Champions League 12/13

Abit of cold? Won't make a difference unless the team is a bunch of pussies. Actually ifim honest barca isfull of pussies, a bitof a chill might scare them (rofl).Rarely any noise in that stadium anyway. Celtic park is one of the best atmospheres in Europe, and have given barca competition in every match played there despite having much less quality.

Scotland is cold in winter too

Are you saying this just because you've lived in Scotland?

This is one of Celtic's weakest teams in years, they're gonna get battered.

 

[Athletic]

City out in group stages again?

It also has something to do with Spartak being a much better team than Celtic right now, and Barca does in fact suck in the snow. This doesn't make them "pussies", it makes them football players who play in a Mediterranean climate where it doesn't snow often.

November 20 is still autumn in Moscow, right? Almost Indian summer?

Barca might not win all three away games, but it won't take starting the first 11 for all 6 games to get double figure points. The Scots can yell all they want, I don't think Barca will be afraid of any team from that league.

For the record Scotland reaches below 0 in November recently. And the game is on plastic pitch, barca style will not be affected. The only way they can lose there is. Bad game or "poor us, it's a bit cold" attitude, this is not like Kazan where the surface was poor

You really haven't been to Moscow in the winter, have you now?

Scottish winter's a piece of cake compared to the one in Northeastern Europe.

 

[Hamzah]

The winter shouldn't be a problem. Many sides worse than barca have gone there in winter and won comfortably

 

[xaviniesta]

And the game is on plastic pitch,

what you mean? artificial grass?

Ice and snow can make quite the difference

Care to elaborate on this with examples?

I'm too bloody lazy to do any research on the subject.

Burden of proof says hi.

The arrogance is hilarious.

This isn't a easy group at all. Celtic have built a good team of young players, Spartak and Benfica are very good teams as well. Barca will qualify but anyone expecting to walk it will be surprised.
