    Gerard Piqué

    Nope, after the 3rd, every odd number caution is a suspension(5th,7th). So if he gets a yellow card in each of the semi-final games, it's a suspension for the final. He has to be very careful.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    He did well. He was marked all night and could have scored early on. I'm sure he will do great on the second leg.

    Thierry Henry

    Yep, he gave it his all last season. But this season, he has no excuse. He didn't come off of a serious injury and I guess age is starting to be a factor. He's lost a few steps and I guess his mind does not realize this. Sell him while they still can get some decent money and then get either...

    Rafael Márquez

    I guess I defend Marquez too much because he's countryman and I really want him to do well with Barca, and the NT. But all criticisms you guys make are fair. But if it makes anyone feel better, Marquez has started 6 times in La Liga and hasn't conceded a goal. He started 2 times as CB in the...

    Rafael Márquez

    I say start him against Athletic. Pep really likes Marquez and trusts him. If he started Ibra when he was in a rough patch, why not give him a chance to prove his worth. Granted, Marquez job is to prevent goals, and Ibra's job is to score. If Marquez can't pull it off in this game, then he...

    Yaya Toure

    :hooray: , you have a point there. Well, to me it is going to be 50/50. Alves, Milito, and maybe Abidal are going to have to step it up regardless if it's Marquez or Toure.

    Yaya Toure

    It's funny how some of you(not all) have said that Yaya hasn't been playing well, yet you want him to start as CB, which is not his natural position. He played ok as CB last year in the Champions league final and semi-final, but that's also because he had been playing constantly and was in...

    Thierry Henry

    It seems that way. I mean, he started Jeffren. C'mon, even an out of form Henry is better than Jeffren.

    Jonathan Dos Santos

    He didn't have too many minutes to really tell how well he did. That would have been a play to Ibra had he stayed onside.

    Sergio Busquets

    Haha, so true man. Busquets has played 39 games altogether La Liga, Cup, UCL, and the other cup competition like World Club Cup. Toure only 24 games, most of which were UCL and Cup games. He has 14 liga games but most of them were as a sub. He also left for Africa, so he really hasn't had...

    Mario Balotelli

    I think he should distance himself from Serie A. His future is elsewhere because I don't think Italy is ready to handle someone like Balotelli. The EPL can handle people with egos, attitude, and with a prima donna mentality.

    Mario Balotelli

    Haha, did anybody see the MARCA video where it shows him putting an AC Milan shirt with his number and name? http://www.marca.com/2010/03/23/futbol/futbol_internacional/calcio/1269376251.html

    Injuries and suspensions

    Hopefully Piquenbauer can recover as soon as possible and hopefully this isn't a recurring thing.

    5 - Carles Puyol

    I don't know, if Milito keeps this up he might end up replacing Puyol sooner than later. As much as I respect Puyol and mostly every cule does, I feel(this is a hunch) that Pep doesn't really care too much for him. I remember him contemplating leaving Barcelona last year because because he was...

    Yaya Toure

    How is being top 2 or 3 DM right now being overrated? Maybe I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, name 4 DM ahead of Touré.

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    I really hope he someday becomes a great CB. I kind of feel sorry for him because he was signed by the best team in the world and for a large sum so the pressure and expectations are too much.

    Yaya Toure

    Dude, I was watching him most of the game and realized runs more than everybody. He goes back to defend, then he goes up to attack, then you see him on the left helping out a teammate, then he's on the right trying to take the ball away. What a beast.

    Rafael Márquez

    Like someone said earlier, you can't take 2 CB's and Yaya and expect the defense to be in the same rhythm as the team. Last year he was great. This year he has lacked mentally. I think where he has messed up every time is in his "positioning". All the goals that have been conceded by Marquez...

    Yaya Toure

    Nah, not really. I stated before that even though he doesn't play in many La Liga matches, he has started in every Champions League games except one. Yaya is a work horse who starts in every big game. He started in almost every champions league games last season and in the 6-2, 2-0 beating of...

    Eric Abidal

    I would say that he was top LB before he got injured, maybe top 2 or 3 if you have doubts. Only his fellow countryman could possibly be ahead.
