Wouldn't mind them if the QFs then?

We have Suarez, Coutinho, Dembele etc... All on astronomical wages. If they cannot pull it off against Malaga because Messi & Iniesta are missing, then we would have learned something painful but extremely important as well.

I hope it's just so that he can rest for Chelsea. If we can't beat last-placed Malaga without Messi, then maybe we should not win the league. Really?

I have high hopes for this player. With all the big games coming, this injury is very bad news.

Will he be able to play against Chelsea?

Messi Suarez Coutinho

Good player. Sucks that he got injured.

So awesome that he has finally broken his Chelsea duck. I now expect more goals in the 2nd leg.

Messi Iniesta Rakitic

I am very optimistic about the 2nd leg. We will tonk them.

Let's not forget 11/12 semis when we hit the post 4 times and had chances galore in both legs yet Chelsea went through without pulling off a single organized attack against us. Tonight, Chelsea had good shots with Willian and another (that resulted in their goal) that was more like a huge...

I have a bad feeling about this match. Chelsea are well rested, whereas we were chasing after yet another Copa del Rey. Also, none of our $300m signings is expected to make any impact.

Hopefully, our shitty recent performances have to do with the team conserving energy and preparing for the Chelsea game. Hopefully.

That save from Cilessen was literally unbelievable.

Why no Coutinho? Why not rest Iniesta?

This and only this!

Their defensive performance against us in 2009 was the best I have seen against Barca (maybe Atletico approached it and also possessed some offensive game to boot) but in 2012 it was cosmic fortune and some brainfarts from Valdez that did us in.

We have the best defense in Europe this season. Often this is the most important factor for winning the CL. Also, both City and Bayern had some lousy games and lots of luck this season.

I thought that our victory was more than deserved, we created a lot of chances. Only black spot, that Alaves managed to launch two great counters behind our defense in the first half, one of which resulted in a goal.

Yes, you are right, butthurt fans of opposing clubs are right to call us Uefalona. And yes, we play like crap, only to luck out the best results in all of Europe this season.
