Huh? Didn't we schooled Tottenham 4-2 and then drew with them with our 2nd team?

Roma just lost to Lazio 3-0 last weekend too.

We need to think about getting past Lyon first before thinking about other opponents. The last time I did that Roma happened :facepalm:

I literally had my feet up for the first part of that game thinking "I wonder who we'll get in the semi's" :lol:

Lyon, then Tottenham, Roma, or even Ajax next pls. PSG wouldn't be bad either.

the only team I actually fear left in the CL (if all goes to plan next week vs Juve) is Atleti

City have the quality to fuck us but in Europe + peps away record at the camp nou? nah

I was a bit sarcastic with thinking on roma last year, but the truth is barca doesnt give you that sense of security when they are facing opponents which are level below them, just recently, you cant let lyon going without conceded goal on camp nou in k. o. match and away goal rule

They did 3 times in a row, lost best player, coach who lead them to 2cls and la liga, aged squad which gave their best and clicked in the right moment. Taking nothing from ajax, but this madrid team is done and dusted waited for this to happen, didnt think that would be ajax of all teams, but they did it

If bayern were any good at finishing last year they would have gone out easily. Real were the best team in Europe in 2017. All the other years they got the luck you need to win cups in spades. It wasn't a massive surprise to me tonight. On many occasions over the last few years real have performed terrible at home mostly due to them not been able to handle the pressure of their fans

Exactly. We know how Valverde approaches these games. There's a good chance we will make company with Real. Focus 100% on Lyon game.

Further, a problem for TikiTaka teams are NOT teams like Real, but teams like Atletico, Juventus, Liverpool, Bayern, physically stronger teams.

Light Barca usually wins against Real, or against Porto, Arsenal and other technical teams with a lighter physique.
But we lose against ANY physical team in a CL

We beat both bayern and juve in 2015. We beat atletico constantly in the league and that would be no different if those champions league games came at better times. The last time we got knocked out by atletico and juve msn were just back from tough conmebol world cup qualifiers. Normally we would beat both those teams more often than not
