Napoli take the lead too! That group could be tasty.

Napoli 1-0 in the 90th minute!

Also that fucking Rakitic goal, I genuinely dreamt scoring that type of absurd goal as a child. The build up including that Messi clip, Suarez lay off and Coutinho acrobatically turning a mishit into that pass back

And then that outrageous fucking volley! Puskas contender, doubt there'll be another one coming close this season.

Doubt it will be even nominated for the Puskas.

It's a nice hit, but not particularly unique...certainly made the most of the opportunity but that's all.

Right. 😆

Want to put a bet on it?

I'm laughing not at that part of your post

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

The first highlights are of the full match they just showed us. Morons.

MistaT played down the Eder goal too. Which ones do you like chief?

jones

Every van Dijk goal that's for sure

By the way he was complete dogshit today. Bullied in the air by Milik and twisted on the ground by Insigne and Mertens. If it wasn't for Alisson and dumb luck Liverpool could've conceded four or five tonight, they've been outclassed by Napoli

The Rakitic goal for those who haven't seen it

It would've been an outrageous goal already had Coutinho smashed it in but him doing a blind Capoeira back pass and then Rakitic putting his foot through the ball like that while it's like a yard off the ground hitting the inside of the post.. "nice hit but that's all" 😆

jones

You know it's a special fucking goal when it's a foreign team against Tottenham and the English commentators are going crazy over it

The most impressive thing is how the ball is well above his waist when he puts the boot through it. You don't get a lot of players who'd attempt that.

So I see Arsene Wenger's Gabriel Paulista and Francis Coquelin are putting in Champions League masterclasses at the Theater of Dreams while Sven Mislintat's Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Lucas Torreira are preparing for their Europa League trip to Azerbaijan. Truly, there are levels to this shit.

Why isn’t this guy banned already?

When will Barcelona put Suarez out of his misery btw. He's a nothing player.

One of the best strikers in world football over the last ten years.....

How does Messi make everything he does look so unbelievably sexy? That pass looks like it just givers over the ground.

Not only is he the greatest forward of all time (joint with R9), he's the greatest DLP of all time too.

Yeah that's some Ibrahimovic type of cheek to try that

It also made thousands of Spurs fans go from wahey to fucking shtum in like three seconds

Messi was so good, another level compared to anyone else on the pitch. And to think this year he might not even make Top 3 in the World player of the year award. Arthur looked very impressive in the middle, another midget in midfield to run things!

Just watched the highlights to the Liverpool game, looks like Napoli dominated them. Ancelotti got his tactics spot on, don't think Liverpool even had a shot on target. Should bring them back down to earth.

Wonder what's up with Fabinho, has he even played a minute for Liverpool this season?

Ter Stegen has probably got the best distribution of any GK in the game but a dodgy shot stopper imo. He just doesn't get tested much because Barcelona always dominate possession.

Actually think he's a great shot stopper, pulls off some magnificent saves. It's much harder to look good for Barcelona than it is if you're playing for relegation clubs, like Butland was and De Gea is.

Regarding Rakitic’s goal....

First, Puskas wise my understanding is that they look at/nominate the top ten goals of the year. Not a chance that comes close, shit by end of October I doubt it will be one of the best five goals scored this month.

As for the goal, I don’t think much of the build up - which jones seems to have enjoyed/credited - as it didn’t come off. So I’m not giving the goal and special credit because Coutinho fluffed a volley and then blindly passed to the top of the eighteen.

Rakitic certainly hit it sweet, but he had the luxury of running onto it straight on for 10-15 yards. Just don’t think it’s that special of a goal.

lorddulaarsenal

Lloris looked tiny in goal. He’s a terrible keeper
