Messi offside goal.

Even when he loses the ball, it sticks to him.

 

[CliffyBiro]

Lol wonder if cesc is thinking damn I have the wrong shirt on

Doubt it....one thing he is, is that he's a professional...he's prob thinking that I need to get a goal soon

Footballing perfection from Barca, took a while to get in to their stride.

Barca just don't waste energy, everything to fast quick one touch to feet, they don't waste energy chasing bad passes 'cause there just aren't any, they press space and close you down at an incredible rate. The technical ability and belief in each other is absolutely incredible. Best team in the World by some distance, more a force of nature on the pitch.

Arsenal, while second best so far, in terms of possession and dominance (had a very good opening 10-15 minutes) still look lethal going forward. Arsenal look really pacey and up for the fight (literally in Song's case) they move the ball quickly in the final third.
Walott looks very good tonight, Cesc's the stand out for Arsenal at the moment, their Xavi if you will.

OMFG

 

[syke]

Oohh, that should have stood by the looks of things?

 

[FeFiDoh]

Are the ref and linesman related?

 

[Tummy]

Wrong decision from the lino then

Lucky Arsenal.

Good summary. Watching Barcelona just makes me smile. It makes me happy watching master craftsmen effortlessly plying their trade.

 

[Yas786]

Barca can defend that's for sure...not giving arsenal a decent chance.

 

[Grumps82]

Its ok, we got Bender to come on in the 2nd half.

 

[dante6491]

Neither side has had a corner this half. Amazing stuff.

 

[Yas786]

Arsenal have to hand it to them, they aren't giving up....still attacking....some lovely football being played by both teams....

 

[Clipsey]

3-1 Shakhtar!

 

[Alpherah]

Arsenal are lucky that Messi chose today to show he's human, and the Lino's been more useless with the offside rule then a female! (Hides!) otherwise Barca could be 3-0 up.

 

[dante6491]

No Corners. No added time. What a good game.
