Arsenal is the real deal. They are capable of defensive and offensive football. Just had 4 xG against Napoli. Only lack star players in attack.

The final came down to penalties which is cruel lottery. They nullified PSG in the final. Created nothing except the pen.

The only thing with them is that their bottling gene is definitely still in there. I wouldn't want to face them but if comes to that we would need to put up hell of a performance. Control the ball completely and penetrate their defense, if anyone can do it it's Barca. But even PSG looked helpless.
 
I hope we’ll somehow be able to take on at least Arsenal, PSG and Bayern in KO matches.

I don’t want to reach the semifinals by beating mediocre teams.
 
I want to get to the final by beating all the lowest ranked teams and win the final against feyenoord. They will make it some how.

We only remember the winners not how they got there

He was out of his comfort zone at Barca as couldn't do what is required of him. At Pool he can relax and open up more as they play more conservative run of the mill football.

I think he'd be butthurt that despite being the team captain, Barca left him out, so has a chip on his shoulder. In that sense he'll go all out, sort of a psychological factor with some players.
 
Still not fully convinced by the back four. Feyenoord could've scored two more goals if it wasn't for the close offsides.
 
PSG's transfers this season have been underwhelming. No real reinforcements in defence and Akliouche and Ferran up top, neither of which are world class. Also they are fighting complacency and don't think they have it in them to make the extra push to complete 3 in a row.

Arsenal look exceptional in an exceptionally weak league from an attacking perspective, but they have no pedigree in the competition, and don't have enough up top to take advantage of some of the top heavy balanced sides like us and Bayern.

And so, if they can avoid each other, I think a Bayern Barca final could be on the cards. Those two are the best attacking sides in the world by a fair distance, and on their day, are the only sides that come across as unplayable.

Ok smartass.

Will wait until PSG October 20th for the true CL Test. If we manage to outscore them, then this strategy of maxing mid and attack could work.

Because of this style of play, where our offside has "saved" us many times, we’re able to score three goals against any team. Sometimes the milimeters will be on our side, and sometimes they won’t, but complaining because we conceded one goal while scoring five is just ridiculous.

I think Madrid's midfield is so dysfunctional it's kind of lulled Barca fans into a false sense of security when it comes to the lethality of pace. Against PSG it could be a bloodbath tbh.

We're playing City, PSG and Real Madrid soon enough. Though knowing your usual mental gymnastics, once we've beaten them all, it will not count for you as "real matches" anyway. RM shit and Mou past it, City in post Guardiola transition and PSG didn't start their season yet, so nothing will count. :mou:

Funny you should mention mental gymnastics while we haven't defeated anyone of note in Europe, over the past two seasons. Bar that Bayern home win in the league phase of course. But I know the usual excuses, about red cards and refs being against us.
