Umtiti, your days are getting numbered.

We are hearing these wailing and lamentation all the way from Catalunya.

Scummies.

Sweet counter finished by Messi

Was that a PANENKA freekick by Messi?

airmark:
Though you are yet to defend that stupid statement that Hazard singlehandedly made Chelsea to concede 3 goals against atm, i hope you know that Van Dijk played ucl last season and made the team of the season. You always type rubbish.

My guy, shut up. How many UCL seasons has Van Dijk played before you start comparing him with his god(Pique)? Show us his team or individual titles and let's compare with Pique.

Every sensible person knows that Hazard's Ikebe dance led to the downfall of Chelsea in UCL semi final @ Stamford Bridge, and it did not happen once in that match.

IKON360:
lol, abeg leave me.
No footballer is on Ronaldo and Messi's level, even Ballon D Or winner, Ligue 1 best player, EPL best player, Serie A best player etc, none are on Messi and Ronaldo's level.
.
For their Neymar, Hazard, Dybala, Sterling, Pogba, Reus, Hazard is among the best. That's why I want him to leave Chelsea

That's fine then.

IKON360:
Pique, I look at you and I laugh, Pique has been handling deadlier and faster forwards than Rashford, and in Europe only one defender has been better than Pique, Van Dijk.

Them don use EPL hype buy you sha... Pique has seen the wrath of CR7, Prime Lewandowski, Prime Robben, Prime Bale, et al.

Van Dijk hasn't been tested by elite forwards like Messi and Ronaldo, yet he's better than Pique? Wetin you dey yarn?

Pique has been our pillar for the past 10 years and has tutored the likes of Yaya Toure, Mascherano, Abidal in UCL finals, but Van Dijk that is still in his 1st season in Europe is better?

Nawa ooh.

IKON360:
the biggest tournament in football is not UCL, its the World Cup and will always be the world cup for a long time. UCL performances dont automatically mean a player is better than another player. UCL performer this year may disappear by next year, so many players have starred in UCL, yet have not won it, it doesn't mean such a player is bad. Godin, Oblak, Pjanic, Dybala, Mandzukic, Pirlo, Ibrahimovic, Neymar(excluding that one season), Salah and co, and tons of others. Winning UCL doesn't guarantee that a player is top notch or not. Hazard is a top top player, a guaranteed starter in any team, a proven match winner, a player that other players can look up to, and extremely talented, having paltry number of UCL goals doesn't mean he is bad.

From the bold, are you really saying Hazard is on the same level bracket with Messi and Ronaldo, but just in a poor club?

Or are you saying Hazard is the next guy after Messi and Ronaldo?

Or what exactly?

Stay on one lane make I arrange the thunder.

IKON360:
don't insult Hazard, no winger in Barcelona is better than him. Besides the blame can also go to his team, his team are extremely poor.

I'm not insulting Hidden. I'm only putting him in his place, and not side by side with Messi and Ronaldo. A talisman must display where the ovation is loudest. I'm yet to see any Hazard's game changing impact in any knockout match for Chelsea in UCL.

Before Hazard came, Chelsea were seasoned semi-finalists. When Hazard came, he singlehandedly cost Chelsea a semi final match against Atletico.

Since Hazard became Chelsea's main man, Chelsea has lost steam in Europe. Same cannot be said of Messi, who has made Barcelona great for the past 11 years in a row.

airmark:
But when raumdeuter types his rubbish asking for Hazard's Ucl trophy, you and your fellow 'up barca' fans, won't come out to talk sense into his skull, that soccer is a team sport. Continue.

We are talking about Messi and Ronaldo and their UCL exploits. You dey talk about Hidden Ikebe Super who isn't an impact player.

We are talking about players who have scored over 100 UCL goals, you dey bring Hidden Lizard who has less goals than Michael Essien(DM) in UCL.

Tell us one great knock out match Hidden Ikebe has won for Chelsea in UCL since you sign him.

Leyqute:
Thanks a lot man. I appreciate.

Come to think of it, you could pin Barca’s success in the last decade (and dominance over Madrid on the local scene) on Messi’s brilliance. I was just wondering if Barcelona would’ve won anything post-Ronaldinho if Messi didn’t join up.

Every Barcelona dominance has a talisman.

Guardiola's era lasted 1992-94.

Rivaldo's era lasted 1999-2001

Ronaldonho's era lasted 2004-06

Messi's era is from 2008-date... That's 11 years running.

If Messi didn't rise, another talisman would, and there would be @ least a UCL win since 2006 when Ronaldinho waned.

But Messi's era is well over a decade, and that's why many call him the GOAT.

Leyqute:
Hey guys, I’d like your honest opinion on an issue.

Lionel Messi is one of the world’s most talented players. It’s obvious that he played a huge part in Barca’s 3 UCL victories in the last decade.

