CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

[Luftstalag14]

Hope Suárez is on fire, rest of the team firing on two cylinders

He will be crucial. I don't see Messi and Neymar scoring right now.

 

[jairzinho]

The Saurez battle vs Godin and Giménez will be epic. We need the beast at his best.

 

[Lelouch vi Britannia]

Defending a 1 goal lead without Pique is gonna be hell...

On the other hand, if Bartra plays, it's his last shot to prove himself, so maybe he'll actually do well. If he doesn't do well in this game he's probably gone this summer.

 

[jairzinho]

When was the last time Bartra even played a game. ?

 

[FC B]

Since Lucho took over Barca our record vs. Atletico is 7 wins from 7 matches. If the 8th win won't be possible I'd be more than content with the first draw against them !

The score line in between is also impressive, Barca scored 14 goals and conceded only 6.

 

[Ghostmaster]

One goal by us and Atletico are doomed, they might try to attack more and leave more spaces open. We'll probably see another red card on Wednesday as well, they just can't stop our attack without super high intensity which results in players losing their mind and going for reckless tackles.

 

[Barcaman]

Barca really needs to step up as last 4 matches were really poor for Barca standard.
There are no reserve matches or next time, this is it. Every player needs to give 100% and I don't give a damn what your name is or how tired you are. If you can look relaxed and still have energy after final whistle is blown, you are letting the club and fans down.
So go for it and play the game Barca way!

 

[Neymessi]

We won the last many games against atletico but can't remember the last time we had a lead from the start. Has been a pattern for some time with them scoring first and then us making a comeback. I hope they don't score first this time though. I would probably get a heart attack or something.

 

[vlad]

if messi will play on the right, i expect win, if not then it might become frustrating

 

[gasgas]

When it rains it pours

 

[gasgas]

last time we scored first at goal at calderon was on may 17 2014-15. It was the only goal of match and it was liga 2014-15 title clinching goal

By scoring first I mean atletico also scoring but not first

It's also funny how it tends to be Torres scoring that first goal too. Two out of three games against them this season and at least once last season with that super early goal in the Copa that made me shit myself. Thank God that Torres is suspended. Can't stop scoring against us.

 

[gasgas]

Pique out is a big negative.
He alone wins atleast 70% of all our won duels.
With Atletico being good at setpieces
