-1.

Atletico being ripped apart here every time Barcelona attack.

b_joseph · « **Reply #5835 on:** January 9, 2020, 08:24:06 pm »

Refs get in the way of Messi genius...but a minute later, Greizmann scores. Barca have really upped it here.

Atletico have fallen apart in 20 minutes.

No goal again. Offside by a few inches!

A.M have been ripped to shreds in this half. Thats another Goal ruled out for Barca but they have been dominant
