Keeper will blame lag for that

What a shot. Probably need a new ball now since that one is probably singed.

Holy shit he makes it look so easy.
The same Stoke that Spurs drew against? The Napoli that put out Man City? The Benfica that put out Man United? Results are results, and we're scraping some decent ones together.

Perfectly timed run and Messi finish

I fancy Real to win at the Camp Nou. They have been the better side the last couple of times they've played there.
Messi has a lot in Europe/cup I think. Ronaldo gets unfair flak in comparison with Messi though.
I'll miss the game because I'm going to see 21 Jump Street but there's no way Thursday doesn't affect Bilbao. Expect this to be a walkover and the Copa Dey Rey to be a brilliant match.
One of my very favourite players. If I made a list of players still playing, he'd be top 5/10. Brilliant.
Wow. Really?

Let's not get crazy. I love him and everything but...Messi.
Pretty fun movie, better than I expected it to be

And to think they could have both ended together in Barcelona... scary shit.
Messi what? Yes, Messi is the second best.

Yeah, but there's this little guy called Messi who scores whenever he fucking feels like it. Otherwise, I think Real have done better and better each time they've played Barca this season.

Ronaldo-Higuaín-Benzema
I lol hard of Bayern's attack formation.

Messi's the greatest player I've ever seen. I sit there sometimes reading about his goals and think 'he's just a great goalscorer' but then I watch him... he takes my breath away so much. I think it's exaggerated when commentators jizz over him every time he touches it, but he's phenomenal.
That would have never worked.
I have a hard time believing Mourinho will play them together against Munich or Barca.. probably back to his extra defensive midfielders
ronaldo's not even that close tbh.

Correcto, only because Iniesta is the best player in the World.
And well, Messi might be the third, because Xavi is even better football player.

Never.
Ronaldo is one of my favourites and I wish to God he was that good but it's not even a debate anymore. Ronaldo is a truly great player but Messi is within touching distance of being the greatest.
Messi is the player every football fan imagines they are. He is literally the stuff of dreams.
Ronaldo 2-0
:lol the celebration.
About Messi and Ronaldo. I think Messi is the best player in the world but Ronaldo is more enjoyable to watch. I love his trickery and goals like above.
this anti-hype nonsense again. they are both fine players, but it's only with messi rising to prominence. that barcelona has become a completely unstoppable juggernaut.

Btw, RBH have scored 97 goals so far this season.
The record of an attacking formation is from Eto'o, Henry and Messi with 100.

It's one of the best. It looks like he doesn't even swing it that hard but the ball just fucking flies.

Agreed. Expect for all those times when Messi dribbles the ball from mid field, passes by three defenders and then lobs the ball over the keeper and winks at the camera. Yeah, Xavi and Iniesta are better.......
They're not bullshit, but there's no way Xavi is a better player than Messi. He's brilliant, and maybe there's a case for Iniesta being close, but Messi's on another level.
Messi first, Iniesta second, Ronaldo third, Xavi fourth

Damn. What a goal by Nino.
Arbeloa, don't disappoint me. I support you over those Atlético fans who consider that Juanfran is better
