At least will know that most of the squad is not good enough. Will have to begg the Saudis for those billions.

Barca might actually be forced to sell its soul.. sad times but the way things are heading I don't see any other way

Good result.

Barca is bankrupt. No way.
There is more possibility to sell good players than to buy new ones

The 3rd goal really hurts our chances of getting second place as ridiculous as that sounds. Have to beat them with a four-goal difference at home now and hope they will drop points in their Dynamo games.

No Barca can win next three and Benfica lose x2 vs Bayer and Barca would go through in second.

Benfica already dropped points in their 1st game against Dynamo. Barca need to take care of business in both games against Dynamo and the rematch against Benfica. And also need to assume Bayern take both games against Benfica too.

At least we have a chance to win a title this season: the europa league.. And then trying to win the super-cup with some luck

This club needs to get out of business asap. Would be best for everyone.

Benfica already dropped points against Dynamo in their first round CL game. If we can win all of our remaining games except the Bayern one, we might have a chance finishing 2nd, but it is a tall order.

Benfica could beat us again, or they could pull an upset and get a point against Bayern etc., they will beat us to the 2nd place.

EL is more than just a possibility at this point.

Yeah I know we are different from Manchester United and Liverpool and to a certain degree Dortmund (portions of their stocks are publicly traded), but if they could survive the Europa League stints, so can we.

 

[JamDav1982]

Europa league would not even lose all that much money as Barca would get scudded in the CL last 16 anyway.

 

[te amo barca]

Yeah I got too carried away, there are still too many possible permutations with 4 games left.

haha, now you mentioned it, it is kind of true. If we end up playing more games in the Europa League and go pretty far, we might not lose that much money this season.

It is more important for us to finish in the top 4 this season in the league to qualify for the CL.

lol we'd get dusted by Napoli and Leicester.

 

[xxxxxx]

We're definitely at our lowest point. This is what happens when you have an average manager without Messi saving our ass.
