I can't see Bayern letting up. So good at punishing teams.
Champions League Knockouts (12 Aug - 23rd Aug)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Didn’t know we could have?
Except for the four clear runs in behind they’ve had then sure
Why the toss did inter loan out perisic?
Could have won the league with perisic to lukaku (with Ash behind them and sanchez as the 10)
Mourinho's wet dream

What's his best attribute? Because his distribution is comical.
This forum is known for judging many players wrong before joining big club. Just look at Mane's transfer thread when we were linked to him.
Are we watching Messi last ever game for Barca? How long will he want to stay at a spent force.
They are going to have to do a massive overhaul to get anywhere near to their treble winner teams of the past

It's the issue I have with the modern game. Everyone is a copycat. Not every team can play out like city or Bayern, yet they try anyway
Just shows there are lots of goals in that side, where Barca are relying on Messi.Only surprise is Lewandowski hasn't scored yet, but he will
It's not the same.
This is embarrassing for a ECL quarter-final. How can a team at Barcelona's level defend so badly? Thought after the match against Napoli that they were too dependent on Messi, but didn't see this coming. Bayern Munich are a real football machine though.
The inner peace 
I think they said this is the oldest team, Barca ever played in the k.o. stage of the CL. It shows.
Really hope we don't get an Oil club final (City vs PSG)
I'd be happy if anyone but either of them won
Are Barca on the decline? I dont really watch much Spanish football they fell apart against Liverpool as well

Eh? We've seen numerous chances in this game alone set up by defenders on either side!
Defenders are footballers, expecting them to be decent on the ball isn't asking too much
You are short for 100 mil
Bayern just hoover up the best talent for very reasonable prices. Can’t remember the last time they got ripped off.
Bayern are committing city levels of niggly fouls.
Is Messi such a complex player that the 10 players around him really struggle to be quite cohesive when they aren't ultra talented? This game screams of a lot of similarities to Argentina at times. It's odd to watch the battering they can get, at times it's like people are scared of playing in his shadow.... is he some kind of ruthless character behind the scenes?
Bayern though, doing the business. Messi should go there for a year.

If I was a Barca fan, I’d be absolutely livid with Ter Stegen and the defence. He’s putting them under constant pressure which his bitch ass passes, and then the defenders barely tracking back once they lose the ball.
I just know the caf like to rave about him. Maybe he is going through the same thing as DDG
Conceding 4 goals isn’t what Barca wanted? Wow, I’m so glad for this informative commentary.
Please let the second half have just as much goals and not the usually 0 goals after such a goalfest first half!
He is the perfect squuad player for any team in the world. Can play on every attacking position and is just super effective. I just recommended United to get him as a squad player yesterday.
We've got to learn this dark art. Martial, Greenwood and Rashford are too honest.
That was over two legs. I can't remember them shipping more than five in a single match
Renato Sanches?
Ter Stegen 100% has taken a bribe
Am so happy this is happening. Can’t stand their arrogance.
Barca is an awfully run club with bizarre transfer system and it has been showing for few years now. They get humiliated in CL every year.
Spend ton on attacking players for them to end on the bench. Hire awful managers who have no names because it succeeded once with Pep..etc.

Barcelona is so slow
Barca need Dembele on, Suarez and Messi are too slow to really expose Bayern’s system these days.
And they have Sane joining
Feel sorry for Barcelona, we all know they're a bit shit this season but playing against a fresh Bayern Munich team while you've just finished a punishing season is tough. Everyone will jump to conclusions based on this too, when the reality is that competition is fecked due to the different schedules.
Terrible I tell you. Fecking mindless commentary we have to put up with these days!
Don't forget the 7-0 on aggregate for Bayern over Barca in 2013, that was a total dismantling of Barcelona.
Bayern playing like a well-oiled machine in full flow. So compact and aggressive.
Vidal has been complete pants. Might as well bring on Dembele or Griezmann at half time.
Power shift well and truly happening again.And they have Sane joining
EDIT: first time in 7 years there will be no Spanish side in the final...
Don't worry they will overturn it in the second leg.
