Great video.

Not sure when is the repeat, but atletico vs manutd match is definitely worth a watch.... Muniain is rly a gem in tat team

Be careful there, it is Athletic, not Atletico. Don't want to see another guy confused with Torres's old club and Athletic

I've downloaded the game, and have watched it You know, amidst of all praises about Athletic performance, I've read some complain from Man Utd side about the 2nd and 3rd goal. SAF even talked about it. Now that I've watch it, I think there were only 2 glaring errors from the referee, de Marcos offside goal, and Smalling's foul on Llorente inside the pen box in 18th minute. Both should cancel each other out. And I must say Athletic have made a strong case for La Liga. 23 shot attempts at OT! That's quite a number isn't it? Atletico has well beaten Lazio in last round, and deserve their win against Besikas. Valencia also played great against PSV. Personally I expect all of them to progress to QF. 2 Spanish clubs in UCL QF, 3 clubs in EC QF. That would be extremely nice

Added on March 10, 2012, 6:10 pmI swear I've watched Charly Rexach talking about his contract-written-on-a-piece-of-napkin story in several other occasions. I'm sure the old man has shared the story like millions times already, obviously its a story that he can be proud of. 'I'm the one who rescued the best player ever, when he was stuck in his homeland'. Fantastic stuff.

nice rite the documentary. messi is no 1. no doubt bout that

I won't go as far as saying Messi is the best ever. It is impossible to compare players from different eras. What we can compare is the impact a player made during his era. How do we compare a player's impact? By interviewing people who actively involved in the game, like the video showed. That's a much better way to evaluate compared to stats. Stats can always be misleading. Football is a sport that is need to be watched, to fully appreciate it. So now, we have many legends of the game who are already dare to compare him with Maradona/Pele (not to mention there are some who said Messi is even better), I think Messi's impact is already on par with theirs during their eras. I think that's actually enough, we don't need a 'number 1 in history'.

Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
Must resist urge to wear tin foil hat...

M. ‏ @moBbad
@sidlowe it's not a conspiracy (I agree w/ you) but you could at least acknowledge Real's incredible luck in extending their lead to 10.

M. ‏ @moBbad
@sidlowe since Jan. 1 it seems every other week the ref makes a huge decision that turns the game in Real's favour. can't ignore that.


Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad Yes, theyre certainly rackng up. don't think Ive failed to acknowledge. Ive tried to explain poss reasons. I refuse to see plots.


M. ‏ @moBbad
@sidlowe there's no plot to see, IMO. but the errors are a huge reason the gap is 10 points and not, say, 2-4. and that needs saying.


Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad maybe not quite that big, but yes 5, 6 points difference is certainly plausbile.


M. ‏ @moBbad
@sidlowe well refs just getting Mallorca & tonight right would knock 4-6 points off Real's total. and there's been more errors.

M. ‏ @moBbad
@sidlowe one thing you must say is when Real are handed a lifeline they take it & CRUSH the opponent, so it's easy to forget about the help.


Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad that's the thing: that astonishing ability invites conclusion that they would have got there anyway...


M. ‏ @moBbad
@sidlowe most of the time, esp. in 2011, they probably would have. but they've really struggled at times in 2012.


Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad Since turn of year, away from home? Yeah, largely agree. But game changes from moment to moment and their effectiveness astonishing

Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad Yes, there have. Loads of them. But you'd need to rewatch every moment of every game to calculate accurately. It may even be more(?)

Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad Also, other prob is that that's not neces true: you can never know for sure what wld have happened with diff decisions..

Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad ....unless it happens with literally last kick of game. Too many variables. But, yes, it's been extremly striking this yr


M. ‏ @moBbad
@sidlowe yeah, very true. I wonder if anyone does a "correct" table like rightresult.net used to do for the PL.


Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad Marca and AS both do them but I find the judgements that make them up largely laughable


M. ‏ @moBbad
@sidlowe well Marca and AS (as well as EMD and Sport) are to serious journalism what Lady Gaga is to gangsta rap.


Sid Lowe ‏ @sidlowe
@moBbad that's one way of putting it

Another Busquets' dive yesterday....

Hope he breaks the 60 goal mark this season.

This guy is unplayable.

now u dont need to worry if victor valdez is injured, u got a good second keeper..oh, he is good at passing as well

According to Skysport match commentators, when

Busquets dive/playact:

"Owwhh, he milked it, didn't he? He was under minimal pressure bla bla bla went down easily bla bla bla...."

Drogba dives/playact:

"He used his experience."

Referring to the picture you posted earlier?

Anyway, Gareth Bale recently admitted that he dived to prevent others for lunging into him. Yet, the same thing can be said when we played against RM especially where our players were been aggressively tackle.

But

u know lah.

As a barca fan, i hope they meet Real Madrid in the finals in neutral ground. that way, when Barca win, everyone can shut the F up about Ronaldo vs Messi.

For me, comments from fellow footballers and past legends already enough. No need to argue who is better. Fellow footballers know more because they are the one that play against him. So their points is more valid.

Me too vote for RM vs Barca in UCL Finals
