@BSN he's probably just a moron whos a messifan/ronaldohater instead of Barcelona fan, these kids just want to attack and insult other fans instead of enjoying the magic likes of Messi give us each and every week
@ChineseSeniorHigh Many of the greatest players of hte past 50 years have played at Barcelona. Fron Cruyff through Maradona and Ronaldinho to Messi as well as many more. No other club and that includes Real Madrid can match the star power of Barca over that period and that is why the huge number of fans. I say taht as a non Barca fan. I am an Everton fans who loves watching Messi. I comment not because it is Barca but because Messi plays there.
This week's games perfectly illustrate the Messi V Ronaldo difference. Ronaldo a superb header ( the best ever ) and a top class though often wasteful finisher but totally reliant on the team to make the game. He is not able to playmake or create. Messi both maker and taker of goals. The conductor of the orchestra. Ronaldo a superb competitor and athlete. Messi the greatest footballer we have seen and uniquely skilled with the ball at his feet.
@iluveverton The main difference though, is that Atletico is one of two teams in Spain that are still good. Messi being
a 'conductor of the orchestra' is irrelevant in a match like this which could have been easily won without him!
@iluveverton I don't know what you mean with CR's header being the best ever, his best ever or best header you've ever seen? but I could give you 2 much better headers right off the top of my mind: Messi's legendary one in the 2009 UCL final and Suarez's ridiculous long range header in last year's 5-1 El Clasico.
@GioMonaldo I am not talking about individual headers. I am talking about ability to head the ball and score. Ronaldo has impacted game after game with his amazing heading ability. It is his one truly world class attribute. A superb power and timing in the air. With the ball at his feet he doesn't even begin to compare to Messi but in the air he is the master. I say that as anything but a Ronaldo fan. I deeply dislike his on pitch persona.
Ronaldo has played 1 good game the entire season and that's all it takes for his fanboys to call him GOAT. Messi's been having a perfect season, on his way to his THIRD treble(something Ronaldo never did, cause he's performance is not as regular as Messi's throughout the season, playing well only in the champions league - only 13 games of the season in the best scenario)
And what is this nonsense about messi flopping in decisive games? Have you guys forgotten both CL finals against Man Utd, the semifinals against Bayern and Real(Ronaldo surely remembers Messi just dancing through madrid defenders in the BernaLEO). And what about all the other El Classicos he decided, the Copa del Rey finals, that magical goal against Athletic.
Get real. Ronaldo has to put up a sequence of performances like yesterday's to be compared to Messi's season this year.
@alvirus96 You fanboys are so insecure that it's actually ridiculous.. What does Ronaldo have to do with this match? Just shows how obsessed you and your kind are.
I suggest we can call this team VARça as a lot of Spanish people call it nowadays. Turn a simulation (which deserves a yellow card at least) into a penalty is a kind of modern age miracle
With the VAR to validate this fake penalty proves that the VAR is a joke. There is never a penalty in this case what so ever. Do the Barca even corrupt the video referees? What is gonna be the sanction against the video referee anf$d Suarez for his simulation gibven the obvious manipulation?
Messi is the most overrated player of all time. When barcelona is gonna be in a situation with a referee not bought off he will be a ghost as he has always been with Barcelona and Argentina against strong opponents
@jeepyler Ronaldo is the most overrated player of all time. When Messi was a ghost, Barcelona or Argentina lost match, but when Ronaldo was a ghost, His teams wins match, like last UCL semi and final and Euro final 2016. This is the influence :-D
@jeepyler I almost agree with you.
Messi almost always disappears in the big games. You can count with your mere fingers his great performances against big teams especially in CL knockout rounds. Especially after the prime of Iniesta and Xavi. But his talent is unmistakable. There's no need to put down his performance tonight. He was the best on the field.
**Also as a side note, how does Suarez get a better rating than Bernadeschi last night?! This is a joke, right? Lol
@jeepyler You shot your foot. Arguing the performance of one out of 11 players heavily affects the result you implicite his extraordinary value. And there are figures, too. Show me another player in the football history with that average per match number of involvements in goals (scored by his own plus assists and key passes). Finally, if Real, MU, Juve, PSG where not strong opponents in the last decade, who the hell was?
@jeepyler Lol talking about 1 game and 1 tournament like thats his whole career, if u started watching fottball last yea I suggest u watch messi vs bayern 14-15 vs manu 10-11, vs real 10-11 vs arsenal 09-10 and then call him overrated
@jeepyler you don't know his career if you say this kind of BS man....make some effort and check his final games stats, important games stats, El clasico stats even with Ronaldo in Real Madrid etc. The only competition where CR has the upper hand is the UCL, and only in KO stage, and only in last8 stage, since last16 stage Messi still leads ahead of Ronaldo. So WTF are you talking about? UCL KO stage is not the only football competition in the world.
@alien47 Totally know his career. Look at every game Argentina and Barça have been eliminated. Messi was a ghost!
