CL Round 7: Benfica - Barca 4-5

[Messi983]

This is maybe the most entertaining first 4 months of Barca season in last decade.

Sure, if you are entertained with winning 1 out of 8 games.

How on earth can we score 4 and 5 against CL teams but struggle against the likes of the mighty Getafe and Las Palmas 🤔????
🤣 this team.....so schizophrenic...

Because we also concede 4 goals

Laliga teams play more defensive so harder to break down

Is what it is

PSG 2017, been some years

That wasn't luck.

Benfica had to win no matter what I knew the 5th goal was there at 4-4

Overall terrible game. Funny to watch. Lucky to win. The future is scary if Benfica can open us up like that.

If you are smart like I am, you would conglomerate LaLiga, SuperCopa, Champions League and the Copa Del Rey into one giant table where we are currently sitting in first and scoring for fun.

Time for another 🍷

Well done to players and their spirit. We needed this last minute win. It's been a while. Well deserved

Poor quality game, Benfica broke out tramp at will and created too many changes.

If we don't fix these issues we aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

But it was hella fun and a come back is always great.

Good mentality by the players
Good choice by flick to go to the back 3.
Pedri is great

Most other things, below standard.

I knew it was there at 2-4

Weather conditions worked in Benfica favour tho

Can't remember the last Barca game I watched with such twist and luck in our favor at the end

Can you?

PSG, UCL final vs Arsenal.
Show me a replay and I will believe you. Usually that kind of "luck" has Perez on his name.
There is no luck in pushing away from goal an opponent and the ref turning his back on it. Maybe there was a bit of luck since the pass was beatiful and the finish was very good.
Maybe I am wrong but I will celebrate when I will see the replay.

Yea true.

I really thought they had a roof for a second, then I realized I was wrong about that


Choose to double down on it

 

[Illuminator]

That wasn't luck.

Yes they dominated, but they needed 3 goals when minute 88 was already on, nobody believed in that anymore

How about the penalty you mongol. There was no contact and it completely shifted the momentum. Would be as much of a robbery if they won.

And even so, no contact needed as GK was obstructing the attacker. Learn the rules.

Obstructing him in what lol, he wasn't close to the ball and didn't have to dive like that

Plus there was no robbery in the last minute either now that I check
