Cheer up Madridistas! At least you're not as bad as Newcastle. w1hxgqm96EA

It's all the more gratifying that 9 months ago ppl, (mostly non-Barca fans) were saying we'd seen the best of Messi and his best days were behind him. Fast forward to now, and he's almost universally being hailed as the greatest footballer of his generation, with even staunch CR7 and Man Utd...

Yeah, I agree that it comes down to the high quality of youth players and coaches combined to produce such gems. Like I said; If the likes of Barcelona and Manchester United were mediocre, mid-table clubs, then they would be bringing through plenty of players through their academies, because...

FA Community Shield is a one-off game at a neutral venue. Spanish Super Cup played over two legs, home and away.

Messi-merising

One year to the day. It's strange how these coincidences come about eh?

Our lucky Black-Cat. Sign him/her up Lucho!

+1 This team deserves a guard of honour for what they have achieved this season. I have to admit though, that when RM were winning all those games (22 game win streak), and after our Anoeta performance I had serious doubts about Lucho. But hats off to him :tiphat: , the players and staff for...

It's mildly facetious to claim we were "lucky" to bring through those great players from La Masia into the first team over the last 12 years. I believe you create your own luck. To use an example; just look at what the Belgium National Team has done over the past 15 years. They weren't even on...

When Pele was playing, people thought no-one would ever be as good; then Maradona came along. Then those that watched Maradona play thought no-one could match him... now Messi is here. The game of football is still relatively young, and until recently was only massively popular in Europe and S...

+1 This is the most sensible argument. That's exactly why it WON'T happen! :brevet:

I can't believe the club would be STOOPID enough to a pay bonuses to a player that hasn't played a single second of first-team football... Oh, wait! I forgot who the President is: :bartomeu: :banghead:

That's right. Remember Messi's open-goal missed header against Citeh following his missed penalty?

Both Suarez AND Neymar have missed some absolute sitters this season. I'm not caning them for it, but I just goes to show that nothing is certain.

Don't feel sorry for this multi-millionaire footballer, doing his dream job. Any player or coach signing for RM knows or should be made aware of what exactly they are signing up for.

The best way to overcome a parked bus is to not allow the bus to position itself to begin with. As you mentioned, a vast amount of our goals come from counters and quick transitions, this rarely happened under Pep & Tito, because of their "Possession is King" strategy, defences were always set...

You know that Mascherano was kept out of the team by Hayden Mullins!? :amazed:

This doesn't surprise me one bit. He spent most of the match, standing in Juve's box, goal-hanging, expecting his teammates to do all the work and deliver him the ball on a silver platter so he could steal the glory.

From recent experience, esp. after Messi destroyed Bayern in SF 1st Leg, many Cristina fanboys and Man Utd fans have had their eyes opened to the undisputed, unquestionable, unmistakable reality that Lionel Messi is on an entirely different level.

+1 He was truly terrible at the Bernabeu. If that is how he is going to perform for the rest of the season, I hope he starts the UCL Final.
