    Xavi Hernández

    Just through re-watching. Xavi was both very closely watched by Sevilla and absolutely superb all match - a lot of the critical comments of him are insane, really. Just a bunch of scripted, insipid, nonsense comments that have been getting passed around for ages and have absolutely nothing to...

    Andrés Iniesta

    Indeed. In Wembley we were never rattled and grossly underperforming, even in the opening period. There was no turn-around needed and we were always gonna win that game.

    Andrés Iniesta

    Rome or Wembley? I remember a tense opening spell in 09 but it wasn't Messi who turned that around.

    Andrés Iniesta

    Eh I don't remember much of a struggle for control of that match though, Barca pretty much played them off the park for 90 minutes.

    Iniesta Xavi Messi

    Xavi Hernández

    Ehmm..Iniesta. But yeah, Xavi was immense tonight, these two are still setting the standard for midfielders so I can't for the life of me understand the criticism.

    Andrés Iniesta

    Best player in the world to have when your team is struggling for control of the match (along with Xavi). Amazing tonight.

    Copa del Rey 2013/2014

    Modric and Di Maria are both miles ahead of Ronaldo for me.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic

    Yes, and by quite a wide margin.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    The way people function cognitively is subject to change on pretty massive scales.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Attitude plays a much bigger role than 'talent'. All this about people being superior from the start is nonsense, Messi was a 5lb little shit when he was born who couldn't so much as hold his own head up, nevermind kick a ball around the way he does now. This Newtonian conception of things has...

    Pedro Rodriguez

    In the 12/13 season, Pedro had 7 goals & 6 assists in La Liga, 9 & 2 playing for Spain. In his first season for Barcelona, he had 22 goals and 4 assists. But yeah, his role for Barca (what he's instructed to do) hasn't changed, he just began to suck horribly and has continued to start for what...

    Andrés Iniesta

    True that wasn't a fair description, but it seems that his reputation has taken a pretty massive - and largely unwarranted - dive lately. Nevermind top ten, still #1 for me, just a fair bit less exciting/flashy than last season.

    Andrés Iniesta

    Not necessarily. I like his response^ and would also add that what Iniesta is asked to provide for the team is different now with a player like Neymar playing as LWF. That's the major difference between Iniesta and so many other 'star players' in the world - he's happy to offer a much less...

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic

    Messi is allowed to walk, no? Has nothing to do with not giving his best either. Anyhow, newsflash: 6'5 targetmen do not move around and press like feckin' Sammy Eto'o. How any coach on earth could expect him to is beyond me.

    Barca draws Man City

    In fairness, Bayern beat them soundly at their home stadium at a time when the match actually mattered. They're a good side, but never on Bayern's level.

    Andrés Iniesta

    His "usual self" involves being the primary (or only) source of magic from our left side. Get used to that not happening.

    Barca draws Man City

    We're better all over the pitch, and with more experience in Europe by a good margin. City advancing would be quite an upset imo.

    Sergio Busquets

    Neymar better than Busi this season? In what parallel universe?
