I missed it. Damn

It was NASTY … all Buffon could do was watch !
I looked, but too early for an highlight clips on it …

Renaldo is a goal scoring machine. Incredible.

From Real' Twitter feed …

Ronaldo has been the most dominant player in the Champions League last couple years.

Getting ready for Barca's game. Now it's Messi's turn.

Barca is up 2-0.

3-0 for Barca

This is not surprising at all. He's as talented as any true striker in the history of the game. Unfortunately, he's a bit of a head-case which leads to too many inconsistent performances and that's why he isn't on the top 5 list of the greatest strikers.

This is what Ibra does - goes to a new team...starts with electrifying performances and then eventually inconsistencies catch up and he is shipped out or let go. Not because he is not good...but his inconsistency isn't worth the head-ache he brings. But, I hope in MLS - he can be consistent because he doesn't have to be at his best to score on a regular basis.

Love watching Ibra when he's fully engaged and playing for the team. When he is in that mood - he's as much fun to watch as Ronaldo and Messi.
Hate watching Ibra when he DGAF about his team and plays disconnected.

This was an absolutely shocking result. I felt...ManCity was favorite to win it all. I'm not sure they can turn this around. You can give teams like Barca, Bayern, and Real to have a shot at turning this around...but a team with so little experience in Champions League - I don't see it.

Then again, Liverpool has 0 experience as well...so should be an interesting 2nd leg. But, 3-0 is a huge lead. Liverpool must not play defensive. Got to score 1 goal.

Personally I've felt Barca were the favorite, but I get your point
