Bin him in the summer. Certain users have been giving him a pass for all his errors, trying to spin everything he does into some sort of positive and desperately trying to give him the benefit of the doubt for anything. Fact of the matter is he is a a more idealistic, less accomplished/winning...

I liked his first half, but completely disappeared in the 2nd. Barto simply loves flushing hundreds of millions down the loo.

Not just one Clasico mate, he has been average for much of this season. Multiple levels worse than anything we've seen from him in the past 10 years. It's natural though, he is almost 33. Next home match against a minnow he will score a hat-trick and we'll be expected to lick his boots again.

Embarrassing, absolutely embarrassing. Two biggest matches of the season this past week and he puts on two lackadaisical, shambolic performances. Bloke should not be here beyond 1-2 seasons more at most. This rubbish I read about him being "better than ever" and "able to play until 40" is just...

Yup. This "magical" and invincible" aura surrounding Zidane is incredibly overstated. His 2016 and 2018 CL wins came mostly off the back of favourable refereeing and draws. Not to mention Cristiano + a younger core of key players in Marcelo, Kroos, Modric etc. A great man motivator and leader...

He would have the perfect and seamless Iniesta replacement. Makes it even more frustrating what this squad could look like today with some competent planning. Kante was another one that I wanted and was available for peanuts relative to today. We should be so much stronger than we are currently...

Calling him a top 5 player in the world is an insult. He is in the top three no questions asked. There are very few players in today's age that I rave about, but this bloke is one of them and he deserves every bit of the plaudits he gets. Wanted him since 2014 and would still go in hard for...

Never going to win the CL at this age with a supporting cast like the one at Juventus. Lad will continue to bag himself loads of goals in Serie A and win a few more league titles perhaps. EURO 2020 is where his real Ballon D'or hopes rest.

Oh, how the tables turn. :lol: City have bottled worse before, their defense is not great and the Ethiad is hardly a fortress, but this will be a very difficult result for Madrid to turn around. City have bagged themselves two away goals and Ramos is out for the 2nd leg.

City need an away goal now or else they're toast.

I'd also put money on 2012 Madrid beating them. That team was outrageously strong and likely comfortably beats Chelsea in the final if they had won the penalty shootout against Bayern.

Absurd really. Compare this current crop on display to the level of world football from 2005-2015 and it looks like a lower league altogether. Intensity, skill, talent, tactical nous; none of it is remotely comparable. It looks like a different sport. Those dominant Chelsea, Barca, Madrid...

Juventus are simply awful. Apart from Dybala and Ronaldo that club has very little talent.

I don't buy the rubbish that he was lazy or sulking, neither of which are true, but he simply was not good enough tonight. However, this notion that we are supposed to give him a pass for merely trying is absurd. Is that how low our standards for Leo have fallen in big CL away matches that we...

I haven't defended Rakitic seriously in the past 6 months. My comment in the live chat was a bit of tongue in cheek banter, that's all. As for Neymar, he certainly would have helped take some of the pressure off Leo in matches like this. Let's agree to disagree on this matter.

Typical CL away match from him. I don't expect anything from Leo in these types of matches anymore. Still expect him to be crucial in the return home leg though.

Warrior! :pique1:

He scored a goal any supposed world class striker should always be putting in the back of the net. Glad he got it, but am not going to praise the bloke over the moon for it.
