CL: Barca - Man City 1-0 (3-1 agg.)

[Hamzah]

I'm super glad you drew City, I have to be honest and say that they are probably favorites to advance.

How did you figure that?

I'll be calling for Lucho's head if we can't manage to beat the likes of City. Here it goes...

 

[Chainsaw]

Would be funny if Real hits a rusty period when they face Schalke and barely get away with a qualification. But I doubt they have much difficulty beating Schalke. Schalke is just shit.

Just copying this from the CL thread.

City is the perfect draw. If we manage to lose this, even the biggest Tata hater will see that Martino with one of the more weaker Barca squads in recent years is better than Enrique with a much improved one. Obviously everyone knows that by now but still. Let's see if Pellegrini parks the bus again this time, though. One of the strangest tactical decisions of last season really.

Normally we should come through. I hope.

Time for the crappy double pivot and Mathieu in a 3 DC formaton to give us height

Tata's approach was very smart against City, can't say the same about Lucho.

Worst possible draw.

Haven't you learned nothing about Lucho, it won't be the same tactics as against PSG, Lucho will surprise them

But I agree it's a tough draw, it's the only team I didn't want us to get.

 

[Darko]

Classic, we get City and Real get Schalke.

 

[Flavia]

I don't think we'll beat City this season. The team is worse than last year's, and I think Pelegrini is a better manager. Only if Messi and Neymar turn up their games.

Meanwhile, rm always getting easy draws. so lucky

 

[SeloBarca]

We can jsut aswell loose this if we play like we have this year

 

[Chong Li]

Still too early to predict, but I can't say I'm optimistic.

Of course we could find our form by february, but with this coach in charge...I don't know.

 

[Samuel Eto'o]

Clueless manager or not I only see us progressing

 

[frog-fcb]

Being shit never stopped Di Matteo from winning .we know that better than anyone lol

This ,Tata was much better in big matches than Lucho so far tbh .Both teams seems to be a little worse than last year .both teams have what it takes to win a match like that and coaching would be a huge factor
It is still too early (I hate that very long non CL time btw) .things would be more clear by february .we will play against At.Madrid in League and one of madrid teams in CDR most probably and we will know more about the current status of the team

Ah, stop it. Shitty have been a joke in the CL thus far and also in the EPL they haven't really impressed either. Barca will easily progress by 2 or 3 goals difference.

I think that Barca can do it.

PSG on the other hand won the lottery
