CL Round 8: Barca - Atalanta 2-2

[Horatio]

good experience. Could’ve won it if not for lewandowski howler. Also dumb second goal to concede.

It is what it is.

 

[Barcaman]

Some players came out unmotivated or tired Either way, it's on Flick.

Lamine was clowning too much again. Lewandowski didn't show up. Pedri had one of the worst matches ever. Defense? What defense?

Hats off to Raphinha though.

Credit to Atalanta. From what I saw they are one of the toughest teams we faced this season..

 

[akaranzo]

So fucking deeply disappointing. Liverpool bottle it and we don't take advantage and bottle even harder. Honestly hope we get the toughest opponent possible. These fucking players never learn their failures have consequences otherwise

 

[jamrock]

This draw to me means more than many of the big wins.

Atalanta is legit the best team we've faced tactically this season.

They had the advantage in the first half, but I like that flick adjusted the defensive line, he will need to do this at the business end of the season.

The fermin and Torres sub didn't really change much as I expected it would, cubarsi and casado should have been the early subs.

But good game and the manager did well to make adjustments right at the start of the half.

The way Atalanta play will suffocate a midfield when the CBs and FBs are as poor passing out from back as Barcas were.

Then lack of much in behind takes away that out ball.

Tough shift.

I hope we dorsn‘t get psg so it is possible to get not psg in QF and just bvb or atalanta in 1/4F its safe we can‘t get real, bayern, city, liverpool etc. if we avoid psg 1/2 final is very possible, if not it is also very possible becauce psg isnt good in defense

 

[Horatio]

tbf we scored 2 against this defensive side. That’s a good thing.

Hope inigo is back asafp. And have been defenting Tek but needs to cleanup act

Tough shift.

Frenkie, Pedri, and Gavi just brought nothing.

Bad combination.

Atalanta a defensive side?

Tbf we scored on two brain farts from their defense.

Win or draw didn't really matter in the end. As said would probably be better if we'd lose and finish 4th.

 

[JamDav1982]

Frenkie, Pedri, and Gavi just brought nothing.

Bad combination.

They had very difficult job as Barca back four so poor in build up it wa easier for them to leave them on it and got man for man while attackers tried to trap the full backs on the ball.

 

[FCMessi]

Atlanta does not seem like a bad team.

GF/GA is 20/6, 2nd best right now in UCL just behind Barca.

GF is 20, 3rd best right now in UCL just behind Barca and Dortmund.

Yeah fair enough. Not too defensive but don’t look to control game and let us have ball.

We gifted them goal as well. Kounde to set up attacker to finish and tek letting it slide under

 

[Horatio]

Anyone think our team isn’t used to playing against opponent with 3 CB’s? Kind of took me back to Frankfurt game.

 

[FCMessi]

Tbf we scored on two brain farts from their defense.

first Barca goal not a Atlanta fart.

It was just Atlanta pressing hard and getting caught.
