Emotions are obviously running high and whilst the score line is disappointing but to play over 30 mins with 10 men againsgt one of the most accomplished set of experienced seasoned European players probably ever assembled into one side, i thought we played with heart, courage and bravery. Im proud of the guys tonight. Its easy to slag off Mdm, but i didnt hear many people moaning about him in the pre match build up. He was a gamble to buy, and due to injuries and lack of form, he has played more than what pellergrini ever thought he would have to play him i suspect. Christ lads, this barca side have been together for almost a decade and have won eveything multiple times. They know how to play in Europe. They know how to play the refs. They are clever and experienced. But with 11 men each i thought we looked comfortable tonight. Shame about the sending off though, would have made interesting viewing 11 v 11.
I really do think we can still salvage this tie. We have nothing to lose second leg and with hopefully Sergio fit for that and samir and fernandino with a few more games under their belts, we can go out there and shock the world! 3-0 away win anybody?
