CL Round 3: Barca - Bayern 4-1

[serghei]

We will not lose this game.

 

[Alik]

Let's hope.

 

[FC B]

Given the circumstances, not losing would be enough for me. A win is quite unlikely imo.

I spoke with 2 Bayern fans today, both think they will beat Barca easily.

They think it's the same Barca from 2 years ago.

Kingsi will teach them a lesson which they will never forget😈

 

[Loki]

I say we beat them with 3 goals difference. Nothing wrong with confidence with our current form. We just need to avoid game losing actions like an early red card or stupid penalties.

Champions League curse. I will be NTC here.

We have met them 13 times since 1998. We have only Won 2 times. And drawn 1.
Since the last time we won, the 2014-2015 first leg:-

We have played them 6 times.
0 Win. 5 Scored - 22 Conceded.

The odds are heavily stacked against us. They seem to be our Kryptonite.
And honestly, if we can't win yesterday, with such a great start and such a good team, I don't know when we can.

Hopefully Olmo. But would be perfectly ok with Fermin too. Fermin looked very sharp in the game vs Sevilla, I think he might be ready for Bayern.

I hope not Fermin, I'd rather start Gavi - Casado DM I actually think we should try to control a little, we can't afford too many turnovers with Olise and Musiala running at Pena Sure play Flick-ball, but not with Fermin from the start and maybe just a little more conservative

 

[Joan]

Gavi has played 11 minutes in the last 12 months. Would be crazy to see him start against Bayern

 

[Joan]

No one beats Vitus Gerulaitis 17 times in a row

Will be the same tomorrow, time to break the curse

 

[Skalman]

Simple if Pena starts-loss, if not we might edge it

 

[Masetro10]

Well after seeing Real Madrid get a confidence boosting win. This becomes a must win leading up to El Clasico.

If we lose this the season is about to take a nasty turn

 

[Total-Football]

The only reason I'm worried about those coming two games is the keeper. Otherwise I'm 100% bayern and real are no big deal for current barca.

 

[Shindizzle]

My uncertainties arise from Pena in goal and not having our full squad, otherwise us in this form at full strength can beat any team (I.e. Olmo, Gavi, FDJ, araujo back and starting etc). We have been doing well in la liga but the competition now is night and day.

No big deal? They are monumental deals. Bayern has owned us for a long time. We need to break that inferiority complex more than any tactics vs them.

Which leads into RM who is just the classic counter to Barca style. Stop the counter=win the game. It can be won. Easier said than done though. The part about Madrid is they only need 1 mistake to score on failed offside trap. We actually will need to break them down. Though, the press can kill Madrid as Man City has shown 2 years ago.

We also have Inaki Pena...

I think Flick will start with Gavi-FDJ-Olmo and Fermin in attack and play them 90 minutes and the same against Madrid.
