Quite entertaining for a 0-0.
Neither side were actually very good, though. Each gave the other lots of lovely room to play in, but neither was competent enough to take advantage.
Alexis just loves to give the ball away, doesn't he? :hehe:

Possession is an old fashioned concept these days. Modern teams are more dangerous when they don't have the ball so a player like Sanchez is priceless.Quote:

Your view of events is shoddy. Are you a journalist by chance? Are you already drunk??
No - he (Pep) had left Barca by then...I think what people are referring to with Pep/Alexis is Pep's perceived reluctance to play him when he was boss?Quote:
