Johnpaul88: Muniz Fernandez did not officiate our copa loss to Madrid in 2010, Undiano Mellanco did! We have not won any El classico he officiated ever since.
And he's officiated 3!

Muniz Fernandez helped Barca beat Sevilla? We're only grateful that he spotted the infringement on Alves by Juan Cala when the latter leapt up to nod home the corner. The ref did the right thing at that point but did he do that through out the match? He left M'bia to still be in the pitch when he should have been sent him off in the first half for deliberately pushing Neymar to the dash board when the latter was bearing down on goal, not minding that M'bia was already on a booking at that time. Tell me, if Sevilla was dully reduced to 10 men , how would they have imagined a comeback in Nou Camp? We only owe our victory that day not to Referee Muniz Ceasar Fernandez but to Lionel Messi, who broke away, sauntered his way on goal, and set up the winner with the final touch of the game!
We didn't need his filthy penalty to win unlike Madrid. I know they will quickly recall this game when they want to defend their shame. Marca already did!

my brother it is quite appalling. marca especially has been focussing on the barca sevilla game instead of the charade of a match in etche which has stirred up all this issues. it is clear from the video that the sevilla attacker both touched alvez from behind and also impeded his jump. the ref was right but it was a 50 -50 call for anybody who sees it even on replay. for the alexis goal, sevilla equallised in the 90th minute after the 4th official had indicated 3 extra minutes so they wasted some seconds to celebrate their goal. and then i ask, was any sensible human being expecting the ref to then stop the game 3 minutes on the dot. messi then launched another attack and alexis scored on 3 mins 45 secs thereabout. for God's sake why is marca and co trying to use this game to justify the scandal at etche?

lohvang4: Why are some people commenting like kids. How many members form a quorum to impeach? It is 1/3 of the number of members. 18members are even more than a quorum. Enough of media noise-making. Those members stands impeached.

they need 2/3 to impeach, not 1/3 sir.

They needed at least 23 guys to impeach the speaker. it happened at the ngf elections, it happened at the rivers state assembly. Hmn. We all learnt general math in school, we learnt further math, soon there would be political math in the curriculum.

Pedro gets his hattrick. Nice assist from neymar.

I nice move by neymar on the left sees him strike the ball against the far post.

Johnpaul88: Rayo have dominated us so far in this match and we're shockingly playing in counter. If this is the change we are looking for, then i am speechless!

Good that Valdes fantastic form have continued with another penalty save and other top saves to deny them

I don't know but somehow our energy level is quite low.

Yet another beautiful head on assist from messi to pedro who shoots over the bar with just the keeper to beat.

Another beautiful run from messi, beats 2 defenders and lays it perfectly for pedro who tucks it home.

Beautiful run from messi, beats 3 defenders and lays it perfectly for neymar, who shoots wide from about 8 yards. So much for 'neymar always looking for messi'

Johnpaul88: haha!
Do you ever mind Dayo? Even if they did chant Bayern (which i clearly did'nt hear), Dayokanu should know that Bayern will never come close to redefining football as Barca did.

Not minding that we are not as good as we use to be, any team these days that manages to play some good attacking football, is instantly likened to Barca. And people are happy for them!

Now this is a stuff of Legends and that's what will live long in the memory of People, fans or no fans alike!

And this is all that matters! Not what a couple of disenchanted rival fans decides to with what is left of their balboozed voices after witnessing such a humiliating defeat!

very well said. Btw whatever happened to that ajax defender who said b4 the game that he was goina kill messi?

Amefrica: Because you don talk sense, I don forgive all ur grammatical blunders.. Go and sin no more!! Btw why did Basel disgraced you guys like that .. iRep ManU shaa.. Messi is complete, Rooney is more complete and C. Ronaldo is the MOST COMPLETE of them all

Peace!!!!

ok don't worry. Ronaldo will win most complete player ballon dor 2013.

krafty iyk: brother u obviously watched ZINEDINE ZIDANE on your neighbors blackn white telly.....most probably from the window, through a shifted curtain, if not u, wont start comparing messi and zidane, if your Messi is so Mighty, why has he not scored in WORLDCUP MATCH? n who talked about age?...

lol. You really cracked me up right there. Messi need not score to perform for argentina. He was far better than higuain who scored all the goals in sa 2010. 6 or 7 out of argentina's 10 goals came from meassi. And btw he has scored a world cup goal. He scored a cracker versus serbia in germany 06.

