Nagelsmann currently look exposed. Kinda good in hindsight we didn't get him as he was rumored to be Laporta's first choice.

Wasn't that Flick?

If Barca played like Bayern today they would lose 6-1. I can't believe Bayerns luck And lack of finishing from Villa. Super annoyed now.. Villa should have killed this tie right here.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

OMG should be 5-0 Villarreal

True.. shocking finishing and Bayern totally naive. Have they heard of defense???

Bayern are probably wondering why there are no 50 meters of free space on the opponent's half after spanking the adventurous BL teams obsessed with reckless pressing.

This team did not look ready today. Lack of competition and tactically astute teams (other than gegenpressing maniacs, there is not much variety) in the BL really hurts them. They don't meet quality opposition often, and were caught surprised.

A common theme for Bayern really.

Exactly. Well said.

Even if Bayern advance, if they play like this against Liverpool, they could get humiliated.

If Bayern goes through are they playing Liverpool?

Yes.

Liverpool will make the final IMO. Best team in the competition right now probably. Bad for us if they win.

Lukaku the definition of system player.

An absolute trash player whom Conte managed to look decent in Italy.

He is more of a league player. Italian league tend to make players look good..

During Laporta's campaign the name being talked about was Nagelsmann but Bayern then hired him pretty much right after Laporta won the elections, or maybe it was just before.

He tried to get Flick in the summer but he had already committed to Germany then.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Yes.

Liverpool will make the final IMO. Best team in the competition right now probably.

Okay. Liverpool should win fairly comfortably.

 

[Devils]

Villareal is gonna regret missing all those chances.

Bayern will take it in the second leg, unfortunately.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Emery is firmly a tier B manager. Very good, up there with Ten Hag, Pochettino and others.

He is better than those two. Emery has actually won things and made records.

 

[DonAK]

If Villarreal can survive the opening 20 minutes in Munich they have a very good chance IMO.

Because Bayern will start pushing higher and higher and play with a nearly suicidal high line. Could be a lot of opportunities for a goal.

No top club is taking Emery ahead of Poch or Ten Hag.

This forum is carried away by results so easily.
It's half-time, there is 2nd leg to be played, and the better teams the whole season have more than good chance to turn it around.
Just as most here were quick to consider PSG through after the 1st leg, despite being the worse team overall in the season, and they took a huge L in the return leg

Bayern will go through in the 2nd leg. Nagelsman seems he approach 1st legs away carelessly, drew even Salzburg
Chelsea have all the credential to turn it around as well. They were an unrecognizable mess in the 1st half, but showed improvement already in the 2nd half.

Our amigos probably gave them a distorted a view of La Liga
