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

[Neymessi]

We have slightly better chances of going to round of 8 than city but thats it.It can still go either way.Last year we did not win so dominantly that one could think that we did it last time so we will do it again.Doing the same tough thing twice is always tough.They have been bad in some games but we have been no different.Its really irritating that we get a tough draw so fucking early.If there is some justice in the world then I hope we draw the winner of porto basel in quarters.

I just knew before I opened this thread there will be lot of people not being confident to reach quarters and also a lot of them saying that this forum is so pessimistic.

What exactly is their to be confident about? That we hope Messi or Neymar or Suarez to bail us out? Because that's about it.

People can voice there opinion, if people don't like it well that's there problem. Barca have done little to convince therefore the pessimism.

Please Lucho do us a favor and stop trying new crap. Let Messi be Messi.

Man City struggled in the group stages, but this is still the toughest draw for Barca among the teams they could have faced.

What sort of money is the flights

Got mine for €20 return with Ryanair.

And hotel for €42/£33 just before the prices got increased.

Delighted with them prices.

I just knew this tie would happen. I think city will go through. They had to fight their way through the group and will have confidence.

Lucho is a shitty coach.

If Blanc takes a more attacking mindset to Chelsea Psg can upset Chelsea

Past is past. I saw both games against Bayern and the away game against Roma.

Bayern dominated them in germany, only a superhuman Joe hart made the scoreline respectable. silly mistakes cost them the return leg, which despite playing most of the game with 10 men they dominated most of the game. and Roma created plenty of chances in rome but they didn't take them, city did. They were unconvincing, unlike last year's group stage, city look a much worse team especially in europe this season.
We are also worse than last season but we beat them 4-1 so surely we should be able to knock them out, even if it close.

And Real Madrid draw Schalke....shocking, isn't it?

 

[serghei]

If we go through it will be harder than last year.

 

[FC B]

First game in February? Hard to predict how both teams will look then. 3 months is a long time to predict form and fitness.

In any case, Lucho has a while to figure shit out otherwise City can very much eliminate Barca. This draw will be harder than last year by virtue of familiarity, comfort and revenge factor.

Can we please hire Tata for the City tie?

And I will laugh at you come February.

Time to dig up Trickykid's old "I Told You So" thread.

I wouldn't mind if that comes true tbh.

If we go through it will be harder than last year.

That's more than obivous. The teams in quarter will be Atletico, Bayern, RMadrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Juve and Porto/Basel.
We'll have 6/7 chances to face a big team if we go through.

Anyway , I'm pretty confident that we'll go through.
