After show in US (FoxSports) saying Neymar should have been sent off for simulation in the 77th minute. Haven't found a replay. I guess it would never happen in a game of this magnitude.

Superb match that and very impressive from Barcelona. The pressing from both sides was incredible.

Yeah, even at 0-0 at the half I was pretty impressed - the quality had been very high...I was getting nervous for them as they failed to capitalize on a number of chances in the 1st half but then there's Leo who looked the business since his pressy yesterday

3-0 flatters Bayern & Pep, it was even worse than that, IMO...I worried after the great run of goals of late that the trident might start to get antsy should they misfire, as they ended up doing...But Messi is without peer and I liked the look of his game from the off, very determined - you can tell how much tonight meant to him and more than anyone on the night, he was on...That celebration even on Neymar's goal was a great reflection of that

Thought Suarez & Neymar showed how fallible mere mortals appear compared to a phenomenon like Leo but great win...Loved Alves' game on the night, he was tremendous on both ends

Hate Neymar. One of the softest players I've ever seen. Was buzzing when they got rolled at the Wc

Messi. What a very good player he is.

Shame he'll never take the top prize in the game though. Never really shone on the biggest stage of all for his country in the World Cup. If he'd won that he'd legitimately have a shout for one of the best players ever,

Hard lines that.

Aye. get him signed Bobby. He can challenge Naisey for the right to slot in behind Kone in our tough away trips to QPR

Would you give him a 6/10 for tonight, Dave?

Not sure if he can do it on a wet Wednesday at stoke though....

 

[davek]

He is already one of the best players ever. If he won a WC he'd probably be in the mix for greatest of all time.

I agree. It is an exclusive club though and you need to have that WC winners medal to be up there in the company of Maradona and Pele.

Oh, look who it is

He's no Naismith.

@Woolly Blue can't I even have my tremendous Negatron powers back just for this? Pls xx

It would be fascinating to see what Naisy could do in a team like Barcelona...or what he could do to it.

You know, I used to like Barcelona a bit.
