Gary Lineker tweeted: 'Messi is indisputably the greatest player ever to don a pair of football boots. Don't even attempt to argue the point.'

Liverpool defender Jose Enrique tweeted: 'If Messi played against City on his own, he would still win the game. [He] is amazing. Best in the world when he wants.'

Adrian 'Jackpot' Lewis: 'Messi could nutmeg a mermaid.'

Mcleo007:
But you agree Ter is way better right?

Don't get me wrong oh, I don't disagree with you, only waiting to see what the future says...

mcdreeezy:
This Ter Stegen guy go wicked oh, he reminds me of Manuel Neuer. When Oscar scored Brazil's only goal in that match btw Brazil and Germany, Neuer was angry. For my mind I was like, "but guy why u dey vex na, ur already winning by seven goals, u still dey vex say brazil score just one" That's the kinda goalie Stegen would be. Perhaps we should reward him with some minutes in la liga for saving that penalty, abi how u see am?

fredoooooo:
he's a joy to watch . Only Zidane and messi can make me have that feeling when I watch football but I don't know how to describe the feeling sha . #respect

dmcdad:
Not to even mention Europa league sef... That one na only Everton remain... R.I.P EPL!

mcdreeezy:
Hehehe....you this guy

But I expected them to at least, score a goal.

barackohandso:
Hmmn…thinking about it now, it might as well be a typographical error

dmcdad:
You too yeye...

barackohandso:
Maybe the person misses him

mcdreeezy:
Lol...we still have to give it to them. At the end of the day, they're still a football club.

eyoniggar:
Congrats people, fantastic game as usual. Messi, what else can we say, nothing more. The whole players were fantastic.

Forca' Barca!

Error 404...

Ogbeni correct your English first cos we no understand wetin you dey yarn.

Wetin you mean by "2nd time running in 3 seasons"?

That Ingrish sound correct for your eye?

funkyjms:
I guess you don't agree to that too??
Why would Bravo be an upgrage of Pinto? Mcleo007 commoonn!!!

ddippset:
messi was very generous with the nutmegs tonight. it was david silva who ran his mouth before the game saying 'messi can do nothing on his own' i only wish he came around for his own share of nutmegs.

mcdreeezy:
Nice performance from the team tonight to secure qualification, tho we were quite wasteful but it doesn't matter.

At some point, it seemed like a training session (no disrespect to man city).

Talking about one of my role models, Lionel Agu Messi, hmmm is all I have to say

Odunharry:
Messi show

Mcleo007:
So much for being the champion of the overtly weak EPL!

Highpoints of the game IMO;
1. Ter Stegen is a better goal keeper to C.Bravo. The latter is more of an upgrade to J. Pinto while the former can be likened to M.Near with his defining attributes of a con contemporary goalie.

2. The defence is now truly dependable, thanks to pique's great form since the start of the season.

3. It is with games like this that you understand why S. Busquets is the best holding midfielder in the world. He's the 'pivote', a pivot central midfielder. Masche dwells so long on the ball, whereas Busquets quick thinking and effective ball distribution is a leading light sorely missed.

4. Iniesta remains the undoubted don. His ball retention ability is unrivaled.

5. I. Rakitic had a subpar performance. Apart from the goal, he wasn't convincing at all.

6. Neymar Jnr's poor form is now a thing of concern. I'm glad he wasn't substituted (that would have killed his confidence ahead of the coming fixtures). The game could have easily ended as 6-0 had he done needful.

7. Suarez is very crucial to this team. He can only get better.

8. Messi?

9. City and other EPL teams should play in the Europa league. They'd fare better competing in the lower cadre of European football competition.

barackohandso:
Great game today. City were lucky (thanks to Hart) to have conceded just 1. I'm so happy with our GK department (lol), Ter Stegen exuded great confidence in saving that PK

Well we're in the quarters…bring on anybody

I think it's time for UEFA to increase the slot for French teams and reduce the one for English teams.

Angel Di Maria is determined to be a success at Manchester United and has started lifting weights in a bid to improve his resolve.
The winger has struggled with some of the physical aspects of the English game since his record switch from Real Madrid last summer.
But the 27-year-old has now embarked on a special gym programme which he hopes will increase his strength without losing any of his mobility and speed.
Di Maria, who is nicknamed 'noodle' in Argentina because of his skinny frame, is working in close consultation with United's team of fitness specialists to pump iron twice a week at the club's Carrington training complex.
United implemented similar arrangements for goalkeeper David de Gea and most recently Adnan Januzaj. James Wilson has also been told to hit the gym.

When Man United is not there, or fail to qualify from group stage, the rest EPL teams are not inspired. United has to return to UCL next season.