I reckon he always performed well in domestic league or in pool games against Valladolid, Villareal, Donetsk or Santander, etc. Only one important Champiosn league he performed well: against Man U about 10 years ago. DOT
@jeepyler speaking of vaiadolid , the most conceded teams in laliga from messi are the strongest teams that sometimes they kick big clubs out of some competitions like manu , ars and etc . Sevilla , madrid , atltico madrid , valencia and etc , for ronaldo its exactly opposite of that , exactly what u said , vaiadolid , santander and etc . Dont be only bs talk , go wipe ur tears and read a little :)
Ronaldo is GOAT , they said,, my son had toactually had to ask, do you mean goat as in sheep cow goat? coz Messi (they don't play in the same league) , Messi plays against Pele Maradona for a top spot,, Ronaldo against Muller ,,lewandoski for a top Spot,z there's a difference, Ronaldo is the best Messi is the GOAT
@BSN what does that have to do with anything? they're also the one Barca already played against this season and I don't wanna watch that again, I wanna see something new, hopefully Liverpool.
@GioMonaldo I think Barca vs City would have been interesting because City are a much different side compared with 2016, plus the fact that this would be a quarter final. We have avoided each other for the semi's though, so here's hoping for a Barca-City final!
Barcelona can thanks the referee once again with this phantom penalty. Weird that they didn't use the VAR but they used it 10 minutes to check Lyon's goal... ( I'm not a Lyon's fan). AT 1-0 at home with this fake penalty the game was already ripped
the same ppl who claimed lyon were dangerous and could cause an upset are calling them farmers now. theres an expression in my language; after war lots of brave men appear
I'll educate you uncultured people about football.......cr only makes goal for him to be relevant, BUT MESSI.....MESSI......
he dictate the game. he creat build up play and the same time he makes goals......and thas HUUUUUGEEEE different.
but cr stronger??? LOL .......I almost lost count how many cr fall down to easily.
Seems these messi haters have really no debates on messis performance tonight was better ronaldo last night . Its logical tho , ronaldo misunderstood the whole time i guess , if it was a bus stop there should have been some bench inside the goal !!! Am i right guys ?
If only Barca couldsustain the attack they had in the 1st half, They'd be special contenders for not only CL but the treble. More like that and Barca - City could be the most promising final at the Metropolitano.
@DeanO I only watched the second but they were pretty flat until Messi scored the 2nd. What a goal! Other team just gave up after that. A team like City or Liverpool would be very tough because they would pressure the whole time and make Barca pay for their laxness.
@arcglenum Make no mistake city is the most dangerous club hands down. They usualy start with 5 players who can score at will and still maintain midfield stability
let's be honest here, first f**k the spammers in the comment section, second this was an amazing performance by lyonel messi but it still doesn't get to the same level of Ronaldo's brutality yesterday, congrats to barca
but how on earth was that a penalty!!
@BSN It was a cheap penalty, but the defender tried to slide tackle inside his box for the ball and totally missed it. Suarez had control of the ball and would have crossed if not for that foul. I still think it's too harsh to charge a penalty for it since it wasn't even a shot, but it was in the box and those are our rules for now.
@BSN He couldn't have stepped on his foot if the defender didn't try to slide tackle him first. If he got the ball then fine, it's clean, but he totally missed it. Suarez did exaggerate it b/c he's a pro diver, but the foul is still there. He should have just marked him for the cross, but he had to go for the tackle and did it very poorly.
i am gonna answer all you clowns once and for all, first i consider messi better footballing wise than ronaldo so calling me a ronaldo fanboy is just you guys trying to put me as a messi hater just to justify me saying that ronaldo did better, second yes ronaldo 3 goals were better than 2 goals 2 assists of messi because those goals were against atletico a much better side than Lyon and he made a comeback after loosing 2-0 against a team that conceded just 2 goals in 7 games before that game, third you @GioMonaldo don't even know the difference between a header and a tap-in so STFU, forth @batamerah yes goals come from teammates have you ever watched football before? messi first goal is a penalty from a suarez dive and second is an assist from busquets, fifth if ronaldo's headers are so easy why doesn't anyone else do it like him
Bernardeschi's penalty came after a push whether it was hard enough or not it was there, suarez's penalty came after him fouling the defender for God's sake
@BSN What the hell do you think a tap-in is anyway? CR's first goal was a tap-in, second one I'll concede was better so it's not a tap-in. Which means we're left with: Messi's solo goal is still better than either of CR's headers and same thing for his two superb assists.
@GioMonaldo oh GOD! A tap in is a simple shot into the goal from close range, and without opposition. ronaldo had defenders around him in both headers plus the goalkeeper was well positioned, i hope you learned something new here
@BSN You're totally right on Ronaldo's headers not being tap-ins, the second in particular was very difficult to do and he deserves all the credit for that. But Messi's 2nd goal was not just Busquet's assist, it was all Messi. He made not 1 but 2 defenders fall on the floor and then scored. Who else does that? I've only seen Neymar and Salah do things like that.
