Messi 4 goals Vs Arsenal - UCL Quarter finals 2010

[ashybline]

@Hydro2oo9 When did I say footy don't exist outside the Prem? Barca and Madrid are yes two very quality teams, but as for the other 18 in their league lol. The prem is just a more physical league and it would be tougher for Messi, not saying he wouldnt be quality in the league, just that it would be tougher.

[Scudeyyy]

@Hydro2oo9 None of them (those ex players) said Barcelona would win the PL. La Liga is much easier than the PL. Barcelona would struggle. Anyways even us (Arsenal) could beat them at home so...

And Andy Gray doesnt only watch the PL since hes commentating on this CL match. duh?! Messi might be the best player in the world but teams like Stoke will be tough to beat week in week out. Teams like Villareal will struggle to get into the top 10 of the PL.

[ashybline]

@Scudeyyy Totally agree with you, but idiots who only watch a two-team league (La Liga) are obviously gonna assume its the best because Messi plays in it and destroys it, not that its too hard for him.

[TommyLeeAllan]

Barca are the best team in HISTORY, and ronaldo is good but Messi is better, no doubt

[muhdel]

this man is just unstoppable

[09qais]

MESSI IS SICKKK!!!

[TheTrucutruc]

q pran es messi se la comio 4 goles

[sonicbeam786]

@Hydro2oo9 lol am not saying all this im saying what andy gray said, i personally think barcelona is the best atm...also i think sometimes the revista de la liga are a little biased you know when they say spanish league is the best...i think there is no doubt english league is best...and if someone says they've got barcelona and madrid , they should know a league consists of 20 teams and not 2. To be honest sky sports doesn't really play them down most of them said barca is best team in europe.

[sonicbeam786]

barcelona are obviously a better team than most premierleague teams the point is that they are not tested enough in the spanish league and if you think they are you seriously need to watch the spanish league, barcelona can outplay any team in the world though its just saying that they are not tested in the spanish league that is the point andy gray made if you heard it on skysports.

[WrestlingMega]

Barcelona are gonna absolutely kill arsenal

[afridette]

Messi is the BEST!

[ttrelph]

couldn't believe the defending... ridiculous. Cannot wait for the next round this year, Arsenal need to up their defending if they want to stand a chance though.

[xCHiLL3D]

@Hydro2oo9 another point is that if u try and play football against barca u just wont win because they are just so good at keeping the ball, look at Arsenal last season and real this, u simply have to be more defensive against barca to get a result

[Hydro2oo9]

@xCHiLL3D I know, that's why I said if henry got that penalty it will have forced chelsea to attack which would have played into barcas hands. the pens were all debateable imo. But ye chelsea were unlucky defo.

[xCHiLL3D]

@Hydro2oo9 fair enough

[xCHiLL3D]

@Hydro2oo9 i respect what your saying everyone knows bacra are the best team in the world but on that night Chelsea were really unlucky not to go through imo

[jijakyu]

cunt

[SlimCharlesthe2nd]

Why is Andy Gray so reserved with any praise for Messi? He makes more noise about Arsenal being unlucky for the first two goals, nevermind the great finishes. An when Messi gets the brilliant hat-rick he literally doesnt say a thing for ages and then offers meekly, 'the noise and pictures say more than I could'. If thats the case what the fuck are you being paid for? correction was being paid lol, so glad he got fired. Ignorant wanker who thinks the footablling world revolves around the EPL

[djmoindahouse]

@Hydro2oo9 chelsea and united did attack. they just didnt attack as much as barca. what kind of football do u know? have you just been concentrating on barca the whole game?. ffs please watch the two games again. barca is the best we know that but please look at the game from a neutral point of view

[Hydro2oo9]

@djmoindahouse United attacked for the first 15 mins, then after that they got passed to pieces. Chelsea played 10 men behind the ball and looked for pens all game. That was a victory for football that one!

[djmoindahouse]

@Hydro2oo9 haha very funny

[xCHiLL3D]

@Hydro2oo9 they didnt look for pens, they should have had a few pens to say the least

[djmoindahouse]

@Hydro2oo9 barca is the best at the moment but dont over hype them. they cannot destroy chelsea or man u. the worst they have done is 2-0 in the final against man u. and iniesta scored a last minute on chelsea just like in the world cup against holland. last time i checked thats not being destroyed. real madrid does not have team chemistry this is why barca won 5-0

[Hydro2oo9]

@djmoindahouse Im not saying the side can't be stopped mate. but the style of football isn't seen in the prem and has never been seen in the prem. It's not been seen anywhere really infact, Not since the cruijff dream team, the old skool holland and brasil teams. That's all I'm saying.

