i really hope that real mallorca can do a dortmund on real madrid tonight. that would be fun.

losing one million left full backs is not as bad as losing one left full back, one right full back, and your two central defenders.

Its gonna be montoya, mascherano, adriano, alba, song, xavi, iniesta, fabregas, messi, pedro. Not bad.

After 9 goals at the raizor last night the 10th goal has been scored, for the perfect number ten. Young lionel messi is born. CONGRATULATIONS messi. Congratulations barcelona.

Thankfully the referee, valdez and alba did not succeed in spoiling the beauty of messi's hattrick.

Yahoo1: no mind those slow pokes,they wont talk now o....that goes to show you that most people just hate barca....(succesful ppl wil alwayz hv haterz

fact! Real talk right there bro.

But of course the bl00dy haters won't remember tonight what they always refer to as a soft penalty and a wrong red card. The guy tripped himself over masch for the pk, and for the red card masch clearly won the ball and never raised up his arm, instead the depo striker lowered his face down to masch'shand. So is it uefalona again or what? I wonder what if these decisions had gone in barca's favour.

Wow, I almost thought we were destined to lose the match.

Johnpaul88: Important match yet again for us . Our defensive problem have yet to abate. Pique did not travel and Messi may not start. Villa is expected to lead the line against his favourite victim. We 'll hope Mescharano and Song
will do well for us today at Raizor.

what a bag game to have just after the international break. I guess not one of the depo guys kicked a football in the past week, how fresh they may be.tito must play messi, he shouldn't be dumb like pep sometimes was. Play messi tonight and rest him in the next home fixture against rayo. No gambles! We must maintain 8 till january.

montelik: If by times ago you are referring to his teen to early adult years (17-20), then you have a point. But which player at that age or stage in their development is not inconsistent. Well before CR7 was awarded WPOTY in 2008. He had already been shining at the highest levels club and international. Helped Portugal all the way to final of Euro 2004, key member of Portugal's run to the semi's of the WC in 2006, had numerous MOM worthy performances in FA cup finals, League cup finals, ucl knockout games, top of the table league matches e.t.c all before his WPOTY. Yet his critics persisted with the over exaggerated nonsense, simply because he didn't light up the universe in certain games his critics chose, ignoring numerous other instances of big game performance, forgetting that no player has a flawless record of performance in every single "big game". He won everything he could at United and they relented on the "big game flop" nonsense, but by the first 2 classicos when he didn't look great, they had started the nonsense again, ignoring the history and reality. Now they have been thoroughly shut up, but they will surely find some avenue to start the nonsense again. Messi will experience the same stuff, however silly, harsh or untrue until he can thoroughly shut them up as well.

This is the price of being a truly exceptional player. Both CR7 and Messi will have critics who will exaggerate, even invent weakness or failures and depending on whom individuals favor, people will be sympathetic to the various claims, as unfounded as they might be.

personally I've never been one to call ronaldo a big game flop but I think his 'flop tag' actually started in the epl against the arsenals and the chelseas, also against barcelona in the first few classicos.I think also that flopping doesn't just mean not scoring a goal it also means not guiding your team to victory. I really do not and have never opined that ronaldo is a big game flop.but the notion that messi is nothing is arguably the most ridiculous falacy in the history of the game.for the following reasons; 1.messi is tested and trusted in the art of dribbling defenders in their numbers,4 , 5. He has done it over and over again;epl defenders,spanish,italian,german defenders. 2.season after season his assist records are in multiples of those of xavi and iniesta combined. 3.dani alvez is the one who has assisted most of messi goals.4. Messi has put in sublime performances and hat tricks even when xavi and iniesta weren't playing.5. Messi shone like a million stars at newel's old boys under 13. 6.saying that messi flops for argentina is just as ridiculous as calling ronaldo a big game flop.he is always argentinas best player,higuain,tevez might score 4 but they are never half as good as messi.see his olympic gold and his under 20 gold, he didn't need xavi and iniesta to demolish some overaged nigerian u-23's. Just like they said playing that xavi iniesta card on messi is arguably football's greatest myth.

montelik: No different than the "CR7 goes missing in big games" myth. All stand-out players have critics who exaggerate their real/fake flaws. Messi won't get a special exemption.

very very different I think. Ronaldo actually used to go missing you big games time ago. You might say that has changed for him.messi depends on xavi and iniesta sometimes cus they are team mates and that is natural.xavi and iniesta sometimes depend on messi equally just like ronaldo used to depend on the wizardry of scholes and giggs and now ozil and de maria. Every big player in a big team does depend on other great ones and yes, maybe no more but he used to be a big game flop.

