Like this of course
More like envy to see the Catalans dominate world football in this era in both the hearts & minds of fans the world over and the trophy cabinet. You create chances & play attacking football against most sitting deep to defend then only logical that penalties will enter the discussion.
Cheer up @giorno, you will live your whole life never to witness your club do what Barcelona have been doing in the last 11 years - thank the Catalan club for at least letting you experience it as a rival fan

I say watch out what you're doing in La Liga, because in this rythm, Barcelona will overtake you pretty soon.Your comment would manage to be insulting if it weren't so damn funny.
It's a joke
I think PSG have to blame themselves for this kind of loss but Barca got the luck in terms of referring decisions on the night.
Later, I'm going to post 2 GIFS with two legitimate penalty claims for Barcelona that nobody talks about because it doesn't serve the agenda of PSG being robbed. This is not the first time everybody talks about Barca receiving so much help while closing the eyes every time Barcelona is denied something. It's a trend here.
Some even managed to speak about the Inter tie as a proof of Barca being helped, when there were 6 (SIX) really major calls against Barca, and only 2 or 3 for Barca. Makes me wonder. It seems some think it's all right for Barca to be denied something, it happens, but god forbbid they get some help form the refs. That's totally unacceptable. At least be consistent. Nobody asks you to like Barcelona, but be fair.

That's one trend, the other of course is the usual refrain of when Barcelona win, the other team bottled it
Great photo of the sort of sustained pressure PSG were Under for most of the match - all 10 of Barcelona's outfield players are well Inside of PSG's half
True,but Barsa include the copa Eva Duarte and Madrid don't ,so the difference would be smaller.Besides you have more of the less valuable trophies which inflates the numbers:Supercopas of Spain,Uefas/Copa de Feria,Copas del Rey while we have more Champions,ligas or intercontinental.

Talking about the PSG match,It was an exhibition.I felt envious seeing how Madrid won with set pieces in a horrible game and Barsa was able to overcome all their problems with that nice play.
Although It was totally deserved I wonder if the referee will get more games in this edition of C.L.I really doubt it
True, you have a better record in the European Cup. Barca also has records you don't have, like multiple CL-La Liga doubles, and even trebles. As far as I know, in each season when you won the CL, you weren't able to win La Liga as well. It's a lot harder to go for the double, than to focus on just winning the CL. Either way, my point is not to argue which club has which records, probably Madrid ends up on top in this aspect, because you have the more important trophies. Comparing Barcelona to Manchester City is one of the most moronic things I've heard. And even if that stat does not prove Barca is bigger than Madrid, it does prove Barca is one of the biggest clubs. And does it emphatically.
Conversation before the game
Absolutely terrible result and one I doubt that they will recover from for a long time. After the first leg they really did have a very good chance of winning the whole thing this season. Massive confidence blow considering that they keep getting in to great positions in the Champions League and blowing it every season.
Also I called Barcelona overturning it after the first leg.

Should have put a bet on it.
Hypocritical and conceited is never a good combination.
Basically you're saying PSG were terrific when they lost 6-1 and conceded 5 stupid goals. Or as you say 5 goals due to
and so on. They were terrific. Nothing to do with PSG bottling a 4-0/(6)5-3 lead. How dare people not give Barca the credit for dismantling an incredible PSG side on the night? (in truth everyone has given Barca credit for the spirit they showed) How dare they say PSG played like they shit their pants early on and never recovered mentally? PSG were terrific enough to hold that 5-1 deficit till the 95th minute.
When Barca lost 4-0 and 3-0 though, it was down to illness. Imagine how many Bayern would've conceded had Barca had all players available in that first leg. Like really available. The versions of Alves, Pique, Alba, Valdes, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Sanchez, Pedro, and especially Messi that were in the starting line up were all stunt doubles. Only Bartra was there that night.

Well, thankfully we got to see the real PSG against the real Barca in that 6-1 though and that fluke freak result from the first leg was corrected with a more accurate display of the teams' relative strengths. PSG did well to play defensively to restrict Barca to only 6 goals. Scoreline would've been much higher had the game been open.

