Hilarious!
Who remembers back in the day when English pundits used to throw out that stat of Messi not scoring against English clubs (as if that was the gold standard for Champions League performances)?

Ah those ITV1 days.....oh the memories!

Before tonight's game....

Messi struggled during his early appearances against Premier League sides as it took him nine games against English clubs before he contributed to a goal - an assist for Andres Iniesta against Chelsea in the 2009 Semi-final.

On top of this, when he makes the trip from Spain to England, he is nowhere near as prolific, compared to his overall record, scoring just six goals in 14 games played in England.

His 10th appearance against an English club saw the Barca forward finally break his goal duck. Manchester United were his victims with a memorable header in the 2009 Champions League final in Rome.

Since then, the Argentine has caught fire, scoring 19 in his next 17 appearances against Premier League opposition, including a spectacular hat-trick against Manchester City and a memorable four-goal haul against Arsenal. Messi is currently on a run of six consecutive games against English clubs where he has scored, which does not bode well for Spurs.

 
Lol man United have the most points out of the English teams

Sshh.....don't tell Mourinho that stat!

FIFA needs to fuck off and leave Peru alone. Our national team manager, Ricardo Gareca, is threatening to leave if the football Federation of Peru gets leveled with sanctions. He will go right to Argentina and flex with their national team.
 
What typical United team? Shits been like this for 6 years fam lol.

Yall United fans still living in the good old days.

You serious??? Even in the LVG and Moyes days after a bad result imo the team gave a reaction...

Living in the good old days??? You mean winning the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League in the last 3 years???

Even under Ferguson they wasn't attacking they was perfectly balanced and really efficient

You mean when we conceded 3 goals we scored 4, or grounded results out in 'Fergie Time', I would say thats attacking football... We were known for our flying wingers too...

Efficient more than attacking it's rare you conceded 3 goals. Also Ferguson had horrible records against pep and Jose teams.

But let's agree to disagree
 
Lol media acting like Liverpool are in some sort of crisis no wins in 3.... They played Chelsea twice and Napoli no team is guaranteed to win those kinds of games