And btw, what would it profit a footballer to be the most complete in the world if he cannot use his 'most completeness' to be the best footballer? Vanity upon vanity! This could be likened to the parable of the complete warrior. He is so complete he goes to battle with a gun, a knife, a club, a sling, poison, bow and arrow but is seriously beaten and defeated by another warrior with just a machete'.

These people wouldn't quit being ridiculous. Since when did we start looking for the most complete footballer in this football world of ours? They have tried in vain to tell us ronaldo is the best footballer in the world, better than messi. And when they failed woefully because messi keeps setting standards ronaldo can't match, for the first time in history we are hearing of this 'most complete' bvllsh1t! Don't worry people the world football body fifa will introduce most complete footballer ballon dor next year.

dmcdad: You are right... and one thing he needs to do is come outta the wing sometimes. If you have noticed him well, you will discover that he sometimes restricts himself to the left wing even when there is need for him to come out and be near the goal area.

Well, all in all, he has been spectacular so far. Definitely with time the goals will surely come.

he looks far more dangerous than villa was on that left. I assure you he will return 20 goals this season in all competitions. I am sure about that.

philfearon: Neymar is doing Pretty Well,and going as planned....
We all remember that the Coach said that the first Phase of Neymar in D team, is to Ease him into the Team Seamlessly...This is what is currently happening...The Second Phase is coming soon...
For the moment,am rating him 9/10....Remember,Messi Played Under Ronaldinho for almost 3yrs!

yes that's quite right. Neymar hasn't scored a lot not because he looks for messi but because he hasn't been too clinicAl, he has had chances. But he's been d0pe on that left wing. One goal in about 3 games is ok. At this rate let's expect About 18-20 goals from him in all competitions. That would be a good return for a winger.

1. Neymar doesn't always try to pass to messi. He tries a couple of shots himself. Even last night he had a good chance from iniesta's pull out but he chested it and hit over the bar, messi also gave him at least one tru pass. Also there was this chance before messi's 3rd goal, messi was on his hattrick and was in the best position to score but neymar went for the goal but the keeper caught the ball. So neymar had at least 3 shots on goal from close range. 2. Anybody who knows messi knows that his sense of positioning makes it inevitable for you not to pass him the ball because he would always be in the best positin to score than anyone else. No footballer in the world positions better than messi inside the box so you must pass him the ball. 3. I don't think neymar passes him the ball because he is messi, neymar has to pass him the ball because he (neymar) plays the wing position while messi plays the centre forward. So neymar must look for messi. He must. Because messi is the team's point man. Except of course tata instructs neymar and messi switch positions. Neymar's goals will come but let's not expect too many because; Since messi always positions better than anyone else, he will look for messi not deliberately But inevitably.

nickz: Quit whinning and accept the FACT .Messi is the BEST player on earth,Ronaldo is the MOST COMPLETE player on earth.who told you ronaldo doesn't run around the field.You are blinded by sentiments.Legends and pro.sport aînalysts accept that ronaldo is more complete.give me half a reason why messi is more complete.you don't know an iota about football;If you have by any chance watched a 'documentary' ronaldo did with either gastrol/castrol(forgotten) titled 'RONALDO TESTED TO THE LIMIT' you won't want to bring up the most complete player argument IN YOUR LIFE.

that's where u folks always b1tch yourselves. Whatever is the meaning of the phrase 'most complete'? Where did that come from? We are not interested in most complete player, all we want is best player. Yes let me agree that messi is incomplete. Even in his incompleteness he is better than ronaldo who is the completest! This even fvcks ronaldo up the more. But not to worry blatter says from 2014 there will be a new most complete player ballon dor award and your ronaldo would then get his much elusive award.

