CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

[SirXavi]

This tie is over.

Our team has run out of gas. February is normally where we have a dip in form but clearly we are going downhill now.

It will take a miracle to reverse this. The front three are not firing and Lucho is to blame for the midfield.

This season could end up very badly indeed.

 

[vlad]

not optimistic at all about this one, i didnt start be dramatic after el classico, but now, after sociedad and seeing players in what condition they are, jesus

 

[Devils]

The tie is not over but we should prepare ourselves for disappointment midweek.

It's true the team looks like it is out of gas physically. But what's even more worrying is that we don't look motivated at all.

It's never good news when you see these traits at this point in the season.

 

[Catalan Fan]

My expectation has certainly been lowered after this showing but I won't write us off just yet though.Fingers crossed we bounce back and get a 1-1 there.

 

[Total-Football]

our game plan should be simple ... try to score 1 goal and they are screwed ... 1 goal Lads is all we asking of you !!!

 

[Richard.H]

We really need to score first. It's crucial. I don't want it to be 0-0 going into the 70th minute. It'll be costly.

 

[jairzinho]

is back. Enough said.

Well,I won't mind the later scenario tbh .AM trying to go all attack duo to their need of a goal ? there is bigger chance in that ending in our favor than them
Now ,if we concede first like we did in our last 2 games? that would be a nightmare

 

[KingLeo10]

maybe messi and neymar should read this. sure looked like they were resting on the field today.

 

[Sasuke85]

Do you guys think that Messi has been out-of-form recently because of his tax scandal? Especially after the "Panama papers" leak?

 

[Barcilliant]

Do you guys think that Messi has been out-of-form recently because of his tax scandal? Especially after the "Panama papers" leak?

I think that is a major part of it.

Also he is buggered which is surprising considering he had two months off.

His physical condition is nowadays a source of concern.

 

[Barcilliant]

Regarding the return leg Simeone would be crazy to sit back and look for the break.

The best thing would be to press hard and high and attack. We look listless.

3-1 Athletico is my prediction. We rely on our attack. If that doesn't work we have no defence to fall back on!

 

[Sasuke85]

My hope: ATM 2-3 Barca
My guess: ATM 1-0 Barca

 

[Lelouch vi Britannia]

Atleti 3-2 Barca. Both of our goals to be injury time golazos by Suarez, who will otherwise pass the ball to Atleti all game

there's 90 minutes left in the game, and our star players are on the field. So right now, we just have to have faith.

so Keep Calm and have Faith