@BSN I agree with you...but there were a lot of other details in both games. Ronaldo running over Juanfran for first goal was ok (No VAR), but Moratas goal in first leg when touching Chiellini who dived like an idiot wasn't ok (VAR)? The penalty on Bernadeschi, I can live with that (VAR), but Chiellini fauled in last minutes of the game with brutal contact and nothing happened, no VAR. And the penalty today on Suarez, yep, very cheap....however, noticed the goal Lyon scored and the Lyon player receiving the cross holding Lenglet (no foul). The tackle on Messi (same guy who went to contact with Suarez), could have been a penalty, there was contact before he hit the ball, no VAR. etc. etc. For me a ridiculous pass Messi found Pique with is more than a goal, pure magic...yep, Ronaldo scored goals, but Messi invented new ways leading to goals once again. Looking forward to quarter finals :)
@alien47 Glad I'm not the only one who noticed Chiellini's Hockey-style body check. Maybe VAR is going to become something where a team has to request it to challenge a play/decision and they only get 1 per half or something like that. If the folks arbitrating PSG vs ManU were at Turin they would have certainly given a penalty for that one. There's just no consistency, even in the same game.
@BSN CR7 had an amazing night and whoever said those goals were tap ins is a fool. However... Messis tonight performance was unreal and miles ahead, u have to be blind to see that. Anyways i do not see why u have to compare them? Ronaldos goals were more important and needed but messi had a better performance overall by anyones standards
@k.1 i respect your opinion mate but having more passes doesn't make this performance any better, there's something special to it and ronaldo had that with him this time
@BSN Sigh, 2G2A and people still think it's not as good as 3G, it goes to show how much YOU expect from Messi, it's like the biggest compliment from you and you don't even realise it.
@BSN Let's be brutally honest here: Messi's panenka penalty was better than CR's, his solo goal is better than either of CR's tap-ins and his TWO ASSISTS are much much better than either of his tap-ins. There you have it, an actual argument.
@BSN Ronaldo brutal?? LOL Ronaldo literally get goal from his team mates LOL...... BUT MESSI almost create anything from Barca's goals. 2 goal 2 assist man...........why people only see only lil bit part of football game this days??
@BSN you are actually dumb or ronaldo fanboy, probably both, as they are all dumb. ronaldo scored 2 headers and penalty, while messi scores penalty, insane solo goal and gave 2 assits and you say ronaldo had a better game. also the jeventus penalty was even more questionable, so stfu with your 0 logic typical ronaldo fanboy. thanks
@BSN Ronaldo brutal?? LOL Ronaldo literally get goal from his team mates LOL...... BUT MESSI almost create anything from Barca's goals. 2 goal 2 assist man...........why people only see only lil bit part of football game this days??
People are so dumb, they are literally feeding the troll, giving him exactly what he wants, he's drawing the immature side of you out, that's a no no, and on top of that, you let him spoil the discussion of yet another monster performance by Messi.
Don't fall for such an obvious bait, let him feel stupid about himself.
@Feeherii I disagree about that bc I'm a huge supporter of free speech, but I think there should be some kind of limit on how many comments someone can post in a short amount of time. That would stop cretins like him from ruining these comment sections.
@GioMonaldo - Free speech for its own sake isn't a virtue. It's a virtue when you can use it to create something, a better future than what was before it. And trolling, destroying intelligent discussion and inciting hatred isn't that.
@andrew7taylor Trolling can be a lot of fun. I do it sometimes. Nothing wrong with a little dose of trolling as long as it's within reasonable amounts.
Can we get flopessi banned? Im new to the site so idk but he obviously has some mental health problems and is delusional and spams this comment section so hard I can barely open this page
C'mon bro! another perfect 10 from the GOAT? goddamn it feels good to be a supporter of the greatest club in the world. The Treble dream is alive and well. Also, another record broken by Barcelona: they are the first club in UCL history to reach the quarter finals in 12 consecutive seasons. Visca Barca!
Folks by the way....2 weeks ago
Marcelo: Messi isn't that good
Today
I don't know how to stop him(dives like it was best way to demonstration his idiocy)
messi made up the game as usual, the playmaker.......... while CRy always wait for someone else to feed him up so that he could TAP-IN!!! so, plz don't compare messi with that TAP-IN scorer.
Ronaldo who ? They make chance for him but theres a player who runs the whole game on his finger , what an amazing game from messi !!!!! What a solo run and goal ! Wow !
