We shouldn't focus too much on Messi anyway. Xavi and Iniesta make Messi look a lot better than he is. Messi is an amazing player, obviously, but you only have to compare performances for Argentina and Barcelona to see that it is his team-mates who should get the real plaudits.
Next time he passes through half the opposite team,I'll be sure to think "oh tnk god iniesta was there watching him,or else..". Come on don't be mean. Messi has scored dozens of goals all alone,just passing through 4-5 defenders like a storm. In Argentina btw,he plays a different position. He plays more like Xavi does in Barcelona. Having 3 centers like Aguero,Tevez and Higuain,his coaches can not and won't put him up front,they rather have him making the game,cause lets face it,in this generation Argentina's midfielders suck compared to legendary players like Veron,Riquelme,Simeone etc.

A quick search on youtube.
Really Uefa? Now it's just getting embarrassing.
i certainly would like to know what uefa thinks he said to marcelo then.

You're Spanish, you can read lips and tell what he's saying...
1. Dive and make racist remarks to players after. 2. Have Unicef logo. 3. Uefa open case against you. 4. ??? 5. Profit.
This thread is really missing a poll on whether Utd. will get a red card. Hopefully we'll avenge our performance from 09. Capitulated so early on that year -.-. Pity too when we were the only one with hte balls to attack barca and we had some dancing to our tune for the first 10 minutes.
This year even though utd are the underdogs it would be truly impressive for Barca to win. Despite their diving and theatrics, the sheer level of fitness necessary to play constantly for 2 years and win is impressive.

What did Marcelo do? He is the one getting remarked at.
I used to get really excited for european football, but now I find it's better anywhere else. I hate all the cheating. It makes the game unwatchable. I'm looking at you, Italy, Portual, and Spain. This is NOT the proper way to play the game. FIFA keeps saying it's getting more strict (every 2 years or so they say something to that effect) but it's just not true. I wish I could get excited for this match .
Coaches: stop encouraging this play.
Good luck to Man U; if I do end up watching I'll be cheering for them.

The problem here is, it is impossible to prove it. You can say there's nothing else he could say but in fact there are, and simply because of that you cannot prove it.
We all might think that's what he said, but it's not enough.

This is just a poor argument... You can agree or disagree with Busquets not being sanctioned but pretending that the sponsorship has an influence on that decision is unfair at least.

Honestly I don't know what he's saying. It could perfectly be "mono mono" though, I don't know since I'm not good at reading lips. Either way I don't think it's enough proof to call it a racist remark.

Damn I just saw Man U's game again vs Chelsea (Champions League) and Barcelona's game vs Madrid (also Champions League), and all I have to say is, I'm more than happy that both teams made it to the finals... I can't wait!!!
This is truely going to be a final of Champions!!!

Marcelo cries about everything, and i mean everything, he dives to no end and complains about everything.
To everyone complaining about Barcelona "diving" look at Madrid in those matches, if Barcelona players took the tackles from some of Madrid's players they could have career ending injuries. Madrid played like thugs and got punished for it.
Only way Man U can win this is with really good tactics IMO. Ferguson needs a solid gameplan that the players can execute well.
No way they can simply set out to outplay Barca as this Barca team is definitively the best team in the world and will most likely go down as one of the greatest of all time. Madrid had the best chance of beating them because of the style of Mourinho teams, they're good at closing a game down, whereas Man U prefer to play open attacking football. Thats fine for England where most teams arent at their level but Barca will just rip you to shreds if you try to play that way against them.
I'll be rooting for Barca, their diving/cheating for all the criticism it gets is really no more or less then any other team but their football is certainly the greatest I've seen from any team in my lifetime.
