I think Messi has a great chance of winning the balon d'or. He'll be breaking Telmo Zarras record this month which is a HUGE accomplishment and if he beats Reinaldo to becoming all time CL top scorer at 27 that's another huge advantage. You also have the clasico. It's a damn shame Atletico...

Messi is pretty much even or close to all of Ronaldo's career stats despite being 2 and a half years younger. A lot of people forget the age gap. Barring injury, Messi will surpass all of Ronaldos stats eventually.

You're forgetting Messi has more goals in the knockout rounds.

Would like to see an in depth comparison of his goals in the CL vs Messi's. Messi has scored a fair share of penalties too but Ronaldo seems to always get penalties and goals in meaningless matches/late in already won matches.

We need a RB version of Abidal to allow Alba to bomb forward.

Albas strengths are pace and attacking contribution. He's only a slightly above average defender who looks better because he's extremely fast. Up against Lucas he looked awful. Alba would probably make a phenomenal wingback but in the defensive sense, there are better fullbacks.

I've always thought Alba was overrated on here. He's a pretty good LB but he relies on his pace to bail him out A LOT. Lucas was faster than him so he absolutely destroyed him. I think David Alaba is a better overall LB. Like has been said on here; Alba and Alves leaves us with only 2...

PSG 0 3 Barcelona

Should definitely reach 30 goals 30 assists in all competitions if he keeps this up. Maybe even 40/40. That would be absolutely astonishing.

If we win one Champions League with Mathieu as a key player; he'll be worth the fee for sure. :mathieu:

Can't wait to see him link up with Messi and Neymar. Messi is going to have over 30 assists this season. Maybe even 40.

After Tito(RIP) who was supposed to be Pep's heir and a true Barcelona man gave very little minutes to young players that could've really helped us like Tello, Bartra, Montoya to an extent, and definitely Thiago; then the Tata era where he started off interestingly but then stuck with the same...

He doesn't suck but he's better as a DM. He puts in some great performances at CB sometimes but there are times when his lack of height and awareness get exposed. A lot of us thought he'd be used as an occasional CB as well as DM sometimes to rest Busquets. Nothing has changed as he's started I...

Would've liked to have seen Ter Stegen again. Pedro and Masch :facepalm:

While I don't agree with Milner as our permanent RB; he is a very underrated player and the type of utility player every big club could use. City have Milner, Dortmund have Grosskreutz, we have Adriano, and other clubs have other players that can fill in at various positions. You just come off...

Mangala was immense. Mangala-Kompany should without question be City's first choice CB pairing.

Levante 0-4 Barcelona

I don't understand why Van Gaal took off Di Maria and Falcao; perhaps his 2 best players. Mata did nothing but get trampled and Januzaj didn't really do anything. Man U really need a CB even more than we did. People will laugh at Man U and blame it on Moyes and now Van Gaal but a lot of this...

I still think he would've developed more if he stayed at Dortmund. Sure, he has moments of brilliance and scored the world cup winning goal but honestly with what he showed 3/4 years ago; a lot of us thought he and Neymar would be seriously competing for the Balon D'or by now. I think they'll...

We could've won at least 4 or 5-0 against APOEL with a full strength lineup. Xavi and Iniesta often are way too hesitant to push forward for counterattacks. Thankfully we now have Rakitic who has loads of energy and is more direct. There's no reason why we shouldn't have some of the deadliest...
