True, very mysterious way

But seriously, when you see Mourinho use weird formation and line up, you can bet he is up to something.

 

Oh so this is an interesting Champions League draw...

Monaco / Juve and... the Madrid Derby

 

OK Atletico again, It seems that when Real Madrid is the champion have to defeat Atletico before.
Doblete is in the way.

 

People talk about 'hot balls' because Ian Rush shook the balls before he picked the first ball...but went almost straight to the ball of Atlético later... I won't complain, though...

 

I loved how Messi turned into a Super Saiyan and lifted Barca over Real

While Sergio Ramos... I'd love to have that guy on my team, but this

Iconic celebration of one against PSG

I wish Barça played like this against Juve...

 

They could have ended playing with even less players...

PS: Btw, I heard that Ramos applauded the referee...I wonder if he will be punished like Neymar...

 

and Real Madrid with a penalty in favor.

if the video does not show watch the video here
so clear, but once again the referees.

PS Ramos applauded Pique, not the referee.

 

Pique and Ramos, such loving frenemies

If I'm a Madrid fan, I'd worry about slipping against the likes of Celta Vigo... (Celta Vigo happens to have one of the best "American" players ever on loan in Giuseppe Rossi...).

 

Late of 2011/2012 season, Messi offered Mascherano to take penalty but Mascherano rejected it, asking Messi should take it so Messi would score 50 goals.
Well, Mascherano can end his time in Barça now, he has his last contract with Barça until 2019, maybe he'll return to Argentina.

 

IMHO Mascherano has been sort of a burden...so I'll be happy when he leaves...

 

His performance has been decreasing last 2 season but if he leaves this year, Barça would need to sign 2 new CBs because Mathieu will leave too. Yeah, Mathieu needs to leave he's been awful. Barça could get paid if Mascherano leaves before his contract expires in 2019.

BTW, @barcastuff_real is suspended?

 

Meanwhile, the Catalan Derby looks like a tasty fixture... especially since Luis Enrique and Quique Sanchez "Dr. House" Flores hate each other

See, Dr. House

 

It isn't a matter of these last years. Mascherano is a good player, but he has played too many times as a defender. Comparisons are odious, but I can't help believing that if we had had Ramos, Godin or any other good defender instead, these last seven years we would have won everything...

 

Xavi wins a tropy as a player of Al Sadd.

I'm waiting for him to retire and then he takes coaching course to become future coach of Barça.

 

Road to Cardiff

Just another great day in the history of this great team.
PS. goals of CR7 in UCL 103, goals of Atletico in all their history in UCL 100 lol

 

For me the best team of this season is Chelsea. Too bad they aren't on UCL. Juventus are the 2nd.

 

Real Madrid could defeat Chelsea without any problem.

 

Like Barca kill Madrid in their last el classico lol

For me it's Juventus
I can't believe i say this but Juventus this year remind me of Inter Milan when they got treble winner in 2010..damn it
