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

[Giginho75]

Not brilliant again.
For sure not the best moment of season for FCB.
Anyway four goals and semi-final almost sure.

I don't know...
the Champions is an hard and high-level tournament and it's normal having some problems, but we absolutely need the best Messi!

Let's hope to be more brilliant for semi-final.

we should be thankful that we drew Roma.

every other team would have score at leat 2 gaols today against barca. And im not sure if any team had given us basically 3 goals for free

we played against Roma...not any other team..when we played other teams, like Real, they didn't score, Atletico 1 goal in 2 games, Juventus 0 in 2 games..Chelsea 1 in 2 games...which other teams are you referring to ? we never lose, whoever we play...

People are saying we had a lucky draw, we didn't play well...we played great, because we don't lose, and we played with a team that everybody waas saying was not even contender for the Liga title because we lost Neymar..and now we are in the semis of the champions, almost la liga champions and in the copa final..I mean come fucking on..enough is enough..

This was good play by all the Barca players. I saw no weak spots, at any positions, kudos to the players and the coach. Barca is jelling at just the right time this season.

It was great to see Suarez in the middle of so many excellent scoring opportunities, this was his best performance in quite a while. Messi was mainly a decoy, he occupied up to 7 Roma players at a time. The other players really came through capitalizing on all of the resulting opportunities. The Roma keeper prevented this from being a real blowout.

We already know that Barca, RM, Bayern and Liverpool will be in the semis. This is an excellent group, I could see any of these four winning the trophy. But the two most consistent are clearly Barca and Bayern. I think, based on always fine defense and the best attack in the world, Barca is the best bet to win it this year.

This season reminds me of the 2012/2013 season, we cruised through the league and played terribly to reach the semi's before getting humilated, just really hope that the humilation is not against madrid.

 

[FC B]

we are the new Madrid with our luck, its unbelievable. 6th own goal in the CL this season i think?

this formation is shit, boring and slow. why Dembele didn't play who knows, Semedo had a great game though

In order to be the new Madrid we need to win at least two consecutive CL titles with their serious help from referees and luck and not impressing at all on the football that we play, its a long way till there I'm afraid...

We just need to complete a third treble. Then Barca won 3 trebles in 9 years and Madrid won 3 CL's.

That would feel incredible! As it stands, I believe no major club has ever won more than one treble in its history. So we are already breathing rarefied air.

Would be awesome!

Surely our full strength lineup again? I’d prolly rotate again but it’s not going to happen.

 

[Luftstalag14]

I’d start with our best lineup, as the tie is not over yet (I think the key is to not let them score early and we need to score one). However if we look good in the second half score-wise sub Messi and two other starters off.

Madrid isn't even playing well. Neither are Bayern or the other teams. 2013 Bayern was an insane team. Does not exist this year not to mention 2013 was fucked because of Tito...

This could be quite a boring game. 0-0, 1-1 type of game.

Yeah think EV will look to play it safe and slower tempo and wait for Roma to over stretch themselves.

Probably similar to Juve away game.

 

[Devils]

Zero nerves or worries heading into a QF CL match.

The EV effect.

 

[FCBfan22]

Hopefully same lineup as at the Camp Nou. Maybe give Dembele 20 minutes at the end, if the result is good.