@Salazarchokhof Some respect for Ronaldo, but Messi was tooooo better today with nice dribbling, magic passing, genius playmaking and pure genius goals than Ronaldo with two goals from 1 meter and goal from penalty yesterday :-D
i send all my respect to Ronaldo marketing team, they believe with lot of idiots that MOFO is better than Messi, i still cant stop laughing...1. Messi....2. drunk Messi....3. high Messi
that was a fool on Suarez, not a penalty for him, btw why so much comments here?! Bayern vs Liverpool is wayyyy better game than this stupid one, also one point, Messibottleda4_1lead obviously is john2james and he likes his own comments, fangirls ruined whoscored.
so far much better first half from Messi than Penaldo yesterday, passing, creativity, through balls, not a tipy tapy poacher, who waits the ball all day long inside the box to score tap ins
Not suggesting he isn't great but is anyone else worried about how often and easily Messi gets dispossessed now? He should release the ball more now he's not quite as quick.
Antonin Panenka is a legend and will allways be. His crazy winning penalty in the shootout against West Germany in the Euro 1976 is remembered by all great players - and today Messi was the perfect copycat ...
Says all about Messi that CR fanboys will see this match which is way less prestigous than Bayern-Pool because of Messi. He caused so deep trauma in the last 9 years until his CR destroying time.
@Pastore10 Even penaldians love to watch the GOAT bc unlike their idol, Messi doesn't wait in the box for penaltap-ins™. He's entertaining to watch even when he doesn't score.
the best answer is : they are both superd players , Messi is more talented and Ronaldo have more body power and more Strength of Personality, he is like a machine
@Cannavaro69 numbers don't lie,,let's check who whoscored thinks over the last decade or so,,,then check who has goals,,assists ,,key passes,,dribbles,,,pass accuracy,,creates chances,,,and get more touches to influence the game... then after that,, will see... oh I jus dd for the last decade whoscored says Ronaldo was not better than Messi in any season (individually) but his team dd win major honors,,,and oh they score the same number of Goals,,Messi assists more,,dribbles more,,creates more,,gives more key passes ,, influences more... individually tho,,,but this is a team sport
@Cannavaro69 one is better in pure football abilities (messi) the other is a full package (ronaldo) its hard to say who but for me it was ronaldo before 2009 and ronaldo after 2014
Cr and penalties? missed in Euro, in WC (cost Portugal an easy route to the final, no Eder no party), missed 2times in UCL semi, and missed in UCL final...the legendary penalty taker,...half of his misses were under pressure (from cca. 10-15),simply he doesnt take it, and the other 5 without pressure from more han 100 penalties
See u "Messi mentally fragile little kid" haters after the game and I hope barca will draw against juve, just so messi can remind u how it feels to be beaten by the GOAT
Valverde you didn't inderstood yet that Coutinho can't give 100% of his performance when playing as a winger , his original position is AM , how many matches do you need to understand that !! Oh My God , he is so Idiot , someone who accept to sign prince Boateng can't be blamed , he is totaly fool :D
Barcelona have won all four matches since being held to a goalless draw by Lyon in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie and should be home bankers to extend that sequence. Barca have scored 11 goals in those four matches, although Lyon have shown enough in taking four group-stage points off Manchester City to suggest it could be a thriller.
Barcelona have won the home leg in their last 11 ties at the last-16 stage.Barca have scored 11 goals in those four matches, although Lyon have shown enough in taking four group-stage points off Manchester City.
"a goalless draw would see the French side progress to the next round" How can this be possible that a goalless draw sees Lyon through when the first leg was 0-0?
@Lapulga uefalona doesnt agree ;)))) remember steal vs chelsea in final? remember stealing with referee aytekin vs psg two years ago?? do u want more? i can name 100 more situations no problem?
Everyone on social media is saying Arthur had a great game (99% pass accuracy!) but you wouldn't know it looking at these ratings.
Messi has now 36 goals and 20 assists in 36 games. And it's only march!
@Davisson He has 18 assists, bro! 8 more than CR. Get it right
@GioMonaldo like why did you even mention ronaldo there?
@BSN he's probably just a moron whos a messifan/ronaldohater instead of Barcelona fan, these kids just want to attack and insult other fans instead of enjoying the magic likes of Messi give us each and every week
@BSN What planet are you from? the one where no one knows what a tap-in is? Messi - CR is the biggest rivalry between players on our planet.
@BSN pot calling kettle black as usual.
@Davisson If the voting for Ballon d'Or was this week he would win it by a mile. He wins it unless injury intervenes.
Why are there more fans of Barca than that of Liverpool and Bayern combined.... That's beyond me.
@ChineseSeniorHigh Many are probably just Messi fans who only kinda support Barca.
@ChineseSeniorHigh Many of the greatest players of hte past 50 years have played at Barcelona. Fron Cruyff through Maradona and Ronaldinho to Messi as well as many more.

@gamerater i should frame this comment :)
@gamerater wtf did i just read!!
Chances are Barca is gonna get an English team in the quarters bc there's four of 'em, I pray it's not Tottenham.
