Those boring sequence of useless horizontal passes that Barca keep doing deserve nothing else

I was literally

Seriously, take Messi out of that team and they are like a kids training on easy passes in a park

Barca should take off Ibra.

Playing such a static striker is playing into Inter's hand. Play Messi there or bring on Henry.

Gudjohnsen in Sky studio is wearing a purple cardigan or vest. A hommage to Pep.

Yep! Agree. He has been completely useless so far. Henry would add more pace to the attack.

Thought Pep would have brought the leather tie for today. Maybe for the return.

I hope they do... coz so far, Ibra is worring me more than Messi. Ibra can score out of no-where, Henry will be more predictable for Samuel-Lucio.

Please lets not turn this into another Henry discussion.

My point is valid, inter are having easy(exacltly like they'd like it) because Ibra is currently ridiculously static. Put a dynamic striker in hiss position and you'll see the Barca machine in full force again.

Henry isn't the same player anymore, but he'll bring a lot more dynamism into their play, and Inter would find it much more difficult to defend.

You still hold him in high regards?

Puyol booked and now misses the 2nd leg.

After 6 Inter players talked to referee he finally decided to give Puyol yellow card

PUYOL!

Gotta love strong refs. I don't think he was even gonna give the freekick till Milito turned round and shouted at him.

The beautiful game

BTW, when are Barca gonna bring Messi on!!

That should have been 2-2. Good save from Julio Cesar, but he shouldn't have been given the chance to save it.

two good saves by cesar over the last 5 minutes....

looks like stanko is gonna come on!!

Zanetti

Stankovic for Pandev, good move...

i expected nothing else from messi, its the first time in a the complete season where he plays a decent defensive side

his game is too limited to create something, a dinho at his peak would have raped all over them

Thats the 3rd time Zanetti has won a one-on-one with Messi!

So, when Valdes did everything by the book and punched Etoo's shot to his right side - "he should do better", but when Cesar punched the ball in front of him after Messi's shot - "it's a good save".

Would Jose trust the impossibly stupid Balotelli enough to throw him into a game like this Blue ?

Hopefully bringing Stank on doesn't backfire on him.
