The people watching La Liga regularly, what do you think about Diego Reyes from Sociedad? Seems to be a good centre back.

This selflessness that personifies the MSN partnership is what sets them apart and probably makes them the best trio ever assembled.
This is true. Three world class players all prepared to work for each other.

At the same time, that penalty was stupid. Looked good, but fecking stupid.

Best front 3 i've ever seen play next to each other, it's borderline cheating to be this good.

The fact that they're so selfless and seem to really like each other makes it even worse, not a dig on ronaldo but they wouldn't score half those goals if they had his attitude.

We're lucky they aren't playing in the premier league, otherwise we'd be out of the title race in December.

Rewatching the highlights in BeIN sports, Ray Hudson surely had a wankfest on our behalf tonight! I don't think he even understands half what he's saying.

Well we are shit at penalties, I somehow feel messi is more comfortable taking a free kick from 25m than penalties. Neymar is simply atrocious. This was atleast fun, and people will talk about it.

Messi has been very good at freekicks lately, an extra weapon for Barca now.

I think that is a step too far. I'm all for an innovative penalty. A cheeky Pirlo chip or no look attempt, whatever. But that is just plain disrespectful to the opposition.

I agree.

Although, aside from that, it's just fecking stupid. Take the penalty. If you want your mate to get his third, let him take the fecking penalty.

Every Celta coach and player were asked about it after the game, and all of them answered that it was neither offending nor disrespectful. Stop sucking the fun out of football ffs.

Some guy on Dutch TV said these big scorelines are unnecessarily humiliating for smaller teams. Feck that, it's just football, let the fans be entertained, they pay shitloads of money for it.

Only really Messi who has a bad record, surprisingly. Are Suarez and Neymar crap from the spot?

Neymar is. Already missed four this season as far as i recall , including the latest before today.

Suarez scored two out of two. I want him to be our main penalty taker.

Still stupid, though.
That's a matter of taste. Most people seemed to enjoy it. It's not like it'll be a reoccurring thing.

Totally agree. Besides, Celta were solid for 70 minutes and nearly drew it at 2-2.

It was entertaining, but for obvious reasons, it's just not a good idea.

He won't mind not taking it then, as he scored anyway (and I don't get the impression that they're trying to one up each other anyway). But Suarez would have been the obvious choice, chasing a hat trick an all.

What are people smoking (with stupid etc)? They were leading 3-1 so they wanted a bit show. In addition, the guy who first used this type of penalty is a Barca legend.

We missed so many penalties this season, nothing wrong with a bit of creativity to do the job.
Messi really shouldn't be the default penalty taker. He's excellent at just about everything else, but that's the one thing he's crap at.

I actually think Messi is a better passer of the ball than Iniesta. I would say Xavi too, but he operated deeper and he was a fecking genius.

I can see him playing slightly behind the attack in years to come, could really prolong his career into his late 30s, ala Pirlo. His passing is that fecking good.

Are you serious?
What whiney cnuts.. its a game, sport is there primarily for entertainment. No one gives a shit if 22 men kick a football around.. it is meant to be escapism and no onedoes that better than Barcelona.

If only United were capable of such disrespect. Instead our club disrespects their own fanbase instead.
