Lliga | Round 22: FC Barcelona - Atlético de Madrid 2-1

[te amo barca]

Awful display for 60 minutes (15 in the first half and the whole second).

 

[EdmondDantes]

Yet another violent match. We've been playing thugs for months now. Espanyol, Bilbao and now Atletico.

Simeone will never be considered a top tier coach, half of his tactics revolve around his players assaulting the opposition. Filipe Luis hacking Messi multiple times, Godin on Suarez, that lad stomping on Neymar's injured foot within the first 10 minutes (what a coincidence eh? Not.), their captain booting Iniesta and Busi in the first half...

That lot are all cunts, no two ways about it. 3 points in the bag and thankfully no one is badly hurt. Thank fuck.

 

[Barcaman]

3 points it is...GREAT...but I'm not convinced that it would be so if they weren't down to 9 players. We need to work on that 1st half.

Agreed.
3rd match in a row we get owned in 1st half.

It was a poor match for Barca standarda and hopefully Lucho addresses problems.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

 

[Gaudi]

We actually played good 11 vs 11 from 20. to 45. min...good win, but 2 players up, this is not a good team attitude

 

[Gnidrologist]

Great result, dreadful match. Lucky to have Felipe being a dumbfuck today.

 

[serghei]

The problem was the approach when we had 2-1. We should have scored for 3-1 and settled the game. 1 goal can come from nothing. It's the wrong approach.

But when we did found ourselves in trouble we fought hard and we looked like the best in the world.

 

[Altomonte]

Maybe difficult to show same high intensity when playing against 9 men. Neymar did not play well - fell back into his old ways like 2 years ago, too selfish.

 

[Darko]

Atletico would have beaten anybody with 11 men playing like this.
I guess La Liga is ours.

 

[SKS-]

Thrilled with the three points, but given our standard, not so thrilled with the performance as a whole.

 

[Altomonte]

.. and Iniesta had an off day

 

[Flavia]

Great result. But a bad display. 3 matches in a row playing badly, scrapping wins. Hopefully the team will improve soon. Good to see Messi fired up today.

 

[NotInHere]

Expecting a lot of people to say we have played 3 bad matches in a row blah blah, you guys should concentrate on the positive aspect of this

we have beat them how many times in a row now? It's no coincidence, we have their number, sure things can be much prettier playing-wise but we are ahead of Madrid by 7 points and if we win our left over match we are ahead of atletico by 6, how can you guys complain?

What's the point of discussing, if we can't point out the problems everyone sees? It's a good thing we're scrapping wins, but the team's form need to improve. Nothing has been won yet.

 

[BarcaGirl]

Not surprised we played that badly ...we almost always do when we play at 4 pm

Yet we still won. But kinda sad that we couldn't even score a single goal against a 9-men Atletico
