Mat, how could you miss it?
I beat my alarm and woke up at 3.45. I was too excited and beat the alarm once again. Same like the match against Arsenal.
Messi's one was quite serious.
At the end of the 1st half he was chasing the ball and the keeper beat him to it. While the keeper was sliding to retrieve the ball, his knee hit the Messiah's right knee. It was basically the last action of the 1st half.
He was on the ground for nearly 5 mins.
Busi and Iniesta came to check cause it was quite serious.
They looked pretty worried so I thought it was going to be serious.
They left initially.
Mascherano also came down to comfort him as usual.
At first a stretcher was called but Messi preferred to walk, what a gangster!
Since then, he was just a pale shadow of himself. He was scared to over commit in the challenges. I didn't understand why Pep didn't take him out.
What's the point of playing Messi who could barely run? Be a man and take the man out and save our season!!!
Put Affellay in!!
The match.
We were at our usual best in the 1st half but created far too little chances. Messi had a superb header hitting the bar after playing a short pass to Xavi and then he made a long run into the box and jumped and hit it over the GK but it hit the bar. We were all over Seville but their defence was just too good. Everything went perfect. It was always the last hurdle, the last pass that was blocked.
In the 2nd half we were quite lucky to escape with a draw. Some woeful defending.
Iniesta hit the bar too later in the match.
And Bojan finally did well. He had a legit penalty turned down too.
But whatever, they're supposed to win the match without any help.
As you can see up there( my post) , we had a legit goal turned down.
Oh, Alves' ankle got hurt when he was making a solo run in the 1st half.
He was magnificent too in the 1st half but was quiet in teh 2nd, due to his minor injury.
Abidal made a heroic move that prevented Seville from a good goal scoring chance.
Ill look for the download links later guys when Im at home.
And Abidal's superhuman ability..
