They will win at camp nou if Ronaldo is playing. Mark my words.

Good pass but comon. It wasnt directly involved in the goal.

What a delicious pass.

lol sad truth

an offside hattrick

he actually had a good game. Maybe just needs to be a bit more selfish.

Bit selfish? He got two best opportunities but wasted them.

The second opportunity shaved the post. It happens. Messi missed an easier chance in the first half. But his combination play was admirable. Difficult to pick who played badly in that Barcelona team to be honest. Maybe Roberto defensively.

Ozil flashbacks

I'm pretty sure they did. Nobody likes a shitty incompetent boss.

Makes me remember when Palermo “scored” a hattrick in missed penalties for Argentina 😁

Not worth replying you

I agree with you partly, because the scoreline could have been very different, if Juve wasn't so unlucky. 3 offside goals, 2 handballs in the box, the penalty given (contact was outside the box?), you felt the frustration grow..

I don't know why ansu came on for dembele and not for griezman imo. and then the game was already decided and Ansu Fati had it on the foot but wasn't selfish enough. They really always want to walk the ball into the net

I wouldn't call the offisdes 'unlucky' as they were all clearly offside. As we've seen so far with handballs, it's a grey line. But it takes nothing away from Barcelona playing at a whole other level.
Maybe because dembele hasn't played very much and was tiring.

perhaps yeah. they also had a change in the lineup.. pjanic played really well, pedri looking to get a spot in the first team, pique missing (thank god), not to mention ter stegen.. But then again on Juve side, no one can fill the gap of that one important player

True. When Chiellini is out, they're all over the place defensively. The Turkish lampost is a walking red card.

One good game against weaker opposition than themselves and barca are all sudden considered as a good team again? Calm down, they shouldve forfeited their spot in the champions league after the bayern embarrassment

Bro stop this shit. It is old now. Lot of us moved from this meme. But tbf, he scored 12 penalties last year in Serie a alone, so you’re proving your point is right.

The African Messi vs Ronaldo fascination will never die. I can see them all on live score making commenting without watching the game.

What the fuck does Africa have to do with Messi vs Ronaldo? Everyone and their mother talk about Messi vs Ronaldo all the time. Are you racist or just stupid?

Im sure someone hacked his phone or he is very very wasted. Cause he doesnt say this kinds of stuff normally.

Go on the live score page on Facebook. Infested by African armchair fanatics who don't actually watch games commenting on Messi penalties etc. It isn't just africans. Just plastic armchair fanatics. Never go to games, very rarely even in the country of the team they support and also rarely watch matches. Game finishes, they look at the score, who scored and then begin to spew drivel. The infest pretty much all of the online comment forums and platforms.

So you admit it isn't just Africans who talk about Messi vs Ronaldo yet you singled them out for some reason. Aren't you also an armchair fan since you know where all the other "armchair fans" hang around?

It's an Italian thing

Singled them out for being armchair fanatics? Yes. Is it wrong or inaccurate? No. No, I don't know where they hang around. they just infest online platforms. Comedy to suddenly bring race into it. I'm referring to armchair fanatic football fans of European football. How you managed to bring stupidity or racism into it I'll never know.

What's an Italian thing? Being allergic to plastic and superficiality? Very much so.

Is it an Italian thing to be racist towards Africans? If so I don't agree with that let's not generalise all Italians because of @milanlamiavita's words.

Where have I been racist, you clown? By stating they're armchair fanatics? How is that racist? You are the one with the race complex. Not me. Me criticising superficial and pointless comments on the part of plastic fanatics is not racist. Whether they're African or not makes no difference. The point is that the majority of those who do respond to online comment section are. I will take a snap shot to show you.

"The African Messi vs Ronaldo fascination will never die. I can see them all on live score making commenting without watching the game."

These are your words, idiot. You're the one who brought race for no reason then try to excuse your racism with "armchair" bullshit.

Calling africans who en mass gloryhunt European teams is racist? 😂 What a load of utter tripe. Here. A quite snapshot of the expert fanatics. Pretty much every profile is an African one...!

Very odd how racists always make a racist remark and when someone calls on their racism the deflect by saying why are you bringing race into it. Are you so racist that you can't even tell when you're being a racist?

Your understanding of what constitutes racism is not only sketchy but an insult to the human brain. I can't call a congregation of African online 'experts' armchair fanatics, because it happens to be racist? I think you need to look up what constitutes racism and bigotry. You're embarrassing your own intelligence. You're either incredibly thick or have a race complex. Whichever one it is, it is for you to deal with and not me. Or maybe you're just getting your knickers in a twist because you're an armchair fanatic yourself. Liverpool 'fan'.

And this proves what? Messi and Ronaldo fanboys have been posting similar things for the last 10 years regardless of the place of their origins but you focusing just on Africans is the real issue.

