Manita! Awesome goals, all of 'em (except the own goal).
I know that Leo was MOTM but we deserve a video of Xavi's performance.it was really beautiful
But the own goal came about by our excellent pressing! Gotta appreciate the hard-work ugly goals too!
this site really needs a new server, it's embarassing to constantly get 502/504 errors. If you develop a fanbase like this, you should accomodate
I agree, there has been advertising on the site for quite a long time now, it was mentioned the money may be offered to charity, but I'm not sure what the scoop is there. at least the money should go towards better hosting!
messi is simply the best.. fifa ballon d’or is going to camp nou until messi retired
Insha Allahu
The team looks so fresh and fast with Thiago and i hope Pep would make him a starter now that Iniesta is injured. Xavi and Messi were amazing tonight, well done boys…
now somebody can see why i said is far ahead of cesc and 100 steps ahead of keita!nice job from our boys
Impressive performance!
i wish this was against Real Madrid, instead of Atletico Madrid. Barca back to their best! Visca Barca
GOLAZO DE MESSI!
great game today, everybody played really good.. Xavi was amazing, and so was Messi 
I think that freestyle thing by thiago was perfection … He is really good player .
Also our 3 4 3 formation is developing each time better . Pep is genious.
About messi .. he always does this no comment needed.
while cristina scores goals from penalties , messi kills them with style .
Visca Barca !
I think i can hear Mou and CR7 holding each other and crying.
cristina: damn it, he always want to do what i did. Cant I just own the glory and praise for more than 6 hours???
What glory? Two penalties and no assists. Dunno why they call that a hat-trick
Yeah, in my book, penalties don't count.
messi for fifa ballon d'or until he retired
Brilliant game by brilliant Barca. Messi is too much, no words can describe our alien
.
Lionel Messi (12) broke Alan Shearer's (11) record of most hat tricks scored of all time #fcblive
you sure? coz cristina scored a lot too.I am sure he has more than 10…
I heard one of the English Al Jazeera commentators saying Cristiano has 9 Hat-tricks. I don't remember correctly though.
I swear, sometimes people are so sensitive. Why thumb someone down for just asking a question? I have no idea who's got the most hat tricks.
Phew! finally got in! Damn 502 errors!!!! Messsssssssiiiiahhhhhh!!!
How do you score a goal, Ronaldo?
Give me a penalty kick!
How do you score a goal, MESSI?
Just give me the ball, i break defensive lines on my own
It’s worth wake up 4am to watch barca match.can’t wait thiago to score his 1st goal of the season. :_
He scored the first goal in the liga for Barca
Thiago's already scored…in fact, he didn't only score HIS first goal of the season, Barcelona's first goal of the season was scored by him VS Villareal; 5-0
he already had his first goal, it was the first goal of the season for barca.
It’s worth wake up 4am to watch barca match.can’t wait thiago to score his 1st goal of the season.
Thiago scored against Villarreal.

My God, those 502 and 504 Bad Gateway errors are getting to me. Do something about 'em tB, please!:S
BTW, BRILLIANT Barca tonight! The first half was Awesome . The second half started slow but then…Messi happened! LOL! Gotta love Leo!<3 Just Mind-blowing goals. And THIS is how we score a hattrick at Barca!
Yea right…We don't compete with goals from the spot, but we score Messi goals…
Thiago's performance too!! His move is so ronaldinho-like.
Thiago is ****ing selfish! He shoots all the time despite knowing that he wasn't in the best of positions to score. Pass the ****ing ball will ya? Someone please tell him in his face that he is not MESSI!!!
Funny that you say this, at least he is willing to take a shot, instead of the usual tiki taka routine, got to keep the opposing keeper honest with long range shots sometimes!
Are you stupid? Thiago rarely shot. He passed most of the times. Thiago had ONE SHOT and he shot that because HE WAS IN FRONT OF GOAL WITH NO SUPPORT. Anon, you are not a real cule. Go support Man City and Madrid. Clubs that don't have real fans. You'll fit in perfectly. You useless scum.
u need to shut up if u dont know wat u r talking about
Giv him tim al hw wanna do his stay in d 11..I’m sure he wil improv on dat,u can c villa advicin him..
and how about this picture? Villa change the haircut, Xavi says so :http://i.imgur.com/K5DAV.jpg
Messi was briliant, Mascherano very solid, Abidal excellent, Pique gave confidence, Pedro work very hard everywhere.
Little comment that Villa didn't score twice from Messi's perfect assists, and was very predictable most of the time. (despite the goal
Every time barca win there is a 502/504 error
5-0, 8-0 and 5-0, a manita guaranteed every match! Mou and his thugs must be shitting in their pants right now.
