Falcao? On a different note, how can Arsenal steal youngster after youngster from us?

I agree. At least Tello has one ore two weapons with which to hurt opposing defenses, while Pedro has completely lost his mojo for years now.

What are Liverpool doing in this match? Don't they care? It's as if they are playing a friendly or something.

Aha. 4 mega-rich clubs for the EPL in the CL next season.

What's the latest word on Messi? Is his foot OK? Will he play versus Celta tomorrow?

To be fair, Alexis took the shot very early and powerfully, so that can only be partly blamed on Mognolet at most. But he was definitely at fault for the Ozil goal. I mean, he set up the wall to protect his left hand sight so that he only has the right side to worry about, yet he stands dead in...

I haven't seen the Bellerin goal, but Ozil's free-kick, even though very well taken, was all Mignolet's fault. But it was a simply astonishing goal from Alexis Sanchez.

That was an awesome goal from Alexis!

They are very lucky they were drawn against Oporto. As for Thiago, he has been away from football for a very long time now. It will be exceedingly hard for him to get into the rhythm and into the Bayern team right now, it will take weeks at best.

Good. Very nice to hear that. But even if Messi does not play versus Celta Vigo, I would still expect Neymar and Suarez to deliver. I think that it would not be such a great disaster if Messi did not play in the next game.

I hope that Messi is faking it so that he will be rested, protected and fresh for our upcoming epic battles.

Is Messi playing?

I was really worried when I heard about his injury. Thank God he will be out for only 10 days. We should consider ourselves lucky over that. It means that he will miss the pointless friendly against the Dutch, and also our fixtures against Celta Vigo away and Almeria at home. I am guessing that...

The point I was making regarding Bale's transfer fee was that it makes sense for Real Madrid to try and recoup that money as long as Bale is still very young and can be shifted to the EPL and re-invest the money in another (or others) more talented player. Messi was way better than £30m when...

How has he been doing since returning from that injury?

Wasn't Gundogan out for one year or something? Can we take such a gamble? And isn't Pogba the most potent young midfielder overall? Sure Veratti is better on the ball, and Koke is more systematic and focused (also also Spanish) but Pogba combines, technique, passing, power and height. I think...

Great. As we clearly need a world-class midfielder, whom people in here think that we should bring in? Pogba? Koke? Veratti? Somebody else?

As I see it, Real Madrid have an excellent chance in cashing in on Ronaldo this coming summer. As he will be finishing next season as a 31-year-old, it makes sense for Real Madrid to sell now when Ronaldo is still scoring lots of goals and is not considered old. If by next season, the...

It's more than fair. Bilbao fans will get exactly the same number of tickets that our fans will get. So, equal vocal support, and more money for Athletic. The Basques are not stupid, this serves their interests very well. Another thing, is that Atleti actually won that final. Home...

Yup. They have lost lots of ground on Valencia, Atletico and even Sevilla. They are out of the CL spot race. But they will easily hang on to EL places since they are now done with Europe.
