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

[Afro]

You wouldn't think we'd just won a game, lighten up guys. We got the win, I'm confident we will score at home so then City will need 3.

Maybe controversial here but Messi shouldn't take penalties. Suarez's turn for the next one.

Suarez was bad at them as well in Liverpool and Ajax, Rakitic for me.

Messi was brilliant IMO ,not sure about those saying he was bad ,got an assist and earned a penalty
Think we needed Xavi to go for Iniesta in second half ,we needed to slow the game and control the midfield more IMO

Fucking shit classic Barca, a gazillion chances, a missed penalty and only a slim advantage. City get an early goal at Camp Nou and it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
But the first half was one of the best I have seen Barca play in years, game should have been dead and buried by half time.

1 half awesome,second not so good,good result but we should of finish city in second half but it is what it is,messi miss was fitness wise in my opinion,he was tired at the end!

Not terribly happy with the result, I felt we deserved a lot better, especially how dominant we were in the first half, but we should be able to seal this tie out at the Camp Nou. City got a scrappy goal, and had a handful of half-chances, but never really looked too frightening. I'm happy Pellegrini decided to play two strikers, the midfield wasn't able to get the ball at all and the strikers had to drop deep and they didn't have the quality needed to beat our defense, partly thanks to Pique's wonderful performance. I feel if they packed the midfield and played Navas and Milner on the wings and one striker up top, this could have been a cagier affair, but City gave us the space and time and we were able to punish them.

Same old story.... go 2-0 up against a decent side and then stop trying for the 3rd goal, which then ends up with us conceding and giving them a chance in the return leg.

Are you kidding me? It'll be good of them to manage to score 1 at Camp Nou and it won't be enough anyway. It's done.

Should had scored more. But great result nevertheless. Winning in away games is not usual for Barça, in the cl.

Brilliant 1st half, average 2nd half. It's not a bad result, but I can't help but feel we should have won higher.

Brilliant game from Messi, such a shame about the Penalty. Maybe it's time to consider someone other to take them. Leo has a habit of missing important ones.

On a side note. The ITV commentators were pissing me off. Kept saying things like "He's given the ball away, that's a fine in Barcelona" and "He's tall, uncommon to see that in Barcelona". Clueless muppets.

 

[Icarium]

Who recently said to me that I was wrong when I said French National players are overrated. Clichy is a good example. Why the fuck is this turd playing for a top club is beyond me.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Also Suarez is a beast.. Suarez>>>>>>>>>Alexis/Pedro for Barca. Perfect for what we need. Alexis and Pedro would not have scored those goals tonight.

Suárez isn't a penalty taker. He even didn't take the penalties in Liverpool when he fought for the Golden Boot last year.

I agree. Great result to take back to the Nou Camp.
