those players neeed to deal with it ... a player needs to stop them from scoring goals it's his job if he does a legit tackle that doesn't mean it should be a foul or if he gets a bit physical its exploiting they're weakness in a legit way ...

We'll see you talking when they get injured...

Barca players are surprisingly strong, anyways. Sure, they get fouled a lot but they are rarely injured, at least. UEFA conspiracy or not, it's amazing.

These guys have had like 6 competitions yearly, been kicking ass since 2008 and have had a smallish squad until now. I know they're constantly rotated, but still.

Iniesta is injured every now and then, but for his physique he rarely is. Pique I don't recall any serious injury apart from hip dislocation from too much... Abidal had freakin' cancer. Xavi, again, no serious injuries. Barca's physios are WC. Or maybe it's the DNA.

I'm honestly surprised Messi has yet to be injured in a clasico, given how the whole aim of some players like Pepe and Marcelo is "stop Messi whatever the cost" which leads to some nasty tackles. Also Mou introduces some players with the specific aim of fouling the f*ck out of Messi. For example, when Adebayor was introduced in one of the CL games last season he didn't touch the ball once, but he did foul Messi 6 times with no intention of going for the bal...

That wasn't Messi-specific for Ade. He barely touched the ball on a consistent basis for us when he had to use his feet. In fact, i cringed when he had to play with his feet lol. Only time i got excited was when a ball was played in the air towards him.

Right, but when a player plays 10 minutes and in those he manags to foul Messi 6 times you gotta wonder what exactly Mou told him before getting him on the pitch...
