Javi Varas once saved it all, even a Messi penalty on the last second in 11-12. But I have never seen such a superb performance by an adversary’s GK at the Camp Nou. 

The man saved what? 8? 10 clear chances? Saw the ball hitting the post THREE TIMES?!

Stopped several one-on-ones against Messi and Neymar?

Superb. One of the best GK performances of all time. Certainly one to remember. 

As was this match. Our best yet under Lucho, who read Pellegrini’s weaknesses perfectly. If not for Hart’s stopping (pun intended) this could have been a 7-8×0 thrashing. 

City created almost no danger. Our only weakness at the back was named Mathieu. Seemed scared of Yaya and his passing remain atrocious. 

And Messi had again a superb, unique match. But again had Hart to get on his way. Could have scored 3 today against a normal human being as a GK. 

But this match was all Hart’s. Our performance is noteworthy, however, and this Messi is the best we have ever had. We are in a for some more God like performances. 

The future does look bright. 

Here’s my breakdown of the match:

4min: Alba x Nasri. Dumb Alba. 

6min. Neymar change. Good Alves press. 

7min. Fluffed counter. Messi great. 

10: Neymar-Messi-Iniesta-Messi shot. Good Hart save. 

12: Mathieu cant handle Yaya and Alves blocks Milner. Dangerous.

15: Great Messi FK. A bit high. 

27: Another FK very close from Messi. 

31: Superb Messi assist and Rakitic lobs Hart. GOLAZO. Messi owned Kolarov and Milner just by knowing how to hold on to the ball. 

37: Messi has decided to break the record for most nutmegs, apparently. And Guardiola loved it. 

40: The Best Messi of all time. Jawdropping. He glides all over the pitch, megs everyone and see passing lanes that belong on the 5th Dimension. 

43: Second post hit. Suarez, from a great through ball from Neymar. 

1st Half. Dominance. With this Messi, we will always prevail. He managed to achieve the impossible: be even better than he was in 12-13. 

And to those who said Pep would come as an enemy, how can you see an enemy at a man who is watching the club of his life, on his soci seat, besides his best friend and his parents?

The man loves this club. The fact he was driven away does not make him less of a culer. 

2nd half:

47: Anoter superb Messi pass, but Alba cant convert it. 

62: Superb Neymar-Messi-Suarez linkup, but Suarez shoots wide. Great play. 

68: Mathieu x Yaya. The French lost ALL challenges. How could possibly Bartra do worse??

77: Aguero is really a good friend of Messi. Missed the penalty. 

Will he get as attacked by English media as Messi was in February?

78-92. Joe fucking Hart. What the
