Right lads. I'm off to bed. Enjoy the post game cunt offs and the ripping of Levy, Poch, individual players and the pitch to bits. 
See you all tomorrow and then we focus on Cardiff.

We’re both John. Don’t buy players, don’t win trophies. Time for you to fuck off eh?
Ok but as a team overall we matched them and the result would have been in the balance without Messi
Hugo’s howler in the second minute didn’t help though ably assisted by Trippier
I take it you're referring to me again, chapNo surprise the same people going off about the result are the ones saying we had no chance coming into the game.
Very strange, defeatist attitude for our fans to take. Lets just hope Poch and players don't feel that way then, eh.
I think we can beat them. Not saying we will or we're favourites, but in a one off game, in front of 80,000 yids, I'd say we have a chance.
Fair enough!
Hilarious comeback Mike. I’m a bit miffed you got so clever.
I've just seen the replay of the first goal from the opposite angle to where I was sat. Good christ, what was Hugo doing?!
I like Winks a lot and think he has the potential to improve a great deal with regular play. He could either never quite reach his potential or be bloody brilliant. Fingers crossed for the second one.
Just got home. Thoroughly enjoyed that, if you didn't for whatever reason I don't think football is for you regardless of the result.
Sometimes you've gotta hold your hands up and say you were beaten by a much better team. Vintage Barcelona or not I still thought they were excellent, Messi obviously but also the little tosser Suarez, Rakitic etc were class.
I do think Dembele would have been the most useful missing player today. We gave it away so much in the first half we could have used his wise shoulders to help calm things down and retain possession.
Thought Winksy started poorly but grew into the game, and it's the sort of match which will only help his development as a player. One of the highlights of the match for me was his tracking back and amazing tackle on Messi.
Great atmosphere tonight, especially in the periods after our goals. Constant standing as well, which I've never experienced at Wembley before. One bizarre incident where a bloke wearing a Madrid shirt kept yelling abuse at Pique and got in a bit of a scrap with a bloke telling him to pipe down, anyone see that?

The trouble with Dier is that he is often the one who needs the most yelling at- he'd mostly just be yelling at himself.
He can't be considered that player when his performance as a CM is so poor.
As a RCB, I can absolutely see it though.
Actually no, shockingly, some of the others.
I disagree with you 90% of the time and think you’ve wanked yourself stupid on some matters relating to Spurs, but you support the club.
Don’t worry John, I’ve had no problem directly pushing back on you before, and vice versa. No need to guess.
Promise? And if you still think Alderwield is a ‘world class defender’ I don’t really hold up much hope for you as much of a judge. In fact I think you just ramble on about bollocks.Ok mate. Tattybye.
ochbye:
I think they had many good players but I can see why Poch said what he said, the team needs confidence and belief and saying that only the GOAT was the difference between us an elite team certainly helps.
Also whilst Barca were very good all over the pitch, most of their dangerous play went through Messi so he's not technically wrong.

Harry Winks is 22 and has played against Real Madrid and Barcelona for Tottenham.
For contrast, at 22, Luka Modric was still at Dinamo Zagreb.

Ok mate. Tattybye.
"Look out kids, Dad's been drinking again!"
Messi redefines positional play. He was everywhere. Taking it off the right back, taking off the left back, taking it off Busquets, taking it off Coutinho and scoring twice.
Insane.
That's a funny for ''yelling at himself''.
Fuck off with sensibly putting things into context.
Wrong forum for that.
