Forlan. Volley smacks the post, so close.

The issue is, can your strongest team produce a high level of performance in both games after a no doubt tiring game today? I'd be shocked if they can, hence changes will be necessary.

Had to beat off tough opposition as well.

Errrrrzil, 2-0.

Carvalho, 1-0. What was he doing up there?

You don't? England have a friendly against France. That's midweek.

Getafe down to 10, game over.

Xavi trying to copy Tiote with that turn.

Best defender in the world.

4th in the NO league.

Impressive defending. aye here you go Barca.

Trois.

Erm. You don't really say "congratulations to *local enemies*"

I like the last bit. Maybe not this season, I'd begrudgingly accept next season though.

Hahahaha. Good one, almost had me.

Imagine Eto'o alongside Messi and Villa.

Sorry Parky, 4-2 now.

76% possession.

As well as the best football to be displayed. Well perhaps not as I can't comment first-hand on past sides but it's just from a different planet. The control, the exactness of the passing, the pace at which they do it. Ridiculous.

Oh my word.

That's poor from Villa - I assume it was offside? How's he been doing so far VI? I was hearing he hadn't been doing too well, but 4 goals in 8 games suggests he's hardly doing too bad? Shocking finish earlier for the one on one like, very un-Villa.

17th goal already this season, in his 15th game. It's painful how good he is. And he seems a thoroughly pleasant guy as well. What an absolute twat.

What perhaps Messi doesn't get enough credit for (!) is his sheer finishing ability. He's utterly clinical.

Guess who. Barca 1-0. Sumptuous.

I'm laughing at the facepalmworthy nature of that comment.
