FC Barcelona
Anyone else enjoying their matches lately?
Poetry in motion.
They are in the UEFA Champions League final after beating Real Madrid 3-1 aggregate yesterday. Manchester United and Schalke play today at 2:45 EST. Man U leads 2-0 and is playing at home.
If anyone is on the fence about soccer, watch the UEFA final. Should be a superb display.
I eat, sleep, and bleed soccer football.
Yes, Barcelona are playing some nice football. Their passing is deadly and possession percentage is always through the roof. Lionel Messi is the greatest player on Planet Earth. That always helps too...
Barcelona proved why they are the best team on the planet right now. The Mighty Mighty Red never really had a chance.
That bastard Valencia should have been kicked in the nuts and then ejected. I can't believe the ref warned him four times about his dirty play before giving him a card. Should have been a red.
Other than that I thought both sides played hard, with respect for the game and each other.
I watched the whole game and loved every bit of it. Manchester United just got embarrassed on National TV all over the world. How awesome is that! Well, to me as a Liverpool fan it is. 70% possession to 30%. 10 SOG vs 1 SOG. It's amazing how Barca can do this. Even Fergie knew his team just got manhandled straight up, so good of him to shake Pep's hand with a smile.
In all honestly, you've probably witnessed one of the greatest teams in history play on Saturday.

Indeed.
They would have won even without Messi. They are a finely tuned machine.

Yup. I *hate* ManUre with a passion, and that was a sweet game. Any chance I get to see Cur Alex cry like a baby is worth it.
FWIW - I'm a die-hard Schalke 04 fan, so them beating us like red headed step children in the semis is probably a good thing. Barca would have buried us in the final even worse than ManU.
