CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

[fergus90]

Liverpool was 10x better than this shit inter team

Barca were appalling at Anfield. Liverpool had no Firmino or Salah that night. Second year in a row the team blew a huge lead, most of the spine of the team were in their 30s and it showed as the 2020 season was an epic embarrassment in front of the world.

 

[Messigician]

Its actually fucking pathetic. What the fuck were they doing?

When Inter scored it was 4 on 4. What were Barcas players doing? Get back you morons.

Don’t remind me of that aids I saw a tragic image of our defensive line during that moment

Bro hadn’t scored a European goal for 20 years until he was against our clowns

 

[KingLeo10]

This game is not comparable at all to the dark days that began with the 0-4 loss to PSG (yes, 6-1 but that was one final flourish).

For years, we absolutely got hammered in CL away games by any good and god forbid, very good to great opponent.

Team was spineless, hopeless, and pathetic. Not remotely close to the fighting and dominating of yesterday, even if we barely lost.

 

[MonteCuler]

We have the best players and best talents around

Fuck is Yamal, Pedri, Cubarsi going to do if not win CL titles?

Financial situation is getting better, the Camp Nou is back and we have a tremendous manager in charge of this project

Many, many reasons for optimism. The CL title is inevitably coming soon

This, we can take it as a learning opportunity. Now no doubt if they ever find themselves in a similar situation, they will look to defend the lead after the pain they suffered last night

 

[jamrock]

This is certainly not comparable to mister days.

But I'm also not in the group that thinks we will be stacking CL.

I think this young group might win 2 in their entire career.

I would have said 3, if we win this year

 

[serghei]

Only Madrid can win many CLs, but frankly, they sacrifice a lot to get that done, and often end up parking the bus vs the biggest rivals at many moments.

But to aim to dominate all of your opponents and rack up many CLs? Impossible.

They might also win 0. My guess is we'll probably win 1 in the next few years.

The overall talent level of this team, bar Yamal, isn't that astronomical.

Cubarsi has a lot more learning to do to become a very good, let alone great CB. He just gets bullied in most big games.

Pedri needs to time his season better.

Yamal is the only clear one of criticism or obvious weaknesses other than some questionable decision making (but he's 17).

And not prioritizing domestic cups or the concept of a treble. Never won a treble in 15 CL wins, even in the dinosaur days of Di Stefano.

It's unsaid but as a club, our intent on all out, unquestioned domination of treble is what ends up hurting us in CL many times. Also happened in 15/16 when MSN flat ran out of gas.

 

[jamrock]

3 golden opportunity to close the CL gab and we fucked it up.

Smh.

Mister days and yesterday, and in all the coach has a large part of the blame.

But with flick we went out like men, so I will never talk shit about him.

But I fucking HATE mister.

 

[soul24rage]

Sleep helped but still having this feeling of annoyance, anger and disappointment.

Thought this was our year, but it is what it is.

Hope we go again next year.

 

[L3v1s]

That's true.

I just don't understand these PL fans, man. Honestly.
Saw fucking Liverpool Insta mokingly use the 4-0 defeat today.
Man fuck these poeple.

We have so many rivalries with PL clubs: Liverpool, Chelsea, United, not too sure about Arsenal. Hating Barca after so many years shows that the problem is with them. Madrid is literally 10 times more toxic in all regards, most priviledged club and they seem to go under the radar more often than not.

They hate us because Barcelona tormented all their fans back in 2008-16. Never has a team garnered so much haters as Prime Barcelona. Even Real Madrid with their golden era 2013-24. Never had as many haters as we did after Prime Barça.

2011 Barca and the late 80s-early 90s Milan are the greatest teams of all time. I used to read non-Barca football forums in the past and a lot of people hated to admit that Pep's Barca might be the greatest team of all time. I dont get why, the same goes with Messi, a lot of Madridistas know deep down he's the GOAT but they just hate to admit it. Probably like you said, this club has tormented them for a lot of time.

Yup.

You look at the winners bar Madrid and they’ve all wracked up their wins in little era’s. Half of Bayerns were a 3peat and they’ve had some mega strong teams and numerous semi final appearances.

Liverpool the same in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

City for how good they were from 17-22 only managing the 1 wins and 1 final.

 

[Pressure]

Inzaghi tactically outsmarted Flick.

It doesn't matter the flashy names or moves, or even if you have overall better players.

Bayern and Barcelona, at their own home, could not beat Inter and Bayern lost.
Barcelona went 2 - 0 down twice.

Maybe Inter doesn't play the most beautiful football, but our team is solid and we are extremely effective.

Even RM win in eras.

Di Stefano and Puskas era: 6

-------

32 year gap. 32!!!!!!!

-------

Pre-Galactico era with Raul, ZZ, Casillas and co: 3

-------

12 year gap

-------

Ancelotti/ZZ era: 6

That's their 15 right there.

We also came back from 0-2 down to 2-2 and 0-2 down to 3-2.

Are you really going to troll about being outplayed over the whole tie with so many more injuries on the Barca side compared to yours. And tougher domestic competition.

You're likely going to end with 0 titles this year. Calma.