Here’s my question: would Barcelona have won those trophies without his contribution? And if Messi were playing for another team, say Bayern (him replacing Robben or something like that), would they instead be the winner of more UCL trophies than the 1 they have?

Thanks.

Messi is a great goal scorer and chief orchestrator of goals. If Messi doesn't score, other strikers must compliment his effort to deliver UCL.

Our past UCL wins centre on Messi + strikers' output. Take for example,

2009: Messi, Eto'o, Henry = 100 goals (Messi highest with 38)

2011: Messi, Villa, Pedro = 97 goals (Messi highest with 53)

2015: Messi, Suarez, Neymar =121 goals (Messi highest with 57)

But we've seen some years where Messi scored as high as 91 goals, yet, we failed to win UCL all because others strikers were poor in output. That's why I'll never spare our top striker Suarez for failing to score a single goal in 2 years of UCL.

That's why Argentina will not win a trophy because strikers like Aguero, Higuain deliver poor output every year, and leave the work load on Messi alone.

Take Messi to Bayern and YES, he'll boost their chances of winning UCL every year. If others strikers can finish Messi's creative work, UCL is 100% guaranteed.

Messi is the reason Barcelona is playing Man United in Q/F this season. Messi is the reason man united fans are not boasting of beating Barcelona despite the flaws in our play.

femiti:
errr....your source sir?

There are rumors. And we all know Dembele's attitude can justify it.

jonsnow92:
I'm just in awe watching Messi.
Oh I love this Man.
He calls it luck, he calls his Hatrick luck.. Such humility.

He's the Standard.

You self saw the interview. Great humility.

naija01:
I see man utd fans are happy...


Dembele out, Suarez out, Mes...........

Forget the fake news about Dembele. He's not injured. He just wanna skip the France games.

That should have been a 4th goal for Messi.

So unlucky.

Hey scummies,

While you are mourning your loss against Wolves, kindly go to YouTube and watch Messi's hattrick tonight most especially the 3rd goal.

Make sure it's 1080p or UHD quality.

Guys guys guys...

If you didn't see Messi's 3rd goal, buy data and watch from YouTube. Make sure it's 1080p quality.

Betis fans are applauding

Messi don kill me tonight....


Hattrick

Finally... Suarez


See goal

Flash of Suarez of old


Up Nepa

Suarez, go and wash your head. I'm sure you're cursed

Suarez, shey bomb dey your head?

RuuDie:
Abegiii. Take a moment, just one second to appreciate the genius of Suarez.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Suarez fumbles, I criticise. He does well, I hail. Read my next comment before judging.

Messi again...

1 2 with Suarez

Screw you Suarez

Another one on one missed

OMO see freekick

Messi

GloryIsaac:
All these complaints again Wolves, when we have Barca ahead

Abi ooh...

IKON360:
well I think there has always been a reliance on Ronaldo to score but maybe not to create. Passing to Messi to score or create, passing to Ronaldo to score, what's the difference? These guys are the greatest goalscorers in the past 11 years, and they always yield trophies, so a reliance on them is excusable. Is it not?

#PASSTOMESSI is more of creativity than scoring, hence, there's nothing like passtoRonaldo because he's not that creative.

I'm sure you've heard of Tapnaldo or Penaldo.

Eruditor:
Yea, Swansea deserved to win. After all, City only had 22 shots at goal. 9 on target. 69% of the ball. 13 corners to Swansea's one. Miraculous save after miraculous save for the keeper. Missed sitters and scoffed headers. Last ditch blocks from the centre backs of Swansea. Apart from these, Swansea fully deserved to win.

Don't mind them haters

IKON360:
On this thread, fans complain of passtoMessi, but nobody in the world complains about passtoRonaldo, Argentina's coach will give anything for an established passtoMessi rhythm. PasstoRonaldo has yielded 5 UCLs, passtoMessi has yielded 3... Let passtoMessi continue. Thanks

Nobody said #PasstoMessi is bad. What I said is...
#PASSTOMESSI + strikers' output = UCL titles

#PasstoMessi guarantees La Liga anyday.

#PasstoMessi means letting Messi create and score chances

However, there's nothing like PasstoRonaldo.#PasstoMessi means letting Messi create and score chances. Something I can hardly say of Ronaldo.Ronaldo is a player who is deadly when crosses are involved or space to shoot is available.

Kingsley10000:
As a staunch barca fan

I see juventus winning this champions league


my predictions never failed me,I'm very sad because I see it happening

You predicted that Barcelona would crash out @ the group stage, and your prediction failed you.

Please keep your pessimism to yourself and stop posting trash.

PORNeliusHUBson:
By scoring four goals at camp nou which is also 100% possible.

Just allow my team to score 2 unreplied goals @ old Trafford lasa, then you'll know why Camp Nou is the most formidable ground in the whole of Europe.
