Great block from Curtis Nelson.

I miss that. Growing up it was the only way I could watch it as we never had sky. They always showed Utd too so my early CL memories are watching Utd and hoping they lose to all these foreign teams.

I remember how great our 2006 run was...

Seeing the likes of Ronaldo and Zidane visit Highbury before we left it, the passing of the torch game of Vieira v Fabregas...even today is 10 years since Wilshere v that great Barcelona team.

Everything is just kinda meh now.

Don’t know if you can say that Xavi is pushing some racist views, sounds more snobbish if anything. We are technical and you are pace/power.

 

[carlito'sway]

If he can do it in the World Cup and the CL then I have no doubt he can do it in a bigger league. What he has translates anywhere. He'll be at Madrid soon enough anyway.

Why would Mbappe he go to Madrid when he is playing with the likes of Neymar, Veratti, Kimpenbe, Marquinos and Paredes? This team is arguably better than Real. Even Navas is a better keeper than Courtois.
By the way, it seems he is about to extend at PSG.

Pogba is really technical though. If anything I feel like physicality isn’t one of his strengths.

He carries the ball, passes and shoots well. That’s all technicality.

Xavi just sees a black midfielder and thinks they’re all the same.

Well said. The day of those corrupt behemoths Barcelona and Real madrid is over, let others take the baton.

Strong rumors that Messi is coming to PSG as well

Remember watching Del Piero for the first time and being amazed, different styles but he gave you R9 excitement.

Because it's his dream. He may well extend but he'll go there one day. He's still so young, even if he stays at Paris for another 3-4 years he'll be in his prime and Madrid will have rebuilt.

If Messi had any guts he would go to West Brom and keep Fat Sam up.

 

[Notorious Big]

The full quote is even better:
Mbappé will be one of the cracks of tomorrow. But I find him more physical than talented, like Pogba I think, even if I have not seen him play this season", Xavi said.

Guy should post on A-M with that kind of insight

When he complained about high grass against Atletico. Guy's unreal

I think Pep extended for 2 years just to try and win the CL, Messi might be part of those plans I suspect.

I remember watching him and Nedved tear the Madrid Galacticos apart in 2003, Davids was in that team too...wonderful side.

Is is bias, or where players just more magical back then?

 

[bingobob]

Barcelona remind me of us when we became the team others liked to play against. Big game against a big team but one you expect to win. Its ****ing great to see them like this.

Messi’s going to PSG mate

 

[Trilly]

Which we are you talking about? Believe me what City do, don't affect us whatsoever.

True!:rofl:

There were more ballers, Mavericks and fun players back then, game has changed and it’s all 6ft robots now.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Florentino Perez trending on twitter i bet these Real Madrid are starving after Mbappe performance today.

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

Messi would be lucky to make the PSG starting XI.

 

[Riou]

I would much prefer to have Mbappe now over Messi, he's the most exciting player to watch in the world for me.
