So much for the rumor that the team is coming to Malaysia

I'm not a barca fan. But why the heck pele rates neymar better than messi? Very stupid of him....Messi has won everything at club level and even won the ballon D'Or 3 times. Neymar may be one of the most talented football player of earth, but oh well he's not even proven himself yet. Not even in a top europe club yet nor will titles yet.

Neymar > Messi? LoL..joke of the year.

pele is well known for talking nonsense.

hahaha...pele is a joke..obviously Pele is jealous of Messi's popularity =) WTH neymar better than messi? pele are u kidding me? Joke Of the Year 2012

i wonder when will Pele realized that he could have never achieved what he did, if he were playing in Europe..? Seems like he hates the fact that Lionel Messi is conquering Europe, while he was playing in a league way less competitive than the Europeans league...!

Pele should plays down the claims saying he is the king and best player to ever play the game knowing he DID NOT even play in Europe.. 1000 goals record is a joke knowing about over 80 percent of them were from a rubbish league... lol All Pele ever achieved were from a non-competitive league...

Lol just realised Pele never played for a top europe club. Just santos. No wonder he rated Neymar better than messi(Just based on his performance for santos)

/SWT

Great to hear Abidal's doing good.

It's because Pele is Brazillian and he'll probably back Neymar, the same Diego Maradona will back Lionel Messi.

But I agree, I think it was just stupid to say 'Messi must be better than Neymar first'. Come on, Pele, Messi scored a hat trick against Real Madrid when he was 19.

He has achieved so much in his 7-8 year career than most players will all their live.

Pele is Messi's troll

i think neymar might be embarrassed with this stupid statement. lol

btw messi goals chart.

is the crest still the same?anyone have any latest plg latest punya crest for barcelona?

I don't think it has changed ...

Anyways ... tonight..

Victor Valdés, Sergio Busquets, Javier Mascherano, Carles Puyol, Adriano, Xavi, Cesc Fábregas, Thiago, Pedro, Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez

Don't try this at home.

a narrow win tonight. 3 pts and chelsea next!

Both penalties were harsh but nothing can be done about it, it's a penalty indeed. Nevertheless, you guys looked a bit blunt up front but Cuenca is getting sharper. Can't say the same for Thiago though. The 'end of the season' pressure is taking its toll on him I guess. 41 goals for Messi. The league and the pichichi title are on fire! Probably will go down as one of the best duel in the world of football.

Levante was very slow but props to Kone for being one of the most confident and technically gifted player for them. He's probably one of the rare forwards that can still hold the ball up front and set his teammate up. Something like Llorente. Kinda funny thinking that Sevilla loan/sell him because they have Negredo and Kanoute. Sigh~

All in all, it's a great win for you guys. Looking forward to beat Barca in El Clasico

I'd say injuries have disrupted our cohesion in attacking a bit this season. Its still a fact that the likes of Cuenca and Tello are a bit of a unplanned moves by Pep after all our injury problems.

Having said that, we are still doing good goal scoring wise because of, well, you know who la

To be fair to Sevilla Kone was absolutely horrible during his 4 years with em. And yeah he has regained his confidence with Levante. Should go back to Sevilla next season since Kanoute is leaving. Levante is gonna get raped in Europe if Kone does leave though.

Oh, and Sporting also gave you guys a tough game until the sending off eh? Similar night we both had

Kinda unfair to the real world weyh, it's like Zeus against the mortals

True that, Kone was despicable at times. He always looked tired and God he's lazy! hahaha. Maybe in Levante he got more playing time which had polished him to become what he is today.

But, since you brought it up, Sevilla was getting bad every year. They were not that bad in the last 4 years. Before Barca hired Pep and Madrid bought Cristiano, Sevilla was one tough dog. They were close to winning the Liga title once and they were even doing well in Europe. They won twice the UEFA Cup if I'm not mistaken. Seriously, when I see a team like Atletico Madrid, Bilbao, Valencia and Sevilla, I really think it's hard how they can't do any better in La Liga. There are probably many logical and technical reasons to why they flunk badly in Liga but if one ever see the line up in each team I mentioned, rationally they were not suppose to be that bad.

Oh no you're not. You're not taking this away from us.
Madrid already made the remontada before the ref sent off their captain (which in my opinion should've been off much more earlier). We were up 2-1 and only scored once after the red card.

Can't say it's similar. If we minus both penalties in your game (since I said both of it were harsh), you guys probably won by that single goal scored by Zeus.

Don't get it wrong. I'm not gonna blame any team because of the referees stupid mistakes. They are suppose to be the one that responsible for all the ridiculous calls they made especially in this season.

good read.....