The problem here is of so much sentiments and hypocrisy. No be you wey shout pass or you wey condemn the killing pass for nairaland na I'm pity the boys pass everybody else.some here want to be first to insult anyone who varies from their line of thinking so that people would say , kai this guy is a good guy o sEe as him dey pity the aluu4.some people have even shed tears for the boys without coming to insult hypocritically on nairaland.frankly speaking 95 percent of nigerian communities would do exactly what aluu community did.talking of this lawless nigeria of today.if not for this aluu 4 I was almost thinking jungle justice was ok.what would you do if you came across a lynch mob and are told that the victim was a robber.most people might be like pls take him to the police in their minds but in reality they would just cross their arms and look on.their a some devilish people in aluu alright but there could be worse people in every nigerian community. Having said this if I were the judge that guy with the plank should get at least a life sentence and the chief at least a 30 years sentence, et al, et al.

cikadile: CR7 is not mine o, he played for my team, won FIFA best....unheard of, from England before....
Messi plays zilch when not playing as part of the trinity of Iniesta, Xavi and himself
You know this very well
CR7 playing in Nancy, France or Torino, Italy?
I dare Messi to go play Arsenal or any of the big 4 even, no need to do it in Stoke City...he will just disappear

fifa best from the epl, henry almost did twice only ronaldinho stopped him.ronaldo won it only cus messi was injured for about 5 months.when messi became injury free your ronaldo no smell am again, three times in a row with the biggest possible margin ever.like I said ronaldo without goals is nothing.he was king in the epl now he comes to la liga under the same denominator with meSsi and is still living in messi's shadow.check messi out in europe, ronaldo will prolly die trying to match the records messi has set.since messi needs xavi and iniesta then ronaldo would be nothing without the help of rooney,tevez,scholes and giggs.and today he still be zero without ozil, de maria,alonso,benzema.let him prove us wrong by going to westbrom or getafe since according to you he doesn't need a 'xavi' or an 'iniesta'kill the debate now!ronaldo is only unlucky to be born in messi's generation.never compare a single ballon dor winner to a 3 timer. They no be mates at all.

cikadile: FIFA, and the dilemma it will find itself in, come the time to choose the best player again! They crazily robbed Xavi /Sneidjer, even Iniesta and gave it to Messi last year after the World Cup.....undeservedly I must say.....how long will the joke continue? Messi is the best, you say, but I will have no more doubts if he goes to another cub/league...Brave Falcao, brave Zlatan, brave CR7!!!

That said, CR7 pls one day go to Italy and light up that fine league for us
or to France and help Zlatan do it there
tested, tried and confirmed Cristiano, respect!

The taciturn one should change leagues or clubs, should exchange jerseys with other footballers, should stop being mean to Tello, Adriano,and most recently David Villa....that was exactly the way he ran off Ronaldinho, Etoo, Zlatan, even Pep!
You call him humble, I call him cold and unfriendly
cannot play outside the trinity
CR7 is better, by a mile and half

separate ronaldo from his goals, you have nothing.separate messi from his goals, and you have a master dribbler and a play maker.that's the difference. And pls tell your ronaldo when he decides to go to france to 'prove' himself he should not go to psg he should go to nancy or if he choses italy he should not go to juve or milan he should go to bologna since he is so good he doesn't need superstar team mates.or if he decides to return to england he shouldn't go to man u ,he should go to west brom or wigan to 'prove' himself.

Maybe its a plantain commercial.

What about the williams' sisters and nas? I thought they were nigerians tOo.

Mad Cow: Does his travelling affect the price of bournvita in the market?!! NO!!!

So why is it a big deal?!

These critics need to get off Jonathans diick so he can breathe..

ddippset: 1 messi. 2 maradona 3 ronaldinho 4 zidane 5 ortega

and if you want me number 6, raul gonzalez

1 messi. 2 maradona 3 ronaldinho 4 zidane 5 ortega

Awesome. The greatest footballer the world has seen.

One of the most ridiculous asertions in world football today is that ronaldo is a winger.a winger and how many assists has he? He is a winger on paper but on the field, just watch madrid's matches and see for yourself.ronaldo is always around the 6 yard box, he even displaces benzema for position and at the end of the day people like mourinho will lie telling us he is a winger. Where are his assists as a winger?he stays near the yard 6 box waiting for ozil alonso de maria to pass him the ball.messi is even. More of a midfielder who always drops back to the midfield.and mr morinho telling us about big trophies and small trophies. Messi in his time won the champion's league.where is ronaldo's champions league medal.la liga isn't so big all of a sudden.la liga isn't so much bigger than messis 4 trophies.tito might say messi is the best he should win ballon dor without calling ronaldos name but why does mourinho have to campaign for ronaldo and put messi down in the process? Insecurity I tell you. He knows who the best player in the universe is.finally he says messi is the best and ronaldo is from another planet?commom mourinho you are stealing messis superlatives.

davies123: Throwing abuses is all u do!No intelligence,no facts,no anlyses skills why waste my time with u?*I move on to talk to people whose IQ has pass mark!*

a lot of people are beginning to question your sanity.I could remember a post u put up somewhere about falcao better finisher than messi and co. No one even responded to you. You need to employ an editor for your postings.

davies123: Throwing abuses is all u do!No intelligence,no facts,no anlyses skills why waste my time with u?*I move on to talk to people whose IQ has pass mark!*

this man you are always paranoid. You started the insulting stuff and I will finish it.I do not get personal in debates such as this one.this one here was the second time you called me names, the first I didn't respond to.your posts are always ironic, No apologies.

