He couldn't have held the second one. Evra was asleep to the rebound. Suarez scored, but if Gigi had pushed it wider Rakitic would have scored. So I suppose the ideal would have been to push it round the post, but it bounced just before him, I don't think he could have done that.

That was my point I'm not saying his points were right. But usually he just says "horrible game tonight", without giving any reason why (or saying things which are just so plainly trolling) He did say he couldn't tackle. I disagree entirely. But he did give some reasons for his points. You...

You know what, I've got to give Cron this one. I don't agree with most of what he said (I think he was saying he should have been loaned out 'til now... when surely he improved by playing in the CL and with Barza, Chiello and Gigi?!). BUT he actually backed up his points this time, rather...

Not sure if these are posted elsewhere, but I enjoyed the aftermath reviews by James Horncastle and Football Italia Both basically saying that we may have lost, but we're on the up!

So gutted. Watched the match in a bar in Glasgow, full of glory-hunting Barça fans. Went to the bar on full-time, one of them tripped me up coming back with the drinks, so I spilled them everywhere. Then some guy had to be held back from punching me 'cos I spilled the drinks on his jacket...

If he scores tonight, will even @Cronios have to appreciate him?

Been up since 6.30 this morning... I don't know how I'll manage the next 6+ hours, so nervous already. I guess it's time to start drinking. FORZA JUVE PER SEMPRE!

For what it's worth, both Forza Italian Football and Football Italia gave him Young Player of the Season. I know these things are subjective, but reading those got me 10 minutes closer to the Champions League final...

So he's a liability because he almost gave the ball away? Guy is such a liability that he pulled off "the most risky pass I have seen in a long time"? Apologies if I've misunderstood... Relax, guys. Pirlo has one last great performance in him, I really believe that. He's never gonna be beast...

:lol::lol::lol: That could work! Messi is usually two steps ahead of defenders, but Ogbonna will be so far behind, that he'll get Messi coming around again. Messi: Feints left, stepover, feints right, shoots off to the left Ogbonna: Just catching up with first feint, tackles Messi perfectly...

But if he's not fully fit and has to go off...

I just have this feeling that Pirlo has one last legendary performance in him. I know he hasn't been at his best this season (although not nearly as bad as some on here make out), but realistically this is his last CL final, possibly his last CL game. Seeing the way he was in the Coppa final...

Cricfree.tv will see you right. You'll get Sky, BeIn, Sky Italia etc on there

And in that final he received 8 passes in the attacking third, compared to 14 in the semi-final, 26 in the last 16 and 13, 22 and 18 in the groups. His stats for dribbling and key passes were actually above his average for the tournament in that final, so he wasn't marked out of the game...

After our media day yesterday, today was Barça's turn. Apologies if these are posted elsewhere.

There's a difference between being pussy, and recognising that we're facing one of the greatest players ever to play the game. I think we can win this. All I'm saying is that if we allow Messi to play the way he wants, he will destroy us, as he would any team. 58 goals and 23 assists in 50...

This kid is going to be so damn good. Such raw talent, and seems to have exactly the right attitude.

People underestimating Messi :sergio: The guy is a phenomenon, completely unstoppable. Even Nesta in his prime would struggle against him. We can't stop Messi, if we let him get on the ball he will kill us. There's no point in trying to mark him closely, as he could dribble his way out of a...

I think all our players have spoken about this game today! Don't wanna make a mega-long post, so here are the links: Hope that doesn't count as spam!
