Just back so wanted to say I watched the Copa final and his winning strike from range was a really great moment that will live long in the memory.

You can argue that it is more impressive to pull off saves when you have had far less to do and need to be mentally switched on. If you're constantly making saves throughout a game you never really have down time and never have a chance to switch off. Not saying this is right, just that you can...

Alisson for me but both exceptional goalkeepers.

That's the right attitude to have - perfectionist. At my infinitely lower level I am the same - think about the things I did wrong in a game rather than the stuff I did right.

I know the rules are the rules and the RM player's arm was mostly by his side and he could do nothing about it. But I still feel that should be a penalty. The ball looked like it was going in the net. If replays show that the ball is definitely going in the net, and the keeper will get nowhere...

Don't know if Konate is top 5 but he is definitely excellent.

Yeah true, that too. Never bothered to mention that but that is true. Might be no truth to it anyway. Big clubs are linked to everyone. Hope you are ok mate.

He's a genius of a player, he really is. I know he isn't from La Masia, but he might as well be as he fits right in. Think he could have fit in in that GOAT Barca squad Pep had. Hopefully he has no more troubles and is even better when he reaches his peak - he's only 22 still. What I love most...

Yeah he's good. Though almost 30 so he won't have years and years left of his prime.

Very harsh to score a hat-trick in a Clasico and still lose, lol. Happy Barca won though, obviously.

The boy and Barca in general (and Man United's woes) are the things keeping me interested in modern football. He makes it look so easy, so so natural looking.

I rate him as having a lot of talent, but he's not a great guy at all. He does things for kids fair enough, but he drunk drive during lockdown and clearly cheats on his girlfriend. Far from a good person. Drink drivers and adulterers will never ever be good people. You think he's a good person...

He will be back to being him soon. He will be THAT GUY.

Let's put it this way - if Barca can't progress despite going to Dortmund with a four goal lead, they wouldn't have been worthy European champions anyway. Best not to worry about stuff that is rarely likely to happen. Especially not when Leganes drawing is a bigger possibility than Dortmund...

Hi All Might.

Yeah, I think at worst they win by two goals. I guess if they go three up Barca could collapse and concede the fourth but it's highly unlikely. If he is concerned about that then he's simply going absolute worst case scenario rather than being practical. If he'd have rested most of the team...

He shouldn't underestimate Dortmund, but if he was worried about going to Germany with a four-goal lead then I don't know what to say. He's done the right thing as this is by far the more important game to not lose. This is a departure from me saying they deserve to be respected before the...

Now, maybe there were the same amount of loons out there (and celebrity worshippers) who obsessed over Maradona and Pele as loons do now over Messi and Ronaldo. Or maybe there were a lot of loons who were obsessed with the Ballon d'or and WPOTY. The point is, they weren't all able to congregate...

This game is way more important than the game in Dortmund, from the perspective that Leganes even getting a draw is far more damaging than Dortmund beating you by three (though the latter is bad for confidence).

It really wasn't anywhere near as big as it is now, as others say Messi and Ronaldo (latter's campaigning for it) has turned it into this holy grail that it never was before. 2006 is relatively recent, even though still before Messi and Ronaldo winning it. but Ballon d'or and World Player of the...
