CL | Round of 16: PSG - FC Barcelona (5-2 agg)

[ContraryIan]

we will collapse if psg scores the next one

I hope we do... simply for the comedy value. Nobody watches Barca to see good football.

Dest is definitely scared. He's been showing mbappe too much respect. Midfield has been trash, and Dembele keeping up his tradition of missing easy chances in big games.

Also, Busquets is our best mid tonight so far idk what game ya'll are watching

de jong and pedri nowhere to be seen. jesus christ

The movement when get ball is woeful.

They all walk and wait for Messi to appear to get the ball.

 

[omidferoz]

Dembele is gonna cost us more than the 140mil we paid for him. He is either always injured in big games or he fumbles easy chances. Psg, liverpool and roma game comes to mind. If we can get 100mil for him we should ship him away. He is not a player that you can relay on to win the games for you.. he plain average with some brilliance once upon a time.

The problem i have is a lot of these CL teams look faster and stronger than us. It's like when you play vs Manchester City or Real Madrid 17/18 in the FIFA video games. No matter what you do, they will always run faster and win more 50/50 challenges than you. However, this is real life and I wonder what our players do in trainings to look much less physical and much less faster than them.

True. we are a bit like Boys vs Men. PSG is dominating us physically. That's how Barca been for a long time. Now it hurts more because we are not exactly way more talented with the ball than them.

Verratti and Paredes are looking like prime Xavi and Iniesta. Not even Frenkie can keep the ball when pressed

Like every top midfield at this high lv. I dont want to underrate them but even a struggling mbappe looks like the best player in this world against us.

Our best bet is trying to get Gueye sent off so things even out a little bit, hahaha...

Subbed off

It's quite amazing how many chances Griez misses for us.

A clinical striker would have us 3-1 up now with those 2 ones he had.

 

[Catta]

Messi needs to wake up in the second half, if we want to have a decent result from this game

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

And Pique did pretty good so far for someone who hasn't played in 3 months. Much better than Lenglet. Can't wait for Pique - Araujo.

True. Araujo probably saves the situation Lenglet couldn't defend. Either way, he would add a lot of confidence to our backline.. Now we have zero with Pique and Lenglet.

 

[Bobo32]

Passing percentages first half:
Dembele 70
Griezmann 77
Pedri 81
Messi 83
Frenkie 93

93 is ok for a Barcelona midfielder, 81 is not.
2021 Messi should not have a higher number than another Barcelona player.

Both FDJ and Pedri have only 16 passes in first half, this is even more telling I guess

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

frenkie isnt frenkie today

He did get the penalty though. Great movement there.

 

[hardyboy]

Stegen wasn't that bad. His save from Kurzawa's strike was excellent.
