CL | 1/8: FC Barcelona - Arsenal 5-1 agg.

[Devils]

What?

I don't see what there is to be nervous about. We should destroy Arsenal with this line-up.

I wish you are right. But I think that

a) Arsenal are actually a good team, yes we are better but only of we keep our intensity high for most of the game. They can hurt us on the counter.

b) They will be super-motivated against us. We beat them lots of times in the past. Also Alexis, Ozil and their two Spanish players will be desperate to perform against us.

c) I am worried about the sheer number of games we have played recently.

Alves and Alba carrying their piss poor form to the big CL games was the last thing we needed.

 

[Neeraj]

Borrowed Chelsea bus. I don't mind, we are playing as we should, don't go crazy looking for a goal yet, chances will come. I sense a goal 15 mins into the second half.

will be dissapointing if we can't win this game.

The team only turned up in the last 5 minutes. Those misses from Suarez... Hope they play better in the second.

My god, Neymar... these need to be scored

Neymar has been awful in the second half.

 

[AlexandruH]

1-0 finally. And what a great counter-attack. Too bad we don't score more goals like these...

 

[barcafan161]

finally we got the breakthrough

 

[dakt]

Not our brightest display considering the circumstances, but I'll take it.

 

[frog-fcb]

Not the most spectacular game from us but more than happy taking 2-0 back to camp nou. Pique will be a big miss in second leg. Also thought the ref was a bit biased towards us at times tonight

 

[Flavia]

The last 2 times we played there, it was a 2-2 and a 2-1. This time the tie is pratically over. It could had been more, if Suarez and Neymar didn't miss their chances. Vamos!
