I loved how the players threw him in the air last night like he was our key man this season! Such a great guy, he just has to stay in the coaching staff!

He'd be what when his contract here ends? 32-33? I honestly can see him staying and seeing it out.

Frank has now won every possible silverware at club level in England!

Completely bossed the midfield in the first half, though tbf, that's not a big achievement considering how bad Frank and Luiz were!

Spent half the match in the offside, but he did cause the Benfica defense a lot of trouble. Wasn't as bad as people are making him out to be. Luiz and lamps, for example, had much much worse performances tonight. Anyway, it doesn't matter, what matters is that the trophy is ours!

Another 2 assists in finals for Juan. Our new big-match player! Btw, those 2 assists take him to 8 assists in European competitions this season. More than any other player in any club! (Zlatan second with 7).

Don't get your hopes up about him leaving. He still has his immense wages. Besides he said, once again, after the game that he hopes to stay at least till his contract expires in 3 years.

And Torres has another great performance against Benfica. That Goal was just sooo good! So unlike him (even his former liverpool self). Reminded me of Drogba, actually.

Our Hero! Had an excellent game in defense as well. Had to with the lousy job the our pivot was doing.

Whenever we start calling for his head, he goes and has a performance like that!

So happy we won. Wasn't pretty, but we did it! Credit wher it's due, thank you Rafa for helping us win the EL!

Me too, I just never had the legs to pull them off!

I've rarely been confident about a match like I am about this one. And I'm confident we're going to lose. I just know it in my guts!

Just highlight a part of their post and click "Mention" when the little pop-up appears.

I think Alex will close the voting after the game today.

I am Hold me, Jay!

I like the first one he made more, tbh. (He uploaded that to vimeo)

Well yes that makes more sense in theory, but in practice those changes that require shifting positions take a lot of work on the training ground so everyone knows his role. That is something we have suffered from gravely this season. We have been playing twice a week all season. I'm actually surprised by the work Rafa has done with so little time to train and implement his ideas. I'm in no way denying that his subs are completely shit, but in this particular case, I can see why he did it.

I just want it to end before I go too far ahead of you that it becomes embarrassing for you!

@, when does the voting close? I don't think we'll be getting much more votes, the topics have been inactive for a while.

Don't even joke about that! Rami on the wing and Lamps next to Mikel in the pivot if that's true.

Yes of course had amazing shooting technique, what I meant is that he never paused in his run or did anything too fancy with his body shape. Honestly he never needed to. He always hit them hard and into the corner which is the most difficult and most effective pen.

Agree. I would imagine the keepers, at the very least, have been prepped for pens.

Tbf, Ballack was never about the technique in taking pens but rather brute force. I know he's bound to have missed some with Bayern, but I have personally never seen him miss a pen.

I expect Barca to spend big this summer so I can see that happening, but surely not for 50m. I think Spain would suite Neymar much more than say Italy or England so it would be a good move for him.
