CL game 5: Chelsea - Barca
- Thread starter Andresito
- Start date
The most important game remaining in 2025. All in for a win, would be a big mental boost comparable to Bayern game last year.
Last year it was enough with 16p to reach top 8 but then there were big teams flopping like RM, Bayern, PSG, City. This season they are winning their games so at the very least we need a draw vs Chelsea to reach minimum 17p.

Nah, not even close. All the remaining LL games are far more important than this one.

Very welcomed would be only a win as Barca is already 11th in the group standings behind the likes of Spurs, Galatasaray and Newcastle.

It’s important for the sake of gaining momentum as we shift into 2026. We have performed poorly and/or had bad luck against the strongest teams this season. Gaining momentum will also snowball into our LL games.
So it is indeed an important game for morale and confidence.
Fortunately its not the last game of UCL, we still have Frankfurt, Slavia Prag and Copenhagen left, where Barca is at home for 2 out of the 3 and should win them all. Nah draw will most likely mean we qualify top 8 if we win the rest (Without looking at the remaining schedule for the three teams you mentioned).

This game is very important on mental level
Losing La Liga games could be worse long term but it's not like any players are gonna lose their hope for drawing to Rayo or losing to Sevilla

Basta yaaaaaaa, Cabron ! y Bona nit 🥂
We gonna bury these financial fair play cheating cockaroaches.
Won't be much time to rest after Bilbao but team will need to be up for it. No need to save anything for Alaves at Camp Nou.
All in and make up for that dropped points vs. Qatar. if we want to make it to top 8. Also Chelsea level on points with us so take out direct contender.

We need the win. We wasted our margin of error with the fuck up vs Brugges. It's not as much about not playing an extra game but more about potentially avoiding the top 3-4 sides until the semifinal and having a chance at a much easier quarterfinal opponent plus having the decider at home.
A draw would be decent but certainly not great.
Last season we had an easy path mainly because we finished 2nd in group phase.
Chelsea are wildly inconsistent. We could have a super tough game or we could win it without much difficulty like vs Newcastle. They will probably show up strong in this, expect a better performance from them than what they showed vs Bayern.
