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

[pregra]

Shocking. Worse than Bayern. Worse than PSG 1st leg. Not a single player turned up. Valverde’s defensive tactics don’t help but our players looked like a relegation candidate. Technically shit, didn’t work hard enough and tactically inept. Against Roma, who barely scrapped past a outside-of-season Shakhtar. Madrid will crush them by at least 6 goals if they are lucky enough to draw them.

 

[Trafalgar]

We don't deserve to qualify.

Fuck you Valverde, Fuck you Gomes, Fuck you Semedo

 

[raki]

Horrible game. Stamina was non existent

 

[Alik]

I need to take a break.

Just two words
Andre Gomes

????

Can you believe that guy is the first sub off the bench at Barcelona, what a joke

 

[klc123]

Well done to Roma. Great effort.

Now on to the semis where they'll get their asses handed to them 7:0 on aggregate by either Bayern or Real.

What do you think would be worse, to lose to Roma like this, or to get absolutely spanked by Real/Bayern over two legs? I can't decide if this is a blessing in disguise...

Andre Gomes

THIS.

What in the world was this maricon trying to achieve by brining on Gomes.

You're talking about the guy who missed the open net. Dembele has just not been very good yet.

Agree ..Dembele just wouldn't have worked..He is kind of a tactical liability and would expose Sergi Roberto/Semedo time and again. He clearly needs more time to develop and today wouldn't have worked against a high pressing side. We actually needed a Xavi type player which we sorely lack!

Disgraceful and spineless performance. From both team and Valverde. Unforgivable! Congrats to Roma who deserve to go through 100%

110% EV tactical problems. Shambolic defense and many of you were confident that we could take on the likes of Liverpool or Real. Reformation is much much needed.

True, but tbh this is his first major tactical defeat imo. He has always been on the winning end when it comes to these tactical battles between managers. 100% behind EV continuing as our manager as he brought us grace.

Real Madrid will walk this.

I didn't see the match. Valverde's cowardice was bound to bite us in the ass.

Third consecutive cl exit. Let that sink in. .

It ain't even that anymore, the team is playing a very boring style of game. I don't know if it's due to fatigue or whatever but...

Can't decide what's worse. Although this was bad enough. I can't remember Barca receiving yellows for time wasting being 2-0 down against a second tier team coming from a 4-1 lead yet, at least not over the last few years. This performance was godawful.

messi is far from GOAT...

what a disgrace

This result is exactly what 90% of the so called fans on this forum deserve.
With support like that, is no wonder the team underperformed.

Messi and Suarez have bigger fish to fry in a couple of months time.

 

[Ronaldinho10]

No need to look far to find the reason for what we saw today its obviuos the manager. EV was disrespectful to the opponent and it cost us the game. He was probably thinking that this was an easy cruise to the semis I mean u bring on god damn gomes on at the end and dembele when there is freaking 10 minutes left in the game. Roma played an excellant pressing game full credit to them we were naive.

 

[LMessi85]

It's an absolute crime that Messi has been wasted in this club

Indeed! Pep got thrown out with city as well. Please get back to barca! I miss the passion.
