Neymars skill, and more importantly his first EVER league goal for him. May he score many, many more

Skill

Goal

We have ro admit that Real was the worst side we've played this season though. So slow an unintense. Even when Neymar and Messi were subbed we continued to create good chances.

I also wasn’t aware of the game. Damn.
It seems it was a comfortable one.
A few points (based on what everyone is saying and the highlights).

Pique can have a perfect game and an instant of him “traveling” away can cost us a goal. That needs to stop. He is such a great player and he needs to get his shit together

I am really happy to see so many people contributing to goalscoring. I don’t have the numbers but I’m sure that last year the stats would be something like 80% Messi – 20% everybody else

I like what Martino does. I agree with Alfred that subbing messi on the 80th minute may seem pointless but at least it passes the message that the boss is the boss. I hope Messi adapts to this and not the other way around

Finally does anybody know how long Masch is gonna be out?

Mascherano only has an elongation, that usually takes less than a week to heal, but I don't think he will be available for this weekend.
Watched Messi's video and I can't see anything that points to trouble... all he does is seat and throw a bottle cap!

good news. let's see how Bartra plays then

Sport reporting that Masche is out for 10-15 days and will miss Almeria and Celtic, and might miss Valladolid. Bartra's time to shine.

Against Almeria and Celtic we'll probably play with Pique and Bartra as CBs...
Against Valladolid, Puyol should be ready to have some minutes...

Got a bad feeling Martino will try Busquets back there and play Song in midfield. Probably because Song isnt getting enough minutes despite playing so well.

Martino said that Bartra is 3rd choice as CB, hope he keeps his word.
