Fair enough. However, the treble is rare and I believe it is rather independent of a particular player's form. Real need him right now to play his best, and he is playing really well.

Yeah, but his form is picking up when it matters most.

Messi/Ronaldo debatable :lol: :lol: Just finished watching the replay of Real/Atletico and wow, Real should have gotten so much more out of that game. If they had a serious goal scoring threat playing alongside Ronaldo this could've easily been a route.

Liverpool played very defensive, almost bus-like in the second half and Arsenal played god awful in defense despite having success going forward. I agree the performance of Barcelona needs to improve, especially putting in a good performance for 90 minutes, but I wouldn't quite look in that...

April 13th. First leg of SF will be on April 24/25 with the return legs on May 1/2. The final will be May 26. Damn, if a Barca/Real final does happen, there will be three weeks of build up between that including a league match on May 6.

Kinda dumb for the LB to overplay that position considering his CB didn't even try to cover for him, but it was still nonetheless a nice and quick read by Arthur.

Would really like to see Pique and Iniesta rested and Mina and Denis to get some time. However, with the Roma tie all but over, its possible (albeit not that smart) that Ernesto tries to go with a strong 11 with limited rotations to chase the undefeated season.

It has finally happened. :barcascarf:

A combination of Barca's pragmatic approach to games and inevitably, cule's anxiety regarding RM potentially winning their third straight CL is making some people say some crazy things. :amazed:

Semedo OG Rakitic

In CL, OG has almost as many as Messi. Legend. Give this person their own thread in the player chat.

If Paulinho is going to start, then it had better be in 442 :bounce:

In addition, its been a while since he has scored in a CL QF. Last time he did Xavi was on the team. But, Messi is known for breaking these long "anti"-streaks in regards to goal scoring. Fully expect him to put at least one in the net.

Since 2011, even by casuals Messi is considered the better player. You'll be hard pressed to find polls or statistics that would suggest otherwise. Anyway, theyr'e both fantastic and will be remembered as legends. With that said, I'll never understand why some people get so worked up about who...

What you really need to ask is if they were deserved. Dybala deserved to be sent off, not sure how you can even argue that. Vidal's 2nd yellow was unjust, but prior to that he was putting himself at risk and could've been sent off earlier. Verratti was on a yellow already, probably harsh to send...
