In the first leg and could have scored 7 goals
Against US!? and did u ever wonder that they played

Do people really believe clubs go into the most important matches of the season thinking 'we'll just jog around, play like it's a friendly, we're already up'?

 

[Horatio]

The craziest thing about the whole second leg-PSG is that NO ONE has criticized Pochettino for this style of play lol. It's always 'they' but never has coach been singled out. Pochettino did the same stuff with Tottenham. My guess is because to some he is still a viable option as a coach for Barca in the future thus he will escape criticism lol.

 

[El Gato]

IMO he will escape it not because he's got the nice guy tag or he might coach Barcelona, but because he's there for ~1.5 years by design. Took him at least a year before his Spurs started playing half decent football.

You should check what Verrari said:
?We were talking today, when you win the first leg 4-1, the second leg is always a little strange. You want to defend well, but Barcelona are so good in possession and are the perfect side for that. They tire you out so there?s nothing left when you do get on the ball and we were unable to counter the way we wanted to."

Did bayern play there second leg match the same way
They played there first leg match!? Beside PSG
Did shut us down in the second half didn't they!?

Barca's last CL KO, LFC(won confrotably), Bayern (sextuple team), PSG/Bayern(had they qualified)

Madrid's : Ajax, City(which was not a big deal in CL ever under Pep till now) and a crippled LFC of ~30 points behind City.

This is just embarrassing. Especially the bit about city.

I don't think they played the same, but whatever they tried to play didn't work in the first half. And that's surely not due to the attitude 'we'll go easy on them'.

The better team would've punished them.

It's normal it didn't continue in the 2nd half.

Yeah, you speak of them like they were Bayern in CL, this is embarrassing indeed.

So the fact that they aren't as good as Bayern makes them an " easy draw" for the second round? as opposed to what? drawing a Neymarless PSG that's struggling in Ligue 1 behind mighty Lille? Or drawing Napoli last year?

Seems like in your world, anything short of Madrid drawing the hardest possible opponent at the earliest stage possible is " luck ".

Ofc avoiding City, PSG and Bayern is an easy draw while getting such a Liverpool instead. Barca had been able to get past PSG would've gotten again, at first occasion Bayern, the sextuple team, while Madrid not only avoids them but gets to avoid those big teams unitl the final if they reach it. If this isn't luck, in your world it must be bad luck than, ok

It was the same under Tuchel so people only praise the qualification with that 5-2 scoreline.

You have to remember that to qualify first from their group, PSG had a very very lucky win at home against Leipzig and were close to concede a second goal with the open goal miss of Martial and the Cavani lob hitting the crossbar.

In a way, this 4-1 win in the first leg is far beyond what PSG had produced this season so far.

You just said City was an "easy draw" when Madrid faced them just last summer. Now Madrid is lucky for avoiding them? it's like opponents become "easy" the moment Madrid draws them or something. Insanity. Getting lucky is facing Porto or Dortmund, not fcking Liverpool.

And all you had to do was finish first. If you didn't lose 3-0 against Juve, you would've faced Porto and Chelsea.

Out of curiosity, what team do you support?
