He came on and barca scored their third, probably should have tried to close down xavi for the 4th too. Barca have had the ball since hes been on.

Came on as a sub after 79 minutes, did nothing.

Came on in the 79th minute, so we saw very little of him.

Barca always look more comfortable when they are two goals up. They still have a lot of questions to answer and I think City could give them a real tough time in the second leg of the Champion's League.

Its just hard to tell exactly where they are right now. Busquets was awesome as per usual and my MoM tonight.

Turtwig · 02-03-2014 10:17PM

Barcelona were a disorganised mess at times. City can still beat them imo. Messi isn't providing any movement and that'll be a big problem against solid defences.

CSF · 02-03-2014 10:34PM

City ain't beating Barca. If there was one team whose performance today shone them in a bad light for the conclusion of that tie it wasn't Barca.........unfortunately.

Moneymaker · 02-03-2014 11:20PM

City score first it could be interesting but one would imagine Barca will score at least 1 goal and that should be enough to put it to bed.

Turtwig · 02-03-2014 11:24PM

Barca sore first get complacent. City need three goals to win regardless. Barca's 1-0 makes no difference really to city qualifying. City go for broke and Barca like they have done in la ligament a few times crumble under the pressure.

Just a scenario. Still expect Barca to win.

ThunbergsAreGo · 03-03-2014 09:33AM

Shouldnt Barca be hammering a team like Almeria?

From the above i presume they werent that impressive?

La Liga is really set up for a great finale, cannot wait. Hoping for an A.Madrid win, but think they had to win last night to get it

TheNap · 03-03-2014 09:48AM

Im pretty sure its a ploy Barca have for Messi to stand static enough between the 2 centre halves . It means it creates more space for people in behind . Then when the time comes for Messi to be involved he can can change a game in an instant . Something like 13 goals in 13 games this year is impressive , along with numerous assists .

However as a City fan i dont think the tie is over just yet . With Aguero back and if Navas starts i still think we can trouble them . Heart says a 3-1 win for City but my head says a borefest of a game

They toyed with them, it was a training match really. As was mentioned, in the first 10 mins the Barca line was in almerias half.

Messi free kick was brilliant. He didnt really try though but could turn in a flash. Xavi was class throughout, made them tick all night. Neymar is hilariously one footed, he could have skinned his man 10 Times but always cut onto his right. Valdes was shockingly bad for the goal. 72% possession though, so they did what they had to. Almeria were very disciplined in 2nd half.

Barca will go through in CL, they will dictate the game but not win by much in the end!

CSF · 08-03-2014 03:24PM

Not even doing an Anderson post because I ****ing have Barca in my accum. ****s sake!!!

Its not the only game on. 3 more on today.

ThunbergsAreGo · 08-03-2014 04:47PM

On the last ten minutes Barca look like they deserve nothing, not a chance created.

Valladolid could have had a few more with a bit more craft

Jaysus does anyone want to win La Liga this year?

Shocking performance from Barca.

Thank god, was worried they'd bottle it.

Over to you Real.

The funny thing is, I have a soft spot for Athletic Club Bilbao

But then, I have that coupon on both Manchester teams, Athletico Madrid and Bilbao to win, which gives me 9/2...on a 2 Euro free voucher

Nuri Sahin · 18-03-2014 11:06PM

Jese out for the rest of the season after tonight after a "complete tear in cruciate anterior ligament of right knee". Real shame that. Thought he had a chance of going to Brazil given his recent performances.

Mars Bar · 18-03-2014 11:23PM

That's a real shame. He was having a brilliant season.

Just saw the table for the second division in Spain. Holy moly...

6 points between play offs and relegation, tight stuff!

Not Spanish, but that's nothing compared to the league table in Romania's third division in the 80's:

Hopefully Depor secure their place back in La Liga, the Riazor is one of the more atmospheric grounds in Spain from what I recall. Still remember the final game of the season they were relegated where they had to win a few years ago now, but couldn't score for the life of them. Atleti's Adrian missed so many chances that day.

And 70 year old Cesar Sanchez played out of his skin!

Andersonisgod · 26-03-2014 07:08PM

Sparkling, champagne football as Barcelona continue where they left off at the weekend. It's vintage football as Messi finds Sanchez who finds Neymar.

Mars Bar · 26-03-2014 07:22PM

Not looking good for Valdes
