Even the great hierro was taken down by del piero, that doesn't stop him from being one of the best CB in the world, and to think you guy talking are not even in the champions league, anyway, it's bad for us, but fact is we didn't play well and looking at the recent performance from Bayern I don't think we could have beaten barca that day, but one thing remain, barca was beaten by Bayern 2 years ago for 7-0 and today we are at the receiving end doesn't mean we are not good, we just unlucky to play them at this time, all I know is that the same players everyone was shouting we stealing from bundesliga clubs like Dortmund were no where to be found so I wonder why u all are angry then.... Anyway Bavarian always, we will come back stronger even if we need to take pep out of the equation... And my fear is that we may never have another Robben Ribery again

Pedro did in the first attempt what Cristiano have been trying all his RM career

Busquet is needed to stabilize the midfield
Batra was sacrificed

Messi's greatness transcends the footballing world: it's being rumoured that people voted for Messi in the UK General Election of yesterday. I voted for Labour Party yesterday, not knowing that 'Messi Party' was on the ballot paper. Na Messi me too for vote for o; I don fvck up be that!

With his self-belief at an all-time low, Bale has
lost all the weapons that made him a major star
in the Premier League.
No longer does he take on his direct opponent
whenever he gets the chance, going for the safer
option of a risk-free pass instead on the majority
of occasions. No longer does he unleash his
trademark long-range strikes whenever he gets
the ball in a dangerous position, fearing a tirade
from Ronaldo in case he fails to hit the target.



just saw this on goal.com

Yep, we are back! Thanks to Philfearon and everyone that helped to bring our thread back.

On Wednesday night, I couldn’t find sleep because I was trying so hard to find the right words with which to describe Lionel Messi; however, I couldn’t find any. I later remembered the words of Guardiola, when he said: “Don't write about him, don't try to describe him. Just watch him.” On realising this, I knew I had been engaged in a futile exercise.

Now, my problem is fixed: I will no longer try to describe Messi; I will only watch him. Some are great players, excellent goal scorers, marvelous ball-headers, powerful shooters and brilliant penalty-takers. As for Messi, we are just watching him; no words, as he’s beyond description. Leo, we are watching you. End of discussion. QED.

Roland17:
Honestly, i want to know how Messi feels tonight after publicly humiliating BOATANK who according


to dayo is the second coming of P. Maldini.

mukina2:
noise

funkyjms:
We only defeated Bayern Munich and it was just 1st leg, I wonder what will happen when we clinch the trophy.

I dey vex not because the thread is yet to be restored rather Seun, mukina2, Ogbeche77 didn't acknowledge the receipt of the complaint.

bigkesh:
ku iro....... A team that didn't get to the euros semis for years before mou........ Mou cant perform under pressure? Pep cant perform without Messi...... As i wonder how he enjoys it there, at ur youth coaching in that stressless situation...... After that he can go to Psg, orlando pirates, celtic, Al alhy, donestk, basel ........ The dude would av considered Enyimba in 2007

Dhelake:
Inter's wage bill for 09/10 season was 150million Euros while Arsenals was around 130m pounds which is 160million In Euros.
Was Arsenal not in Europe that year?? Damn sure Man U, Chelsea, Barca, Madrid wage bills were far higher than Inter,'s wage bill that season


BTW
This discuss is not up for Arsenal fans, So Swerve!

Emaprince:
This dayo is a compulsive lier sha. When pep took over at barca,The best player in the world was C. Ronaldo. Ronaldinho was arealdy a dead wood so, stop calling him the best player which he was in 2005.

There's no way pep can win a spoon with porto or inter milan. I once called him a smart coach, mourinho is also refering to him as a smart person too. I'm sure if he leaves germany, he'll take a coaching job at PSG. England is the place he'll be exposed and his career ruined.

This is NOT germany with bayern!!

raumdeuter:
Tripe

Pep first senior coaching job, He took over a Barcelona that finished 3rd in the league, 18points points behind Madrid, Sold their best player and 18months later won 6 trophies.

So how was he an overdog when his team just finished 18points behind the league leader.

One name change is good enough in your Nairaland career.

Pep is the most sought after football coach. If Pep makes himself available today, Roman would sack Mourinho immediately. A lot of coaches always try to adopt Pep's system, His system won the World cup and Euro cup both without Messi

I am sure somewhere in Mourinhos room, he has a picture of Pep that he worships every morning.

How can you win a league, You cant even mention any of the other 19 coaches its a Pep preparing for the CL semi where he got booted many moons ago. Just like a teen obsesses over the picture of their celebrity crush.

Like my signature here used to say. I'm not looking at you, I'm looking past you

Like Stan(Mourinho) and Eminem(Guardiola), Only that this time we might encourage Pep to pay him some attention before he drives off the bridge with his pregnant wife(Chelsea) in the trunk

Abeggi! Boateng is why we also lost 5-0 last year right? When would you apportion some blame to Guardiola for how badly he has weakened this team?

Playing everyone out of position and ruining a Well-oiled machine

The same Barca was destroyed last time we met. Your Messi was shackled in Rio. The difference is Guardiola!! With his 3 wins in 15 away knockout ties

dmcdad:
Oga calm down. I don send Scantee him card.

A40:
The guy na real disappointment nobody defend am reach me when we appointed him

First Madrid now this. Its pathetic

Mcleo007:
Looking at the game, on the tactical front, Pep won. Hes the boss when it comes to tweaks and tactics. He started the game with a 3-5-2 that drifts to a 3-4-3 as the game progressed, especially when they have the ball. That raised a high line of defence and hard pressing from the midfield players. Would have been a difficult one for us had their key players played. They controlled the game better and would have gotten a decent result from the game. Perhaps, a draw or slight loss.

Lucho deserves some praise tho... He was firm with his philosophy? His is: What use is possession in the middle of the pack when you have a terrific front three. It was a case of struggle more to win back the ball when lost(ball interceptions), feed I. Rakitic whose job is then to look out for god-Messi and co. It is simple, straightforward and lethargic.

On the players:

1. Ter Stegen is the best. He laid no foot wrong on the night. So assuring on the ball.

2. The full backs did great in defending and working down the flanks.

3. G. Pique and J. Mascherano were assuring as always. Thank goodness, the vintage G. Pique is back.

4. l. Rakitic? Total upgrade from Cesc. A worthy wearer of the No 4 jersey.

5. Don Iniesta had a quiet and effective game tho. Funny how it panned out.

6. S. Busquets is the best pivot midfielder in the world. Superb performance!

7. Neymar Jnr was OK. Was marked well but had his moments. Great golazo from him.

8. L. Suarez? The best of him is yet to come. 40 goals is sure next season.

9. god-Messi? Thunder fire me if I say anything about his performance!

dmcdad:
That one own na if Madrid no qualify.

Bimffo:
Hahahaha.. Did I hear you say Next Season.. Come On Dayo.. You can do a Porto


NB: Neymar's PK was not a Dive, He was clipped! There was contact..!

But whats the talk about, He later scored..

A40:
Guardiola IMO threw that game. We focused so much on containing Barca we forgot to create anything offensively. In a game where we needed to be direct as possible we were dancing shoki and galalalala in the box

Thiago was busy doing rubbish flicks and tricks instead of being a bit more direct.

We went a goal down and heads just dropped. That is not a mark of a well coached team!

With everyone fit I doubt we would have played better. Same thing happened last season.

Bernat should not start for Bayern again. He is not Bayern level
