    I knew a kid whose last name was Cester way back then. Little did he know that his name is pronounced "ester"

    I highly recommend watching Messi, Neymar, and Suarez live. Wow. They're something else.

    I think pretty much all football fans would love to see them live. They, like me, just don't have that opportunity.

    Actually 90% of the other footballers would like to see them too....

    Most will because of league games, CL and friendly games

    I'm pretty new to the soccer thing. Only started being interested after my daughter started playing. Has there ever been a team as talented and dominant as the current Barca team? I mean all 3 front guys would be the best player on pretty much any other team.

    Excellent choice! Welcome!

    They are in great shape right now, but have been even more dominant in the past, for example just lost 1 league game in 09/10 and gained 99 out of 114 possible points.

    Regarding the current team, I'm not completely sold on their defense and the goalkeeper (even though he's german). The big games are still a few months away, but to be realistic, there's just two or three teams out there who could possibly stop Barca.

    I've seen them live (Suarez wasn't there). 4:0. 3:0.

    And this year, Bayern will crush Barca.

    Again.

    Maybe because Pep knows all the secrets of Barca. Plus Suarez is the real difference maker. El Pistolerio... or something like that.

    Allianz will have to be my next stop! Though I'd like to see Robben play as well. Have seen him a few times but not in a good number of years - last time was at Wembley and he was insanely good.

    Pool owe Suarez big time actually:

    - For one, he was entertaining as hell during his time at LFC
    - He gave pool a bit of hope that we could be pretty good again, which brings me to my third point
    - He kept the team afloat just enough so that the team can fail later and fire Rodgers later, at exactly the right time to snag Klopp. Imagine if Suarez wasn't around and Rodgers' LFC finished 7-9th spot on the table. He would have be fired much earlier and Klopp wouldn't be available

    Too bad Sterling had to leave before Klopp arrived.

    ^^what's up with Ribbery breh? Did he cost Bayern the game?

    Lulz, Sturrs is such a useless body now. He should be waived by the team and retire. A huge burden on salary.

    Seems like you have amnesia or you're just clueless about football.

    Bayern beat Barca in 2012 7-0, neither Neymar not Suarez were on the team yet. Messi didn't play one of those legs.

    Where were you this May, when Barca eased by Bayern Munich?

    At least I am not a miserable twat.

    It was 2013, but you are correct that Neymar wasn't there yet.

    In the stadium.

    Messi played 90min in the 4:0 slaughtering and they didn't use him in the 2nd leg because it was already over, guess you're the one with amnesia.

    That's Robben and Ribery merged.
