As good as Barca are, that was too easy!

JPA

Lovely breakaway goal.

DDC1990

What a goal!

Messi is magic.

Turtyturd

Great ball, great finish.

Underground

Nice finish. Camera keeps panning to Pep at every opportune moment.

City always needed two
City still need two

Makes not a huge difference for City that. They always needed two.

Just don't look remotely like getting it.

shano_88

What an assist and finish. Brilliant goal

Turtyturd

Sagna lol.

SEPT 23 1989

It means exactly that, especially as he got the ball first and the technique of the sliding tackle was textbook. As good as tackle as you will see anywhere.

Where does it allow that???

You still can't clear out a player!!!

Era you can.

You just can't clear out the player in order to reach the ball, and then use "I got the ball" as your excuse.

Guardiola rises in unison with his fellow Catalans, barely able to believe what they have just seen, they are there to bear witness to the genius of Barcelona, to the genius of Lionel Messi.

Terrible marking on Messi there in the lead up to the goal. 2 players not even jockeying him so much as watching and admiring him. Put a foot in ffs! He's not untackleable no matter how good he is!

I'm not sure you realise how live sport works. The camera stays on Pep for the entire 90 minutes. The director decides which camera to switch to for the live feed that we see.

There are over a hundred cameras out there, most of them don't "pan". They stay focuses on their subjects for the whole game.

efb

That's a foul too

BorneTobyWilde

I expect City to fall apart now
Although not much has changed
They need to hang in there
Score next Game on

Neymar, what the hell

Edit: That was actually a nasty swipe to be fair

Nasri- snigger

GreNoLi

Nasri fool.

Are you seriously saying that a tackle should win the ball without the man being tackled ever falling to the ground or getting a bruise or two as a result of the tackle? Have you played a game of football?

googled eyes

City ain't finishing with 11 on the pitch

efb

Deliberate trip yellow

Sorry Mr Spielberg.

The point I was making is that we seem to be shown an awful lot of Pep, a sight I'm not sure is all that interesting.

klose

Should be off

The_Kew_Tour

Messi has been immense. Hope he scores now.

LuckyLloyd

lol Neymar, what a sham of a "man" with that rolling around. Pure nonsense.

BorneTobyWilde

That's a red
He just kicked him
No tackle
Just kicked him !

Kompany has a lot to answer for there in my opinion.

Nasri is an over rated moody b@llox!!

LuckyGent88

Some hack job by Nasri!! No chance city last this game with 11 men again

IvySlayer

They've lost their heads

This tie is still on for City

DDC1990

Nasty enough from Nasri.

Probably right, to be fair.

Turtyturd

Should have been red.

elefant

Nasri looking a bit fat?

Doubt he'll last the 90 if he isn't subbed.

More to do with the name and rep of Messi there than the ability of the lad. Should have been stopped before passing it. Terrible defending.

I am asking where the rules state you can clear a player out!this isn't the combined counties league get changed in the car pints later

BorneTobyWilde

You do that off the ball it's a red
He had no intention of winning ball
He just kicked him as hard as he could
Should be off

I agree with you in many respects but he's also that good that players can't get near him.

efb

This is beautiful

Messi obviously learned how to nutmeg from Suarez.
