Lass Diarra lost his job that day

Pessi🤮🤮🤮

6:58 The Man's The Magician 🪄 🐐

Xavi, the maestro!

This is why messi has so many assists alongside his goals. The false 9 position. And only Messi can play in that position. He can give the right pass at the right time, and dribble past the defenders and score the goal by himself. Genius.🎉

This is why I love Barcelona and Messi. Madrid always had great players and they are the best club in football history, I have to admit. But Barca made me fall in love with its tactical and beautiful football. For me, the legacy of Barca is beyond UCLs and league titles and no matter how how hard the time is, I'll always support Barcelona. ❤️💙❤️💙

❤❤❤❤❤❤

xavi doing box-to-box midfielding better than any other while people think of him as a passer defensive central.

O giro do Xavi no segundo gol do Messi é coisa de outro mundo, gênio absoluto.

So Eto has to defend instead of Messi

The false was created for one simple reason. Messi was waiting for the ball like a number 9 but when the counterattack started he was so slow that he became a midfielder, and when all the team was near the box Messi again was a normal number 9. Passing is easier than scoring for this reason Ronaldo has 5 UCL and Messi 3 UCL

Mertesacker was never a madrid player??? Why is he in the lineup?

Xavi so good he transcended sports. He invented the 360 no scope right there and csgo players have been using it since then.

Man Sanchez would have been wonderful at Arsenal now. He was phenomenal when he joined us, wish we could get that quality now. Would have been an awesome cover for Saka or better.

Xavi will torment your midfield,

This helped me so much to understand false 9s and how Messi is literally the best at the position, he gets the ball deep and creates space for runs, he also drives the ball up to push the offside line back

10:11 the commentator said" you can't criticise him for going solo. Its a joy to watch " 😂

Is this also counted as one of his 800 and something goals???

Xavi always played like he already knows the script or the match. What a master of the game

06:43 it is not Mertesacker, it is Christoph Metzelder

Xavi inesta Messi busquets 😢 I miss it so much

Messi makes me so emotional watching him 😢 Maradona was my idol in the 80s,and now my 5year old son is a Messi crazy child 😮as a father I love it 🥰

Perfect football

beauty

Iniesta, still underated to this day.

Xavi, messi, both 10/10 Henry 9.7 eto 9 iniesta 8.9 i mean props to guardiola as well. He just pushes his players to have class through and through their games. And tbh thid match casillas and cannavaro were amazing. Barca was just way to creative.

Stats wont talk about the positional plays

Ill become a ronaldo fan when he plays like this, actively playmaking, asaisting his teammates

Messi the great player ⚽️⚽️⚽️🐱

I wanna see football played by pro without coach. Let them exhibit what they got. Really want to see what happens.

what did this match change the football into?

You lot have got to learn the difference between horizontal and vertical, there is also a diagonal plane but playing a ball down the centre isn’t, in any way, a verticle ball, a ball played in the vertical plane is UP!

Pelé played as a “false 9” even in the 50’s, but BEHOLD! most of the world only found out what it was when Messi was put to that function.

Pep Guardiola 😷 what words should I use ,( reluctant )

Sergio Ramos that day*: qseyo toy re loco

real number 9 only luis suarez

I first learned false 9 , just yesterday, by watching ted lasso

Love2015

As Madridista, I still remember this match. Was 10 back then, wasn't much well versed with the strategies and stuff so couldn't fully appreciate the tactical brilliance of Pep back then. But all things aside, it has to be one of the most pain staking yet beautiful matches for me.

Poor Ramos

cuando Messi y Guardiola se juntaron

Just thinking the game was at the Santiago Bernabeu

Even here you can see how guardiola wanted to deploy messi, but messi was just too good... his understanding of the game is unrivalled, the only guy who can come close to messi's understanding is Johan Cruyff

Xavii😢😢

This was more than playing football.... There was a tactical software behind the movements for spaces and scoring opportunities.......

La cantidad de veces que Messi quedaba sin marca o generaba espacios por jalar marcas con solo estar cambiando de posición unos 2 a 5 metros. Nadie sabía quién lo tenía que marcar. Guardiola es un genio.

Ah yes mertesacker real madrid legend
