He had two surgeries to correct that i think.. hopefully, he stays injury free the remainder of the season.

Debroslink:


Can't you see the link-up play and understanding between Paulinho and Messi? Yesterday alone, Paulinho would have scored an hat-trick. No thanks to that Madrid keeper.

Messi was directly involved in all of those Paulinho's goal attempts.

BTW, I'm not here to discuss Paulinho vs Roberto. Both have different styles of play. When you see Roberto, remember Iniesta.


When you see Paulinho, remember Rivaldo.

haymekus:


Paulinho played very well yesterday bro

He is an attacking midfielder and not a central midfielder so don't expect him to do xavi's job

In fact, he shd always be in our starting eleven

Remember, no Madrid player has scored more goals than him in LA liga this season

jonsnow92:
It backfired big time..In the second half Kovacic was tasked with following Messi around..If you watch our first goal,Instead of Kovacic to close down Rakitic,He kept running towards Messi and thus Clear road for Rakitic..It was sweet to watch!.

sebod:
Look at those we have back here!
Dmcdad? Philapheron? Darkrebel? That's the magic of Classico!

By the way, Messi still owns me an explanation as to why he had to punish Marrcelo that wickedly before setting up Vidal for the third goal in front of Ronaldo. Pure magic!

Imagine what PSG is gonna

do to them

Meanwhile, to digress a bit... Man City will be celebrating Christmas with 13 points. Wow. I thought this day would never come in EPL, but lo and behold, the same overrated Pep is doing wonders with a City side not too great in my opinion. Yes, they are good and they have some world class players, but come on, they are nowhere near Barça's invincibles, and yet they're doing the Lord's work in the supposed Almighty EPL. Na wa ooooo. Wonders will indeed never end.

It's a pity some Barcelona fans haven't learnt their lesson. Because we beat Madrid 3-0, you think they've lost it? This is the 3rd time we defeated them @ Bernabeu, but Madrid are back to back UCL champions.

Come February, Real Madrid will activate their beast mode. I don't see PSG beating them. Expect Ronaldo to activate his February - May tap-in form.

My desire is that Barcelona shouldn't burn out by then. We should keep firing in all cylinder and be very active @ the latter stages like semi final and final.

Barcelona had qualified for the final ? Unless they get their shįt together and pray PSG flops....

RoyalBlak007:



You think Madrid would have won it back to back if

Barcelona had qualified for the final ? Unless they get their shįt together and pray PSG flops....

When it comes to semi finals and finals, Madrid always defeat Barcelona (90%). It's a sad fact. The records are there.

Last time we met them in the champs league semi finals, we eliminated them.

dmcdad:

Mehn... The match was a joy to watch. They had their chances and could have killed the game in the first period, but thank goodness they were sloppy. We had ours in the second period and made them pay for their sloppiness.

Imagine this useless Madrid side and some people will wish PSG is eliminated from the UCL because of their hatred for Neymar. I don't like Chelsea, ever! But compared to Madrid? I love them with the full strength of my heart.

sebod:

I am happy for Pep for proving the epl guys wrong. He's not only dominating but also doing it with the style they said was never possible. The narrative has changed though. What we keep hearing now is how he has to spend to play beautifully and I keep asking, does that means other managers are spending papers? Why nobody ever told us the kind of dominance and style could be possible in Epl provided a manager is able to assemble the right legs? Why the sudden change of narrative? Well; that's epl fan boys for you.

As regards PSG and RM, I doubt if a true Cule would prefer RM qualifying over PSG. I want to believe all what we read here are just jokes. What's my biz in having many Spanish teams in UCL to be favouring Madrid to qualify? Any team with a chance of knocking out Madrid has my full support.

As regards Neymar, he only becomes an enemy the day he joins Madrid. He's always my boy irrespective of the heartbreak he caused me when he left.

Debroslink:


Man city can destroy the EPL as expected. But when it comes to Europe, the TRINITY are still there. I don't see Man city beating any of them in 2 legged tie.

afroduke:
5 Things are realized from RMD vs FCB.

1) sergio busquet is the most underrated player. He is easily the best midfielder in la liga, currently

2) Madrid are scared of messi. kovacic rather allowed rakitic run into the 18yard with the ball than let go of messi.

3) Messi is the brain of the team. every attack is initiated by messi

4) Ronaldo and benzema were too predictable for vermaleen and pique to pocket them.

5) Ter stergen can play midfield too

that feeling you get when you know that

1.you've been away to RM,ATM,VALENCIA and VILLAREAL and still unbeaten

2.dembele,rafinha and umtiti will be back in the new year

3.there is a winter transfer window

4.RM players wanted a guard of honour but ended up giving rakitic the guard of honour enroute to the first goal


orgasmic!!!

Ibime:


See this one. Common Paulinho you are busy raving.

If Lampard played for Barca, na Pele you for call am, never mind Rivaldo.

Neymar1095:
Messi did nothing all game other than
scoring a penalty. Yet, he is somehow getting the
most praise over this 3-0 win as his teammates
get ignored. Thank God Neymar left. It's bullshit.
