why not??? there is still room for improvement... maybe neymar perhaps?

Barca passing is boring as hell ..glad they goes out..

bookie ?

I think Messi isnt a closer. Choked again when Barca needed him.

Sorry to say but any GK who plays with Barca looks like world class GK... due to less conceded + most clean sheet

Thats why Messi is still nowhere compared to Maradona.
Maradona already owned a world cup like Pele and Messi has not even come close. In fact Maradona's goal against England in Mexico where he dribble past 6 England players plus the goalie is the best goal ever.

Well, you can see that alot Barcelona senior player injuries and some already reach 33 -34 age. But there still perform above the other.

Too much pressure on them also can make them done the wrong decision.

I believe they will come back again next year and regroup again.

More youngster is coming up again.

chelsea won it with strong man football (full of sliding tackle and yellow cards)

u kidding me barca?

take a look

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2321253

u have referees on ur side for long enough, and now u want to have petition to fifa? hahaha seriously, this is plain bullshit

is that really a news btw? i dont think so.

pep please dont leave!

sOS

quite a disappointing result..and again, denied by the tight defence of chelsea to score more, credit to them..
n goodluck to them for their first ucl cup....

regarding the red card, even Barcelona dint win the match,yet seen kinda lots of comment abt favoritism,lol...thy nvr tired for tat...

regarding the recent formation of 3-4-3, seem weaker compare to the prevous 4-3-3 , where easily counter by opponent...and lastly the team did the best, and there's always next season....hope villa cn come bck sooner n pep stay fr another year or two...

cheers to all party....

almost the same situation against inter a few years back. we really struggled against the bus.

and obviously, we missed this guy..



anims villa! anims abidal!

messi played like he played for argentina
what a flop

Like Pep said, Messi has gotten us this far and he is allowed to have off days too you know.
And according to Diego Torres who has a lot of access to the Madrid players;

The full quote from his twitter is this:


Now that I think about it, the possibility is high.
Ever since he slipped at Stamford Bridge, he hardly dribbled and stopped sprinting vs. Madrid and last night vs. Chelsea.

I thought it was just that he is over burned but he didn't participate in training on Sunday.
So it does make sense.

In any case, injured or not, he has done so much in this season alone, the level of consistency that he has shown, is unbelievable.
I've never seen any player being so consistent, yes, many players are consistent but not at Messi's level, especially when he is being a goalscorer and play maker at the same time.

Although Messi didn't score but he contributed to the build up play a lot, last week, Madrid and last night.

Barcelona kalah terus Messi flop ka? lol I don't get it.

Once again, congratzzz to Chelsea reach da final at Munich.

Special contribution for all Catalan fans, we do awesome and very2 well this season but....face the facts, like wheel, sometimes up, sometimes down, millions thank again for all player, staff, and fans bcoz 120% effort and performance this season.

As i said, due the some player injury, especially david villa, call back on loan young starlet KIERISSON (K9) from Santos now. Pep shoud give him chance to prove their skill and lethal finishing alongside with messi and alexis, no need buy new striker, improve our youth defender, fontas, bantra.

standard la. and the quote above might be true. he might be injured.

and again, we should revert back to our classic 4-3-3 which won us alot of titles IMO.

btw, what do guys think with our summer transfer? tbh i want jordi alba and a CB.

jordi alba maybe, but a CB, i don't think so, give chance to fontas, bartra, montoya and other youth player, we still even got masch and busi

who ever watch wing back, from marseille AZPILIQUETA, play spain U23??