@GioMonaldo what! they're the weakest one
@BSN what does that have to do with anything? they're also the one Barca already played against this season and I don't wanna watch that again, I wanna see something new, hopefully Liverpool.
@GioMonaldo oh i get it
@GioMonaldo man city is better opponent
@pasopati Yes, City are better but I've already seen Barca vs City in 2016 group stage. I have never seen Barca vs Liver.
@GioMonaldo I think Barca vs City would have been interesting because City are a much different side compared with 2016, plus the fact that this would be a quarter final. We have avoided each other for the semi's though, so here's hoping for a Barca-City final!
It's great that Flopessi was deleted now do john2james, pastors and all those losers
@dSquib john too salty , definitely a ban is in order
Barcelona can thanks the referee once again with this phantom penalty. Weird that they didn't use the VAR but they used it 10 minutes to check Lyon's goal... ( I'm not a Lyon's fan). AT 1-0 at home with this fake penalty the game was already ripped
@jeepyler yep, you right....same with chiellini foul on cornea. Why they didn't use var??
@jeepyler ikr, but i believe barca would've won anyway
@BSN maybe but this changed a lot the fate of the game. Should not happen in VAR times
the same ppl who claimed lyon were dangerous and could cause an upset are calling them farmers now. theres an expression in my language; after war lots of brave men appear
@Icarax this comment just sums it up
Congrats to Barcelona, Messi is GOAT, Treble loading, Ballon dor loading...
I'll educate you uncultured people about football.......cr only makes goal for him to be relevant, BUT MESSI.....MESSI...... he dictate the game. he creat build up play and the same time he makes goals......and thas HUUUUUGEEEE different. but cr stronger??? LOL .......I almost lost count how many cr fall down to easily.
Seems these messi haters have really no debates on messis performance tonight was better ronaldo last night . Its logical tho , ronaldo misunderstood the whole time i guess , if it was a bus stop there should have been some bench inside the goal !!! Am i right guys ?
If only Barca couldsustain the attack they had in the 1st half, They'd be special contenders for not only CL but the treble. More like that and Barca - City could be the most promising final at the Metropolitano.

@arcglenum Make no mistake city is the most dangerous club hands down. They usualy start with 5 players who can score at will and still maintain midfield stability
@k.1 They are not even at their best compared to last season. In case you can't read.
let's be honest here, first f**k the spammers in the comment section, second this was an amazing performance by lyonel messi but it still doesn't get to the same level of Ronaldo's brutality yesterday, congrats to barca but how on earth was that a penalty!!
@BSN It was a cheap penalty, but the defender tried to slide tackle inside his box for the ball and totally missed it. Suarez had control of the ball and would have crossed if not for that foul. I still think it's too harsh to charge a penalty for it since it wasn't even a shot, but it was in the box and those are our rules for now.
@tkr mate suarez stepped on the defender's foot it really can't be given in any univers without VAR
@BSN He couldn't have stepped on his foot if the defender didn't try to slide tackle him first. If he got the ball then fine, it's clean, but he totally missed it. Suarez did exaggerate it b/c he's a pro diver, but the foul is still there. He should have just marked him for the cross, but he had to go for the tackle and did it very poorly.
i am gonna answer all you clowns once and for all, first i consider messi better footballing wise than ronaldo so calling me a ronaldo fanboy is just you guys trying to put me as a messi hater just to justify me saying that ronaldo did better, second yes ronaldo 3 goals were better than 2 goals 2 assists of messi because those goals were against atletico a much better side than Lyon and he made a comeback after loosing 2-0 against a team that conceded just 2 goals in 7 games before that game, third you @GioMonaldo don't even know the difference between a header and a tap-in so STFU, forth @batamerah yes goals come from teammates have you ever watched football before? messi first goal is a penalty from a suarez dive and second is an assist from busquets, fifth if ronaldo's headers are so easy why doesn't anyone else do it like him Bernardeschi's penalty came after a push whether it was hard enough or not it was there, suarez's penalty came after him fouling the defender for God's sake
@BSN What the hell do you think a tap-in is anyway? CR's first goal was a tap-in, second one I'll concede was better so it's not a tap-in. Which means we're left with: Messi's solo goal is still better than either of CR's headers and same thing for his two superb assists.
@GioMonaldo oh GOD! A tap in is a simple shot into the goal from close range, and without opposition. ronaldo had defenders around him in both headers plus the goalkeeper was well positioned, i hope you learned something new here
@BSN You're totally right on Ronaldo's headers not being tap-ins, the second in particular was very difficult to do and he deserves all the credit for that. But Messi's 2nd goal was not just Busquet's assist, it was all Messi. He made not 1 but 2 defenders fall on the floor and then scored. Who else does that? I've only seen Neymar and Salah do things like that.
@tkr seriously mate? it was a great goal but hundreds of other players did that before not just Neymar and Salah?
