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

[Tomchin]

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.

True, it seems like we always like to make things "complicated" for us in the CL in the past 6 years away from home. Some kind of complacency in the second half I guess. But we always finish the deal in Camp Nou anyway.

2-1 Is a great result, but it really does feel like we've not won. Should been 3 or 4 nil up at half time, the City players and fans had basically given up, then we come out 2nd half having lost all intensity despite everyone on here and their dog would know that they needed to keep that same play and intensity up for at least the first 20 minutes to kill the crowd and players again.

Instead City grow and grow in confidence till they score, with our players becoming careless and fancy at the same time on the ball, now people are just going to say City were coming strongly into until the red card, then to top off the low of the second half Messi misses. Now City will feel they have a chance but still nothing to lose and will come out attacking with intensity of their own at Camp Nou, and whilst we should still get through, it will be a lot harder than it should/could have been.

Sergio doing fancy flicks on the edge of our box TWICE made me so angry!

Also got to shout out to our fans. Fantastic atmosphere for an away game. Believe quite a few of them were from the Penya.

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.

I just turn off my ears with them.

I've forgotten the name of the commentator, but he spent the whole game commentating as if he was City's manager. Lee Dixon?

Try to forget that PK and you have a very good result, 2 away goals is perfect.

Yes and missed 4 last year.

But we could have scored 2 more in the first half, Luis had a 1v1 which he should score

I'm not even sure if that's a legit penalty but whatever. Messi really panicked after the miss,his diving header miss looked hilarious. He once again proved that he's isn't a match for Penaldo. But seriously, Messi really misses way too many penalties. Maybe Suarez/Neymar would do better?

My favourite one was, "Do they ever get bored of passing the ball to each other?"

Erm... no. It's fun. You should try it.

That was embarrassing for English football once again , Barca took the foot off second half when they shouldn't have , they should have went at them and finished the tie.
Just love it when Company runs his mouth to the media before these games and makes a complete fool of himself again.

Didn't mind the fact that he was so biased towards City. It was the stupid comments that annoyed me the most. Wish we could have a setting to just mute the commentary as I like some atmosphere while i'm watching.

Those 2 away goals are gold.

 

[Darko]

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.

:Chelsea:
This is Barca m8, we always manage to fuck up.
