CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

[Simmelbert]

i really hope that javi can play in the rematch. he'll be a big factor next saison.

 

[FC B]

Pep is still the best coach for our squad, and the best tactician in the world, he completely shut us down for 70 min, this season he is the first one to achieve that.

I agree (bold part).

I'm rewatching the match. Minute 75 and bayern was better. Messi really turned things around for us.
The way he celebrated also put fire in our players.

Bayern indeed was better for the first 75 minutes except for the most important thing goals/chances. They didn't have any except that Lewandowski miss. Barca had like 5-6 good chances.

I'll take Juventus over the likely nervous breakdown I'll have if we face RM in a CL final.

So do I.

Do you think messi has settled this thing or will Bayern punish us like last time? 0-4. I do know certain factors differ though. Bartra, pedro, xavi, song, sanchez, injured messi played in 2013. Bayern have injuriees now, but we shouldnt be arrogant. Allianz is a mighty arena and Bayern is world class. We need to be focused.

They are already quite broken.

It will take only ONE goal from us and it will deflate them completely. If we score one goal, I expect many more to follow because the the game will be simply out of reach for Bayern. They have no choice but to come forward and attack the hell out of us at the start. And their defensive high line as always will leave them very vulnerable on the counter.

If we score first I would expect a 3-0 or 4-0 for Barca at the end of game.

yes. and we were even broken before the game.
This season is over since we lost the DFB-Cup and Robben to Dortmund.

How were they better then?

 

[Kohe321]

I don't agree at all that Bayern were better up until our goal, apart from a period of maybe 10 minutes after the second half started, we dominated the game. They didn't have a shot on goal, we created several, and there was always the feeling that we were just about to break through. They were lucky not to be down by at least two goals by half-time. Neuer did well, but our players could certainly have scored had they not been unusually dull in their finishing.

If anything, the 3-0 scoreline actually flatters them slightly.

Two nice articles on Pep and our victory!

It was a foul, inside the box, so it's a penalty. He didn't dive there.

That one could have gone either way, I have no problem with the ref's decision.

Not a dive, but Neymar can certainly make any contact look like a felony. When the ref seems him fly through the air like he's been hit by a car, they tend to not call the foul. I saw Neymar do a Messi-style bounce up a couple of games ago, continuing the dribble after getting knocked to the ground. That convinced the ref to call the foul. He's still learning.

Bayern fans and players are still hopeful of a chance to advance by making history.... Our players and team should not give Pep any mercy and finish them for good. We must give our all once again and not let our guard down. Lucho should repeatedly show the video of porto meltdown to the players repeatedly and remind them anything is possible in football.

 

[Devils]

Yep. Reading around, Bayern fans still are optimistic of putting 4 past us on Tuesday.

I like it. Builds more anticipation for the match.

 

[skn02]

its understandable for them being optimistic, but they forgot they are up against a Barca side that have yet to concede more than 3 goals all season long without scoring ourselves. If they were to overturn this, they will have to beat so many records by doing so, it's damn near impossible. Also, that Shaktar/porto game at home for them wasnt them being that good although they were still one of the world best teams.. it was more the other side totally gave up. Look at shaktar after the gift red card total collapse, and porto without their starting fullbacks and that Goal-keeper performance....I swear, was one of the worst performance for a goalkeeper of all time. Obviously Bayern were much better side than shaktar/porto, but still they blown it out of proportion and compare their results vs them and hopeful of a repeat vs us.

 

[xavi_the_Boss]

They can be optimistic but i don´t see them turning it around.We have a perfect result.
Let´s score a away goal on the counter and it should be done.

What? And what is your nationality? Don't post bigoted comments on this forum.

Thanx

"Boateng has consistently proven himself to be more than a match for Messi time and time again. This sole instance otherwise is the exception that proves the rule. I'd rather have Boateng on my team than Messi, any day of the week."

Are we that biased here? These kind of statements are so crazy, they make me doubt my own conception of the universe.
