Messi's tight dribbling really is majestic. Never seen anything like it. Finds the room to go past players no matter the circumstance

If he can't pass, Djeko just blindly runs into defenders, he doesn't try to go round them or anything. I've seen him do it 3 times already … he looks for the pass first then just goes straight into the defender
This is the most I've enjoyed watching Barca in years. That front 3 is just unreal. Best in world football for me.
Dortmund in complete control right now.
lol @ Kompany trying to make a meal out of that tackle.
Dortmund are the better team.
To be fair, lumping it to Fellaini might be more effective against Barca than what City are doing right now.
Citeh are having an absolute Falcao out there
Expected Kompany to run half way up the pitch to argue the referee then. Think he limited himself to shouting and arm waving.
Stupid underestimating of Barca.Could be about 5-0 so far. Pellegrini was idiotic to do a 4-4-2, with 2 of the 4 being Silva and NasriWas never, ever going to work.
Oh how I laughed
Clichy
Clichy
That pass from Clichy
What a cross.
What was that.
I wouldn't worry about the prospect of that happening the way we've been playing recently.
his arms were by his side for feck sakePeople actuall considered City favourites against a team that has Neymar, Messi and Suarez...
Dortmund have been good against Juventus. They will win this if they carry on.

I'm pretty confident that we'd be doing better then this. Van Gaal wouldn't be idiotic enough to go 4-4-2 with 2 creative attacking players out wide who do nothing defensively. Look at Netherlands against Spain. We would almost definitely lose but we'd at least play it smartly and not think we can outplay them, which basically nobody can
We cant cope with their pressing and composure on the ball. We need half time badly to regroup.
instead of asking messis shirt Clichy should ask him some pointers for crossing the ball
So, there's a video doing the rounds on the internet claiming bin Laden is still alive. Apparently you can hear him say "The atmosphere at the Etihad has been shit tonight!"
The American government have refuted the claim, saying it could have been recorded at any stage in the last ten years.

Him and Iniesta are incredible on the ball no matter how much space they have, they seem to have turned up today which is good to see
It doesnt work like that, United would probably beat this City side. Barca have been good, but not outstanding, I;d fancy us to beat them over two legs, itld be shit to watch 2-1 and 0-0 or something, but at least we wouldnt be made to look like European mugs after spending a fortune.
About half as good as they were at the Emirates with Pep!
Quite enjoying Lee Dixon's commentary
The Belgian insists he has faced more challenging assignments at the Britannia Stadium than taking on Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez
Vincent Kompany insists Manchester City have no reason to fear Barcelona and believes an away trip to face Stoke City is more intimidating than a clash with the Catalan giants.
Mighty EPL...

Mighty EPL...City have completely lost the plot. No shape, flying forward at every opportunity, and wide open on the counter.
Anyone have a functioning river for me?
Edit: Got. Ty for fast response.

I saw Messi play.
Dortmund's defending
nasty shit from vidal.. ref didn't even see it as a foul...
Yeah & that was a good game to watch, wasn't it?
We're not claiming them invincible - far from it these days, but in general, they always try and attack.
FFS Dortmund get hit on the break. They just can't defend.
PSG have got similarly gifted players technically to be fair, they're an underrated side especially midfield wise.
Good news: City are being made to look a mess.
Bad news: Now everybody will be back to wanking over Barcelona and Messi.

Not sure about that
For me barcelona over the past couple of months rivals their time under pep
Of course they have to maintain that to really be compared
Off the bar!! So unlucky.
