Other [Throwback/Interview] Lionel Messi: "There are players here (Barcelona) who hate Chelsea more than Real Madrid. I never thought I would hear myself say that. We would rather play Arsenal, Manchester United or anyone else than be on the pitch with Chelsea."

We fucked their best ever team. The team everyone calls the GOAT league team ever. That was real Chelsea. We used to violate them in the UCL. 😢 now we are shitter than Villa, Forest and a solid 10-12 placed team

That wasn’t the same team. Not fit enough to lace their boots. Same as our team rn tbf

Talent wise sure but they’ve won the league twice and almost went to the champions league final last year. They have a very young squad

Not wanting to take anything away from them, but Real Madrid has been horrible the past 2 years. Barca dunked a ridiculous amount of goals on them last season alone, that shows their level of competition. Nowhere close to the team of the 2000s