@ match preview:ath mad vs Barca.@comment 26 n 32;I said u guys shld quote me,dat it wil b a bizare scorelin:d trutj is when barca drop pts,d imdiate oppnent reciv d bash whc hsppnd 2nit..I also said messi hate comparsn ‘falcao vs messi.,u’l c d best of Messi..Barca thnks 4 nt lettin me down..Messi remain d best I ve ever ever seen..his goals r Cracker..Lov u al.Barca 4 life!
I dont know but All the teams coming to the Nou camp seems already lost bettle before the kick off…..Atl Madrid was aweful…..no pressing…..waiting for Barca to make a miss pass….even there was no reaction from manzano from the sidelines…..even he seemed pretty comfortable with the defeat…..and yeah Pedro has the biggest threat from Alexis to loose his starting position….poor performance again……and whenever he runs it seems like he is falling the way he spread his arms…his pick up is too slow which turns out to be a possession loss…….
I thought Pedro had a great game…………defensively that is.
but we expect him to do more offensively than defensively and if we want defensive winger than I prefer Adriano
pedro was very good last night, he did well.
Yeah I agree. Pedro seems to be short of ideas and is losing too many balls. As with the work rate all I see is Pedro running aimlessly in the outfield.
There are no words to describe Messi but my MOM will Thiago. This guy has a flair and touch of a genius. He is still far from being a finished product but in the future he n Cesc will form a lethal partnership in the midfield.
It was great to see Pique back in the line up. I hope that with Puyi n Pique back we can have Busquet in his favorite position.
Great game great great game what a performance by the best team on the planet what joy is it to watch this great team I’m going to tell my future kids about this team and there kids I’m going to tell them about a team that at times plays with two defenders in the back and that constelly keep attacking for 90 plus minutes the whole team needs to be recognized for there ability to attack and defend so happt to be a barça fan
What else do you want us to say?
The war is over!!!
BARCA RULES!!!
BD-MALO
-Villa played really well in this game. His game has been improving by leaps and bounds this season. Now this is the Villa I want to see all season. He just needs a little more luck on some of those one on ones. Really nice goal and a bit of skill. And his assist to Messi for the last goal was very creative.
-Messi. There are just noooooo words for that guy. He is AMAZING! Madre mia! That hattrick was so…MESSI. Definate contender for MOTM.
-Abi and Masche were wonderful. Masche was a beast. Taking the ball from whoever he felt like and his distribution was good. Where the heck was Falcao? I know he was being Mache's bitch. Abi was solid defensively and very convincing going forward. He could have got a goal lol.
-Busi, Xavii, Cesc-y and Thiago were a majestic midfield. The workrate and the creativity was perfection. And Pedrito was a WORKHORSE this game. Slowly getting his form back. He just needs to score now.
Hala !
Messi unbeliavable, 3 awesome goals no penalties, cr7 fanboys are crying in there sleep tonight.
Pedro really needs to improve his game outside the box, he has a great eye for goal, but his general play can be improved on. Masche easily one of the best sighnings of recent times.
Pep played with 3 at the back again, but lets just hope he does not take this risk in tough away games,
Great game and all but what's wrong with pedro anyway?
Busquets was awesome. best midfielder today.
Messi is our dolphin. He has senses that aren't quite human. Or more than.
Atleti were a bloody disgrace today. NO effort whatsoever. We could've won this by 10 if we didn't get bored in the second half and scored "only" two more, because Atletico was not trying to do ANYTHING AT ALL. I think this match would've been much tighter and difficult for us if they at least TRIED to play offensively.
But I guess the three points and the manita are the only things that matter… Although I'm still disappointed that Atletico didn't even bother to show up to play today, they were just sight-seeing, by the looks of it.
You probably might be saying that for every team that visits the Camp nou this season.
And honestly I dont think it was about not trying. They just COULDNT go forward. As their OWN COACH said, they were FORCED to defend, even Falcao, because of how fluid our passing was and how relentless our pressing was. Everytime Falcao got a sniff of the ball Masche was nearby to TAKE it from him.
And Atleti did have shots on and tried to get forward whenever they could, while trying to keep possession BUT it just didnt work out for them.
WE were great today, I dont care what ANYONE says.
Atletico always have been a disgrace.
Falcao's face: OMFG is the what they call Barca's Wrath, dem we look like shit against them.
agree. It is normal when playing other teams to wait 4 them to make mistakes b’cos they ll surely make mistakes. Barca hardly. I felt messi was kinda rusty. In d past 2 matches defenders ve been able to muscle him off d ball. But 70 percent messi is still great
