It sucks ! Anyone have a solution (apart from using a spanish proxy) ?

Try changing your country or language settings to international if you have an account. It works usually. Or else there are plug-ins available for chrome and mozilla that by pass these and if none works, get a vpn like hotspot.

I liked the face expression of Simeone. He was lost, he did not know what to do. he was just stood there frozen and we frustrated Atletico players-7 yellow cards. And it could have been more than that.

Great game.
Barca tought us a lesson tonight: Never give up faith.

And thanx to that lying mole in the club that involuntarily created the siege atmosphere. Keep it up :)

YAY! I could hardly contain myself on every one of those goals!! WOOHOO!

Everyone looked so good. Busquets especially. He was so flawless out there.

And now we get to sit back and enjoy watching Atletico and Madrid take it to each other on Thursday. We beat Atletico, Atletico knocks Madrid out of CdR. Life is good.

And I didn't notice now until I looked at the forum thread list, are we really 21-2 on aggregate in our last 5 matches? Who has a crisis in the middle of a set of 5 games in which we outscore our opposition by 19 goals?? :lol:

Best game in...since Milan I think. The biggest difference? COUNTER ATTACKING! It's as if Lucho woke up and discovered this new concept called a counter attack. Damn, I have never seen us this eager to spray the ball on either wing, ready to counter the opposition with a blitzkrieg. Everyone keeps talking about buses, do you guys honestly think Atletico were more open or they didn't play how they normally do? Wrong - that's what happens when you move the ball QUICKLY.

Neymar and Messi..Jeez..Messi was on God mode raised to 10. He was obliterating their defence and probably destroying their will to play football with every touch he made, he was surreal. I don't think I have seen him go down the line when facing up to a defender so many times, since he was a kid. I always wondered why because the defenders expect him to cut inside, and he has all the pace and skills to make anyone look like an idiot by doing that. Oh and that move on Godin :lol:

We will not see this kind of intensity against lesser teams, naturally, but the biggest takeaway for me was the team finally willing to move the ball quick to make sure the bus isn't reformed. That ONE change alone can drastically alter the fortunes of the team, IMO.

First half was very very good, second not so, still ok but nothing more. It just shows how little difference still makes us the best team in the world maybe. Just a little bit of speed, movement and chances are flying. As soon as we started statical passing in the second half wee looked like this broken Barca of late.

Talk about a good first match at the camp nou! Unbelievable. My expectations before the match were quite low, as to not upset myself if we performed badly, but my oh my did we perform, and it was such a freaking thrill to see the players I've adored for so long with my real eyes for the first time, and see them perform the way they did.

The highlight for me was the fact that we counter attacked with high pace and determination as a mean of neutralizing the otherwise so often parked bus of atletico, and that we, when atletico had time to regroup, played it patiently yet effectively around their box with possession.

The combination of counter attacking, as a way of surprising the opponent and creating clear cut chances, combined with possession based football as a way of controlling the match when there were no obvious openings, is what thrilled me the most about this match. We didn't just win by some individual brilliance (although there was plenty of that), but with good tactics (for once), and of course the individual brilliance of certain players.

Messi was out of this world really, and I got shivers all over my body the entire match.
