    João Félix with a great run to win a penalty.

    Messi has destroyed Barca, used to be normal watching them before he came along and totally made an injury an anticlimax ffs full of world class players and it just feels like there's something missing, I think he's scared cause he doesn't want to play a team wearing a Celtic strip.

    Edit: Spoke too soon, Barca nearly scored one of the classic goals, one touch passing is normal but one touch back heels? Blisteringly quick

    Barca have been great but Betis are excellent counter attacking team, some goal.

    Oh my * :56: That was amazing, Barca playing silky football on a velvet pitch and Betis are totally unimpressed

    Is there any truth in the idea Barca are vulnerable to the counter because their players are so much better their defence isn't used to being part of the game and all it takes is an opposition with a couple good runners and a couple good passers to make a deadly strike?

    Is that Christian Tello who played for Barca?

    Some players you see a huge price tag and you don't doubt it.

    Ooft how did Rafhina miss that? The backheel guy

    Yass, some brilliant play on show. After our game watched some of the English football today and was bored out my * *, so glad the Spanish footballs getting some coverage again.

    Hows the guy Perez playing, just cause theres no other wide players or forward or is he meant to be decent? reminds me of Sandro who played for them years ago, doesnt seem to be that good.

    He's been alright but most of the play has gone through Griezmann I think. He sometimes plays too deep but he's always lively.

    Now that I get a decent look at the replay, that wasn't even a pure counter, it was very well worked interception, Betis players were already up and at them. Poor from Busquets though.

    First La Liga game I've seen this season, have no idea about players. Fekir is a familiar name but can't mind who he played for.

    What's the story with Neymar? Think Barca will sign him? If they had Messi, Suarez, Griezmann and Neymar that would be an unprecedented attacking power.

    Thanks @jj81 Is that a move up or down? I know less about French football than Spanish.

    Oh wow

    Not mad about the glitter pish, who was it that pulled up Neymar and I think Alves when they started dancing? Was it Xavi who was like 'get a grip you two.' It's not really Barca's style to show off, Messi hasn't even done a step over.
