O pari

RTSC:
Liverpool need to score as much away goals as possible at Nou camp because Messi will win the game for Barcelona at home.

Then Liverpool can come back home to anfield and put Barcelona to the sword.

If Liverpool don't score enough away goals, then Messi will break their heart at anfield.

He is the talisman. Unstoppable.

I totally agree. Player to player, Liverpool is definitely stronger than Barca. However, Barca's strength is not in the individual players but teamwork plus king Leo Messi. Messi can create something out of nothing …. he can singlehandedly win a match.

Having said that, my money is still on Barca to advance. If we learned anything from ManCity v Spurs and Juve v Ajax, it's that individual talents alone does not win football matches.

LOL. I made my recommendations directly to Andoni Zubizarreta. I don't have access to JM Bartomeu, but I am sure that Zubi knew what to do with my list, but Bartomeu is the problem. I can't wait to see leave that position. Barca hasn't made any progress since Sandro Rosell resigned.

Wow. That's not good news for Barca. I mean, even though Umtiti has been out of form this season, I still trust him over that Clement Lenglet guy. Barca is still very susceptible at the defensive end, but I will blame the Barca board for the whole mess. They kept wasting money on strikers and AMs (Dembele, Coutinho, etc) that they don't need instead of strengthening the team with solid defenders and DMs.

As far back as 3 or 4 seasons ago when Ngolo Kante was still at Leicester city was when I recommended him to Barca, same with Virgil Van Dijk then at Southampton, but they let both players go. Meanwhile, I have recently recommended these players for this coming transfer season.
Any 2 of these 3 defenders:
Toby Alderweirld
Jan Vertonghen
Matthijs de Ligt

Plus Veratti and Kante to strengthen the DM. Sergio Busquets ain't getting any younger.

Yea, Liverpool was one team I had wanted to avoid until maybe the finals. But I think Barca would be ready for them. Barca has literally won the league, so they can now rotate more players and keep players fresh. And Samuel Umtiti is coming back from injury to help strengthen the defense line, as well.

KPOM! To waste almost $200m on a 35 year old player is as dumb as it gets. I would be interested to see what they will do with Cristiano once he fails to perform next season and become showing his petulant/diva attitude. After all, Cristiano was a flop in this year's tournament until the second game against Athletic Madrid. And I don't see him having a better season next year either especially if Messi wins Ballon d'Or.

My prediction, Juve would eventually regret breaking the bank to buy Cristiano especially considering the salary he commands.

That's the point I was making. Whereas a player like King Leo Messi makes other players (from defenders to midfielders to strikers) better, Cristiano Ronaldo makes other players poorer because he plays in only one half of the pitch and rarely contributes in other areas. Cristiano is a high maintenance player. If you play in the game then some other player(s) has to play 2 people's position in other to cover for Cristiano.

At Real Madrid, Casemiro does this dirty job for him.

Bros, like I had said several times, take away Cristiano Ronaldo's goals and he's useless to any team. Here's the question everyone ought to ask: since when did Juve become porous in defense?

Playing with Cristiano is like playing with 10 men against 11, because he's useless defensively.


O pari

forgiveness:
Ronaldo was instrumental to them getting this far. He even scored a goal that could have earned them a place in the semi finals if they had simply just park the bus.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Icon79(m): 3:45pm On Apr 17, 2019
Bros, when you consider that Cristiano Ronaldo is earning more than all the other players combined, you'd realize that he ought to have done more than try his best. The bottom line is, Juve bought Cristiano Ronaldo for one reason and one reason only - to win Champions league. Hence, if Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't get them to win the cup then he failed, especially considering that Juve has been quite close to winning it without Cristiano in the last two years: 2017 - Finalist and would've won it last year if not for the English ref's dodgy officiating.
