At Liverpool, they went to score but at Roma, Barcelona were okay with playing defensive and allowing Roma to run the play, that's why the comeback happened in the first place. If we were truly set out to win, I believe we would've prevented that comeback.

Barca had more of the ball in Rome.

There is no way EV went out to defend in that game.

The team just shat themselves as did too often around then when conceded.

Think Messi had something like 14 attempts across those Rome games and didnt score.. that is not to blame Messi but they were not sitting in.

We lost away to PSG, Juve, Roma,Liverpool,Bayern

under 3 different coaches

The team was in Arsenal mode in away matches

If EV was as great as you trolls portray him to be, he would have fixed it.

Pep, Mou, Klopp, Simeone, Tuchel, Flick, Inzaghi would have never bottled those games. Especially after winning the first game by 3 goals and playing against a side without 2 of their 3 forward starters.

2nd legs against Roma aren't a problem for him with a different squad. Quarterfinal looks winnable as well.

Knocking out Roma also helps solidify La Liga getting the 5th CL spot, so we don't need to worry much about Villareal overtaking them if Bilbao focus on Europa.

Pep the season before was 3-0 down at Anfield after 30 minutes in CL and 4-1 down after 60 in the league. Even the much worshipped Lucho was blown out in CL knockout away matches the season before with a younger version of that squad and peak Neymar.

That and the 8-2 makes it obvious to anyone who knows ball that the players not EV were the problem.

A really strong chance of winning the Europa League. Hopefully they eliminate Rangers - because I despise Rangers for many reasons - and if they do they'll play Lyon or Man United. If it's United then Athletic are a step up from Sociedad. After the disgraceful decisions United got the other night though, Athletic or Lyon might not be allowed to win.
