Unproductive in numerous UEFA finals is a bigger disgrace than league runs.

Show us Lampard's highlights in any 5 European finals that resulted in goals that gave Chelsea the title. Dude was in Drogba's shadow.

madrid5:
almost none just like iniesta

Don't ever forget this gif. We won UCL with this.

Same year someone said Iniesta went a whole year without assist.

madrid5:
bro I have watched kovacic for years,there is no difference.

Madrid has won 4 UCL in 5 years. Tell us Kovacic's impact.

Ibime:
And if Iniesta did not have fertile forwards he would be Kovacic.

Lampard is Lampard, a killer in his own right even if he plays with Malouda and Joe Cole.

Therein lies the difference between a carryalong and a killer.

So-called killer that will be paddling stats in small league matches and finals when millions are watching other league matches.

But when the whole world focuses on the biggest match, when the ovation is loudest? The so-called carryalong will carry his team, while the "killer" gets killed.

5 European finals, 1 useless goal, zero assist.

madrid5:
See idiotic barca fans devaluating xavi just to praise iniesta ,iniesta is Spanish kovacic

Keep licking Ibime's ass.

So no recognized striker except Suarez shey?

LordEmperoris1:
It is finished

I quit naira land.


without iniesta there won't be any Xavi

words from a wise barkabots

Instead of you to kiss the truth, you are spewing trash. Iniesta made Xavi, not the other way round. Iniesta won the league without Xavi. Iniesta won UCL without Messi and Xavi alongside him.

What major trophy did Xavi win without Iniesta for like 5 years?

obainojazz:
Truth is, Iniesta perfected the act of being carried along, he's the best in the business. Xavi is the fire that cooks the soup, Iniesta will jump in and start forming steam coming out of the pot.

That's not true.

Xavi had been cooking soup for about 5 years before Iniesta with absolutely nothing to show. Iniesta came up to add seasoning.

Xavi should be grateful that Iniesta aided him.

Unlimited22:
How many UCL's has Iniesta won since Xavi left?

I saw Iniesta win league title after Xavi left. Show me the league trophy Xavi won 5 years before Iniesta rescued him. Show me the national trophy he won 6 years before Iniesta became a starter.

Unlimited22:
So without Iniesta there was no Xavi?

Tell me any major trophy that Xavi won for my team before Iniesta came up?

monerozi5590:
Haba bros. We get eyes and we the watch ball oh. Forget statistics abeg. Iniesta is the better player.


Is a shame that Iniesta didn't get to win the Ballon D'or.

The way Ibime don brainwash this thread ehn... The guy has huge cult following.

simonjassy:
Lampard overall is a better player than iniesta is(no offense to barca fans.) but i think the reason why people wont see this is because one played for chelsea(a not so great team) and the other played for barca.personally i feel iniesta has been given more credit than he deserves when compared to lampard.
Sadly,football is a team sport and players who cant boast of tangible deeds can also be winners,morata is a good case here.If I were to pick my favorite barca midfield players, Iniesta Would be 3rd sitting behind xavi and the quiet but highly efficient busquets.

Between 1998 and 2007,Xavi wasn't so efficient and was overshadowed by players like Ronaldinho, Deco, Thiago freaking Motta and even Marc Van Bommel had more impact than Xavi in the single 2005/06 season he spent with us.

Iniesta brought out the beauty of Xavi's play. I can boldly say without Iniesta, there was no Xavi. But without Xavi, there was Iniesta.

2006 and 2015 finals say so.

Ibime:
Nonsense. Lampard equalised in 2008 final, same as Drogba did in 2012.

If anything, ask well who let Chelsea down in 2008 final.

You are even biblically incorrect. The Israelites sang "Saul has killed 1,000, but David killed 10,000" - 1 Samuel 18 vs 7

Just keep shooting yourself there.

Goliath is worth 10,000 soldiers, and that's why Don Iniesta and Drogba slaying in UCL are bigger players than Lampard.

I've seen Iniesta's killer pass lift Barcelona from Jaws of defeat to victory in our most important match without the help of Messi, Xavi and even Ronaldinho.

