Messi is something else
Isnt intent usually in the rules? Like carvajal intends to handball to stop a goalscoring opportunity = foul+red even if the ball goes in?
Always felt like the captain of the fouled team should decide if they want the goal or pen and red. Can't really call it an advantage if the fouled team would prefer a pen and man advantage.
Messi destroyed marcelo there with just one touch wow, he kept the ball in and what a pass to the right spot. Also shit keeping.
Barcelona were absolutely immense in that second half.
As much hate as Suarez gets he's been so clutch for the team scoring in just about every crucial match. Pique may have had his best game of the season too.
Valverde deserves more credit than he's getting, this isn't Pep's Barca but for them to be undefeated in Europe both in La Liga and CL since the season began for this long is remarkable.
Scary thing is Barca should only get better when Dembele and Umtit get back. They will also definitely be making some signings in January.
It's been 3 straight wins at the Bernabeu in La Liga for Barca.

Zidane sack watch
Crazy how Chelsea are looking like a poorer relation.
I agree, PSG, City and perhaps China hold the pulling power. What's interesting for Real and Barca is when the likes of Modric, Iniesta, Ronaldo, Messi hang up their boots and call it a day, they have the financial muscle to rebuild but will they hit the heights of before? La Masia isn't what it was, and Real are getting priced out from galatico signings by other clubs.
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Have that Ronaldo and Madrid, copying Messi celebration during the last clasico winning a nothing cup. Messi throwing down. Marcelo best back in the world gets humiliated as the icing on the cake.
Just hope we stay as far as possible from the massacre Madrid will do the next summer, especially Bale.
Funny thing is Real completely dicked them in the supercup. What a change.
So who had December 23rd 2017 in the 'Zidane Sacked' sweepstake?
There can only be one
He didn't get any advantage. Penalty plus red plus missed next 3 games.
And by your definition every every foul is then cheating. Most fouls are made deliberately you know?
To whom?
Knowing Madrid, probably to a dumpster truck, dead.
Hanky waving time.
Always been. Incredible.
3-0 defeat at home against your bitter enemy. You couldn’t make it up.
I guess the ref made up his mind as soon as he saw it
Had a feeling Barca would be a better side this season, despite Neymar.
Roberto should be playing central. Much better than rakitic.
Messi's speed of thought is on a different level. Different level to everyone else. How anyone can watch Ronaldo and say he is on Messi's level is beyond me tbh.

The beauty of football. Things change so quickly
Feel for Ronaldo sometimes. Benzema just completely fecks everything up. Carvajal was completely stupid for their first goal. Kovacic should have been aware to stop marking Messi and foul Rakitic on that counter.
Good play by Barca, withstood the first half well.

Serie A is the only league left out of the top 5 that doesn't have a champion and it's not even Christmas
That pre-season run in addition to the incredible year they had made the caf completely horny over Real. Some even claimed this might be the best side ever and uttered useless soundbytes about CL and La liga wrapped up. Lolzies.
Yes, every deliberate foul IS cheating, by definition.
He blew the whistle immediately before the ball went in. It's his prerogative to not give advantage but imo that's bad refereeing. I don't like it when refs don't give advantage but stop the game instead.
How is it not advantage? Barcelona scored a goal which they were trying to do. They weren't trying to send a player off.
Players have no business making referee calls.
Deliberately using your hands to block an open goal is much worse than a foul or tackle in the box.
So if they get punished, it’s not cheating? Makes sense...
I was calling you out because you used the incident as some sort of weird (pointless imo) point about Suarez from the WC. As if you’ve been waitig 3 years to defend him. Very strange to bring up, and laughable you call others a snowflake.
The implications of the match were vastly different, which I already explained. I’m not arguing about what the ref has called. The original post made some weird point about people hating Carvajal in the same way people hated Suarez in the WC or something like that so I pointed out why there was a difference.
As he should? The follow up is a completely different goal scoring opportunity cause by a deliberate handball on the line.
It would be like judging a foul on wether a player is injured or not.
But Ronaldo scores all these easy goals and stat pads he must be better???????
I could honestly watch Messi all day and not get bored, he plays the game like nobody else
They weren't even that good, we capitulated in the second half for no reason
Ah well, i hated christmass anyways
0-3 Vidal
Gotta love the logic. It’s like saying “yeah killing someone isn’t a crime because the killer got caught and punished”.
Ronaldo wasn't great either. That air shot was funny
Messi is such an amazing player. Not sure how anyone can even argue he's not the best in the world. He's on another level to everyone else.
Yeah but the few times he set his teammates up, they completely fluffed their lines.
Carvajal was criminal for Barca's first too, no positional awareness what so ever.
He did and he's allowed to. Just because I'm arguing a point here doesn't mean that I think it was a super bad decision. I mean it was a bad decision because it impacted the game negatively when it didn't have to happen at all but advantage is a line each ref does differently. A perfect ref gives advantage every time. Bad refs blow the whistle straight away.
Everytime I watch them play(which isnt often since I dont care for La liga) Im baffled at the fact so many people argue Ronaldo is better than Messi. Better at what? Definitely not at football.
Blows my mind honeslty, stats, prizes and what not aside, Messi is better at everything bar being over 6 ft tall.