10 years ago Messi and Ronaldo were fighting one another in the same league. It was a Barcelona vs Real Madrid issue. As for 'focus'...because I have to follow live score and this sort of comment trend is consistent from week to week. So to say that live score is dominated by African armchair fanatics is racist too? 😂 What else? Me saying that most comments on the bbc are by men is also racist towards men? What a utter clown you are.

But this is not a congregation of African "armchair" fans so why did you even bring that up? As far as I'm concerned you yourself are an armchair fan since you post here regularly and know all the threads where "armchair fanatics" hang around so calling me an armchair fan is meaningless. Have a good night/day Mr. racist/true fan.

it is indeed a congregation of African armchair fanatics. You can look on the page itself. Livescore is a live score website. It is where people look to check on the scores. So when the majority of these type of comments happen to be by African accounts somehow then makes it racist? What about if I somehow commended these armchair fanatical experts on their exemplary input? Is that then racist towards everyone else who comment, who isn't African? I'm talking about football. Comment on football related forums. It's not like I'm judging these people on their lives, upbringing or anything remotely race related. The person who's somehow confused that is you and your pitiful brain.
I participate here & also support my team. Something you'll never understand. Come and call me racist to my face

Football is a globalized industry nowadays. And even the European teams travel around the world during preseason for marketing purposes. They want to have fans from other parts of the world, including africa. So if you don’t like people from far away supporting your ”local” club, then tell them to stop reaching out to those fans.

I watched this game and the point is to make people question their naming of CR7 as Penaldo, as the vast majority who does that are Messi fans. And he has scored quite a lot of his goals from the penalty spot lately. The point is to show how that it’s ridiculous using this kind of naming.

Yes this is an old topic, but still alive... don’t pretend anything else. Are you for example missing the Bruno Penandez jokes...

But hey... we haven’t had a comment thread this long for a long time in the game highlights. It’s refreshing 😉😁

(And I’m neither african, armchair fan nor fanatic...🙄)

@milanlamiavita: whats up with this african hate? You seriously think it is only africans doing that trolling? Maybe you are only looking at their comments and not others.

@Leonardito

”very very wasted”

🤣😂🤣😂🤷‍♂️

@Algerino. What 'hate'?? Where is the hate? I'm referring to a section of the online footballing fraternity that engages in the action that I've clearly described. Me criticising the African dominated comment sections on livescore for being besotted with Messi vs Ronaldo argument is not hate. It's not like I've somehow denigrated where they come from, upbringing or anything that is remotely xenophobic. My criticism is purely football related. When have I ever said anything negative about your origins? Criticism is not racism. Critique that isn't borne out of xenophobia or somehow backed up by xenophobic leanings is not racism.

@Pelle. Football has always been a globalised game. It isn't just now that teams play globally or somehow reap the rewards of global exposure when it comes to the bottom line. But no, that doesn't mean that I have to somehow be OK with plastic fanaticism. Plastic fanaticism generally always manifests itself in your form. A wonderful football match played in Torino - a game that I really enjoyed because Barcelona played very well.
BUT. Instead of coming on here to maybe say something interesting or constructive, you've gone and make the most pathetic, completely pointless and superficial statement anyone can make. Penaldo? And you don't want me to judge it along with all of the other degenerate comments along the same lines?

@Pelle. Aw believe me, I know you're not a fanatic. You're part of a whole generation of synthetic and cringe riddled bullshitters who bring down the average IQ of football fans.

And you’re too arrogant to see the BS subjectivity in your own comments. I’d increase your IQ by just interacting with you.

My IQ is enhanced by talking to the degenerate who could only muster 'Penaldo' as a comment response to a champions league game? Well now I've heard it all. Such deep levels of knowledge, understanding and wisdom in one made up word. Blown away.

Like you said ”one word”...The fact that one word not directed to you, in the internet, by a stranger, gets under your skin is sad. Maybe you are easily offended. If so I’m sorry

It didn't offend me! I think it denigrates this space! This is a comment section to discuss football! Take your childish and superior kindergartn intellect elsewhere!

You surely act like someone offended... and definitely easily triggered. Making this mess because of a word.

If you don’t like it, you’re the one who should go elsewhere. You don’t decide who gets to be here or not.

Have a good night/day Mr. racist/true fan.

Ah yes. The superior intellect on show again. When in doubt, just use the racist remark. Are you from Paris? Because I'm visiting a friend in Gentilly in 3 weeks! If you're not a plastic fanatic and actual Parisien, why not try and call me racist to my face?

I had to come back and give you right a little bit. Messi vs Ronaldo is not an african thing, its a global thing... and I don’t like to make it a thing about races. But a lot of africans have lately been swarming in ”Bleacher report football” (and a few other places where I hang out sometimes) with tons of troll comments... the post about PSG earlier today wasn’t an exception. 😕

I was struck by it, and it made me think of your input here, there is actyally something to it... so I take specifically back ”Mr Racist”.

(Anyway most of the african football fans are just nice people wanting to share their thoughts on football.)
