I'd say Real definitely had the upper hand especially in the 1st half. Guess Kovacic was too focused on Messi?

barackodam:
This kind victory sweet pass orgasm

tesppidd:
Andre fuccking Gomez.

One of Messi's passes to him was so close to goal that it was much easier to put the ball in the net than shoot over the bar.

But Andre Gomez shot it over the bar!

Datapoboi:
Ter Stegen and clean sheets

tesppidd:
Bastard Andre Gomez destroying Messi's assists.

emmyspark007:
Mehn el clasico has lost its taste

We need midfield reinforcements. Our midfield is ageing drastically

We need to search for a xavi esque player.

VivaLaByke:
Ronaldo with an offside goal..

See Ter Stegen's positioning there sef.

Linkfield:

Linkfield:

WITH RONALDO

1. World cup 2010 ronaldo features in all games and portugal gets knocked out in round one.
2. Euro 2012 ronaldo plays against spain and portugal gets knocked out.
3. World cup 2014 ronaldo features in all and gets knocked out in round one.
4. Confederations cup 2017 ronaldo features against chile and portugal gets knocked out.

WITHOUT RONALDO

1. Euro 2016 ronaldo does not feature in the final and portugal win.
2. Confederations cup 2017 ronaldo does not feature in the 3rd place against mexico and portugal win.

Infact ronaldo is the one holding the portugal side back. They lose when he features.

Portugal have never had no bums in their national team. All of these players played with ronaldo when in their primes;
Nani, Quaresma, Bruno Alvez, Pepe, Moutinho, Contreao.

Not the kinds of players to leave portugal struggling with north Korea and ghana in the world cups if you ask me.

Everything we comment on is in relative terms. Ronaldo relative to Messi. And so like you said while Messi was padding up stats in the group stage Ronaldo was padding a single goal against Ghana in one world cup and a sinlge goal against North korea in another.

That's why i mentioned grey areas. smart people always pay attention to details and see millions of grey areas, not so smart people do not care about details and see black and white, yes or no, win or lose. that's not me that's philosophy. Not winning the trophy doesn't amount to failure.

On an individual level playing in a world cup final and winning the golden ball is far far far greater than winning the euros while not playing in the final. On an individual level i say! It's logic, except for mischief makers.

It's not about deafening your eyes and blinding your eyes to the substance or the details.

There was nothing magical about ronaldo in euro 2016.
You guys just need to slow your roll about that.
Even after euro 2016 and a 5th ballon dor I still listened to several sport luminaries including Ray Hudson, Graham Souness and Gary Linekar who all still say it's not a debate, Messi for them all day all night.

It's not a crime to support ronaldo and claim he is the better player but trust me as far as the entire world goes, you are in the minority.

All these talk about Messi losing in 3 finals wouldn't change any of that.

tesppidd:
Setting the facts right.

Portugal got to the semi finals of the 2006 world cup with veterans like figo, rui costa, nuno gomez and deco. That was the golden generation of portugal. Then they retired!

Since then portugal with cristiano ronaldo have flopped in every world cup with second round and first round exits.

Then uefa introduced the best losers' policy at the 2016 euros!

Portugal flopped in the group stages and managed to escape as best losers in a group with iceland, hungary etc.

For the first time ever a team got to the euros final without playing any of the european heavy weights like germany, spain, italy, england, and france.

Portugal eventually played a top nation france in the final and won the tournament without CRISTIANO RONALDO.

That is summary of the national team conquest of cristiano ronaldo; which you want to prove to us is better than playing in the world cup final and winning the golden ball. Better than winning the olympic gold!

There are a million grey areas. Stop flaunting euro 2016 around as if it's better than everything messi has done with his national team. It is not!

Yahoo1:
I'm really disappointed bro. Very lame.

jonsnow92:
lol..you na senior man for here naa..You,Dmcdad,Sebod just dey free us for here.. Una just dey peep

Leyqute:
Lineup seems okay. Mata and Lingard can link attack and defense. Hererra can run around like he's used to and Matic will do his thing. I'm counting on Lukaku to score and I hope Rashford has part ways with his demon.

But what if Mourinho is planning another "defensive masterclass?"

senorova:
Hehe. Awon e-rats will always prove their obtuse reasonings will double standards.

They said pep cannot survive the EPL. Even with the massive trashing he took in his first season, City still finished above Man Utd, and Arsenal , who supposedly have coaches with enough experience to have mastered the tactics of the EPL. Against popular opinions of these Epl e-rats, Pep's Man city had more possession, better passing accuracy than all other teams. The legendary tiki-taka did work in a supposedly kick and run, break a leg, and competitive league. Spitss

Because this gentleman couldn't win in his first season, they called him a fraud.... Considering that there was a certain Arsene Wenger and an ever moaning mourinho who had just good enough players and enough money to win the EPL, the e-rats would rather hate on Pep. For the e-rats, they wanted the world to believe that the EPL was as tough as they believed, and the only man who could take away that pseudo-reputation was none other than the Barcelona-esque Pep. It was collective hatred of Barca's dominance over top EPL teams in European competitions, and a somewhat vendetta against the quintessential Messi .

