CL 1/8 Final: Benfica - Barca (0-1)

[Windhook]

Reminder that you don't hate La Liga enough:

[The Portuguese league postpone Benfica's match right before facing Barcelona, giving them a full week to rest.

La Liga move Barcelona's league match to one day after the schedule, giving them only 2 days to rest for the Champions League.]

I don't remember Barca being given a pass from La Liga before. True, game postponements are part of minor leagues.

 

[Barcaman]

What postponement? No one asked for it.
Date was pushed a day ahead!

Despicable

 

[Porque]

Second leg will be on a Tuesday at 18:45.

Good if you want to watch the PSG-LIverpool return leg.

It's a normal schedule, I don't know where you get the day ahead push.
Barca plays this week on Sunday and Wednesday. Next week on Saturday and Tuesday. Same as both Madrid clubs playing Saturday and Tuesday and next week Sunday and Wednesday.

 

[Porque]

Big issue is the Porkchop cancelled Benfica's game this weekend.

UEFA should not allow it. Unfair advantage.

The fuck has UEFA got to do with the schedule of the Portuguese League?

Can put it in statutes that national leagues can not suspend individual league fixtures before/after European fixtures.

Semi finals wouldn't be bad,
We can definitely go all the way

This is the season

 

[Barcaman]

Put a wrong day in initial post, thought we played earlier and was wondering how the hell is it possible to schedule Sociedad on Sunday and have Benfica on Tuesday already.

Still, hope we arrive fresh in Lisbon because they will be charged up and fully rested after having their league match cancelled.

Poll Poll, we want Poll.

Poll Poll, we want Poll.

 

[FC B]

Back to CL focus, must make a good game in Lisbon.

 

[Barcaman]

So here we are. Eliminatory phase of Champions league is upon us.

We learned that Benfica are a serious team but I am confident in our chances over 2 legs.

 

[Joan]

Benfica is an offensively solid team, but defensively lacking. We’ll score our goals but defense will win us this one.

 

[Nello]

Rapha been a bit quiet lately, I trust the CL knockouts to bring out the best in him.
We going for the kill in Lisbon
