Messi's decision making in the final third hasn't been great, worked in their advantage anyway.

Wow.

Hate watching games in class. Hope Barca takes it.

I'm only a mere few feet away from being in his picture there. Famous.

Saw this on the 101greatgoals twitter: "Jamie Redknapp: "The experience Boateng is getting at AC Milan... he could come back to the Premier League." What a fucking tit. Thank God I've only seen this guy talk once or twice.

Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Puyol, Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi, Fabregas, Cuenca. Subs: Pinto, Sanchez, Thiago, Keita, Pedro, Adriano, Tello. AC Milan: Abbiati, Abate, Nesta, Mexes, Antonini, Nocerino, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Boateng, Robinho, Ibrahimovic. Subs: Amelia, Alexandre Pato, Aquilani, Maxi Lopez, Bonera, Emanuelson, Yepes. Must be surreal for Cuenca, 20-years old and starting for Barca in Champions League quarterfinal against Milan.

I even saw some Barca shirts in my high school around 2007, from kids who hadn't kicked a ball in their lifetime.

Ah yes, because only women feel jealousy.

Soccer shirts are the best thing to wear in Manhattan.

Cisse and Ba switched multiple times throughout the game, too. So it's not like he's just been hauled out wide and will be given no chance to score.

I highly doubt we'll rush him back, if he's ready and recovered he'll play.

Good stuff from that

What a player.

Decent shout. Injuries a worry though... I can't see anyone going in for him after a year out, but he's recovered well from injuries in the past. Just really want him to play in the highest level for the next few seasons leading into the WC.

If we want to be a club fighting for Europe every year, we're going to have to get used to our players playing internationally. If his form keeps up through these never seven games, then I would love to see him go, he would deserve it.

He's so much better in a three man midfield, those three really compliment each other well. I'd like to see him sign a new contract, but I won't be too disappointed if he leaves. Very serviceable backup to have though.

He's a big ball of sex.

Really playing up the number 9 stuff.

They hold the ball extremely well, counter would be perfect here, and obviously we have the players to hurt them.

Great to see how willing he is to get back and defend, at one point after a failed attacking move Cabaye was way up the pitch, and Cisse just waved him off and went to take his position for a bit.

Providing that's what you're into.

The centerbacks were pretty consistent in their man marking, it was almost always Williamson on Carroll and Perch on Suarez. Wasn't sure he was going to be able to handle him, but he was more than capable, Suarez was almost invisible at points. Great performance.