@BSN I agree with you...but there were a lot of other details in both games. Ronaldo running over Juanfran for first goal was ok (No VAR), but Moratas goal in first leg when touching Chiellini who dived like an idiot wasn't ok (VAR)? The penalty on Bernadeschi, I can live with that (VAR), but Chiellini fauled in last minutes of the game with brutal contact and nothing happened, no VAR. And the penalty today on Suarez, yep, very cheap....however, noticed the goal Lyon scored and the Lyon player receiving the cross holding Lenglet (no foul). The tackle on Messi (same guy who went to contact with Suarez), could have been a penalty, there was contact before he hit the ball, no VAR. etc. etc. For me a ridiculous pass Messi found Pique with is more than a goal, pure magic...yep, Ronaldo scored goals, but Messi invented new ways leading to goals once again. Looking forward to quarter finals :)
@alien47 Glad I'm not the only one who noticed Chiellini's Hockey-style body check. Maybe VAR is going to become something where a team has to request it to challenge a play/decision and they only get 1 per half or something like that. If the folks arbitrating PSG vs ManU were at Turin they would have certainly given a penalty for that one. There's just no consistency, even in the same game.
@BSN CR7 had an amazing night and whoever said those goals were tap ins is a fool. However... Messis tonight performance was unreal and miles ahead, u have to be blind to see that. Anyways i do not see why u have to compare them? Ronaldos goals were more important and needed but messi had a better performance overall by anyones standards
@k.1 i respect your opinion mate but having more passes doesn't make this performance any better, there's something special to it and ronaldo had that with him this time
@BSN Sigh, 2G2A and people still think it's not as good as 3G, it goes to show how much YOU expect from Messi, it's like the biggest compliment from you and you don't even realise it.
@BSN Let's be brutally honest here: Messi's panenka penalty was better than CR's, his solo goal is better than either of CR's tap-ins and his TWO ASSISTS are much much better than either of his tap-ins. There you have it, an actual argument.
@BSN What? Did you watch the game?
@BSN Ronaldo brutal?? LOL Ronaldo literally get goal from his team mates LOL...... BUT MESSI almost create anything from Barca's goals. 2 goal 2 assist man...........why people only see only lil bit part of football game this days??
@BSN you are actually dumb or ronaldo fanboy, probably both, as they are all dumb. ronaldo scored 2 headers and penalty, while messi scores penalty, insane solo goal and gave 2 assits and you say ronaldo had a better game. also the jeventus penalty was even more questionable, so stfu with your 0 logic typical ronaldo fanboy. thanks
@BSN Ronaldo brutal?? LOL Ronaldo literally get goal from his team mates LOL...... BUT MESSI almost create anything from Barca's goals. 2 goal 2 assist man...........why people only see only lil bit part of football game this days??
Question to @FLOPessi ; Are you Penaldooo who will not be able to sleep today:))))
People are so dumb, they are literally feeding the troll, giving him exactly what he wants, he's drawing the immature side of you out, that's a no no, and on top of that, you let him spoil the discussion of yet another monster performance by Messi. Don't fall for such an obvious bait, let him feel stupid about himself.
@arcglenum I think he's mentally ill. Trolling is one thing but spamming the same comment like that, he needs professional help.
@GioMonaldo surely has to be. This guys ip address needs to be banned from the site
@Feeherii I disagree about that bc I'm a huge supporter of free speech, but I think there should be some kind of limit on how many comments someone can post in a short amount of time. That would stop cretins like him from ruining these comment sections.
@GioMonaldo - Free speech for its own sake isn't a virtue. It's a virtue when you can use it to create something, a better future than what was before it. And trolling, destroying intelligent discussion and inciting hatred isn't that.
@andrew7taylor Trolling can be a lot of fun. I do it sometimes. Nothing wrong with a little dose of trolling as long as it's within reasonable amounts.
@GioMonaldo well what this guy doing isnt exactly free speech now is it
Can we get flopessi banned? Im new to the site so idk but he obviously has some mental health problems and is delusional and spams this comment section so hard I can barely open this page
@Feeherii simply report him
Hahahahhahaha keep spamming boy..
@mystic34x i think he's banned lol
Fantastic performance by messi. 2 goals 2 assist against farmers team. He will choke in the biggest stage next round like always
@LapuIga Young boys Bern supporters are still laughing

C'mon bro! another perfect 10 from the GOAT? goddamn it feels good to be a supporter of the greatest club in the world. The Treble dream is alive and well. Also, another record broken by Barcelona: they are the first club in UCL history to reach the quarter finals in 12 consecutive seasons. Visca Barca!
@GioMonaldo treble is coming soon...
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA what a looser
Wow great performance by messi against small team from farmers league like always
@ProudUefaLona you triggered LOL get a life LOL
Folks by the way....2 weeks ago Marcelo: Messi isn't that good Today I don't know how to stop him(dives like it was best way to demonstration his idiocy)
Nice win, nice goals, nice game, Messi is MOTM and GOAT as always, Treble loading.... Ballon d´Or loading...
