[Horatio]

Lewandowski will score today.

First acceptable performance attacking wise since 2 months ago.

Defensively, a horror-show
A Dortmund or a Leipzig will get that defense skinned at R16

Joao² are the two best Barca players and it's not close.

 

[delancey]

Porto must really suck for they made Barca look like ballers. 🤣

 

[Andresito]

Btw at one point during the game the crowd was incredibly loud singing un dia de partit.
Not sure if they increased the volume of the crowd on the TV or if the db-level was actually that high.

We need more Joaos....lets buy Joao Mario

seriously, felix got so much hate until his goal, glad that his goal rescued him

 

[ZenI]

A win vs. a mighty Porto being outplayed at home for a big part of the game is still a win. Cancelo and Felix get pretty much all the credit for it.

Chill homie, we didn't get outplayed...

 

[FC B]

Chill homie, we didn't get outplayed...

You must've missed the first half then.

Overall, the team deserves to win the group. Sure, it's an easier group than the tough ones we've had in the last 2 seasons, but still... been the best team in it.

Look at United. They should be easy 2nd in that group vs Galatasaray and Copenhagen and they are now sitting 4th and hanging on by a fine thread.

 

[JamDav1982]

United are completely irrelevant.

Barca dont get any more credit for other teams doing poorly in group.

 

[serghei]

Barca did as expected, that's all. Many, many teams are doing below expectations in recent seasons.

Not great so far, not bad. Just doing what's reasonably expected.

Hmmm expected was a easy run for the first place after seeing which teams are in our group, an exit or second place would have been horrible so overall i rate it as a ok performance 🤔

Yes Barca have done as expected... no brownie points because others havent.

Doesnt work that way.

As said before Barca could get to QF and it still be another failure dependent on who meet and when and how play in that tie.

Need to hope these shit performances now help Xavi address some of his errors into second half of season. Yesterday imroved on some areas.. Romeu being one.

 

[serghei]

That's fair. Nobody is gonna throw a party for finishing 1st in this group. But we did our job.
