    They are not that bad this year. Madrid are a lot worse for me.

    I'd like a barca and Madrid final myself.

    Not me, both of them rolling around for the entire game would ruin it.

    Was going to mention the very same thing.

    70% possession, and when they don't pass or bore the opposition into submission, they fall down and whinge like a 2 year old who isn't getting an ice cream off the ice cream man.

    Suarez just there today, mortally injured but then perky enough to to start yappin about not getting a free.
    Beautiful game indeed.

    Point me to the team that never dives...

    Barca are AMAZING to watch and tbh I don't think that's subjective. It's scintillating football.

    The diving and theatrics is in the culture of LaLiga, they're all at it, Real are worse in my view. The Italians do it too - you're a Juve fan are you?, they're just as bad. In fact they do it in England and everywhere else to a lesser extent perhaps, but it happens everywhere. Diving and theatrics aside no-one plays football like Barca at their best.

    But if Sanchez played for Barca you'd be sucking his balls and don't pretend you wouldn't.

    You haven't been listening to George Hamilton lately, Sanchez does play for Barca.

    That's like saying "show me a team that never attacks".
    Or course every team does it.

    Personally I think I prefered to watch Jupp Heynckes Bayerns team to Peps.

    Messi is just incredible to watch. A lot of stats get thrown around about him, but the most impressive has to be that he's won THREE times as many Champions League winners medals as Djimi Traore. Best player ever, without question.

    Only just realised you were talking about Reina, I misread that as Pep.
    You're bang on tbh, only after the money now, he's in poor shape for a professional footballer also.

    You indicate Barcelona are a team of divers, individuals is what dives at most clubs...

    I suggest Burnley anyway :)

    He was having the craic there at half time like he was playing a junior B match against a load of lads he used to go to school with.

    Meh. You're reason is stupid. No point being hyperbolic about diving and play acting when it's in the game.

    I would do the same. I have no shame. I would even be eating macdonalds.

    Must be great though playing with all those players and getting the best seat in the house.

    There comes a point when it stops being luck. The man is a genius. He does that so often and has a success rate of 99%. He doesn't get lucky, it's a skill.

    of course he is great at it but the real skill in it is intercepting the through ball before the attacker. I thought he was caught in no mans land there and a good touch by neymar he was in serious trouble.

    Barca are unlucky that their chances keep going to Suarez and Neymar rather than Messi. As good as the other 2 are, messi is a different class
