    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Elimination stages are incomparable to a year-long league. When it comes to elimination, anyone who scores the deciding goal is the deciding factor. But in the league, you acquire points throughout the season. It's much more relevant if someone is the key element in many of those games than if...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    To be honest, Barca without Messi was the backbone of the incredible 08-12 Spain NT. But still, I agree with Flavia. Messi won the 12-13 league pretty much by himself. We won games because even with our shit defense he managed to outscore the opponent on more occasions than I can think of.

    Sergio Busquets

    What a shocker. :lol:

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    I don't see why anyone would have problems believing the rumors were started by Neymar's camp. It's logical. Sometime in the near future he's going to be signing an extension, and these rumors, as stupid and unfounded as they are, will help him negotiate a better deal. Also, not having reached...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Barca wanted him to stay. But he wanted to leave, and Bayern paid his buyout. He probably would have stayed if he had had any reason to believe he had a future here.

    Alexis Sanchez

    Tbh, he's had much worse finishes than that one.

    Dang, nice shirt.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    More regular playing time will also help him fight for a place in the national team.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Class!

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    If I remember correctly, Neymar scored one against Cordoba and missed one against Villareal last season (someone correct me if I'm wrong). So his conversion rate last season is 50%. That must mean he's a shitty penalty taker, right? Of course not. It's pointless to claim that he's bad at...

    Andrés Iniesta

    I heard it has something to do with him milking a foul that got one of the Bilbao players sent off in 2010.

    Rafinha Alcantara

    Well said. I don't think anyone would hold a LW-Messi to the same standard they hold Rafinha. I know we're used to having him around for any midfield/attacking position, but we shouldn't forget that he too has spots that suit him better than others. RW probably being his best one.

    Jordi Alba

    Just saw a clip of the assist. Perfect timing, perfect cross, perfect everything. Alves couldn't dream of making such a cross.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Damn, a left-footed volley with the ball coming in from the left. That's just insanely difficult to pull off, and he did it perfectly.

    Thiago Translantara

    There are some cool videos about his recovery and his relationship with Rafinha on his Facebook page, for those who are interested. Some cute footage of the two of them playing football when they were just toddlers.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Wow, these last few pages are just toxic. I still can't fathom how people fail to understand that there's no basis to claim that player X would have a better conversion rate than Messi.

    Daniel Alves

    Alves, Adriano and Douglas all injured. :lol:

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Messi was key in winning a goddamn treble. I honestly doubt any kind of miracle from Ronaldo in the last few months of the year can override that to take away his BdO.

    Jordi Alba

    Walked right into that one. Fair enough. :lol:

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    I was out all day, didn't know about the lineups, missed the game etc. You can imagine my surprise when I came back to find out we won and Vermaelen of all people was awarded MOTM. :lol: Happy to hear that. Looks like we've got another good CB to count on this season.
