More of a Trump man?

What a game that was in the second leg of the Copa with Barca and Atleti, it had it all! Three players off including - you'll be pleased to know Stevie - Suarez for an elbow that he doesn't get away with for a change! Two goals disallowed, one correctly for Barca, one unfairly on Griezmann. There was a missed penalty for Atletico as well, and Messi was half an inch away from one of his greatest goals when he rocketed a freekick on the bar from 30 yards out. 1 - 1 on the night it ended, with players and coaches all arguing and pushing each other - great stuff! However, Barca go through to the Final.

Overhead kick from Torres then misses a penalty!

I didn't see the penalty miss, the goal was a beauty though...

It was a fantastic game and the last 15 mins were bonkers. Your boy Griezmann did nothing all game but managed to grab the winner.

Bale scored on his return from injury. I can't wait to see him lift the cup in the Millenium Stadium.

Barca leave it late but get a 2 - 1 win away at Atletico with Messi grabbing another winner. Barca haven't been beaten in the league by Atletico since 2010 strangely!

I've watched only the first half (switched to the League Cup Final at Wembley then), already some good chances on both sides (with great goalkeeper actions from Ter Stegen and Oblak (I've watched the BeIn stream in Kodi and this guy was always gasping when something happened )

I can't stand Atletico so I am fine with this result

The guy gasping if its Bein will be the one, the only, legend that is Ray Hudson!! Best co-commentator in the world

I didn't get to see it as I realised too late that it was already on and about finishing. Hell of a result for Barca that, and with Real slipping up at Valencia the other night, the title isn't decided just yet.

with Real slipping up at Valencia the other night, the title isn't decided just yet.

I'd say Real will most likely win it, they have two matches more to play and if they win both they'll be 4 points ahead.

 

[Super_horns]

Wasn't that one of their games in hand though?

Yep but they unexpectedly lost at Valencia and were 2 - 0 down at Villarreal before staging a comeback. If Barca can keep pace with them (even though they themselves are inconsistent), then its well doable, particularly if they win the Clasico.

Well Madrid lost at home tonight...Bale sent off!

Winning the title won't keep Luis Enrique in the job though..

Well Madrid lost at home tonight...Bale sent off!

Nearly. 1-3 until the 86th minute then 2-times Ronaldo (1 penalty) and they secured a 3-3 draw.

 

[SALTIRE]

Not watched Real Madrid in the league but has anything changed for them in the last few weeks to cause this dip in performance and results?

Enrique announced he is stepping down as Barca coach at the end of the season too; will that galvanise them to push on and get a seemingly unlikely title win?

 

[Super_horns]

Cheers Dirk - never count them out with Ronaldo in the team I guess.

Nasty head injured suffered by Torres tonight - bit like the Ryan Mason incident a few weeks back.

Yeah, it looked very nasty - particularly the way he landed. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looked.

 

[SALTIRE]

Just found out about this, hope the great man isn't out long. Apparently he is stable and conscious in hospital according to Atletico on Twitter so hope all is well.

Torres released from hospital, all good

Good news - looked like it could have ended a lot worse.

Messi doing another Billy Whizz and scoring a goal starting from the halfway line. He's too much.

Good game so far and Celta are playing well too and are a bogey team for Barca.

 

[SALTIRE]

Beautiful second goal with intricate passing, Messi putting Neymar through and he does a cheeky chip over the keeper. They are looking sharp, must be a case of refocusing with Real struggling slightly and Enrique announcing his departure.

 

[epic73]

Any clips?

 

[SALTIRE]

No clips, but Messi was at his sumptuous best tonight, two goals and two assists. 5 - 0 they won in the end.

Barca miss their chance to close the gap on Madrid after losing at Malaga (one eye on the Champions league..?)
