How on earth does Messi score those freekicks?? He couldn't have got the ball anymore perfect in the top corner even if he tried!! He must have been extremely good at maths!! Lol! :)

Honestly the freekick is so good it should be worthy of two points :)

Do Barcelona have a proper GK? The 1st goal showed how lacking they are in that position. Ter Stegen should have known in that angle it's unlikely Sansone will shoot to near post. Bad positioning.

Dude, have you ever played goalie? That shot across has no defense. If the goalie moves closer to the far post he'll open up the near post. If you want to blame someone, blame Barca's defenders that left him unmarked. Pique is so overrated and Mascherano's far from the player he used to be.

Agree with @hohenheim here!!! But Ter Stegen wasn't that great either, when defenders suck and the goalie ain't on top, you can't stop a goal.

Couldn't be more perfect than that The keeper had no chance but staring at the ball and stand in awe. Messi the King!

Congrats Real Madrid on winning La Liga, RM are winning all the Spanish trophies this season. Plus they might go unbeaten this year. Barca's defense is weak so is their midfielders.

Haha, if Madrid go unbeaten this season then it would be as legendary as Arsenal's Invincibles season. Highly unlikely.

You may need those outcasts in your starting X! the way things are going... It's like Barca just feels bored with their play now.

Crisis never last that long at Barca so relax, we may have lost the league depending on Madrid form atm, but we're still in for cups. Alba is crucial to Barca tactics and Villareal are the best defensive team in Spain and never loose at home, they trashed Atletico Madrid 3-0 for a reason last month. Everything is relative, Madrid atm has the best form in the world if w were competing with Man City or Arsenal we would be topping the league just saying...

@tiki_taka like barca I don't have anything agasint them am just saying Madrid will dominate this year, they will win Copa Del Ray and La Liga and what ever other cup in Spain there is. Champions League no but have a really good chance. Barca's defense is weak you can't deny that RB is weak, CB is weak.

Another match where LE forgot he has three subs. I'm running out of words to towards LE, the worst tactician I have ever witnessed. We can blame the ref all day long, but believe me that's not the problem. Anyone who watched the entire match can see that there was no plan whatsoever. Just individual players running around the pitch with no clear intention. The attacks were are predictable and useless there just no strategy going on. It's clear that's a managerial issue. Another proof is when came to individual qualities we saw some dribbles from the Neymar and other forwards, but again against a well organized team like Villareal they were going no where. Of course, Messi saves LE ass again. This is just a shame. The league is most likely gone now.

every honest Barca fan will admit that Enrique is just a decent coach who was lucky to have MSN in great form, in his first season he was also aided by an amazing injury crisis which hit every major rival - Madrid in the league, and Bayern, PSG, City in CL.. you see such a thing maybe once in 50 years.. also last year Barca was not that impressive and were it not for Benitez they would have lost the league

I don't know, every coach becomes mediocre once his team stops performing. People here blaming LE, but I think he just uses the tools that he has.

Thing is Barca's midfield has changed a lot. They haven't got an inform Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets playing together perfectly.
Unless MSN is in form, they won't seem like the same Barca. If one of MSN goes, it could easily be crisis for Barca.
