That barca team have to be the best footballing side ever.
Have you checked the La liga table lately?

What a treat it was to watch Barca tonight. Leo. Where do you begin. 3rd goal was the best--to knock it into hi path at such speed with his bad foot was difficult enough never mind the chip.

My god

The champions league story of the night, Apoel Nicosia into last eight.

Total population of Cyprus is about a million.
And to think under Stan Staunton we managed to get humiliated by Cyprus. Was in Nicosia around this time last year not alot in it apart from a big wall,stray cats & a Turkish border but fcuk me they will have some session tonight.
The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

In case you haven't noticed, the Captain appears to have a chip on his shoulder over Barca.

Footballing side is definitely not something you could accuse Real Madrid of being.

Effective at winning yes. Disgusting disgusting team illustrative of the type of bile Mourinho favours.

Football is about winning the League table doesn't lie and if it's winning with style Real Madrid also did that in the 50s,60s.

Haven't seen the 50'5 / 60's Real Madrid style on dvd, nor was I around for the live version. Could you please give the link to these 2 decades so I can view more than a second or two

Real Madrid (de stefano & co ) did do it in style as did the famous hungarian team of the fifties (puskas),followed by many brazalian teams but my point is in this period of vast wealth in european soccer this team are the best footballing side to probably ever play the game.
Take into account alot of the current barca side are homegrown.
You menetion real madrid? what have real done to the current barca team in the last three years on the pitch (apart from butchering them).
Your league table argument carries as much weight as louis walshs opinion on jedward

Say Real win the league but Barca win the CL, which is probably an odds on bet - what does that say?

One the best in Spain and the other the best in the Champions league.

After finally getting your point across your Captain can now sleep soundly.

Your OBVIOUSLY a tube.

 :D  :D  Can`t beat a good bit of banter

Unreal performance from Barca tonight and especially Messi. To me, he is the greatest ever. Imo the Champions League is now the elite competition in football having taken over the World Cup so I don`t really buy into this "he hasn`t done anything in the world cup" pish. Time and time again he has ripped quality teams to pieces. 53 goals this season for club and country. He has a rest this summer too for the first time in a few years so he could be even better next season. Hopefully  ;D
Was very impressed by Tello tonight as well. Very Pedro like and will have a big future ahead of him
