He can't stop scoring!!! On a more serious note, it was just one of those unlucky moments. Fortunately for us it was only after we scored 3.

I also expect Bayern to go through. Porto are simply unable to cover the two missing defenders. I would love it if they went out though. Porto need at least one goal at the Allianz to stand any chance.

He has already scored more crucial goals that David Villa did. And there is still way to go still.

He beat Arsenal 0-2 last season. Arsenal were down to 10 men though.

They are the better team and they play at home. Certainly the favorites. But Atletico are the John McClane of football teams and cannot be discounted.

Suarez Messi Neymar HM: Busquets and Xavi.

Very interesting points made there. Alves has always been a pillar for Messi, that is definitely true.

I will re-watch the highlights. Only went over them once.

Good and level-headed comments from Suarez there. 100% valid statement. :cheers:

I second that. In fact, I think that the Spanish ref shied away from doing what the rules demand because he felt that with 3 Spanish teams competing directly with Bayern for the Big Trophy, such a decision would have come under extreme scrutiny. I have always maintained that the refs for the...

Lots of Barca newbies, only seem to recollect what was brilliant about Pep (which was a heck of a lot to be certain) but completely forget his several shortcomings, and there were a few.

Yes, it most certainly did. Prime Xavi (and Iniesta) is something we will never witness in our lifetimes again. In the sense of two midfield geniuses playing side by side for so long and so brilliantly. A little bit of both to be certain. It is clear that Xavi merits a bit more playing time to...

Has always been my position, and I have been highly critical of our non-Messi attackers for ages. Before our board finally saw the light and spend mountains of euros in order to bring what we badly needed: attacking players worthy of sharing the pitch with Messi. The reason why I made that...

I agree on all three points that you have raised there and then some.

I was thinking about posting those disastrous results as well, but since the discussion revolved around Pep, I thought I had to restrict myself to his four years with us. But nice of you to point out our persistent underachieving in CL away games until :lucho: came along. In fact, I would say...

I think his price was just about right.

Has already far surpassed whatever Alexis has ever done for Barca. Is already justifying his transfer fee. Score crucial away CL goals against mega-rich oil clubs. End of story. He can now piss away 10 chances against Getafe for all I care.

OK, you may be right, but which is this team that has played better than us this season. I am all ears. Honestly. You can take as long as you want to think about it. Well, all of those Verrattis and Silvas and Mottas and Ibras were playing in the GS game when we beat them 3-1 again.

Our CL away games under Pep (knock out rounds only) 2008/09: Lyon-Barcelona 1-1 Bayern Munich-Barcelona 1-1 (first leg finished 4-0 for us) Chelsea-Barcelona 1-1 (:iniesta:) 2009/10 Stuttgart-Barcelona 1-1 Arsenal-Barcelona 2-2 Inter-Barcelona 3-1 2010/11 Arsenal-Barcelona...

bwin still have Bayern Munich as 2nd favorites for the CL. While I would save that honor for Real Madrid, I would still expect the Bavarian club to go through come next Tuesday. Far from the cakewalk we all thought it would be though.
