Outstanding again. Whilst City’s spending is ridiculous I would quite like to see him in the Premier League.

Courtois nutmegged twice by Messi. Bad goalkeeping or just Messi's genius?

Courtois is too tall and lanky to be a good keeper - its like watching bambi trying to stop a ball between his legs

Difficult to blame Courtois for me. I'd say it's down to Messi's genius.

Goalkeeping howler, just because it's Messi doesn't mean it's genius, if Hart had done that he'd be ridiculed.

Not seen the goals yet but come on, to say that Courtois is not even a good goalkeer is fanciful. Courtois is a bloody good goalkeeper.

I doubt he'd be playing for Chelsea if he wasn't a good goalkeeper, nor Belgium for that matter!

He is, and it was shocking goalkeeping. Wonder what his national manager thought of his performance at the big stage.

Why does everything have to be analysed and criticised these days? Why cant people just compliment good play and good goals?

I loathe Chelsea, but you're right. Thought they were excellent, just up against a great team.

I don’t think I’d feel too bad about being nutmegged by the greatest player to ever play the game.

I just watched the goals again, and although you could criticize Courtois for Messi's first, there's no goalkeeper in the world would've stopped his second (apart from our own Nick Pope of course).
