CL Quarter Final: Borussia - Barca 3-5 agg.

[Porque]

We also have some luck, can't deny that. Guyrassi finishes those two sitters and you're looking at another result.

Our approach of trading blows with anyone works the best when the other team is not that good at defending but also doesn't score chances when they should.

This is a game we won easily overall. Betis was a better team tbf.

Yep. Right now we're looking a bit leggy and the lack of bench is hurting us. Frenkie, Pedri, Lameen, Raphi and Lewy don't really have a substitute. Well there's Ferran for three positions and Eric/Gavi but we lose a ton of control with those mid subs. So it isn't ideal.

Feel we can lose some points in the next few sprint of games. Madrid looking tosh and having issues behind the scenes, so Atleti might get themselves back in the mix again.

Our attack was clinical and saved us tonight
But we conceded MANY chances to Dortmund... Guirassy alone could have scored 3
What do you think will happen against PSG for instance (but also Inter) if we hand them so many chances?

I don't wanna see that again...

Dortmund killed themselves by making game that open.

It was like an old Lucho game when he would force on open game and back his attackers to out score them.

There is no way likes of Inter play that way.

Best news is that we earned a low intensity game with plenty of rotations next week.

How about if we scored our sitters? First half we were missing everything. If you are talking about the hypothetical, we should consider this as well. Dortmund was the lucky team today.

 

[Barcaman]

Hansi Flick: "Never, we can never think we have already qualified. You never know what can happen. Football is a crazy sport."

Hansi Flick: "We have to play exactly like we did today in Dortmund. They're a very good team, but we trust ourselves."

What was more impressive today: The result, or the way in which you won? Hansi Flick: "Both were important. When you play like that, you score goals, and that's what happened."

 

[MonteCuler]

Like the no relax attitude but we can still rest a few players Hans shall not kill us

Particulary you know who

Think the match could have ended 7-3 if every team scored all their big chances. Fermin could have had a double himself. Lewa another big chance. Yamal also 2 chances.

In short, an elite team would beat Dortmund pretty convincingly. Either we are one already or not. We will find out in a week.

We found out

Dortmund playing Bayern away during the weekend. Must win for them. Of course we have Leganes too but Bayern a bit different level.

 

[jamrock]

They have been broken, less chance they come back.

If it was a 3-1 they would fight, now they will just pass the ball around and wait for the 90 minutes.

 

[Skalman]

I didn't even think we played that good in big parts of the first half and we end up smashing them, glorious!

 

[JamDav1982]

Barca did what Lucho used to do with MSN tonight.

They were happy for it to be open enough game as Dortmund with less quality would have to over commit for their chances created and Barca backed their front three to do them in that open game.

Neither Inter/PSG or even Barca will play like this if met.

This. Dortmund were poor and we still conceded too many chances. Inter, Bayern, PSG and Arsenal won't miss those.
