Chiellini on Messi's goal vs Bilbao:

"It was certainly a great goal. I don’t think Messi would be able to score a goal like that in Italy, where the defending is much better than in Spain."

The Italian claims a goal like that wouldn't be possible against an Italian team because of the way they defend compared to La Liga teams.

imo, Chiellini is crazy. Have you seen Cesena's defense? Im sure Messi could score like that against them and well, they are an Italian team.
Nice way to heat up the days prior to the final. Now Messi has the personal challenge of humiliating Chiellini.

Everyone is ruling Juventus out to quickly, but I would go as far as saying they might even have shots on target by the end of the game.

Messi is Italian .

Everyone expects Barca to win but wait and see Juve lifting the trophy.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thought this thread would be about Suarez after reading the title.

@Eden: lolllllllllllllll... No you are not the only one.

I had the exact same thought

same ^

Well, there were a lot of forums comparing La Liga and Premier League, let's compare now the Serie A and La Liga! Chiellini has probably still not recovered from Suarez biting session.

Haha Chiellini didnt got the lesson lol, when you see Napoli conceding +50 goals only in the league, Chiellini thinks we are still in 80s or early 90s...

You can bring Messi down Chiellini but dont cry if you get red carded because thats what will happen if you deny him several channces to go forward.

For me its another desperate mind game, Messi isnt affected by this anyways, Phenomeno humiliated Italian defenses when they got big names, with the actual players playing at the moment Messi will do wonders...

@Tuanis they will have shots on target, they could even score, but the chances of Barça lifting the Graal is 8 out of 10, only incredible circumstances could stop them ( lucky set pieces, Tevez )...

Juve was underrated, but after beating Madrid with '' their worst form of the season '' and '' low confidence '', Barça is at the opposite at the moment, '' their capital confidence is at its highest ''.

Rakitic wake up in the second leg has been important in the big games, and Messi, well if Barça loose in the final, it wont be his mistake, he is fit and in form, he has NEVER missed a final while being at his usual form, so good luck Chiellini.

i thought this would be about suarez.

Chiellini after the game:

All this pre-game stuff is bull. Fact is, this is the Champions League Final. You show up, and you play. If you had allowed all this yapping to mess with you, you wouldn't have made it this far. Just because Barca > Juve, doesn't mean Juve won't win. And that's something we all need to remember.

And suddenly

mind game ? im sure he will play...

Yes, he is out.

I wanted him to play, he could have tried inform Messi experience :)
