^
problem is he may even miss the final of cwc!
but I doubt it because last time he missed the whole tournament as well in 2006 and now he will do everything to play at least the final
Bojan can be used agaist the mexican team but using him in the final is a risk. pedro should start imo.

i dont know y, but i just like Bojan so much more than Pedro... i would srsly consider playing Bojan even in the finals

hahah even guardiola admits messiah always saves barcas ass:
Pep Guardiola Highlights Messi's Influence On Barcelona Squad
Barca coach Guardiola has praised the Ballon d'Or winner for his importance to the side...
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola had nothing but praise for Argentine starlet Lionel Messi following Barca's 2-1 victory over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League.
With the score tied at 1-1 in the 86th minute, Messi blasted home a free kick from just outside the area to give his side the win and secure the top spot in Group F. "It is true that when in certain situations like the one we were in, Leo's influence is very important for us", commented the Barcelona coach, who also praised his team for their effort in finishing atop a "terribly difficult group."
Once concern for Guardiola was the sight of Messi limping off the pitch with an ankle sprain. The Ballon d'Or winner is now a doubt for the Barcelona derby against Espanyol at the Camp Nou on Saturday.

you dont take what players say about each other seriously... you still didnt know that? they always exaggerate and over compliment each other. but in this situation guardiola clearly said the political correct way of "he saves our asses." this is significant because coaches always downplay the influence of an individual player.

not all coaches, most do but I find Pep to be very honest and up-front concerning his team situation. plus Guardiola would be a fool to downplay Messi's influence, he's the best in the world!!

lol at you not listening to what other players say. so what if they are complimentary of each other... he could have just said Ronaldo is a great player, and we are going to miss him. but no, he said Real Madrid are going to have to try to function the same without him. at the end of the day its not the coach playing and training on the field, its the players, so they know best the influence and talent of the teamates around them. if what players said was insignificant then why do we interview them or even care to read about their opinions?

Lucky win for Barcelona today. It wasn't even penalty you got.

[Sumerian]

True. However, that wasn't an intentional fall by Xavi...he lost his balance and the ref called it a PK.

[milad]

hahahaha without messiahs individual existence on the pitch barca are screwed! couldnt even beat espanyol at home without the refs help! PATHETIC!
