Valencia vs Barcelona – 9.21.11
“Beautifully released by Lionel Messi. Mathieu is all over Lionel but he can still measure it to split millimeter perfection on the run under pressure – means nothing to him. Still another red carpet pass.”
“Pep Guardiola keeping the ex-Valencia man, David Villa, sat on the bench twitching like a greyhound to get out of the traps.”
“Virtually runs into the Barcelona players more than anything. And goes lubbly jubbly upside down.” (Adil Rami)
“And this has upset the apple cart!” (Abidal’s own goal)
“Smooth finish. Smoother than an eight-ball. And Pedro smacks it bottom corner! Strap yourselves in, we’re in for a cracker.”
“Wonderful cover by captain tarzan. Comes across – the big insurance policy that he always is.” (Puyol)
“The poor man who’s wearing big goat horns is Eric Abidal.”
“Down that left side again man. They’re attacking like Dracula attacks a plate of liver. They’re feasting on it down there.”
“That’s a great ball in from Thiago Alcantara. And usually that’s magnetized by Messi.”
“Bad pass. He wins it beautifully Fabregas. But he could have led the pass into that cow’s field bad behind Miguel.”
“Dani Alves still able to throw the lasso around [Piatti].”
“We’re just had two eclipses of the sun tonight.”
“Messi is mesmerizing – just bamboozles the entire defense.”