Yeah but that was a different Barcelona, a brilliant team. That version I would favour to make such a comeback. This current Barca has recently been completely outplayed by PSG and even City.
I understand why you want to talk up PSG, it makes your own teams achievement even bigger. The reality is they collapsed and you had a heap of good luck. This will become evident as soon as you come up against one of the best.
I know
, still irritated that I didn't for the laugh but I don't place bets (long story) but should have relaxed my stance on this occasion. Id have made a bloody fortune.Everyone is entitled to their opinion but rubbishing the play of one team clearly diminishes the efforts of the other
PSG played well, in both legs - they earned every goal they scored. They were perhaps not ideally set up tactically in the return leg but many coaches would have done a lot to protect that 1st leg lead and avoid being overrun by Barcelona - so accusations they were cowardly is rich considering had they opened up and gotten run over the criticism would've been that they were naive. So, yeah, hypocrites are Bountiful when trying to discredit a unique result
As actual Professional footballers pointed out in most post match analyses, it was remarkable the sustained intense high pressure by Barcelona for the majority of the match - something many of them had never witnessed. But yeah, PSG bottled it

The point is that Barcelona can and has rolled up the greatest teams at Camp Nou. PSG isn't in that tier, yet. Emery certainly has plenty of experience playing Barcelona, regardless of the iteration they faced this time around. And if anything I think it points more to how poor Barcelona were in the 1st leg, despite how great PSG played - a conclusion many made then too
You just posted these quotes 2 minutes apart.
Actual professional footballers also pointed out what a bottlejob of epic proportions this was. You're just cherry picking arguments but you're not sticking to your actual "rules" of arguing.
- actual footballers said this so it's right (neglect whatever else they said)
- rubbishing the play of one team discredits the other team (you just once again did the same for Barca's performance from the first leg)
I have no idea what the quote or the video are supposed to prove. Did we play defensively to contain rather than try and keep possession? Yes. Was the collection of individual players (at that moment) better for Barca? Maybe, they were definitely better in possession. Was Messi an exceptional dribbler? Yes.
Did Barca create more than one clear chance? No, instead United had a few more on the break, and as usual, the match highlights do a good job of showing that. Sitting deep (which you were praising PSG for) and then hitting on the counter with regularity (PSG would have done well to bother trying this) is a well-established tactic that we used, successfully.
True in both cases. Barcelona did not play well, eventhough PSG did and the Parisiens fully deserved the win & advantage

How is us 62 and Liverpool 60?
The official count only having us 42 vs Liverpool 41.
It's including stuff like the community shield
We are both actually much worse at home than awayThere are some expensive squads in the area of Manchester capable to deliver disappointing away performances

Hey I've been to that place! Good pizza.
Where is it? Neuilly-sur-seine?
No it's in the 17e, "Colonna créateur de pizza". Rue Lemercier.
Thanks for the answer :-)
Useless stat then.
Even then it's wrong for most of those clubs. For instance Liverpool are on 59 (41 plus 15 CS & 3 UEFA Super Cups), we are on 65 (41 plus 21 CS, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 FIFA CWC & 1 Intercontinental).
They drink coca
First thing I thought looking at that vid
How many matches does one have to play to be considered for PSG's hall of fame? 12, apparently - congrats Becks!

When you look at the list, it's ridiculous. It's insulting for the other players.
Wtf is this...
Demeans the whole concept of a HoF but guess as fame goes, few trump Becks
It's quite amazing that Liverpool are still in a list like that, considering they've won so little in recent (not even that recent) times.
They probably look at HoF as meaning "Someone who was famous" or "Someone who made our club famous"
Yeah, the Qatari(because I have no doubts that it's their doing) concentrated on fame more than achievements, otherwise Okocha and Beckham wouldn't be there.
Whenever I think about Beckham, I think about PSG - and vice versa. True *insert their colours here* legend.