But alas, My God is still alive . Pep not only bossed their useless league, he did it in massive style. 15 consecutive wins, and destroying the "Bridge" and the fvcking "Trafford" while at it. The hurt was too great! Moaninho who perhaps is the best coach the EPL has ever witnessed bar SIr Alex,lost to Pep a record 9 times across all competitions. Even the legendary Sir Alex shook to his balls when he faced this genius of a man at the crux of Europe's competition.

The same way these e-rats said about Messi, not only has he rubbished their best teams...he has as a matter of fact scored the most against EPL teams than any other non EPL player. My utmost heart desire is that, he breaks his jinx against chelsea come February, and silence the EPL rats once and for all!

Take it or leave it, Pep Guardiola is schooling the EPL as it is. And the more sad thing is that he is just starting! None of the top 6 coaches bar Pep have the technical competence, nor tactical nous to compete against pep Guardiola. They will either copy him, or get sacked


EPL fans, your L starts Now!

He took him a season to understand the EPL true but we saw how he settled quicker in the other leagues winning them in his first season.

Skimpledawg:

Lana1:
Ok. Let me rephrase for you.
Pep is playing better football than everyone else. Mourinho is nowhere close to Pep no thanks to his defensive mentality.

Yes...yes Pep is a genius that was supposed to take EPL by storm till he went and flopped in his first season after outspending everyone in the EPL....

jonsnow92:
Lol..Sugar daddy's bank Acc?..Thank Jah he didn't buy Lukaku for 75M and saved himself from receiving L..Thank Jah he didn't Lindelof..This also saved him another L..Thank Jah he didn't buy Pogboof for 90M..Have you forgotten that Pepito hasn't spent 60M on a player with all he bought?..Have you forgotten so soon that When he bought Walker for 54M you all said Levy was the winner in that deal and Walker's best days were behind him already?..Walker is playing the best football of his life and would easily be the best RB in the league this season..There's a difference between Buying Hard and Buying Smart..I'm sure after Last Sunday's derby you as a United Fan now know the difference between Buying Smart and Buying Hard..If I dey lie ask Your Left strike Back(Lukaku).

nonsoroyalty:
So 2 victories for spurs and Chelsea means we should forget the countless raping laliga has been giving the epl?

jonsnow92:
Alright then..Since you insist we shouldn't talk about Pep and City yet cos I'm ready to take u on on that..About EPL teams beating laliga teams this season.



Let's go down the memory lane and then I'll show you its an exception and not the norm in recent times..



Let's start from 08/09 season..Barca knocked out Chelsea in the Semis and Beat United in the final 2-0..09/10..Barca raped Arsenal 6-3 in the Champions league QF, Atletico knocked out Liverpool in the Semifinal of the Europa league and also beat Fulham in the Final of the Europa league that same season...Now 10/11, Barca beat Arsenal 4-3 in the Round of 16, Madrid trashed This same Tottenham 5-0 in the QF that same year, Barca then went on to beat United 3-1 in the final at Wembley..Of course you haven't forgotten how Fergie developed cold and cartarh suddenly that Night..





Let's go to 11/12..Valencia beat stoke 2-0 in Europa League R32 and knocked stoke out..That same season was when Munian(19yr old at the time) let Atlethic Bilbao to beat United in the Europa league 3-2 and knocked them out..Chelsea knocked Out Barca 3-2 in the Semis that season though..That makes the scores here Laliga 10 v EPL 1...



12/13..UEFA super cup Falcao scored an Hatrick as Atl raped Chelsea 4-1...Also Ororo led Madrid to beat United in the R16..Madrid won 3-2 and knocked out United again..





13/14..Barca beat City 4-1 in R16 and thus knocked City out of the CL..(City were eventual champions of the EPL that same season)..Also Atletico defeated Chelsea 3-1 in the Semi Final and thus knocked Chelsea out of the CL that same season to set up an all Spanish final.





14/15...Barca beat City again 3-1 and knocked city out again in R16 of the CL..




15/16..Barca Gangraped Arsenal again 5-1 in R16 of the CL and knocked them out..Also Madrid beat City 1-0 in the CL Semis that same season and thus knocked them out..Not forgetting that Sevilla also beat Liverpool in the Europa league Final that season..This makes the scores Laliga 19..EPL 1..



So this shows that Tottenham and Chelsea won this year are actually the exceptions and not the norm..So biko is the Epl comparable to the LA liga with these evidences??.. Dont you think you should cover your face in shame?..Dont bring up this argument again and pls take your L in shame.

MadeInChina:
Actually this question was asked on facebook and lots of Barcelona fans chose the second option because they really wanted Messi to break his jinx against Chelsea.

raumdeuter:
You never reach house to prove to me that Hazard had better offensive output with Mourinho than without Mourinho.

Output alone not ballot box awards

nonsoroyalty:
Messi has brought so many sick people to our club sha lol

nonsoroyalty:
Mehn some people just know how to bring curses on themselves though.

DrinkLimca:
The champions league belongs to Barcelona or Manchester city...
PSG and Madrid will be involve in a plane crash...

MadeInChina:
Most of them will prefer the second option.

HPS3:
Which will you choose? 1) Barcelona through to the quarter final but Messi fails to score.
2) Messi scoring in both legs but Barca gets knocked out??

Chelseafan1:
Be like Pep wan win league ds year, Mourinho still dey mumu himself.

At least, these Man utd fans wey dey hail Mou go see say nothing dey for baba again. Baba is living on past glories
