Barca draws Atletico de Madrid in CL quarters!

[vlad]

just relax, atletico cant do nothing against barcelona, barca´s strongest 11 will destroy atletico.

 

[amircule]

No, but we never kept a clean sheet either..

We did that not only once but twice.

 

[BarçaBarça]

Not sure if Bayern would have been worse, with their high line and Benatia and Kimich at the back we might had the same fun as last year. Atletico, on the other hand, will park the bus and if they manage not to get themselves sent off, they are very capable of grinding out 1-1 draw Camp Nou and then 0-0 draw at Calderon.

They would be worse - and I think Boateng will be back by then. As some have mentioned a two-legged tie would probably be better for us than a one-shot final against them, so it wouldn't be as bad to get them in the semis, as one might think at first.

Atletico are dangerous, but of course we can beat everybody right now if we keep focus. But it would surprise me if we manage to put this tie to bed in the first game.

What's important is that we've outscored them.

If Messi can manage his recent insane passing form, I think we can manage to put 3 past them at Camp Nou.

It is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL we beat them at Camp Nou and make them have to attack at the Calderon which will give MSN space to operate.

I don't see them beating us at Camp Nou but them getting a draw would be catastrophic. If they do draw at Camp Nou then we will be facing the mother of all buses at the Calderon.

There are not easy match in the CL final round, in 180 minutes anything can happen against any team.
Wolsburg better than ATM ? yes, it could be... last year Schalke 04 has almost won vs RM... last year we won vs stronger teams (all winners of their league)...

We will see.

it will be mother of all buses on camp nou also

Especially not a draw with goals.

it will be mother of all buses on camp nou also

That's a risky tactic if you don't score. One goal can come late in the game, and 1-0 for Barca is a good result. It's very hard to shut us down on Camp Nou. Atletico need to score in Barcelona to be effectively in the tie imo.

We're going to score at the Camp Nou, I think it's more than a fair assumption to make. We just can't concede and let them get a draw (or a very unlikely win).

It is an absolute must win game at Camp Nou.

Isn't it awesome that Atletico has the best defensive record in Europe and La Liga and everyone struggles to score against them specially Real Madrid yet we have a perfect record against them? Lucho never even got a draw against them. All were victories. Simply amazing.

If we draw vs Atletico at Camp Nou, we will lose the tie.

[KingMessi]

That's not how that works mate.

Mark my words put it in the hall of fame thread for all I care. If the first leg ends in a draw, Atletico is through.
