At United we are used to it. Messi is even smaller and weaker though.

Balances out when you factor in La Liga vs. the Premiership.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and perhaps Van Persie are the 3 best players in the world in terms of pure, raw talent.

Barça playing it around nicely now, but they have to think about scoring another.

Amazing run again by Messi. If only he finished that...

nice move by Messi again

the ref's not doing us any favours

come on lads, keep your concentration

what a fantastic control, vision and pass by dinho there!

Braca 2-0

eto'o

wooohhhhh

phew

yippee

cool finish by eto'o too

seems like messi is putting on a real show.

ps van Persie and ronaldo aren't in messi's class when it comes to pure talent

Neeskens looks delighted , great man.

now tomorrow sit back and see how our rivals knock eachother out.

a draw would be nice.

Messi the best player tonight but MOTM Ronaldinho with his two inch-perfect assists.

tbh can't remember the last time Messi wasn't our best player on the night.

the scary thing is he hasn't even peaked yet. Imagine how good he could become by the age of 24, 25....

If i could only see what are going to be the comments of RM players who were convinced that through this week they are going to be at top of the league.
Unless.... the federation give them 5 points for a win tomrrow.

I'm not laughing yet. If they beat Sevilla tomorrow, they are still only two points off the lead. Whatever happens tomorrow though, we will be better off than yesterday.

And since Atletico will beat you next week, I'd say you're in plenty of trouble.

I loved that match, the performance was much better than the scoreline indicated. No wonder Sociedad are 19th, there's a complete lack of any quality in their team. Some of their "shots" were so high and wide that the final score should have been 2 to -5 rather than 2-0. Good riddance to them as far as I'm concerned.

that's in two weeks, no?

next week is ... at home.

Valencia and Depor underway. I predicted Deportivo to give Los Ches some problems, let's see if I'm right.

Yeah we have Getafe in midweek then Betis at home. Should get through both without any problems, I'm not worried like I was today.

still sad, definitely one of the top 20 in Spain traditionally.

ideally I would have Valladolid and Cadiz also in there normally.

then there's sometimes space for smaller teams like Albacete, Gijon, Alaves, tenerife, las palmas, etc.

30 mins gone, 0-0 between Valencia and Depor. Bit of an ugly match, lots of rough tackles.

I'd say depor have been better so far.

Is it true valencia have only won about 4 away games all season?

valencia score!

hugo viana the scorer, the goal came completely out of the blues.

Yeah, you're right

Valencia score! Against the run of play to be honest...
