Should be a stroll in the park for Barca

Why would they put this at the same time as the Heerenveen match? Not even going to bother.

An official game finally.

Krychowiak looks suspicious at CB.

We'll see.

lol that opening ceremony is creepy af

Lmao at the barca wall, how about jump the next time?

Calma Messi and Suarez will score a brace each

Holy shit Messi

2 wonder freekicks

One goal stolen by UEFA from barca.

which one?

Suarez goal which was probably yard onside.

Conspiracy against Barcelona, hence why they are the most successful team over the last decade.

Lol barca football reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite animes, describing an 'ultimate' attack: Even if you avoid the fangs of the dragon its gusting winds will pull you in, and the claws will tear you to shreds

Rurouni Kenshin?

Good catch

Nobody's talking about conspiracy. Just a massive error from the linesman, Suarez was over a meter onside.

Jibers butthurt much?

Way too easy.

Tremoulinas
