Messi has 52 goals and 23 assists in 50 appearances this season.

Ridiculous.

Will be similar to the game this morning with SAF sitting back and hitting on the counter with Rooney and Hernandez. But i reckon Barca will just be too good and will win it at the end of the day. *hopefully*

i dont think barca will play the high line which allows them to push up the field and sit in the final 3rd and control possesion with hernandez and rooney up front, even then i think we will play 4-5-1.

The most under rated and one of the most important aspects of Barcelona's game is their pressing when they aren't in possession.

My dad reckons the Barcelona players are on some kind of drug because they are able to do it so well for so long. That and that Spain has a history with performance enhancing drugs.

i have no doubt messi will be the greatest player of all time, along with CR7, but he will have trouble with rio/vidic.

The quality of attacking players we have is second to none. It will require a massive effort, some luck and a huge change in tactics but it's not impossible. What's to say Barca won't get a player sent off early in the game?

And we're not Schalke, the players are there. I'm not saying we will win the semi, I'm saying we're not out of it, at least not yet.

Real Madrid have no chance.

Ronaldo, Kaka, Ozil, Higuain. All these class players but they can't beat Barcelona.

Messi is simply too good. Though Pepe's send-off changed the complex of the game and I dont think it was a send-off offence.


I'm a proud Man Utd supporter and I believe it will be Man Utd v Barc but I sadly have to concede Barcelona are the best team in the world and will win the champions league in a tight one.

I think to have any chance we need to play 5 forward. If it were up to me I'd choose a 4-1-3-2 with
Alonso
Di Maria - Kaka - Ozil
Benzema - Ronaldo

It leaves gaps at the back for Messi to thrive but we can't keep this counter attack bs up.

He's got to get himself a world cup win before I put him up there with maradonna and pele. Now shoosh and just wait n see ffs...

Maradonna won the WC with a team of gumbies. Messi has got an execellent national team and hasn't done it yet. Maradonna single-handedly won the Serie A on numerous occasions with an otherwise normal Napoli side. He was a freak. And I doubt Messi will ever eclipse him.


I really rate him as a player, but let's see if he can achieve WC greatness first. Every great player gets themselves a WC win. Marradonna, Pele, Zidane... I wanna see Messi do this b4 I put him up there with the best of all time.

Meanwhile, Barca will simply outclass ManU badly.
