theres no second leg his there a better foward 3 than suarez messi neymar

[Pies4shaw]

Suarez is a despicable little fellow. I hated watching him writhing on the ground pretending to be injured, wasting time towards the end of the game - I got the feeling his own Manager subbed him out because he was too embarrassed to watch anymore of it. It's hard to stop wishing that he does get seriously injured.

Neymar is a wimp - he's clever but he gets pushed off the ball by full-sized players. Pity that Juve didn't have enough.

Messi is OK, although he's probably not quick enough for the position he plays.