Messi has got a perfect 10.0 in three UCL matches so far this season.
The GOAT (Messi) again show off, not like someone once in a year :))
messi made up the game as usual, the playmaker.......... while CRy always wait for someone else to feed him up so that he could TAP-IN!!! so, plz don't compare messi with that TAP-IN scorer.
Ronaldo who ? They make chance for him but theres a player who runs the whole game on his finger , what an amazing game from messi !!!!! What a solo run and goal ! Wow !
@Salazarchokhof Some respect for Ronaldo, but Messi was tooooo better today with nice dribbling, magic passing, genius playmaking and pure genius goals than Ronaldo with two goals from 1 meter and goal from penalty yesterday :-D
@Salazarchokhof Messi football genius, Ronaldo only goalscoring genius?
i send all my respect to Ronaldo marketing team, they believe with lot of idiots that MOFO is better than Messi, i still cant stop laughing...1. Messi....2. drunk Messi....3. high Messi
@Pastore10 respectable rating bro :)
Wow, utter domination.
GOAT again ! Ronaldo scores 3 and one day later Messi has 4 scorer points ... Pure class
playmaker, goalscorer, dribbler, artist, goat.
Lol Messi has 10 rating :-D @FLOPessi doesn't sleep today :-D
Lol Messi has 10 rating :-D @FLOPessi doesn't sleep today :-D
And Messi tops Ronaldo once again!
@Hollins625 ronaldo tries to get tan for his fans to be a better and more lovely model for them but as always theres messi
@Hollins625 this was a great performance by messi indeed but how the hell did it top ronaldo's Beast mode solo comeback ??
@Hollins625 When was Ronaldo above Messi? :-D
What a goal by Messi!
@Davisson are you daydreaming?
@Davisson Easy tapin from one meter.... @FLOPessi logic :-D
Messi is totally useless in big game as always.... :-D and nice goal Piqué
Boooooooooooo easy goal from tapin....
fekir scored. not tousart
Fekir to Madrid
Barca too strong.
@MathCatsFootball in your dreams
that was a fool on Suarez, not a penalty for him, btw why so much comments here?! Bayern vs Liverpool is wayyyy better game than this stupid one, also one point, Messibottleda4_1lead obviously is john2james and he likes his own comments, fangirls ruined whoscored.
Messi scored a goal of 18 minutes and not 17
Uefalona strikes again
@flephmang Who are Uefalona? Who are you? Do you really think all you see is just a conspiracy?
I dont know how dumb(payed) a ref have to be togive penalty for suares dive.After all he is second in diving only to neymar.
@svetoslav Juventus got a penalty after a dive but nobody cares. kek
@svetoslav Suarez could not be second when you have ronaldo who is great at it.
this Lyon ofc
brw this City beat Manchester City, and Real destroyed the worst Atletico in the Simeone era with ease three weaks ago
so far much better first half from Messi than Penaldo yesterday, passing, creativity, through balls, not a tipy tapy poacher, who waits the ball all day long inside the box to score tap ins
That was never a penalty, all referees on world famous sport websites agree.
@stefanm Who are the refeers, on which world famous sportsides? You don't give a single link
@stefanm, lol it was a clear penalty.
Not suggesting he isn't great but is anyone else worried about how often and easily Messi gets dispossessed now? He should release the ball more now he's not quite as quick.
@Someboy1910 He's not focused at all, that's why he loses every ball. Pele needs to criticise him again :D
the keeper's self esteem got shattered by that panenka, feel bad for him.. damn you messi!
Antonin Panenka is a legend and will allways be. His crazy winning penalty in the shootout against West Germany in the Euro 1976 is remembered by all great players - and today Messi was the perfect copycat ...
lyon can go through
Where are the lineups? Why are they not ready yet even though the game has started?
CR7 > Messi
@Patrikovic better in waiting or making ? :)
@Patrikovic at diving or crying?
@Patrikovic In what? Messi has a better technique in penalties now :-D The penalties are Ronaldo´s most powerwul guns :-D
Says all about Messi that CR fanboys will see this match which is way less prestigous than Bayern-Pool because of Messi. He caused so deep trauma in the last 9 years until his CR destroying time.
@Pastore10 Even penaldians love to watch the GOAT bc unlike their idol, Messi doesn't wait in the box for penaltap-ins™. He's entertaining to watch even when he doesn't score.
getting tired of the ridiculous spam boring lame hater comment
@pasopati, and I think is 1 guy with a lot of accounts.
@pasopati, @whoscored must ban this lifeless trolls.
*Messi can he match Ronaldo's Hat Trick last night.
Barca with Mesi & Suarez both to score combined with Lewandowski to score against Liverpool.
this could easily send something like 2-2 with lyon going through. however, uefa will do everything possible to get messi to go through.
