Still, he has big problems with those corner corsses.

No-one can replace Xavi. Sorry.

That's why he should be a commentator if doesn't want to coach.

Xavi already stated several times he doesn't plan to be a coach as he is too soft to people when discipline is needed. Though, he wants to stay in football world.

Yes, he did. And he was awesome. Actually, there's a debate in Spain whether La Roja should change formation to Barcasque 4-3-3. This would probably mean Silva or Cesc in false 9 role and dropping Xabi Alonso from midfield.

I heard it's 5s but it's not the only thing that does the trick. Many treams try to replicate our pressing game but somehow Barca's way of doing it still stands out.

B.E.A.S.T. I hope he will retire here and become Barca legend.

That is 3 clear penalties on Messi uncalled so far taking those calls from Real-vs-Rayo game as the benchmark.

Not at all. He got hit by Valdes or BATE striker early on the game while clearing the ball in the penalty box. It has nothing to do with age or being injury prone.

What drew my attention was his first touch passing. It seemed better or was it just weak opposition?

Seen only second half but those were very good 45 minutes from him. Nice assist. He's clearly improving.

What do you mean?

Wow. There are so many socios freakingly pissed off with Mourinho on the General Meeting day. I didn't expect there are so many unhappy people accusing Perez & Mourinho for trashing Madrid's image. It really may be 'make it or break it' for Mourinho this year.

Did he really? I think he just said Rooney took it to another level, which is quite true and isn't equivalent to being better. I can't recall it right now, but if he did he was obviously wrong. Anyway, Wayne is really special player, those balls he plays in midfield are often very clever, he...

Why did he choose Atletico Madrid? Surely, he could have been transfered to a top team with a prospect of winning Champions Leauge in coming years. Was it about money or his father, grandfather, and grandgrandfather were Atletico fans?

Mr Worms seems to be very far from being a football pundit. He laughed Robbie Fowler who said Rooney took false '9' role to another level, which is actually very true in case of United, as they didn't buy any OM/AM and Rooney does drop extremely deep to run the midfield, pace the game, send long...

Great pass to Messi, he revitalised the midfield but at the very end of the game he had the last good chance to make it 2-3 and waited too long. Shame.

Messi and Xavi the greatest players in Barcelona history. Let's put it this way.

You mean Cristiano Ronaldo from 2008 or 2009? Things change mate. Cristiano is in his decline lately. I don't know what happened to him - whether it's too much muscles building in the gym - but he has lost lots of his feats: his agility is gone, his dribble is gone, his shots are gone. He...

Actually, Fowler is kind of right. Partly at least. Apart from Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney is most complete attacking minded footballer out there. Watch and enjoy: There's just everything in his game: long pass, short pass, through ball, 50 yards ball, running the midfield, pacing the game...
