Great result, would have been fine with a draw though. However I feel that Ozil and Benzema spent too long on the pitch. Benz looked injured after 65 minutes and Ozil always needs to be taken off ASAP and we'll need them to be fit and fresh if we want to beat Bayern.
This season Ronaldo has developed incredibly as a player. Up until very recently Ronaldo had more assists than Messi (normally the reason people give for Messi being better). The main reason for Barcelona being so far off us is because of Messi's form away from home. Ronaldo has been setting numerous records because he can score home and away, 21 goals at home, 21 goals away, but Messi has struggled, with 15 goals less away from home.
People will see that Messi has 9 goals more than Ronaldo and assume that he is 9 goals better. However Ronaldo has more to deal with and Messi has played in more competitions than Ronaldo so he's had more opportunities. Overall this season I would say that Ronaldo has been slightly more impressive than Messi with the only chance of Messi winning WPOTY being because of a Champions League. But after that Sneijder farce I wouldn't be surprised if Messi won it even after being out injured for a whole season.
Hopefully Chelsea go to Camp Nou (without our tactics) and complete the ending of this Barca era. Started with Chelsea '09 and finishes with Chelsea '12

Messi has set how many new records this year? Of course he would deserve it.
Off the top of my head I can only think of 2. Barcelona all time record goalscorer and 5 goals in a Champions League match. Although that second one was from the most embarrasing team I can remember in Champions League football.

Ronaldo isn't better than Messi and Real Madrid aren't better then Barcelona. A couple of losses changes nothing...Barcelona could still end the season with 5 trophies ![]()

The discussion wasn't whether Ronaldo was better than Messi but who had been the better player this season.
I don't disagree that we haven't proven ourselves enough to claim that we are better than Barcelona but I would believe that we are if we win the Champions League. What I would say is that the last week has severly damaged their invinceable aura.
As great as Messi is, his selfishness is the main reason for Barcelona's downfall.

Most goals ever in a champions League campaign.
First player to score 60 in a European season since Gerd Muller in the early 70s.
Youngest player to have scored 50 in the Champions League
