UEFA super cup

Barca 2-1 up courtesy of 2 superb messi free kicks.

That_Guy

Messi is ridiculous. Two identical free kicks. Sublime. Ter Stegen should be embarrassed about his attempted "goalkeeping" for Sevilla's free kick all the same.

That_Guy

Worth noting that this is also on RTE 2

Hard day at work I had, didn't know this was on. Nice remedy watching this genius at work

Bit **** how bt dont have james richardson and co on european football this year.

KingdomYid

He is a magician, makes football worth watching these days.

It's a huge match, massively underrated it seems.

I'm having difficulty trying to work out where exactly Owen Hargreaves is from... He is atrocious.

marklazarcovic

3 great strikes in fairness

The KO was at 10.45 PM local time. Late night for all.

He makes Michael Owen seem average.

Andersonisgod

Stunning build up play, Messi looks unaffected by having to play under Tata, he's back and his form is otherworldly.

statto25

Just noticed the linesman on right is from Swinford!

GreNoLi

Bad decision.

Put RTE on. We have Brian Kerr!

La liga is going to be a cakewalk for Barca.

That_Guy

Brilliant from Suarez but should have finished himself.

Andersonisgod

3-1! Devastating! Football from the Gods, it's an exhibition delivered by the true football artists, savour every moment it for this is the great show.

Seville are missing about six players through illness, atlético have bought well during the summer, Valencia have managed to keep everyone and real Madrid are real madrid

The European football season is well and truly back. I've missed your beautiful nonsense.

MarkY91

Other than his 2 free kicks, how is the little man playing? Only turned on for added time of first half

Had no idea if was on if I'm being honest..

GreNoLi

None of them were free kicks, the way Suarez goes down is comical.

akelly02

It has to be said two clear dives from the barca players.disgraceful really. The seville free was also soft.

I've been foaming at the mouth for a couple months, just waiting, bored by the lack of beautiful football, angry seeing Tata Martino do the impossible and actually make Messi look average, I've been waiting for this day but the wait has made it all the sweeter. Every jink, every drop of the shoulder, every round the corner pass, every darting run, every nutmeg, every goal that Messi has produced has been enhanced by the wait.

Yeah it was bad alright, there is some serious divers on that team, Messi though is a class act though.

That_Guy

Such a shame that James Richardson and co aren't on the BT Sport Europe channel.

Your man Jake Humphreys has about as much personality as a stick.

Ive missed your posts dude!

Sevilla's defence is stilted and unnatural.

Ulysses Gaze

Ronaldo can score 1000 goals in La Liga, but he'll never be as good a player as Messi is.

He's dominating the game. When he takes on Tremoulinas he's destroying him, when he cuts inside he's made Sevilla's two holding players and centre backs look a bit silly. His passes are breaking the lines at will, his passes down the side of the defence have been effective, he's been the outstanding player in a phenomenal team.

Be honest... You've written erotic stories about Messi haven't you?

At least ya didn't have to endure Giles suggesting that k
The keepers should have only put 2 men in the wall so they could see the kick being taken :rolleyes:

All that was missing was him pushing the boat out and suggesting putting a defender on the line for them.

"goal suarez"

eternal

It shows the difference between the standard of the Europa and CL.

JPA

Hargreaves talking about Iniesta reinventing himself as a central midfielder. WTF?

Andersonisgod

There's the culmination of fantastic pressing throughout. 4-1, an awesome display.

Tbf to Sevilla they are a very good side who aren't parking the bus, who are having a go, most teams wouldn't try that against Barcelona.

Washington Irving

Reyes pulls one back out of nowhere

4-2

GreNoLi

Nice.

Andersonisgod

Just as I say that they score.

That_Guy

Can't say I've seen a huge amount of Rafinha but he looks like a great player. Sevilla haven't been great but he's made things look effortless for himself.

The Backwards Man

Don't think I've ever watched a full 90 of the super cup, can't get into it at all, it's just a glorified charity shield. Switched over to the Dundee derby just in time to see Utd score two goals that would be salivated over for months if Barca scored them.

LuckyGent88

About to get very interesting.

Harry Palmr

4-3! :eek:

They can't defend at all.

That_Guy

Should be off. Bottler ref.

Shocker.

Washington Irving

Awful from Mathieu.
