Mentality in CL helps you get through despite being the worse side. Madrid done that many times during past 6-7 years which is why people consider them 'mentality monsters'. It helps to not get rattled, be it if an important player gets injured, go a goal down or if the crowd is hostile; the goal is still the same, to win and to get through. But of course it's not something you can rely on all the time, sometimes teams happen to demolish them.

Based on what?
In terms of H2H in each position for best XI. Barca probably wins 6-7 of those.

Dont agree with that. It is much more about quality and way team is set up.

Real with their monster mentality have lost league to Barca by double digits and took a hammering from City in CL.

City who had not won CL and lost many ties in a way they shouldnt. They didnt all of a sudden become mentality monsters to win CL what happened was signing the right players and Pep playing in way that came through.

Folk just decide about mentality after the fact.

Playing wrong team and thinking likes of Busquets can keep up with top European teams is more important.. Busi could have the best 'mentality' in that side but still lack too much in his legs.

Their front three with Sane - Kane - Gnabry is better than anything we have in attack.

They have the better DM in Goretzka and Kimmich would probably get in ahead of one of our mids. Musiala ain't it too shaby, but let's say Pedri is better.

In defense they have a better player in Davies on left. Central defense we might edge it, but theirs is close. Don't know why Cancelo hasn't worked for them, I'd imagine they have someone competent there.

GK we win hands down. Depends how much of factor that is. Maybe a fit Neuer would be enough anyway in big European ties?

This is only a H2H comparison based on positions. Anything can happen troughout the season.

Bayern is a bogey team for Barce, just like Barca is for Real. Imo.

Absolutely no chance Goretzka..who isnt a DM.. is better than FDJ who has been better than Kimmich also past couple seasons also. Pedri has been better than Kimmich on multiple occassions also and Gundo been better than them past few seasons.

Bayern want a DM to play beside Kimmich... not case if rated Goretzka to play there.

Kimmich is good but rating too high to imagine no Barca mid gets in ahead of him or Goretzka on last few seasons and this.

'Might edge CBs'.....Barca have better CBs.

Stop spouting utter shite.

The group of mids Barca have is better than Bayerns.

I can't believe that people here are wasting their time trying to denigrate Betis. Probably the sort of folk who get laid and then spend the next few hours moaning that she didn't look like Margot Robbie.

You are losing the game of life. JUST ENJOY THE MOMENT.

I’ve never rated Goretzka as a midfielder. He is a decent goal threat though.

Technical ability is non-existent. As you could see in the City-Bayern game.

Not a fan either, but when compared with Romeu? I guess Kimmich can also fill the DM spot. Let's say we have an advantage in midfield as we propose FDJ/Pedri/Gundogan for starting positions and the best they have would be Kimmich/Musiala. It ends up 2-1 for us imo.

He isnt a DM stop spouting nonsense.

Goretzka is a box to box player and not better than mids at Barca.

Musiala would be the 4th mid at Barca anyway so that doesnt fit either.

Indeed he does and hopefully keeps it that way.

Easier to counter his nonsense.

He makes it too easy though with shite like 'Goretzka is a DM'.

We should all put him on ignore so we don't have to read his mindless ramblings ever again in our lives.
I remember he kept sending me messages, threatening me, to edit of my post cause he couldn't live with the L I delivered on his head.

He is a mad man.