@uefalona sounds like u misspelled ronaldo ! last three ucl didnt happen in 1950 decade
uefa will do their best to get messi to the next round they want a ronaldo vs messi this season
@BSN Everyone with a brain wants Messi vs CR.
@GioMonaldo well yeah but not in an ugly way, this wasn't bad tho apart from the penalty everything was fine
@BSN they will unfortunately, let’s hope Lyon get some luck
i will be shocked
Lyon will end Barcelona. Fekir to score 2-2
I think Messi will not score today,but will play best.
@Whou Will be interesting match ,Barca Juventuos
the best answer is : they are both superd players , Messi is more talented and Ronaldo have more body power and more Strength of Personality, he is like a machine
The Big question , Who is better Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi ? come on guys its time to make comments
@Cannavaro69 numbers don't lie,,let's check who whoscored thinks over the last decade or so,,,then check who has goals,,assists ,,key passes,,dribbles,,,pass accuracy,,creates chances,,,and get more touches to influence the game... then after that,, will see... oh I jus dd for the last decade whoscored says Ronaldo was not better than Messi in any season (individually) but his team dd win major honors,,,and oh they score the same number of Goals,,Messi assists more,,dribbles more,,creates more,,gives more key passes ,, influences more... individually tho,,,but this is a team sport
@Cannavaro69 I think the Argentinians and Portuguese will be able to give an objective answer, not us fanboys.
@Cannavaro69 one is better in pure football abilities (messi) the other is a full package (ronaldo) its hard to say who but for me it was ronaldo before 2009 and ronaldo after 2014
@BSN right
All five goals conceded by Barcelona in this season's Champions League have come in the second half, including three in the final 10 minutes.
Penaldo scored three.. the GOAT will score four!
Cr and penalties? missed in Euro, in WC (cost Portugal an easy route to the final, no Eder no party), missed 2times in UCL semi, and missed in UCL final...the legendary penalty taker,...half of his misses were under pressure (from cca. 10-15),simply he doesnt take it, and the other 5 without pressure from more han 100 penalties
See u "Messi mentally fragile little kid" haters after the game and I hope barca will draw against juve, just so messi can remind u how it feels to be beaten by the GOAT
oh moderators just send this school freaks to the ban asap
@JoseMourinhoo your profile name is JoseMourinho
4:1
@Pastore10 yea comfortable win for barca today with messi showing up bigtime
Mark my words ; 2 - 4 for Lyon Lyon will surprise Uefalona Today Messi can only dream of world cup Uefalona can dream of winning treble
@David_Wiltsserf Why?? Lyon Sure ?
@David_Wiltsserf @David_Wiltsserf Treble? 2009, 2015...CR has zero and never will, he can only perform in one cup per year
Treble Treble loading for Barcelona...
I think Lyon will score first , then Barca will turn the match upside down and smash Lyon (3:1)
Valverde you didn't inderstood yet that Coutinho can't give 100% of his performance when playing as a winger , his original position is AM , how many matches do you need to understand that !! Oh My God , he is so Idiot , someone who accept to sign prince Boateng can't be blamed , he is totaly fool :D
Barcelona to go through with ease 3-0 or 4-0
Barca doing the treble (I hope) ... :-)
Barca should not take this Lyon side slightly, they are full of surprises and fast on the brink. BTTS and Messi takes MotM.
Over 2.5 goals
Barcelona have won all four matches since being held to a goalless draw by Lyon in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie and should be home bankers to extend that sequence. Barca have scored 11 goals in those four matches, although Lyon have shown enough in taking four group-stage points off Manchester City to suggest it could be a thriller.
Barcelona have won the home leg in their last 11 ties at the last-16 stage.Barca have scored 11 goals in those four matches, although Lyon have shown enough in taking four group-stage points off Manchester City.
"a goalless draw would see the French side progress to the next round" How can this be possible that a goalless draw sees Lyon through when the first leg was 0-0?
@bopol Whoops! That should be score draw. Change should show shortly. Thanks
Lyon will go through
Allez OL
draw ands both teams to score
over 3,5 goal
Barcelona 2:2 LYON
Barça and with ease at that.
Mr Fekir to crush uefalona fans dreams at Nou Camp with a goal .. 0-1 result here
@stefanm Or he ll crush ur fantasy...
@Lapulga real madrid > barca , 4 champion league titles in 5 years while messi was on his sofa in the living room watching tv and eating popcorn.
@stefanm real better than barca? LOL when was the last time real trashed barca?
@emadx Real madrid has the most la liga titles and the most champion league titles. this says it all. goodbye
@stefanm What about Copa Del Rey ?
@stefanm Vardrid is nothing without referee n offside goals..lol
@Lapulga uefalona doesnt agree ;)))) remember steal vs chelsea in final? remember stealing with referee aytekin vs psg two years ago?? do u want more? i can name 100 more situations no problem?
Let's destroy Lyon..visca Barca
