Barca draws Atletico de Madrid in CL quarters!

[vlad]

atletico in last 2 matches in la liga scored goal first, that would be bad if happens in CL, especially at camp nou, they were great in last match on camp nou



before barca in CL they have betis at home, and barca have real... haha what a week that will be

la liga is far from over. Atletico's schedule has only one potentially difficult game in Athletic away. We have 4 or 5 !! We'll hopefully win the la liga , but we won't be able to rest the players as we hoped for, which will affect the CL.

Atletico are 8 points behind (and behind on head to head) with just 9 games left they hardly going to be able to rest players as to win the league they will probably need to win every game.

Messi is licking his chops somewhere...loves scoring against Atletico

On the other hand, if we play amazing in the Clasico we will enter the Atletico game all pumped up.

Atletico play in the league as well. And they are even more in need of points than us.

We will play Villarreal away ,then most of our players will go for international duties .then Classico .then A.Madrid at home .then R.Sociedad away ,then A.Madrid away
This is the last tough period of the season for us .if we get a "full mark" then Liga is over .we can go to SF with rested player in Liga
But we could also lose it all there ,we could easily lose 4-5 points and get beaten by A.Madrid .
Will be interesting few weeks

Winning against Atletico at home is more important than winning the Clasico right now since the league is relatively more secure than the CL.

The key is to not only win the first leg but also not concede. Then in the second leg we need to just score away goals if we can.

Eh, could've been worse, could've been better.

Kind of crazy to think that both Atletico and Bayern were inches away from going out but there's a good possibility we're going to need to beat them both to win it all.

God help us that we don't get infected with the FIFA virus. Please no injuries from next week.

Atletico have trouble scoring, we just need to not concede at home, so basically keep Griezmann quiet.
Then away we score and they need 3+ goals all of a sudden.

Of course easier said than done..

Honestly ,I have only rated Bayern as worse opponent for us .
May be PSG too .but this is close call .but Benfica,City,Wolfsburg,RM were all much better draw IMHO .

Will Godin be back before the first leg?
