For all their great play Barcelona can't seem to put a game to bed. Against a team like Bayern, Atletico and even Juventus (depending on which one turns up) I can see them getting done.

Atleti, Porto and Monaco = No chance. The rest could do it but it's probably between Barca & Bayern.

Tyler giving them a moral victory

such an apologist for them..'no disgrace in losing to Barca'...what bollox...like us they have spent enough to be able to beat them but have lost two years in a row to them, comfortably too, last 16...barca have never beaten us when we have had 11 men and head to head record is massively in our favour

Messi That guy can do anything (except take penalties at the moment).

Hart making a pretty good job application to Barca. A brilliant game by him.

i want psg to draw bayern or barca

Messi That guy can do anything (except take penalties at the moment).

Or score against us...but I hope hazard was watching..I don't think he will ever get to Messi's level, but he can do more to get closer to it

Will be interesting to hear sky's pundits now...will they go for City as much as they lost the plot with us?

Joe Hart said 'we go again' uh oh...

Carragher opens up with 'City did well tonight' - unbelievable

Going so easy on them, despite City playing the WORST out of the 3 english teams

Jamie Carragher - won 2005 Champions League; Thierry Henry - won 2009 Champions League; Jamie Redknapp - won F all

Jamie Carragher - won 2005 Champions League; Thierry Henry - won 2009 Champions League; Jamie Redknapp - won F all

Jamie Redknapp - watched Chelsea win the Champions League

Good second-half from Hart but the game belonged to Messi, for that first-half performance.

 

You didn't want the referee to blow.

 

In fact the referee should be shot for blowing.

 

He should have just let the first-half run on and on forever.

 

How anyone can claim Ronaldo is better than this guy evades me.

 

If you love football you love Messi, simple as that.

 

Forget all the tribal stuff, we watch football because we love football and Messi is a gift to all of us.

And the answer is a firm no...

i'm so glad there is only one more season of CL on sky, won't have to listen to this drivel

This is the end of sky's coverage of English football in champions league...problem is I doubt bt will be any better

Actually this is a question which has intrigued me recently - am I predominantly a football fan or a Chelsea fan?

 

Obviously I still watch and enjoy football when Chelsea aren't playing, but judging from my arguments in the other thread I am more than happy to sacrifice quality of football in the name of Chelsea winning.

Chelsea supporter first. Always.

 

No matter what Messi did or didn't do tonight it wasn't close to being an enjoyable or thrilling as watching you own team play, even if it's a youth team game.

What do Messi and Willian have in common?

 

They both like standing still for a loooooong time over the ball and then ..

 

No, that's where the similarity stops.

You think Sky is bad? Wait till you hear Savage and those two Scouse twats on BT Sport.

I will miss Neville. Always enjoy games when he's commentating. Especially the CL.

 

 

f**king disgrace.

Shame. Sky's coverage has always been top drawer in my opinion whereas BT still feels amateur. Obviously Sky isn't perfect and Redknapp is a know-nothing twat but really dislike the idea of the Premier European competition being on BT.

Messi is head and shoulders above anybody in that Barcelona team, and it shows too. He is the orchestrator and when he retires, it will be interesting to see how they cope without him. 

I agree...neymar still looks more hype than substance
