Or for their centenary game against Depor in the final.

Are Bilbao going to sell nearly 40,000 tickets for this though? It doesn't make it easy because it's at Camp Nou. Real have lost their last few finals at the Bernebeu in this competition to Atleti and Depor. The advantage for Barca is the wide pitch which will be in mint condition.

Shame he can't get a rest over the break. It'd be better for Argentina if they want him in good shape for the Copa.

First half was a horror show from us, at least at 1-1, but Madrid played at their maximum and were not going to keep that intensity up for 90 minutes. Their extra few days rest helped whereas we put a lot in to Wednesday playing our A game which is always difficult to replicate every few days...

Played well in the first half because he may as well have been playing against Barca B Barca were that poor, off the ball especially. Second half Barca actually turned up and he got no joy. Benzema and Modric were class first half and that really suits his great movement around the box.

Still gutted he didn't win World Cup but had he won that final it may have made him less hungry. His career could never top that and he'd have achieved everything.

It's time for him to move on. I think he's just growing stale here and not offering anything that someone like Tello wouldn't as a squad player. It's difficult as well when you're purely a back up rather than part of rotation. Let him got for 20 million in the summer rather than lose him for...

Sell him to the EPL for a good fee with a buy back in case he fulfils his potential. Similar to Romeu with market inflation and his potential factored in with the price.

He's heavily reliant on Penaldo's to boost his goal stats.

They've been poor most of the season in France (although they could still win the treble). They have done quite well in Europe but playing at their maximum they were lucky to beat us 3-2 iirc and we've improved since then. We just need to be sharp in our finishing and not give silly goals away...

I think we can make the final if we avoid Bayern and keep Messi fit. Then in a one off game we have a chance against anyone.

PSG are tough but we can beat them over two games. Blanc isn't the best coach around. Hopefully avoid Bayern in the semis and we've got a great chance at making the final. What's the situation with suspensions and injuries for PSG?

Falling behind Penaldo now in the CL. Probably just in time for their usual lucky draw tomorrow.

He is still getting loads of tap ins but he's missing some of them at the moment. He was also unfortunate not to score the other day in what was a typical Ronaldo performance. Normally he'd score a couple and get the headlines. What does affect his scoring rate is when he's not getting a...

You can imagine if Real got a Penaldo, the ref played advantage and someone else carried on and scored. CR would be demanding the Penaldo just for his own stat.

He clearly doesn't care about the team at all or even pretend to, he's all about himself. He was visibly annoyed when Bale scored the first because his shot didn't go in. After the second goal he was just desperate to try and claim it for himself. He won't even take corners or free kicks now...

He'll even hold back again for Portugal to make sure they go into a play off again just in time for the voting. I think Messi needs either the CL this season or a starring role in Copa America. Otherwise he'll have to keep the goalscoring form up until November otherwise Penaldo will pip him...

Luiz is usually a very good big game player. Champions League final for example. The one real blot being the Germany game when up until then he'd had a great tournament. Maybe he does need Silva next to him.

Pogba or Veratti should be the aim for 2016 along with a quality right back.

Poor team performance but Messi dug it out.
