Champions League Round of 16 (16th Feb - 17th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Keeeeyloooooorrrrr 
Messi takes great pens all season and today is when he chooses to miss. Just had to be 
Oh no, not Messi Ronaldo threads..dear God..
Pen incident - keylor navas saves it
Pedri, Dest and Dembele have all been quite good. although Dembele is seemingly having a terrible case of Welbeckitis in front of goal.
You know Penaldo would've buried that
Every so often, the Champions League gives you a week of great matches. This is one of those weeks.
God, we seriously need a number 9 striker who can bury these. Sick of seeing this alternating trio of false 9's/False wide players who need a million chances to score just one.
Wouldn't even compare him to Ronnie, a more fitting comparison would be Troy Deeney at this point.
PSG are definitely trying their best to bottle it.
Hmm, lotery numbers?
Ref ignored a head injury for 30-45 seconds in the build up. Then gave a penalty for two half raised feet against the guy that got the ball... Jesus.
Hey!!!!! Do not insult Troy!!!
Hoping Barca go through but I think it's against them now.
Dembele is wasteful, obviously Messi should have put that way but Barca should really be ahead.

I assume Noone else is watching this game tonight!
If Barca had better finisher they'd probably had gone through.
No Cup Final performance out of Leipzig yet tonight, the bad twats.
I absolutely knew he was missing. Ffs Messi. Now Barca need one before 55 minutes, or it’s absolutely finished. There’s no MSN this time to create 3 goals in 500 seconds. Instead, there’s Dembele being absolutely useless. Suddenly, I’m starting to think that Tony may still be on that French plane to the Euros when guys like Dembele get in.
Would love to see a PSG bottling in second half
They gave one to Atletico for free not long ago.
Somehow, like the Porto-Juventus game.... absurd VAR or lack of or general odd refing hasn't actual ruined this game. Ignore the 2 pointless pens and Barca still need 3, just happens to be 3 only takes them to ET at the moment instead of winning.
Andy Carroll is free in the summer.

In fairness they didn't have one versus us either.
They where bad in both games overall. Had a good ten minutes because we chose to play 5 at the back where the wings back played so barrow the entire side of the pitch was free
I watched the first 20minutes of RB game but they are annoyingly shit, we should have smashed them twice, gutted.
Barca PSG a better watch
Messi’s first penalty miss of the season. Poor penalty. Eff
You know the way when certain players are through on goal and you just know in your bones that they're going to bury it? Ronaldo, Kane, Haaland etc?
Dembele is like the exact opposite of that.
Dembele is like the exact opposite of that.
Some things never change, like, PSG being afraid to death of Barcelona, even if they have no reason to be.
For all their quality, what a pathetic team they are.

I don't get why the commentators don't think it's a PSG penalty - it's accidental but a clear foul.
Why does Messi take pens anyway, just saw a stat that he missed 24 out of 106, that sounds pretty bad.
Same reason Ronaldo takes free kicks I guess.

The only reason Barca might go out tonight is because of shit finishing. They could and should have atleast 3, possibly 4-5 by now.
Barsa without Messi would be completely lost.
They are lucky is still there to be honest.. Game still open because of him, even if he missed the penalty.

First one he's missed this season. A lot of his missed penalties come from the earlier point of his penalty taking career. If you look at his pen stats over the last five seasons, for example, it's a lot better than the % reads.
Oh to have played this Barca at Wembley and Rome
I don’t think either are penalties. Icardi cuts across the natural path of the defender. Look at the trajectory of his movement - he runs into the front of the defender’s path rather than the defender cutting him off from a direct run to the ball. Less said about the Griezmamn one the better, but you get the impression the ref was advised over the mic he fecked up and tried to level things up.
that’s pretty good actually. He’s also been great at this this season. Career best pk percentage wise
Icardi wasn't involved in the play and just ran across Lenglet's path. Coming togethers happen all over the pitch - not all of them result in fouls.
Only just saw the Barcelona penalty incident. Both are daft decisions.
Kurzawa taken off.
at BT wanting to bail Messi out with a soft pen replay..... but they are kinda, oddly, right, are we calling soft shit or not. But move on.
