Does Barca ever stop?most teams go for it if they can especially in important fixtures
We clearly stopped in 09 quarters and 15 semis. We could have gone for more.

Only time we don't stop is versus RM.
Man United 2011 final we could have put a 6 piece on them after min 70.

Does Barca ever stop?
We do, in my opinion. I actually think on many occasions we were contend with an early small lead and ramped down the overall effort noticeably when we shouldn't have.

? barca doesnt 'stop', what kind of view is that? there's been tons of times we've put 5/6 past opponents, 8 in some cases--its 'ok' to humiliate small clubs with less money but we would 'stop' short of humiliating a CL rival? thats nonsense. players dont stop scoring until they stop scoring, i.e. missing chances. you really think messi/suarez/neymar wouldn't have scored more past bayern in '15? when they happily put 6 past rome the year later?
you think messi wouldnt score 6 times in a match if he could? looooooooooooooooooool

It's not about "stopping". Some very big clubs relax at 4-0, or 5-0. I mean, in 2009 we had Bayern 4-0 up in 35 mins or so. If in that moment we play like possessed all game, we probably score 6-8 goals and beat them 6-0 or something. But the point is not to flex against a rival who presents itself all over the place. Bayern take pleasure in doing that, and imo it's low class.

Still think 5-3 aggregate win in 2015 is a better win than the 8-2 for them. At that point teams were clearly both at a high level.
Scored 2 away goals in first half and kept counter attacking them because they were chasing goals... just class all round.
Even took Suarez off at half time as the score was 5-1 aggregate (the cheek of it). We definitely played a more reserved game 2nd half and they scored 2 more. If we’d have kept going for it with Suarez on could have been 7 or 8 for us. Also proved that our best form of defence is attack sometimes.

Le Journal du Dimanche is also peddling the story about FFP.
FFP: THE NEW DEAL
The UEFA is finalising a reform designed to give clubs more room to manoeuvre and attract investors.
While the big manoeuvres have begun on the transfer market, the big boys are busy behind the scenes. And the two are linked. In addition to the reform of the Champions League by 2024, which will be decided at the UEFA Executive Committee meeting on 19 April, the reform of financial fair play is also being negotiated, as revealed by LA gazetta dello sport last week. According to our sources, it was initially scheduled to be discussed in a fortnight' time but the subject has been postponed. The health crisis, which has put all the accounts in the red, and the pressure of the big European clubs, which have made clear the threat of a closed super league, have had the better of the system put in place since 2011 under the impetus of Michel platini, dictating that a club cannot spend more than it earns, with possible sporting sanctions at stake.
Several measures are on the table. The most advanced seems to be the control of the wage bill, whose level could exceed a certain percentage of revenue. There is also talk of a luxury tax on the amount that exceeds this (similar to Fran?ois Hollande's 75% tax on very high incomes). For big transfers, the European football government would check the capacity of the clubs to assume their commitments. But all this is still a matter for discussion. For if there is, a priori, a certain meeting within the ECA (European Club Association) to blow up the principle of the profitability threshold, not all have the same interests.
1 July in the spotlight
In addition to allowing more flexibility for clubs deprived of major resources, the idea behind this reform is to facilitate the entry of new investors. To what extent? The historic institutions (Bar?a, Real, Bayern, Juve, etc.) are also anxious to maintain their position. What about the concept of tied parties, where the sponsors have close links with the owners, especially when the owners are states?
Should we expect an interim version of this new financial fair play until the new Champions League in 2024? Or will we soon have a definitive version? It is rumoured that UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin wants to get straight to the point, and the date of 1 July this year is being targeted.
For a year now, financial fair play has not really existed. It has been bracketed by the pandemic, and in July 2020 the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn the two-year ban on European competitions imposed on Manchester City was the final blow. As far as French clubs are concerned, the settlement agreements signed by OM and Lille with UEFA last summer remain unchanged as they stand.
Lmao. I hate UEFA. Even with this new version, French clubs would still be under settlement agreements... Kill the league already.

except if you watch the highlights we created more chances after 4-0 that we simply failed to score. that is such a stupid thing to say, lol, when we put 5 past lyon before bayern. huge facepalm. barcelona have had no problem smashing opponents whenever possible throughout the years and no big club is different.
i dont know what kind of 'noble' spirit youre trying to capture with this bullshit, but lol, another serghei fail for the books
I kinda agree. Smashing a team 5/6/10-0 is not low class or disrespecting them. It is just the game.
Bayern is low class when they talk because they like to act superior.

Honestly, this CL should be a slam dunk for City, but we've all been saying that for years now and they keep finding ways to fuck it up.

Yeah they lost to Monaco, Tottenham and Lyon. We all had expected that they will smash them. But my sixth sense says that city will reach final this time.
