Don't think it's outrageous to claim Ney and Leo had similar level's of impact in that CL run. Messi ran the show at home against City and Bayern. Two iconic matches, but apart from that Neymar was consistently more decisive. 3 goals in the tie against PSG, 3 very important goals against Bayern...

CL final appearances since Neymar moved to Europe in 2013: Neymar: 2 Messi: 1 CL final goals since Neymar moved to Europe in 2013: Neymar: 1 Messi: 0 :neymar:

If Suarez has a 0 rating in the CL knockout rounds over the last half-decade then Messi is no more than a 3. No need to pretend like Leo has been producing masterclass after masterclass when more often than not bloke's been just as diabolical and mentally weak as the rest of the team. One golazo...

It's okay Luisito. I will never forget the match where you dusted Luiz twice in the span of 10 minutes to seal our passage into the CL semi-finals. :wub:

City can lose to anyone and so can any team left in this edition's CL to be fair. The level of play is not that high. Football is a funny sport, I would not write off Madrid. Hell, had we not shite our pants in the 1st leg against PSG, I'd give us a shout as well. As for my previous...

Careful. Porto/Dortmund in the Quarter-finals, then anything is possible. Don't want to go down this road.

Won't hurt to try for him this summer. For this calibre of player you try to sign him as soon as possible. Either way, a lot of dead weight needs to be shipped out this summer and all the other signings will be free transfers. Whether we can afford to make Dortmund a good offer this summer or...

Most those players are well into their thirties. Are Madrid prepared to punt Benezma to the curb just to sign a player of similar age that could MAYBE fill his boots for another one or two seasons? Few of those names seem like lateral moves at best (Suarez, Auba), others are not actual strikers...

Easy to say that, but not as simple as it seems. Another striker may seem more clinical, but likely won't position himself for as many chances, nor score as many goals. How many relatively young strikers in world football (under 30) can you say are a good bets to hit 20 league goals? Kane...

Why is that level of production being mocked? 0.65 goals/game ratio is phenomenal. 1 goal/game has never been the standard apart from Messi, Ronaldo and Lewa/Suarez to a certain extent. Strikers scoring anything above once every two games have usually been considered world class or somewhere...

Despite Laporta having more time to lay the groundwork for Haaland's signing if it were to be next year I still think it would be easier to pull off in 2021 logistically. At a 75m release clause there will be 10 clubs in for him and Raiola will be able to start a bidding war on his client's...

Isn't the release clause only 75 or 80m? Dortmund would be fools not to cash out on him this summer for double the amount to only get pennies on the dollar for him next season if indeed Haaland does have a binding release clause in his contract. Also not as if Dortmund will be contending for...

Offers nothing and has a mediocre mentality. Not worry though, next weekend he'll bag a few against Elche and then it's happy days again.

One of the luckiest players in history. If he wasn't the third wheel of the Xavi-Iniesta midfield he would have been forced into retirement ages ago.

What match were you watching? :lol: Fortunately for you, and unfortunately for the rest of us Laporta seems keen on extending him.

Not sure what keeping him around for this season achieved other than saving a little bit of Barto's pride. This team needs a hard reset and Leo should be gone this summer.

Credit where credit is due. If your defense is clowning it up this lad has no problem punishing it. Argentina match and this one are his two most iconic performances.

Has nothing to do with trophies or success. Not bothered by not winning them every year. Just cannot stand to watch Messi-Suarez up top for another year walking, dragging the team's work rate, tempo, pressing and defensive contribution down, while ALSO losing. Losing is not the issue. Losing...

What a joke. Done watching the club for a while now. Will check back in January to see if anything interesting is going on. Later lads.

Said what I said and stand by those words. If he could have left, he would have. No amount PR spin can change that. Coming back now for a final season as he has no other choice. His case in court was a losing one.
