It appears whenever Barca fails to win a trophy in a season; the following season could be a treble. Exactly as it happened in 2007/2008 season followed by 2008/2009 (season of the treble). And guess one player that was REGULAR in both sides?

This year's bal 'on di'ore is still between messi nd ronaldo.
What do you guys think?

homesteady:
Messi has won it already! his magical 2 goals against bayern has given him the title!

If we win the treble, I see 2 Barcelona players on the podium! Messi and Neymar( If he performs excellently for brazil during their copa America)

Boateng has handed it to Messi already!

ELYMAXiimus:
lol... That guy's life will never remain the same again.

ELYMAXiimus:

...involving Messi? We never even had a barren spell with Ronaldinho.

from another planet." - Turkish international

that Messi still thinks he is." - Javier
Mascherano

have played against Platini, Maradona,
Cruyff and played with George Best — a lot

Krasid:
Messi has won nothing yet.If Madrid and Barca get to the UCL final, then whoever wins will have the upper hand.An el clasico UCL final would have way more publicity than every UCL final that has been played b4.The Bale-clasico had a 400 million global audience.Just imagine the buzz a Messi-CR el clasico would generate.Messi's ballon d'or would only be secure if he wins the el-clasico final or Juve eliminate Madrid or Wednesday.

pelvicky:
If football has a god then messi would be one- stephen keshi

No system can't stop messi- pep guardiola

u can't even keep tabs on him(messi)- boateng

2015 BALLON D'OR winner.
LEO MESSI

Spencer63:
I see madrid crashing out on Wednesday

barackohandso:
Krasid. I can see you've recovered from the Valencia shock and trolling again. Anyway the copa and liga are out of it for madrid and hopefully the UCL will be out by Wednesday


Better luck next season

Krasid:
Congrats on your league win.Barca would have beaten Atleti anyway, so why bother about the league when we can just focus on the UCL like last season.We are going for the bigger one.Remember how CR spoilt your chances of another treble in 2011? He would be doing the same in Berlin.
