    Seydou Keita

    Keita had a good game today. great energy covering in defence, and played a huge part in the opening goal; first playing keep-ball on the touchline with Bilal, then playing a superb pass to Thiago, THEN making an excellent run to provide Messi the option. the cross was just academic after that.

    Maradona or Messi

    Maradona beat Sacchi's Milan to the Title once, which Mancini's Sampdoria (the year after) and Serena's Inter (the year before) managed as well. in fact Sacchi's Milan were so all-conquering they won a grand total of one Scudetto (Capello's Milan won four, methinks you're conflating the two)...

    Thiago Translantara

    I thought his touch back to Messi was so unbelieveably sexy.

    Andrés Iniesta

    we should go 3133 as Milan play with 2 strikers and Dani is suspended. but we'll see.

    Maxwell

    thought Greasy Max was excellent today. he'll always be useful in games like this, at the Camp Nou against lower-ranked teams mostly out to defend.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    lovely goal, but he should have notched a hattrick. still, his interplay was magnificent.

    raw lightning when he came on.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    it's not the same type of football. Pep took us back to basics and our play now is different to our play in 2006 at the height of Rijkaard's reign. I always thought we were only going after Beckham as a decoy to get Real to spunk their summer budget on him so we could sign Ronaldinho uncontested.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    I was arguing Nolan's point that La Masia's current success won't last and the evidence for this is seen in England & Ajax. I don't know if we'll see another generation like this, but this isn't like the United situation where all the players were around the same age, we have a real staggered...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    oh it was a fantastic bit of business, without a doubt. but at the time, it was a risk, and that's what I'm saying. that's why no one contested Madrid's efforts to get him. it wasn't that they had magnificent scouts no one else did, it was that they were willing to spend on a player one year...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    other clubs obviously didn't feel that he was worth the fee. common sense says to not buy players after a great tournament as you'll usually get burned. add that to the fact that his contract was up in a year and I guarantee you the top clubs were all happy to let Özil stay there for a season...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    I get what he's trying to say (I think... he's all over the place) the Quinte Del Butre had 5 canteranos whereas since Pep has come in we've had 11-10-11 (or something like that) in the first-team squad and he's promoted a whole bunch of other kids besides that. and that a large group of our...
