Champions League Quarter Final Games 12-15th August

Absolutely pathetic from Barca, downing tools at the end it seemed. No way Bayern will have such luck if they come up against us in the semi.

You can rest easy knowing that no matter how many of you on here think your fight is hopeless, your team won't read any of it and will step on the pitch to fight it all the way. And no matter how many of you think you shouldn't be very concerned after all, your team won't read any of it and will never underestimate the match they're gonna face.

They are "skint" because they pay astronomical wages for players who won't be on their wage bill if they rebuild.

Messi alone gets 100 M with all his bonuses and clauses. They will definitely have money but they need to let those players go first.

Messi brings in a massive amount in sponsorship money and other things. I think he basically pays for himself, maybe not all, but still a huge amount of his wage.

I'll bet Bayern wish they'd saved that performance for the semi-final. Difficult to reproduce that against anyone, let alone a team that won't throw in the towel with half-an-hour to go.

You must not know German teams.

Did he kill himself?

kamikaze style

I’ll give you 3 positives..

1) That was more a reflection of Barca’s utter ineptitude rather than Munich’s quality

2) They’ve used up all their goals

3) They’ll now be overconfident

But let’s beat Lyon first then worry about them

Haha, I like that...used up all their goals!

I agree, I can’t explain it. They are playing like City in the Centurions season and look unstoppable. How long has Hansi Flick been in charge?

To be honest, momentum and goals do that. Put a wind in your sails, and you feel unstoppable and play freely. Also, some of their players are athletic beasts.

True, but also Messi was terrible tonight as well.

Of course he was. They had no possession, he was surround by 4+ players the moment he got the ball with no one around him, there were no runners on the wings to pass to.

It's like when people criticise our striker when we just bombard crosses into the box and nothing happens...what did you expect? It's a 5'9'' guy surrounded by 5 defenders and a keeper with no support.

 

[blueparrot]

They play such a high line they are definitely beatable. Barca were piss poor tonight.

Not sure they’d risk such a high line even woth a high press we have Ederson to ping balls over it in a way nobody else they have come across do.

Barca have n't learnt anything from the capitulation at the Dippers last season. Utter disgrace.
