    That was all a bit odd without a final whistle. Deserving champions though.

    Well done to juventus to make a game of it. They could have folded but competed to the last whistle.

    Possibly juve equalised too early. Then again, had they left it later they could have been two or more down. Did as good a job as any, in all fairness. Think any English team, even Chelsea, would have been marmalised by Barca, in all truth.

    They were pretty fortunate not to lose by a few more. Barca wasted a lot of good chances and counter attacks

    They cannot be blamed for Barca missing their chances. Suarez in particular had loads of chances to put the game out of reach early on.

    Just saying Juve were outclassed, they only looked to have competed because of Barca's wastefulness.

    Pogba, overrated, £70m my arse

    It is about small margins and the demand. No competition for his signature probably half that price. But when Real Barca City and Man U, and more are chasing, the price rises irrespective of value.

    I bet Sanchez wished he didn't leave for London now.

    That performance wouldn't have done his fee any good.

    It's all well and good performing in the Italian league. He looks like another Tiote <laugh>

    I guess if he gets his move we'll see. He is very young still though

    Didn't hear a final whistle at all. Looked more like Juventus just conceded. So if I show up tomorrow in Berlin and knock a couple in at the right end it should be extra time :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Thought first half was pretty good but Barca's time wasting towards the end of the second half ruined that one. They just stopped the game from happening for so long and Juve doing anything towards an equaliser, then as soon as things started up again sucker punched em for 3-1

    He has a barnet like a badger hair shaving brush so that adds to the fee. Just like Lallana

    I thought Pogba played alright, held the ball up well, didn't lose it any dangerous places, got a snapshot off, played lorente through and worked hard. At this level you can't expect him to take on the whole barca team. Not even Messi did that. Oh and a debateable pen when alves dragged him down

    No, the one in the 2nd half just before Suarez went and scored..

    Was never a pen though he was looking for it and fell under barely any contact.

    I actually thought that Dongs, that they equalised too early. An equaliser in the last 10 mins would have been a mental blow to Barca.

    Though Barca really should have won that 4 or 5 1, Barca were certainly not at their best in that game, have seen them play a lot better this season.

    Never a pen. Pogba diving on the edge of the box earlier in the game didn't help his cause either.
    The one thing United taught him, to dive<ok>
