PBP: Copa del Rey | Semifinal 1st Leg | FC Barcelona v Valencia CF | 3 February 2016 [R]

And last year you had people talking about how Neymar didnt assist Suarez in any goals!!

 

The biter strikes

Feast on their flesh Suarez especially that inbred manc git Neville

 

Suarez brace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let''s wrap up this tie.

 

What a pass from busi to Vidal who gives the assist to Suarez second , 2-0

 

Busquets over the top to Vidal who pulls back to an un-marked Suarez who smashes in his 2nd one first time. Gorgeous.

 

2-0

Yes yes Suarez use them like a humping post

 

The Double Donkey!

Can we see a rout tonight so they can rest the second leg.

 

That's Piqué's second Copa booking this season. One away from Copa suspension.

 

What a siege..

Nothing is going Valencias way.. Everything bounces to Barcas favor...

 

MESSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3-0!

 

Exhibition football.

 

Neville must be thinking, "What would Sir Alex do right about now?"

He'd chew more gum.

 

Iniesta to Neymar first time half touch to Messi after Suarez dummies and draws defense Messi has an easy shot, great team goal.

EDIT - rewatching it looks like Suarez got a very slight touch on the ball, not just a dummy. Anyone see that? Here's a GIF: https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CaUSiUiW0AA8EnY.mp4

 

The real shame, given the score, is that we cannot sub on Masch now to get his third Copa Yellow and miss the 2nd leg which is starting to look like it may not be much of a match. ALSO a shame we cannot let Masch take any PK we might earn...

Edit: Suarez, however, does have 2 yellows, so he might want to pick up a 3rd, perhaps after scoring a 3rd.

We could have Pique pick up his 2nd yellow and then he'd miss the next match due to red, but would that re-set his yellow card count (or would he remain on 2?), if not there's no point.

 

Nothing is going Valencias way.. Everything bounces to Barcas favor...

Neymars been excellent.. Hope he gets one.

 

694982858864246785 is not a valid tweet id

 

MSN so far this season: 22-33-21 goals (76 total) out of 101 goals total goals. Ton of assists too.

Messi's on 499 goals for his career now.

EDIT and Messi just blows #500 against the woodwork.

 

In Liga, two yellows in the same match would re-set the accumulation count to the number he entered the game with.
So Pique would likely go back to one yellow, two more for suspension.

 

It should reset but in this case it won't matter as Pique will miss the second leg of the semifinal with only the final left.

But unless the Spanish Federation has idiotic rules at 3 yellow cards they will reset

 

You need to remember that MATS is playing the Copa games , Valencia could easily get 4 goals in the away game

 

More

I want more

 

******** Messi hits bar.. What a chance..

 

Oh come on.

The red wasn't necesssary

 

Penalty and straight red for Mustafi!

 

Who's taking the pk? I guess Messi
