I...I literally went nuts when Iniesta scored, NUTS. I've been a Barcelona fan for a long time and I'm extremely happy to see them in the final. No team would of been able to crack Chelsea at the Camp Nou. Messi was marked tightly by 3 players ALL GAME LONG. Perfect example is the goal itself. Messi got the ball, several Chelsea players went towards him which left Iniesta open.<br /><br />Barcelona reminds me so much of Argentina, it's ridiculous. They play so beautiful and similar, it's really scary. At times I wish Xavi was born in Argentina:( Euro 2008 was clearly his coming out party to the World. One of the smartest players in the World, too.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402857142181219977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-82634660515689943512009-05-07T13:18:00.000-07:002009-05-07T13:18:00.000-07:00Thank you for the heads-up, Jack!

Yes, ESSIEN and INIESTA scored great goals from distance, but they are both midfield players. <br /><br />We were talking about strikers and their long-range efforts and this tie between Barcelona and Chelsea didn't prove your point, in my opinion.<br /><br />Regarding MESSI, I'll use the words I read from a friend on his Facebook page. He said: "MESSI may have been unable during more than 180 minutes to get away from Chelsea's superb schemes to cover him. But, when it mattered the most, when he was on the ball inside the box in the very last moment of the match, he showed an incredible ability to attract three men (LAMPARD, ESSIEN and ALEX) and instead of being selfish and tried a very difficult shot with his weak leg, he had the vision to assist INIESTA and he did exactly what was needed for his team to win. And that pass was perfectly timed and dead accurate. Not an inch to the right. Not an inch to the left. Perfect pass. The rest, of course, was all INIESTA's merit and he deserves all the credit for that". <br /><br />If anything, I think the failure to break Chelsea down before that final miraculous kick, was of Barcelona as a team and not of MESSI as their star player.<br /><br />Barcelona didn't find the way to get around Chelsea's catenaccio.<br /><br />And by the way, I said in my post that I was going to shout if Barcelona scored in that last action yesterday as much as I shouted when Maxi scored against Mexico, but I didn't! I remember I got a terrible head-ache after Maxi scored that rocket of a goal for Argentina. I completely lost my voice that night. <br /><br />Yesterday I did give it a strong shout, but I didn't even get close to that day in 2006.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811923198668714629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-86193391403067741112009-05-07T05:11:00.000-07:002009-05-07T05:11:00.000-07:00I was roughly disappointed with both of Messi's pe...I was roughly disappointed with both of Messi's performances against Chelsea (especially yesterday), Sure, he was marked very tightly but yet you cant be so anonymous when you're surpposed to be the best player in the world, or at least one of the very best.

He was talking major crap around the 87th min. Saying that EPL rules this and that. Soon as Iniesta shot that and went in I flew out my seat and started cheering and laughing. The look on his face was priceless. I told him do not run your mouth ever because karma comes back and bites you in the well you know what. As for Messi, I was a big upset but you know what he gave up that ball unselfishly and they got the goal. As for a big game player, Messi does just fine I am not worried about him at tall. His showed up for many many games, it is just the pesky English who drop 5 players around him.

He really turned things around them tremendously. At least, we can now look forward to a final which WILL featured MESSI.

The performance of ...That's a tough one to address. The performance of the star players in crucial matches. <br /><br />I've heard a million times before derby matches or World Cup finals or any other important tournaments' deciders that those games are not suitable to play beautifully. Those matches are there to be won and not to play beautiful football. <br /><br />I've heard a lot of criticism on Cristiano RONALDO for his inability to show up at the most important stage and people going on and on about how he missed his penalty in the shootout of the last Champions League final (curiously enough, those critics forget it was because RONALDO's header that they managed to even get to that shootout). <br /><br />RONALDO is showing a tremendous ability to find the back of the net in important matches (2 against Villa when Liverpool were about to catch Utd; 2 last night to see off Arsenal -plus one assist-; the one at Porto to advance to the semifinals; his performance against Tottenham when Utd were trailing 2-0...). <br /><br />I don't think anybody has a point in saying he disappears when it matters the most. <br /><br />MESSI? You all saw what he did at the Bernabeu to practically clinch the La Liga title for Barcelona. And tonight (as well as last week) he suffered big time against Chelsea. <br /><br />The entire Barcelona team suffered. And which team wouldn't? It was almost impossible to play against a wall formed by those athletes. He did have a great game at Chelsea a few seasons back (with the DEL HORNO episode and MESSI hitting the post from outside the box). <br /><br />I don't think there is a lot you can blame entirely on MESSI. It was the most difficult couple of matches he had to face because of the tactical nature of those games. <br /><br />I was following MESSI very closely and EVERYTIME he was on the ball, he had 4 or 5 blue shirts around. Credit goes to Chelsea and the fault should lie on Barcelona and the inability to explode the spaces given to other players when half the Chelsea team were focusing on MESSI. <br /><br />With all of that said...you have to admit MESSI showed a flash of brilliance finding INIESTA at the most crucial time. His was a perfect assist at a perfect time. <br /><br />I don't know how Man Utd are going to approach the game in Rome, but I doubt MESSI will have less space and opportunities than when he faced Chelsea (in both legs).Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811923198668714629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-46812696735924181692009-05-06T16:58:00.000-07:002009-05-06T16:58:00.000-07:00Another thing that is very crucial in the final is...Another thing that is very crucial in the final is the battle for Ballon D'or between Messi , Cristiano and quiet possibly Iniesta!

I was watching the game in the coffee shop and my brother who missed the match called me at the 92nd minute and i was telling him that we have lost and after that i told him wait a minute... messi has the ball and after that came gooooooooooooooool celebrations which lasted 3 long minutes! Thank God the last handball of Eto'o was not given for it would have been devastating! i hope Messi improves his performance though he didn't have enough space and doesn't seem to play his best when facing English teams. Hope it's different in the final though.messidona19https://www.blogger.com/profile/13593157576987155084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-15590444269819175162009-05-06T16:11:00.000-07:002009-05-06T16:11:00.000-07:00NOW I KNOW..
Why messi was ineffective or unseen ...NOW I KNOW..<br /><br />Why messi was ineffective or unseen in the whole game. To be honest guys, this game reminded me so much of our team and how usually many other teams plays against us. And it was painful not to see Messi at his best. He needs to show in the final he is far better then CR no matter how many defenders are onto him. Otherwise, no matter the individual talent, he will be another forgotten second coming. I know it was real hard for him but that cant be the justification of a great player. He should have done better. One of the rare moment I felt fraustrated with El Flea and I bet you, the way he hugged Guradiola at the end, he knows he should have done better. So on the important match<br /><br />Dani alaves was horrible today except the last cross. The whole team didnt had that flow in the last half of chelsea and chelsea were indeed good in defence. <br /><br />Now about chelsea complaining. What goes around comes around. I remeber reading countless comments from chelsea fans saying to stop whinning about refree, well lets see wht they say now. Yes bad decisions indeed but I doubt if they would have said that if they won. The refreeing was bad indeed but for both sides and the same happened in Camp Nou as well. Either there should be some new rules or we all just should guttedly accept it how much we hate.<br /><br />Chelsea never played football as the beautiful game but just to take increase their trophy count and it still proves playing beautiful and winning still is possible. Good news for us. <br /><br />But Now, it is a dream final AND I HOPE FINALLY EL FLEA WILL SHOW, WHO REALLY IS THE MASTER OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME....p2bnnoreply@blogger.com
