Do you have to verbally masturbate over every thread?

Had De Gea or Mignolet or any other keeper made such a save over the weekend we would have had a couple of pages worth of praise. Valdes and his masterful double save has been the turning point tonight, as important as Messi's brace.

City are favourites imo.

Should be a lot of goals.

More then 4.5, maybe even 5.5 goals per leg is buying money imo.

Agreed.

Ah feck off Messi. Still San Andre, better pass was to Alexis. :pac:

Blustering winds, torrential rain, saturated pitch, all rendered insignificant by the genius of Messi's left foot, a swish of sublime quality.

You're not a commentator!!! We all already f#cking know Valdes came through the Barcelona youth system!!!

Not impressed with Barca.

But they are winning, which is more than what Atleti managed.

If they keep playing like this though Man City should thump them. Wonder what the odds you'd get would be?

Ohhhhh what a goal! In the monsoon like conditions of Andalucia, Messi finds a sublime half volley that will fire Barcelona to the top of the table. Barcelona, the world media and the fans asked and Lionel Messi has answered. It's genius, soaking, dripping genius.

Ah here, stop

Amazing how quiet you were when Barca were behind.

No he hasn't. No one has doubted that he's scoring goals it's his overall contribution to the game that is in doubt. He's been woeful for the entire game so far. Cesc would have made Barca's attack look more coherent. They're incredibly lucky to be even in this tie.

Sevilla missed three gilt edge opportunities. You could argue that luck balanced out the two goals. Pique blocked the linesman so he couldn't tell whether alexis was off or not. Bartra's deflection was unfortunate. But should the free for Barca's goal have been given? Should Song still be on the pitch? And, why oh why, didn't Rakitic pass the ball. They had a clear overlap. Sevilla should be winning here but aren't.

Yeah, it's soaking, dripping genius.

what a goal by Messi

Big save Victor Valdes! The Barca stopper gets out quick and saves with his feet.

Clearly offside, what an injustice.

Sanchez has done better this season but for me isn't good enough to start for Barcelona. Woeful miskick leads to a great chance for Rakitic.

Typically Sanchez then goes and scores.
