Luis Enrique will leave Barcelona at the end of the season.

Arsene Wenger among the names being speculated as a replacement.

Some very good goals.

Messi needs some dental work tomorrow after getting one in the face.

Why wasn't Marcelo sent off, for the blatant arm/elbow on Messi?

Don't think you could say it was blatant.

I think Messi was doing a Suarez and trying to bite him!

Did he lose any teeth, i didn't follow the aftermath?

If its not meant, its still a red card because to have your elbow up as you run full pelt into someone is dangerously reckless at best. I see some people saying Ramos shouldnt have been sent off, but despite the fact he pulled out, he typically went for a two legged, both legs off the floor challenge before he realised Messi was getting to the ball and pulled out. It borderline maybe, but I think he had to go. Cant be leaving the ground like that and making contact, even if you do realise just before you remove a guys leg. Casimero was lucky not to see red either. He got booked, then made about 6 fouls that the ref would book you for any day of the week if he wasnt on a yellow in a big game.

Messi typically stole the show. First goal was a stunner. Second was neat. Anyone else scores that first wed be raving about it for a while, with Messi its not even in his top 100...

500 goals at 29, in arguably the best league theres ever been. The guy is just ridiculous

Looked blatant to me. Not sure if Messi did lose any, but he lost a bit of blood.

Messi had the last laugh though. Well, he will if they win the title.

I think he meant it personally, but no proof. Its just very convenient to be that reckless in a big game with it being Messi.

Who was that Sheff U player many years ago who nearly killed someone with his elbow?

That was blatant too, eye on the player not the ball and caught him a treat, didn't even get a yellow card.

Inadvertent i would have called Marcello, don't think he's a dirty player.
