So we play Arsenal in the final.
Messi scored his 400th goal for Barcelona earlier. It was Messi's 278th league goal for the Primera Division leaders, with a further 75 coming in the Champions League, 32 in the Copa Del Rey, 10 in the Spanish Super Cup, four in the Club World Cup as well as one strike in the UEFA Super Cup. He doesn't turn 28 for another couple of months!
We will miss Messi's talent (and Ronaldo) but James just scored a pretty amazing goal, again. I think he could be the next big thing after those gents move on.

I agree, he's a special talent, not quite on the Messi level but he'll be as good as Ronaldo in a year or 2.I now firmly believe Messi is the best player of all time, it's easy to get all misty-eyed about the likes of Pele, etc but Messi has done it at the ery top level of club football for his entire career.

He was the best player in the best team I have ever seen (Pep's Barca). It wasn't just the fact that they won, but they did it by dominating the opposition in all areas. I will also note another positive for Messi is that unlike many other great players (and his barca teammates) I have never seen him cheat or dive.
Maradona is the best player who ever lived ---- FACT
Wenger as gracious as ever. The vinegar faced old twat.
