Pirlo is old and washed out. That's it. No way he is starting the final. And even if he does, it will be for 45 minutes max.

+1000000 Time for Pedro/Munir to prove they are worthy of our bench.

Yes he will. He wants the league won this Sunday! :barcascarf::laliga:

I am Iniesta's biggest fan, but there is no shred of any doubt that he has declined. Maybe as you say he was totally indifferent against Bayern, that seems to have been a game we intentionally dropped our level for. But yes, it is highly unlikely that we can rely on him for much longer being a...

I would gladly mutilate myself if that meant Messi, Xavi and Iniesta could all go back to 25 (OK, for Xavi 28) and stay there.

Those misses against Chelsea, still give me nightmares. Still waiting for Sanchez to score one important CL goal for us. Not a single one in 3 years! Definitely substandard for Barca. It was more then clear after his first season, yet people like to pretend otherwise.

Allow me to disagree. Messi has been the world's best player (with magnificent performances all around) for many years now, yet this is the first time we achieve such great results. Not even in the most glorious of Pep's days (08/09 and 10/11) have we performed so successfully in big games. We...

Dnipro barely got through the qualifying round vs Hajduk Split (2-1 on aggregate) Then barely got out of the group stage (Internazionale easily topped the group) ahead of Qarabaq and Saint-Etienne, with only 7 points (2 wins, one draw, 3 defeats) Then eliminated Olympiacos 4-2 on aggregate...

Back in 2009, we faced another Ukrainian side in the UEFA Super Cup, Shakhtar Donetsk. In 2006, we faced (and lost to) Sevilla. Good sign.

Fiorentina can't even score a penaldo.

Steaua Bucharest, CSKA Sofia, Spartak Moscow, Dynamo Kiev, Dinamo Tbilisi, Red Star Belgrade and Slovan Bratislava all had some excellent results in the time of the Iron Curtain. Barca themselves has had some very ugly defeats to Russian/Ukrainian teams. Our first Cup Winners Cup final resulted...

Sevilla! Masters of the UEFA Cup.

Zenit from 2008 were spectacular. They eliminated Marseille, Villarreal and utterly destroyed Bayern on route to their victory. Brilliant football, with Arshavin at his very best.

Dnipro have been in the shadow of Shaktar Donetsk, Dynamo Kiev and even Metalist Kharkov for several years now. But this is their breakthrough season in both the Ukraine and Europe. They are also owned by an extremely shady oligarch by the name of Ihor Kolomoisky.

Higuain. :cussing:

Dnipro are much better than I thought they were. Whenever I saw them play, they made very good account of themselves.

So, we probably have another Italo-Spanish European final!!! Latin Europe rulezzz....

Just because he assists less than Suarez and Messi we should not praise him very much? Or we should praise him less than the other two? Or we should not praise him at all? I don't get it. Pedro has assisted more? Yes, against already destroyed teams most of the time etc... The sheer number of...

Time is up. Players do not last for too long.

Would have been self-destruction if it did. No way they would do that. Now let's finish the league this Sunday and turn the Deportivo game into a mere fiesta, while also resting players. So, now it is just one game every weekend, until June the 6th.