Lampard will forever be overshadowed by Drogba. His UCL medal has Drogba written all over it. 5 European finals, zero assist.

VargasVee:
Spain scored 7 goals in that competition and David Villa had 5. IMPACT


In 2006 Ronaldinho and Eto'o combined to score 13 of Barcelona's 22 in the competition with your dear iniesta having 0. IMPACT



In 2015 Suarez and Messi Combined to score 14 of Barcelona's 31. IMPACT

Guess how many Iniesta scored? Is he a fraud?

No one cares about the thousands of Philistines that were killed by Saul, but everyone remembers David for killing just One Philistine.

Lampard has more goals than Drogba but everyone rates Drogba ahead of Lampard due to his influence in the most important matches like 2012 UCL final.

While Barcelona will NEVER forget Iniesta's impact in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2015 UCL finals, I'm still waiting for anyone to post any Lampard's assist or impact in 5 European finals he featured in his career.

Ibime:
The Malcom YouTube highlights didn't look too impressive when I viewed them last summer.

Olamyyde:
You think barca will exchange a 50m winger with high potential and add another 55m for an inconsistent winger past his prime?

PietroRick:
This Malcolm must be another Brazilian fraud if Barcelona are already set to ditch him for someone like Willian after spending his entire time there on the bench.
There were talks of him being shipped to China some time ago.

Don't be so eager to ditch Willian for his younger left footed version

We have a Spanish Mourinho as coach who doesn't know how to bring the best out of players. He thrives on big names even if they are not performing. Williams is surely a bigger name than Malcom hence the ridiculous money being put on his head.

Digne, Alcacer and even Mina are examples of players who are doing fine after leaving my club. But Suarez, Alba, Pique and Busquets positions have no plan B even when they serve rubbish at times, because the coach cannot build other players to replace them.

Thunder fire Valverde Ernesto for even thinking of buying Willian.

Thank you Santi Carzola and Samuel Chukwueze

Lavoca:
Where were you during City's bad run

Who bloody cares about City? I was hoping that Liverpool eat the pie tonight and they did.

raumdeuter:
Bayern is in poor form our defence midfield and attack is poor. Robben James, Gnabry are all currently injured, Muller suspended

This is serious. I hope they are all back and set by next month.

FBS:
Nah. The pressure was simply too much for them to handle today. They will definitely bounce back.

The Liverpool hype was simply too much. Tonight's defeat isn't gonna be the last I bet

Raumdeuter, I hope Bayern coaching staff are watching this game. Please knock out Liverpool next month.

I gat a feeling it's gonna be downhill for Liverpool from now on.

Blood Blood everywhere.

Guardiola keeps this league interesting and competitive.

BlueAngel444:
let's pray pulisic turns out to be a Christiano Ronaldo signing for us and not a useman Dembele.

Dembele is really balling for my team this season. He's currently benching Coutinho.

MJBOLT:

he's the worst barça player this season

At a time when we are on form. He's been disappointing. I hope 2019 will be better

Something is definitely wrong with Coutinho. Dude has lost his confidence on the ball lately.

Chelsea's greatest nightmare Legend Don Iniesta on the VIP stand.

Another one on one miss by Suarez. Nawa

Alba is fast becoming the greatest assist provider for Leo Messi.

Leo on the score sheet.

DemBABA Scores

Thank you Sleekdot, Homesteady, Ruudie and Popziano for your input so far.

Ibime dey fall hand sometimes.

Madrid that were getting knocked out @ R16 bought Ronaldo and Kaka, 2 world best... How will they not fare better? That semi final place that Mourinho took them to should be considered a massive failure given the fact that Madrid have won 4 UCL trophies since he was booted out.

Sommyroy10:
I just knew you'd point that out. As I looked at the scoreline, I just calmed down. My brother called him advanced Morata, I just look am. Wasted Messi's assist.

Just imagine a tight score line where we need a goal badly, and Suarez misses that sitter? That's how we'll lose the UCL.

Football is more than playing dummy for Messi
