    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    Results are facts, not a matter of opinions. The fact is that since 2008 this team only managed 3 away wins in CL knockout rounds. 2 of those against Shakthar and Leverkusen, 2 irrelevant teams in Europe.

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    He did something I waited for a Barca coach to realize for EONS. Don't throw everything forward mindlessly just because you are up against 10 men!!! Now some complain "why didn't he take off Xavi for Neymar instead of Alexis and went for the kill". But that kind of mindset definitely didn't do...

    José Mourinho

    Just a week and a half ago he said Manchester City aren't anywhere near the top of Europe and will get elliminated in the CL soon where their true level will be exposed.

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    Barca didn't train any tactics when Tito was in New York. Fabregas actually confirmed this a few months ago. That the headcoach of a team is absent for cancer treatment for many months isn't the norm though and that should be clear. No idea why people keep on WUMing with those 2 results over and...

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    No, at a club like Barcelona no one scouts the opponents. We just appear on the pitch and see how it goes.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Actually he's still nowhere near 100 %. You could see it from his freekick which went straight into the wall, numerous uncharacteristic failed passes and that finish that went very wide. Still had a 10/10 game from a normal player's perspective. Ridiculous player. Can't wait to see the Barca...

    Alexis Sanchez

    Holy shit, he's reading this forum: Alexis: "I'm happy with the goals I'm scoring, but I still have to improve my dribbling." Last season his finishing was atrocious. If next season he improves his dribbling as much as he improved his finishing this season, by my calculations, he should...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    He will leave like his brother. Iniesta got another 4 or 5 seasons in him, pretty much like Xavi is still going with 34. Cesc is only 26. He won't get the playing time his father will demand. In his first season he might accept rotation. In his second he will already demand a lot more. In his...

    Jonathan Dos Santos

    For a second I thought he got demoted. :VdB:

    Andrés Iniesta

    A few more pictures from the Bayern game: This is the Freiburg goalkeeper after a back pass from Freiburgs' defender. You can't even see the Freiburg backline in their own half because he made that pass from around the halfway line. Freiburg trying to win the ball in Bayern's buildup...

    Andrés Iniesta

    Man, I think Barca fans have really lost their perception for "space". If what Real Sociedad did was "giving space" a few days ago (especially under the circumstances that they were a) playing at home and b) had to win by 3 goals to get into the Cup final), La Liga is a Catenaccio league right...

    Alexis Sanchez

    Couldn't get past his marker, made the wrong decision whether to pass to Messi or shoot (so he kinda did ... both), grabbed a 1 on 1 goal (didn't celebrate too much because he knew he didn't have the best of games), was a bit more lively after the opponent gave up but still couldn't dribble past...

    Barca draws Man City

    Rewatching the City - Chelsea game. Looks like they let the grass grow in the Etihad.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    It's not 1 game. It worked against Leverkusen away in 11/12, it worked when Barca trashed Valencia 5-1 in 11/12, it worked against Granada this season, it worked when Messi should have scored 5 goals in the Mestalla this season. And everytime everyone was surprised. Like today. Don't know why...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    I watched the presser yesterday. He said "the best player in the world deserves to be the best paid player", indirectly promising a new contract soon.

    Not sure if bathed in too hot water or fell on head.
