If we start finishing at a normal rate, we're still very much one of the 5-6 best teams in the world, and we'd absolutely have a chance against PSG

"Us having a chance against PSG", I'll never be able to phrase it like that. No matter how bad we look, fact is PSG is with all the money spent yet to get past a top team in Europe and place themselves in Europe's elite.
Being a world champion in spending money is only part of the equation. This is their chance, not ours.

Having said that, they play in a sub par league and that will always be a limiting factor to how much they can evolve. To their full potential? Never.

Let this season finish first before concluding it. I personally doubt they will win the CL but the potential is scary

I also doubt it. I have faith in our team and I think we'll go through. Having said that, if they reach that potential in CL, I'll be the first to congratulate them.

Haha...I can only imagine.

I guess it's similar with City fans now that Pep is there for them to make that last step (which they'll never make because his City will end up like his Bayern in CL semi finals).

To be fair, I think this city side might be weaker than his Bayern side in terms of passing around the ball (tiki-taka), but what he seem to have developed with City is lightening counter-attacks which might become povital in the CL imo.

They hammered Bayern 3-0, a very impressive win, I don't see them as paper tigers even if the french league is a farmers league

:lol::lol::lol:. The endless stream of poorly constructed similes just makes me die a little inside with each one. Fecking awful. Why can’t I watch football with no sound on?
 
Vermaelen is done, exactly the day Umtiti is back from his injury. It's like someone made a blood sacrifice to make him last this long or something, and now his time is up

Depor is one of those teams who've managed to stay up because there were 3 teams even worse than them for the past 2-3 years honestly

Spain's version of Hamburg or Genoa or Swansea

I still fancy them to stay up as Levante aren't that great and don't seem to have won for ages either.

As has been said Lucas Perez, Adrian and Andone isn't a terrible option of strikers for a relegation team. I fancy them to make the difference in the relegation six pointers.

Shame the money has run out at Depor, loved the teams they had in the late 90s/early 00s.

Real-Celta is mental :lol:

Neither team even a little bit interested in defending or controlling the game :lol:

Been disappointed in La Real this season.

Started the season pretty well and I thought they could challenge for top 4 but hardly won a game in months now. Couldn't beat Malaga or Las Palmas at home which is saying a lot.

Eusebio must be close to the sack as they're only a bit above the position when Moyes got potted.

They've still got the baulk of the squad that has served them well over last 18 months.
 
Messi scores too, 0-2 for Barcelona.

Shades of the Guardiola era, when teams would press us in the first half, and then be tired and get destroyed in the second.
 
Either he misses every shot, or he grazes a ball and it's a goal, Suarez streaks are so weird
 
He had to score two today, it's his "war"

This is why players have to fall down to get a penalty. That was a clear penalty, not given because Messi didn't throw himself on the ground.

Barca are on 54 points out of a possible 60.

Some people actually thought that Man City are better than Barca. Messi himself is better than two of their attackers combined.

Barcelona are a very good match for Man City; very efficient counter attacking team; aggressive pressing and press resistant.
 
Damn, Leo is the reason I have to watch every Barcelona game no matter against who, any day could be the one he turns up and gives us what for other players would be a career best performance.