And so just another stellar as barcelona beat belarus a few moments ago in the world cup 2014 qualifiers. A sublime hattrick from pedro and a single from alba.up barca up spain. Couldn't have come at a better time if you know what I mean. (My tongue in my cheek)

ddippset: lol. Well he might be right. If you saw the flight of that ball the curve on it was like going out but it swerved and went in the back of the net.so it could have taken a deflection of the wind. You never know with these things.

deflection off the wind I mean.

Mcleo007: All the guys in this picture are 6-footers, yet the ball passed over them and found the back of the net. And someone mentioned a deflection somewhere.

Who is diego maradona? The greatest ever? WeLl, some breaking news for rabies 123 and everyone. Like many before him enzo francescoli just called messi greater than maradona and the greatest of all time. Who do so many keep calling him the greatest ever and none for the other fellow at madrid?

I know its hard pill to swallow but much much mych of spains success is about barcelona. Del bosque saw it and exploited it, the barca system, the team, the continuity. Like I said before spain had raul,morientes, guti,enrique, salgado,jaoquin, senna, heirro,helguera,redondo,canizares and tagged the greatest under achievers. Barcelona equals spain plus messi minus alonso. But madrid equals spain plus ronaldo minus xavi minus iniesta minus pique minus puyol minus villa minus... Damn the list is getting too long for this text

usbcable: and that is why he is forever special.
he only had the guts to say what was being murmured all around. he only spoke out what other coaches tabled forward with coated words.

he said: fair and square should be the other of the day and not some oscar winning theatrics from suppossed world class footballers.

usb I get ur point. But in life when you get vocal about everything you risk sounding like an aidiot. That's exactly the case with mourinho.the ref favours him he looks the other way, the ref favours his opponents he complains. This man complains basically about everything from fixture schedules to opponents tactics, to frienship between his squad and others.
He's a moaner most def. At Madrid you have players who don't want to play the football but the opponent's legs in pepe alonso essien ramos and then you also have players who would dive before an opponent' shadow in ronaldo, de maria, marcelo, then you have saint casillas. So it's basically the good the bad and the ugly with real madrid.

davies123: Its like u watch ur matches with ur brain in camp nou and ur head in nigeria.Let Barcelona and you listen to what they rest of us r saying,forget about flying planes we r not talking physics here,we r saying that u guys shuld stop cheating,diving,mobbing refrees,gettin players sent off,match fixing and bribery then u can be considered as d best in d world for now,forget that d 'best in history' thing its rubish,did u hear of d Real Madrid Team in 2002 (maybe that time u where still in primary 2b)called the Galactico?google it,present day barca will never smell that team.In a nutshell win ur games clean,its not dancing azonto and etighi in d field in d name of ball possesion that can make u d best in d world Oº°˚ .Let me rest my case for now if u talk again I will come back and fire u some more!

davies 123, you sure sound like some p1ssed off lil bum who gets suicidal whenever barcelona wins a game or a trophy.u just scolded mcleo007 for refering to 2005 and now u re refering to 2002.must be your lil butt still hurting cus barca aint got any k-y for you asz lately.we beat madrid 5-0 fair and square, we beat man u 2-0,3-1 fair and square, we beat bayern 4-0 fair and square, we beat levercusen 5-0 fair and square, we beat madrid 3-1 fair and sqare, we beat arsenal 4-0 fair and square. Can't u see y we ve been called the best team in history? Or is your brain a midget?

9 and a half times out of 10, when ronaldo is
So suRrounded as your pictures depict he loses the ball, trips over and rolls 20 times staring at the referee but as you know very well messi when he is so surrounded, he dribbles his way through as he does weekend after weekend in la liga.so pls give us the continuation of these photos and we all see him rolling all over the turf.

When you re on top you start to come down naturally.abd when you don't wanna come down haters wanna pull you down.and when you are called the greatest team in history then all the referee's favourable calls are seen by 6 billion home sapiens but when you are down on level ground with everybody else no one sees sh1t.I mean we all can see a plane when it flies but not a car when it goes by.some of our b results est results are unmatched and we got them without red cards and from open play(not from set pieces). Madrid 5-0, bayern 4-0, madrid 3-1,man u 3-1, man u 2-0, arsenal 4-0, levercusen 5-0.who could match these results? Fair and square. And the tripple haters still come up with these conspiracy theories.haters, man u fans, madrid fans,chelsea fans,match these results and match the trophy cabinet,win 6 trophies in a season. Stop hating, respect.
