I agree. Especially the first half. In that first half I think we played our best football of the season so far (and possibly beyond) It was a masterclass in how to utterly dominate a strong opponent on their own patch. Put Messi in that first half, and Inter would get annihilated. On the...

Which is less that Piatek or Immobile. :wave: I would not say that Serie A is "shitty", but it's number 3 in Europe at best. And yes, CR is playing for the only team that can win said league. He has decidedly avoided any kind of major challenge.

The Don, doing Don things.

Yes. It is. He also created another a couple great chance in the final 10 minutes.

Inter - Genoa Spalletti has left out: Icardi, Nainggolan, Asamoah, Miranda, Valero, Candreva and Vecino. Saving seven (!) starters for us. Edit: Inter B, 1-0 up against Genoa early on. Edit 2: Inter B 2-0 up against Genoa after 16 minutes. Serie A must be ultra-competitive.

I want him to concentrate his efforts 100% on Barca. Argentina NT has done nothing but spoil his glorious legacy.

1-3

No. But, I would like Messi to score a hat-trick in the CL final of 2019. :barcascarf:

To be perfectly honest. That's exactly what it was. It was as if, Jesus and his apostles came down to earth, and decided to play the perfect football match. It was the quintessential sample of what Barca and THAT generation of greats could do on a green rectangle. I have never seen anything...

Since we have just recently dished yet another spanking to our great eternal rivals, I thought it interesting to ask the good people of this forum on which particular Real Madrid thrashing is their favorite. The 2-6 massacre during Pep's first season? The 5-0 demolition of Mourinho/CR150? The...

Why doesn't everyone do it all the time?

Expected goals: Barcelona 3.15 - Real Madrid 2.15 The scoreline flattered us.

Rafinha was far and away our worst player yesterday. I was bitching from 15 minutes in for him to be subbed off. The simple reality is that Rafinha is nowhere near good enough to be starting for Barca, I would say that he is extremely lucky to be anywhere near our training grounds. We loaned him...

Suarez Alba Roberto

I have not seen anyone say that CR is not an all-time great. What I am saying (and I think many others in here as well) is that he is not as good as Messi and that his fanbois comparing the two and even claiming that CR is better, is the football equivalent of sacrilege.

Ronaldo's assists are mostly short passes when the opposing team's defense has already been neutralized. You comparing Messi's creativity with Ronaldo's (or lack thereof) just demonstrates your complete ignorance of the game of football.

Rafinha - Beyond atrocious.

Why did you omit the 0-3 from last season?

2-1 Suarez, Coutinho Ramos

If this is what you meant, then we are in agreement. BTW, I am not denying the obvious fact that CR is hyper-effective, I'm only saying that some really poor performances on his part get overlooked because of a goal, and one that is not nearly as spectacular as today's.