denony: MERITED OR UNMERITED
UR BEST PLAYER CAME TO SOUTH AFRICA WITHOUT SCORING A WEAK GOAL AND STIL GOT HIS HANDS ON BALLON D'OR
WON ONLY SPANISH CUP AND STILL GOT AWAY WITH THE SAME AWARD
SHAME ON FIFA/UEFA AND U BLIND FOLDED SUPPORTERS

that season in 2010 messi was the champions league top scorer, he was la liga top scorer, he was europe top scorer, he won la liga, he was one of the best players in the world cup.

denony: NOW LET'S SEE WHO SMOKED EXPIRED JAMAICAN WEED, FREEKICK IS CALLED SET PIECE? DID U GET THAT? AGBAYA
USE UR BRAIN

his first goal against ac milan last season was what? The goal against getafe when he beat 5 players from his own half was what?

kittykollinxx: messi can win 4 balloon dior back to back ronaldo can't

don't mind him. Messi can score 4 goals in the champions league, ronaldo can't, messi can score 5 goals in the champions league ronaldo can't!

sapien: It's official: Victor Valdes is the best goalkeeper in the world!

the guy on his day is a devil.

philfearon: Lol......bro,i joined Nairaland b4 u o..........
Anyway shaa,na wetin too much luv for barca dey cause...

bro keep up with the high spirits. Never fail to let out your emotions and express yourself fully. That's what the thread is for. Lol. The thread isa most exciting when opinions are at variance. Lol.

As for pique he couldn't have gotten so bad overnight. Its obvious he has lost his stamina, he doesn't have enough gas any longer to overlap and return. I wouldn't know if shakira has any hand in that. He just needs to be cautioned to stay back and preserve his energy so he doesn't get beaten so easily. Only a few defenders in europe get further up the pitch than pique. He needs to check his forward runs, that way he will get back to his original self.

Neymar seems to be showing too much respect to messi just like bale seems to want to do ronaldo. He should have put that ball in but opted to return to messi. Well maybe he believes so much in messi, wrt the last couple of seasons when villa sanchez and fabregas used to conspire to throw away millions of chances and messi would just pop up and score from only half a chance. Even in most cases it's messi who would create all the chances amd assists only for sanchez villa fab to throw away. But neymar needs to man up take his chances even though he missed a few as well last nite.

dmcdad: It wasn't an assist anywayz.... Sanchez scored from a rebound

common man, let's be pragmatic. That effort to get the ball across was worth more than a million direct assists. Btw pls don't get me wrong, neymar was awesome in that game.

sweetguy10: You should have rather said this in the 85th minute of play

a full game of football does not last for 85 minutes. It doesn't even last for 90 mins. It lasts for 90 mins plus injury time. Messi's extra extra extrA ordinary effort gave us 3 instead of 1 point. Any of the remaining 9 barcA players would have given up on that ball he crossed for the assist. MOM- messi.

dmcdad: I guess you didn't watch the match... Of all the people giving their views as regards Piqué's performance, you are the only one who is saying something different. That guy is the easiest defender to beat. Jeez! And could you please enlighten me why he fell before the second goal? Dang! My grand mother could defend more than Piqué.

What do you say of a player who doesn't have the necessary speed to keep up with opponents? Will not be to always stay around and not overlap? Yet, your Piqué will never do such but will always overlap even though he is as slow as a snail. Gosh! I can never allow myself to be beclouded by sentiments as a result of the love I have for a player. So, learn from that

FYI I don't hate Piqué or whatever... I am the least biased of Culés. I say things the way they are... If not for the goal and the last minute run Messi had, he wasn't in that game at all... Neymar was the beast of the night making the deadliest of moves.

messi won us all 3 points. That assist for the 3rd goal was better than what anybody did the whole night.

usbcable: why am i not surprised at your thinking sef. now I remember,.... midget troll things

lol. Take it easy pal, you need to loosen up a bit. I personally think it wasn't malicious or premeditated. But it did happen and I think it was just a coincidence. But it's definitely a topic to discuss and make jests and insinuations about. Its a salient headline and you may not be able to just brush it aside like u would want to do. Btw That midget remains the world player of the past 4 years. What other footballer in the world deserves more trolling than him? None comes close. Not even another 120 million pound galactico.

Nobody said it was malicious. But the fact is that he did go hard and late on him. Word is that bale had earler nutmegged ronaldo. The whole squad found it funny and laughed at ronaldo who didn't see the funny side of things.
