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

[ManusXavi]

Bayern have lost a few games in a row now, they will be highly motivated to give it their all against Barca at the AA.

At the very minimum, for extra time, they require three goals without reply. It will be extremely difficult for Bayern to accomplish this given how lethal Barca have been on the counter. Thus, I don't think Barca will let this slip away, I fully expect to advance to the finals.

In regards to the game, only an early goal by Barca could turn the game into a route, otherwise I think it will be close, something like 2-2, 3-2.

+1
Tomorrow morning, if Bayern Munich somehow manage to score 3 goals in 90mins, Bayern Munich will still not be able to stop Barcelona from scoring for a whole 2 hours.

Our away record this season is among our best (if not the best) in history.
Unless there's complacency, Bayern has no chance.

 

[ManusXavi]

I don't think anyone is suggesting we start the youngsters, but I wouldn't mind samper/roberto getting 15min if we're winning 2-1 or even 2-2.

Ofc the starting line up will be the best 11, I think we know by now Lucho doesn't take chances when it really matters.

If we are 2-0 up at halftime I expect to see Samper play the whole second half.

 

[Hamzah]

if we score first I'd like us to go on and match or better the 7-0

I think Pep will shut down shop if we score first.
He won't risk a humiliation. But then again, parking the bus just to not get humiliated is humiliating itself, tsk tsk.
Tough choices for poor Pep.

No point in wasting energy, we already had our revenge on bayern if we reach the final tonight imo.

Bayern fans can '7up' us all they like after the game.
I'll enjoy my lemonade while watching Barcelona play in the final.

Bojan and Flavia can we open the chat early? Like from now?
It will be a long wait till the game starts.

Heheh, it's gonna be a looooong day

 

[ZenI]

Not gonna' lie, I'm nervous and this is far from over even if our recent football has been fantastic and we're 3 goals up. 1 early goal + some luck for Bayern + unluck for us and this can end badly. As long as we don't underestimate them and focus 100% I'm still fairly confident though.

Beckenbauer : "Without Messi, Barcelona is a regular team like any other, but I still prefer Pelé"

Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta
Neymar, Suarez and Pedro.

Um. . . .yep . . . .real regular

He really spewed such utter BS?!
Sooo butthurt Busi, Ney, Suarez, Iniesta, Alves, Pique, Masch, Xavi - suuuuure all 'regular'.

 

[StarLord]

The Barca-detractors need to choose:

We are either just a regular good team + Messi as undisputed GOAT, or we are an around awesome team + Messi as one of the GOATs.

If we are just a random good team, then our results can only be explained by Messi being the undisputed GOAT. Only if we are an all around GOAT team can then anyone begin to claim that Messi is just one of the GOATs.

 

[DrPepper]

Have to agree with dalitis there.

lolworthy statement from Beckenbauer, but then again he always likes to spout out some bs.
