Santiago.

You're right. Messi's influence is truly inspirational and without him Iniesta, Xavi, and Busquets wouldn't shine. He's so good, he influences them on the Spanish national team too...

Xavi Iniesta and Busquets beg to differ

Precisely. Hate everything about them and hopefully they will be just as gullible in signing Torres

Malaga

God even when he's shit the twat breaks records left and right

3 points please

Why?

Juve has the home advantage

Essien has been nothing but below average at Madrid when playing CDM. He actually performed well when he was deployed at RB by Mourinho

Yet last year towards the end of the year they lacked a pure finisher. Messi was racking up goals left and right, but Villa's absence gave them no presence of a player just to put the ball away. It's been hurting them throughout their campaign. If they are predictable offensively then how have they had so much success in the past years if not being able to cope with? Their past few games was down to management which is how they were so condensed and narrow. Iniesta/Cesc out wide is always going to cause damage but limit their width. I've always said Barca are better when Iniesta/Cesc/Xavi are not on the pitch together. At the Camp Nou, they played to their strengths and tweaked their tactics which got them their victory in such a performance. Not to mention Barca's off the ball pressure causes the highest amount of pressure to the opposition and tend to fail in keeping possession, hence Barca having so much of it. Which I am fully expecting that happening to Bayern. I do agree however about their defense in exception to Alba and Puyol. You put pressure on them, you expose them. Madrid has learned this through trial and error. They are beatable, but they are still the best team in Europe and 100% justifiable.

Mostly due to Barca not having a fucking manager for a couple months now. And people say it's a walk in the park to manage Barca... Their performance against Milan was possibly the best I've seen from them since 2011, no matter how shit Milan were. I don't support this, "Bayern is the best team in Europe" trend at all. I despise both clubs and I wished they both drew each other, but Barca is still easily the best team in Europe.

Anything less than 3 points is unacceptable

Against Aston Villa, Wigan, West Brom. Sure

That is specifically why we should absolutely thrash them at home

Always wondered whether Ivanovic was doing that purposely, or if that really scared the shit out of him I am 100 percent sure that if We play this ------------Luiz------------ Hazard---Oscar----Mata -------Mikel--Ramires It would be more effective than with having Torres. 100 percent.

Think this is where you're supposed to Fuck off. Follow the trend like the Napoli/Benfica/and Bayern fans did, as bitter as they were. You are so beautifully rattled.

Our Away Support at Old Trafford and Spurs always brings tears of joy.

Kinda want to win the competition now.

Now imagine if he actually took that penalty in Munich....

PSG vs Barca might actually be a close game.

Kalas and Benat. /Thread

If we can't fucking beat West Ham at home with our current group of players, starting lineup and bench, rested or not. Then we seriously have to fucking take a long look at ourselves

LOL!!!!!
