CL Quarter Finals: Roma - Barca (4-4 agg.)

[wisconsincule]

4-1 let’s go boys!!!!! Exactly the result I wanted. No pressure in the return leg!! I’m mad that Valverde didn’t bring on Dembele but I get it. Playing ugly but we keep getting results. We’re a tough draw for any of the teams left. Let’s keep it going!!!!!

Great result but not a great performance. No real creativity and some lucky goals. I do think it was a bit of tiredness after a tough sevilla game and the internationals before. Also I think Messi was the opposite with not enough match time. I would maybe play Messi for 45 against leganes to get him a little sharper and rest most of the team

Result is what matters at the moment. We are fighting for all three titles. We'll see the Barca at it's best in CL semifinal.

Until the dust of this year’s CL Final settles, you’re opinion is as valid as mine.

You seem to be one of the most positive thinking guys here!

Thank you. My Mother was born in Barcelona and immigrated to Canada when she was a baby. I’ve spent most of my life supporting our club. 1990 was the year I would say I became a serious supporter though. Since that time I’ve witnessed many ups and downs. In the last 10+ years, FCB has achieved success I never could have dreamed possible.

So yes I’m positive, enjoy this beautiful club and all the spoils because you never know what can happen.

Embarrassing way to win. But I guess it's better than losing.

Winning is not everything but it is certainly better than losing, especially if a CL title is the prize. Nobody cares about how Real Madrid won their 11 CL trophies, the history book will show they won it 11 times. We need to win another CL.

We need more guys like you!

Enjoy we should and I will. 2nd beer incoming

Not every day Barca is on their way to CL semis

To be honest, this is sort of the way Madrid got to a lot of CL finals. We are playing like Madrid almost, and we've had a draw like Madrid. We're almost 2 games away from the final, and it really didn't feel like it. Hell, the best team we faced in CL this season was in round 1.

Odd CL season so far. Playing pretty meh and getting results. It's usually the other way around. Outplaying teams and getting knocked out.

I want either Liverpool/City, or Madrid in the semifinals.

For sure, not a great performance in terms of execution. But why the f**k do you call those goals lucky?! We were all over them in both situations. If not for the own goals our players were there to score them. When you get players forward and pressure is overwhelming it is normal that the adversary will make mistakes. It's not as if the keeper fumbled the ball into his own net without any pressure.

Ok not very lucky and yes there was pressure but not enough for a top Barca performance. I should say our goals were not beautiful Barca goals and I wasn't as happy as I should have been after watching that display. It wasn't really a 4 1 game. We should have pinned them back and never let them out their half. Probably would have been possible if he started with 3 up front

The tie with Juventus isn't over yet though. I really believe that missing Ramos and Nacho will be a big blow for Real's defence. Juve are capable of scoring three or more goals on BerbaLeo. It's not very likely, but it's possible. Juventus played 60 minutes better than Real. Real just didn't control the match that well as the results shows. They're really not that great tbh.

It's a pleasure to read posts like this one. I have no real connections with Barcelona (nor Catalonia) but am very proud to support the club.
Can't say it started because of the style or players... I've been attached to the club's core since the beginnings. Cannot tell what's that what I love about it. Actually, the first match I watched was a Clasico which we lost. Don't know which one anymore, really.

Not important, but just wanted to say that I'm glad we have you here.

Without Dybala? Nah. Real is through.

 

[serghei]

Who gives a shit if Dybala plays or not. Madrid are through anyway. Will beat Juve at home too.

I would like to see an inspired Liverpool side vs us. It would make for a great football match. Madrid in the Final.
