Without Messi's goals, Barca would be fifth with 61 points

what's all this end of an era and found out talk about barcelona? said it after the first leg, they've just been soundly beaten by a better team over the two legs. If they were found out then they wouldn't be in the champions league semi final - same reason applies to the end of an era talk. They have probably the greatest player of all time in their squad who hasn't been fit for this tie, he can single handedly beat the best teams in the world, by no means end of an era. i doubt they're skint and aren't going to replace the older heads.
madrid lost by a similar margin to a team 20 points worse off than bayern, nobody was saying end of an era for them.
united lost 6-1 at home to city last year, nobody said end of an era then.

Without Phil Neville, Everton would be 3rd.

Yeah. Just looked it up.
Couldn't recall it. So yeah.
Barca have never scored past us.

it was my fault this time, but i just don't like slander...if unchallenged it can cause people to believe something that isn't true (much like how most people believe Julian Assange is an attention-seeker, when he has always been the opposite).

Barca of 2 years a go would have thrashed this barca side around 8-0

I think also though there's a sheen of invincibility that's been scraped right through. The veneer of champions has gone from them now and that's hard to get back.

All I meant was that people were talking about them being a one man team. Which they seemingly are.
We have a squad of players, all of whom have made mistakes this season. If Jelavic could hit a barn door we'd third.

Even without his injury, they dont play him enough or in the right position and have spent most of the season trying to sell him.
I think the era in question is the one of Barca's domination outside of Spain
I'm sure they'll win La Liga next season, but then again I'm sure Celtic will win the SPL. I don;t think either side will win the CL next year. It's going to be the German sides and the rejuvenated Italian sides for the next few years. Spanish and English on the way down I reckon

going to be a great final no matter what, but bayern can **** right off if they think they're going to win it this year when i have no money on them, instead of losing last year in the most one sided of finals, when i would have won hundreds.
i also win money if dortmund win, 'koff paddy power

But he was a success prior to breaking his leg.

suppose, but this is a right kick up the arse for barca, of course it's an end of an era in a way. But now they realise they're miles off bayern, so they may go out and spunk a shedload of cash on the world's best players. They could become irresistable by doing that and all of a sudden their invincibility will be back.
