Barca will play the 2nd leg?

Oh, see what nerves and 4 am do for me. Will correct. Thanks.

How fast did Kevin's strike travel - 80mph maybe? Take your ball to the park and boot it as hard as you can and watch how it can take an age to travel 25 yards. Then come home and watch the replay of Kev's rocket powered shot - all timing, precision and elegance.

To be fair, Vinicius Jr's shot was quite the rocket also

Again amazing performance by Rodri.

Not much energy wasted ? Rodri looked like a shell of himself in the post match interview and Jack said he had cramp in both calves towards the end. The whole team put an immense shift in tonight

Oh no, not his big beautiful calves!

Don't underestimate the opposition or the refs.

FFS We thought we'd beat Chelsea and the ref didn't even give Rudiger a red for smashing KDB's skull.

No yellow for trying to doing the same with Gundo.

Didn't even blow for a foul

Great result in a tough stadium. First leg was about avoiding defeat and getting them back to our place, where we’ve been fantastic recently. Big atmosphere and hopefully another performance like last year where we made them look ordinary…

The ball was out of play really?

 

[Keeper!]

There is an insane stat: Pep has never lost a 2-leg knockout when he has drawn the first game. Even more insane of all the 2-leg knockouts he's had (57 in total), he has only been eliminated once whenever there was a draw in any of the 2 games (2012 vs Chelsea they drew the 2nd leg 2-2 at Camp Nou).

Stats are killing the beautiful game.

The game will be won out on the pitch, should be a magnificent game, two brilliant sides and all to play for.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE Madrid, they are top quality and we will have to be at our best on and off the pitch to get over the line.

If you aren't prepared to scream for everything and intimidate fuck out of the ref next week, sell your ticket to someone who will. These dirty cunts need hounding.

Yup

I’ve tried that. Mute reduces the stress levels tenfold when you’re watching doesn’t it?!

It also helps if you're in a bar in Protaras and the commentary is competing with a fake Rod Stewart on stage.
