Alba signed up

Pedro re-signed:cool:

No sign of Alves yet. It really looks, inexplicably, like ye've lost him.

Bizarre. An excellent defender and attacking player.

It'd be a real shame if he goes, his form in the second half of the season matches his prime form. No matter what right back the club sign he won't have the same level of understanding with Messi that's for sure.

treble winners in 24 hours... hopefully. Tots units fem força

I don't think anyone would've disagreed with his departure really before Christmas and that may be why he ultimately goes (judging by his interview last week criticising the board), but his upsurge in form has been matched by the results and form of the team.

Form is temporary ,class is permanent.

I do wish Alves would improve his crossing of the ball though,for someone who gets forward so much and has so much ball his crossing is really poor.

dfx- · 06-06-2015 12:51AM

His form in the 18-24 months up to Christmas was possibly one of someone who needed to go.

The big plus point of Alves is the late run onto a ball over the top from Iniesta/Xavi around the edge of the box like that one against Munich that Neuer saved.

Alba is very very fast, you can get defenders who will defend, you can get them who can cross, but that sense of being alive to get in behind and in on goal himself is a big plus point.

THESE F*CKERS HAVE REGAINED SENSE OF HUMOUR

Proceed

With all this talk of Alves leaving is there any chance ye'll be throwing an eye at Bellerin? Is it too soon for him, would ye rather a more established player? I thought he was excellent when asked to step up this season.

Didn't realise Sid Lowe writes for other news sites (other than the Guardian), very good journo.

He is. His articles are well written. He definitely knows his stuff and his audience.

Champions of Europe lads! Treble winners! Second time in 6 years, 4th champions league in 9 years, the best team of their generation, maybe the greatest team ever and we've all been lucky enough to watch and savour them every single week. What a time to be alive!

Good man Rakitic ,I knew that something had reminded me to put a bet on you to score

dfx- · 07-06-2015 12:13AM

Iniesta has MOTM in the CL final, Euro final and WC final now I think

English Champions knocked out
French Champions knocked out
German Champions knocked out
Italian Champions knocked out
The league won at the Spanish Champions.

Not bad.:)

Yip,all Barcelona's matches in the Champions league were against national champions ,Ajax and Apoel being the other two teams they played.

gimmick · 07-06-2015 01:03AM

Iniesta was beautiful tonight but the best player for Barca tonight was the horrifically over looked Busquets. Not a single tackle or pass did he miss. A perfect player.

Then there was Pique. An absolute colossus in defense and did his best to be the same in attack.

Then the front 3. I'll not bother saying anything aside from pure and utter class.

If Enrique walks away best of luck to him. It does not get any better.

dreamers75 · 07-06-2015 01:06AM

if the pricks had of scored another goal i would be 2k richer.

*****

and **** rakitic ....:D

IrishCule · 07-06-2015 08:14PM

Probably the best CL win ever given the teams we beat on route.

gimmick · 07-06-2015 09:52PM

The celebrations at the Camp Nou looked pretty special. Not least with The Dark Knight theme tune played for the fireworks finale. Incredible.

Barcelona planning for life without Dani Alves ?

FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC have struck a deal to bring Aleix Vidal to the Camp Nou, with the 25-year-old signing a five-year contract that will keep him at the Club until June 2020.

Vidal – a pacey right wing back – will be officially presented on Monday, with the signing ceremony set to take place at 1.00 pm CET after a morning of medical tests at the Hospital de Barcelona and the Centre Mèdic at the Ciutat Esportiva.

45 minutes later, Aleix Vidal will take part in the traditional photo session on the Camp Nou pitch in the Barça strip and at 2.15 he’ll give his first press conference at the Club.

But are they not banned from signing anyone until the end of the year?

They can register players now, just not play them till January.

MarkY91 · 08-06-2015 08:24AM

So apparently the transfer banned barca will sign vidal and he will arrive in january.

Personally, anytime ive seen him he has been a passenger. Cl final for example

Personally I think this is a joke.

Whatever way you look at this, they are signing a new player. When hes allowed to play is irelevant.

Once again, football makes a mockery of the rules.
