The difference between Pique and Mascherano is kinda huge.

I don't find it odd that Atletico ran more than us. You always run more when you don't have the ball in football. How are you supposed to defend otherwise?

the only thing i learned from watching football for more than 20 years is .. u cant possibly outrun your opponent that much and not cause him huge problems .. [MENTION=15262]serghei[/MENTION] they were not chasing the ball til the last 20 minutes .. they run a lot because they were pressing high .. the guardiola way .. our way .. it takes a lot of running to do that .. running itself is not an end .. it's an instrument ( grizman first goal .. how did they get the ball back ?!! )

Seeing the CL draw is so depressing hahaha

We were by far more dominant than those 4 teams for 90% of the season and yet we don't even deserve to touch that semi-final stage.

Yes...it sucks soooo much!!! its painful....i didn't feel the hurt so much losing to Atletico...but Barca has obviously been the strongest team of the 2015-16 European season and to see a Real Madrid team that has been the poorest in the last 10 years possibly...reach a CL final only adds to it!!!!! i hope City does us a solid and knock them out!!!!....however i hope Atletico goes all the way...and Simeone deserves it....
Back to Barca....i was listening to a radio program yesterday and i have to agree with a comment that someone made....out of the strongest teams in europe ....Barca doesn't have a Plan B...most of the time Barca wants to dance the ball into the net and sometimes it is painful to watch......Barca needs to be more direct when the time needs it.....Suarez is the probably the only "direct" player we have and i thank god we have him... but we need some players to power their way into the box or have the confidence to take long rang shots...... If it were up to me next transfer window i would be looking for a decent striker to rotate with the current three cause barca needs it and a multipurpose midfielder (probably like a Pogba) to win the ball in defensive situations and carry it to the box to create goal scoring opportunities or to score themselves

Days later I'm still real disappointed. After the season we had, it's nothing short of a disaster to be out before the semi's, regardless of opposition.

Yep. And I was already over it. Well, not really. Champions League football this evening without Barca felt strange.
