Champions League 2024-25

[Barcaman]

Barca in, Madrid out. Another good evening for cules

 

[serghei]

We didn't look gassed at all vs Dortmund a week ago. Let's wait and see. 2 weeks until the first leg and two home games in which we must rotate and bring in other players.

 

[Birdy]

Complete vindication of the new format!

Top4 in the group stage are in the Semis, apart from Pool

Now compare this to the old 'luck of draw'

PSG very nearly collapsed from a 4 goal lead v Villa.

xg wise they didn't, it was 2.05 to PSG's 1.69

 

[Barcelonista10]

It's a hard truth.
Part of the reason I think the team is super gassed in general. We can't pressure with intensity right now, and that kills us

I pray we manage to at least get LL and Copa

Madrid losing la liga points is an absolute must so we can proceed to the necessary resting rotations.
Bilbao🤞🤞🤞

When the knockout draw was made we were talking about Barca facing Liverpool not until the 1/2 final and Real Madrid - the final in Munich.

I will not predict anything, the final 4 of CL is very much balanced and when you look closer it's 3/4 BarcaDNA, something Barca should be proud of.

People massively over exaggerate the ability of teams based on names on paper and the clubs history. Anyone can beat anyone on their night. Especially at their home stadium.

It is factual they nearly did.. couldnt care less what xG said and PSG had scored two anyway as part of the point.

It's great that Rodrygo Vini and Mbappe are all short and terrible headers of the ball. Back when they had Ronaldo, Bale, and Benzema, many of their goals came off crosses or from the chaos that ensued from the crosses. They were a cross and inshallah team but now they have no one to cross to after Josulu went out. Endrick and Brahim are also dwarves. I hope they don't get taller players in attack

 

[serghei]

Need to finish off Madrid in the league and the Cup. And then throw the sink at Inter. If we fail in CL at least we can be proud we gave everything and it's still a great season.

We have nothing to lose imo in CL. Did our job, best result in the last 6 years, now we just have to give it a real go and whatever happens happens.

Won't be a problem if they get a proper coach for the first time in many years. Zidane and Carlo both deploying the cross and inshallah tactics.

True

 

[serghei]

Not sure they thought it through. For me, Vinicius, Mbappe, and Bellingham don't mix well. Seems like they sign top class players and thought individual quality is enough to make them gel but so far it ain't.

Copa win could break their back. Let's do it..

Unfortunately we play Madrid late in the league, so we can't really finish them off just now.
Perhaps morally with Copa. But I think they will rack wins in the league with nothing to play for.