[znixxs66]

Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal all destroyed by Barça they would kill the premier league imagine if they did a tour of england. Barca would run rings around people like bent and crouch and odemwingie. They use Tiki-Taka passing..... Not just rushing forward everytime they get the ball

Visca Barça!!!!!

[djmoindahouse]

@znixxs66 bullshit

[malekai777]

spanish commentattors just dont have the verbal capacity to comment on messi

What Messi does is just pure genius and artistic what C.Ronaldo does is just product of constant training he is a good player but u just cant compare him against messi he is the best player in the world and off all time From SA

[Kingding6]

Anyone heard Andy Gray's recent comments? Says that Messi and barcelona would struggle immensly in the EPL....what a crock.

[sonicbeam786]

@Kingding6 what he meant by that was because barcelona play football as in the passing game, if they got put against one of the teams in england who play long balls and are physically strong e.g. stoke or blackburn they would struggle because they have small players, also if you try play the passing game against barca you will surely fail.

[Kingding6]

@sonicbeam786 I don't buy that for a second. Long balls would go to Pique and Puyol, who are def not small. The statement was just ridiculous.

[sonicbeam786]

@Kingding6 am just saying, and if you didn't know barcelona are one the shortest teams in europe it was shown on sky sports, and too what you said that is not ridiculous puyol is like 5ft 10 and pique above 6 ft where as stoke have a lot of footballers over 6 ft so it isn't ridiculous haven't you seen stoke play it will take more than pique and puyol to deal with those long balls and throws from delap, seriously you think two centre backs can deal with like 6-7 players in a match seriously.

[Kingding6]

@sonicbeam786 Mate...are you really going to try and tell me that because Stoke or whoever will punt the ball up the pitch, that Barcelona will lose the game because of that? Barcelona is the best team on the planet, and one of the best teams in the history of the game. How is a long ball going to trouble Barcelona if Stoke never has the ball?

[sonicbeam786]

@Kingding6 your right there mate no doubt one of the best teams ever, am not arguing that case am just saying what andy gray said and your right its sometimes impossible to get the ball from them, andy gray was saying that can barca cope with the physical side of it because most of their outfield players are really small, i hope you understand what am trying to say; because barca love to play and no-one can outplay them.

[MrStallionHAN]

@Kingding6 he would struggle in the prem league it is far superior than the spanish league and without Xavi, Iniesta & David Villa, Messi would be nowhere

[Scudeyyy]

@Kingding6 But they would? I cant imagine Barcelona beating Stoke tbh with the way Stoke play + get away with it.

[Kingding6]

@Scudeyyy are you mental?

[Scudeyyy]

@Kingding6 Stoke would fuck the shit out of Messi's legs. You are mental, yes Barca should win but it would be closer than most would think it would be. Gray is a football expert, his opinion is more trustworthy than yours. In La Liga refs prevent any sort of major contact by constantly stopping play if there is contact. In the PL, Stoke can barge Barca out of the way and get away with it. Look what happened to Aaron Ramsey.

[Kingding6]

@Scudeyyy Man, have you not seen Messi and Barca absolutley demolish every single premier league team they have faced in the CL? And thats the best the premier league have to offer. You don't think Ferdinand and Vidic( vidic being one of the best defenders in the world atm) tried to "fuck messis legs" every time he was near them? Hes just to bloody quick. Anyone who thinks any team from the premier league would give barca a run for their money were shutup when barca beat Man u.

[ashybline]

@Kingding6 When did they destroy Chelsea?

[Kingding6]

@ashybline when they beat them in the cl a few years ago?

[ashybline]

@Kingding6 Lol, you call that destroyed?

[Kingding6]

@ashybline I call it winning, something chelsea hasnt done againt barca in a while

[Wyzzkyd]

Goddamn this vid gives me goosebumps. Fecking legend.

[dannhook]

Absolutely amazing player, my favourite!

Im only 18 but in my opinion, i'd say he's the best player ive seen in my lifetime.

Just hope he continues to improve and stays injury free cos i really enjoy watching him tear teams apart! :D

[United2o11]

All deflected!

Ronaldo > Messi

[LlehctimmitchelL]

@Visvikings101 honestly man just shut the fuck up

[iamboredhoho31]

So calm on the ball, it's crazy.

Still, i'd put 6 past Arsenal if I was given the chance!

[united2oo9]

@Visvikings101 Football? Don't you mean "soccer", you delusional yank? Football is an ENGLISH game, that's a fact.

Funny how you yanks are lovin' the English sport more and more, stick to your baseball.

[bushgayclown]

@united2oo9 Funny English play the worst football nowadays , Brazil is been playing the best football for over 100 years now / it is true that football was created by the British but then Brazil reinvented it
