Having watched the PSG game last night, I also noted that Messi was pretty much missing in action last night. I didn't watch the first game, but I believe the same was true then, including him missing a penalty.

In my experience, had this been Ronaldo instead of Messi, there would have been a frenzy of people on social media slating Ronaldo (mainly Man Utd haters and Barcelona fans no doubt). I fully expect we will see this when United inevitably get knocked out of the Champions League.

There's loads of anti-Messi stuff on twitter

You've got to assume the French Media are having a field day - but it is all quiet here!

Honestly hes not the player these days that he was.

But - I bet he still gets the next Ballon D'or :ROFLMAO:

From someone I trust who was there. The Frankfurt fans were followed by police then pulled out weapons. They just defended the pub. After the police rounded up the germans, the pub was back to normal.


Matches an interview with the owner of the pub. "They were fantastic no trouble at all. All they did was defend themselves. It was the German fans who attacked them the English were just in here singing having a drink, having a good time. They were fantastic I hope they come back today and spend lots more money."

It’s just my view and everyone is entitled to that.

Every fan that goes through a turnstile at Stamford Bridge endorses the corruption of their club

Not everyone will agree and that’s fine with me.

Sorry that’s not right , you can’t just put a blanket like that , there will be many fans who just want to watch their team play football and not get involved in the politics

I suspect if you look through Joe Lewis history it won’t all be rosey , and of course spurs had their issues when building the stadium

I cant say I agree.

Whilst there are some horrible Chelsea fans (theres horrible fans at every club too) - the fans do not choose who becomes their clubs owner.

Chelsea have enjoyed incredible success due to RA's ownership, as a fan, you cant not be grateful of that or stop following your team because the owner is seen as corrupt.

If Villa were purchased by the Saudi PIF fund for example, I'd still be there every week singing songs - because I love and support the club. You cant ever change the club you support, its impossible, so you're stuck!

Owners come and go, fans are for life.

I think the main difference being it would be a miracle if Utd did qualify. Where as PSG were cruising and from the game I saw Messi didn’t do to bad. The last half an hour for PSG was woeful
For everyone. One thing that’s not said on here, was why did Poch not play Donnaruma. He is arguably the best goalie in the world.
Re Messi and Ronaldi. They are years past there best.
