Fair play to Xavi- he certainly deserves it. Glad Plantini presented it to him also

Turtyturd

Deserved by Barca in the end. Delighted for 'Louie'.

@daraobriain: It must be great for Luis Suarez to have finally won the same number of Champions Leagues as Thomas Vermaelen.

Women's World Cup? Euro 16 qualifiers???

Nice moment between Xavi and Pirlo afterwards. Has been a privilege to watch these two over the years.

Pogba has some potential. Skills strength and engine

He'd be peerless in any midfield in the premier league; A younger, quicker, stronger version of Yaya.

Yep, other than Euro16 qualifiers, womens world cup, various underage tournaments, early rounds of next seasons UEFA competitions, the Copa America, and summer leagues like the LOI.

I'm not sure how we cope with the drought to be honest.

Loving the shameful bitterness shown for Patrice, all those PL titles still hold some weight

Why do people keep saying Ter Stegen was dodgy tonight? I thought he was very composed tonight, especially as a youngster

Looks to me like the standard average Barca keeper. I'll never understand why they don't go for a top class keeper like De Gea

efb

ITV moaning about the disallowed goal

It's not only bitterness towards Patrice would you believe..

GreNoLi

If Juve can replace Pirlo and hold onto Vidal/Pogba they'll have the best midfield in world football.

Tonight has been justice for Suarez. Take that Evra you little whiner.

Agreed.

But the "revenge for suarez " and the "won 5 times" comments are just as bad, albeit more subtle

brevity

Not enough coverage of the players celebrating on RTE.

My issue with Evra is nothing to do with Suarez, he's such a deceitful whinger

To blame for the second goal too. Totally lost Suarez and left him get ahead of him.

Wasnt just Barça stopping United winning 5

Barca under Pep were more ruthless and efficient imo. Relentless pressing from start till end combined with tika taka on tap to dictate the game at any stage, made them unplayable. They rely now more on the brilliance of Neymar, Messi and Suarez as a unit as opposed to the team. I'd rather face this Barca side both as a player and fan every single time over Pep's Barca.

Well if they get through the qualifying they might face them

Juventus have some team and some spirit for a club that has been through so much sh*t in the last ten years or so and considering all the all time greats retired and gone from them they're still the king pins of Italy (not too hard but still) and back in the big time in the Champions League. That in itself is a massive achievement. No shame losing to the best team on the planet, a team who'd give any team in history a run for their money. They badly need Pogba and Vidal to stay in order to keep improving but that will be a massive task. They could slot into any XI in the world with ease.

All of Juve's shît was their own making tbf

Good game , Barca deserved winners

I just want to add, the Catalonia flag planted in the middle of the pitch, that's what Barcelona is as a club, it's what this club represents, it's more than simply a football club.

It's also a flag

In a vain effort to talk about the match, I thought Pique played very well.

If he never played for United you wouldn't give a toss about him.
