[jaype]

So this is what it feels like to be RM, minus the refs of course.

Lucky af

I’m happy 😂

Why are people overreacting? Real Madrid have won CLs this way consistently. We've played great so many times and lost.
Shit performance, good result. I'll take it, thanks.

You're tripping. Madrid had some legendary players when they did that. Easy to decide games with prime CR, Ramos, Di Maria, Modric etc. That's what people don't get and project some unreal expectations on this Barca side. We lack the personnel to do it.

One positive I'd take out of this is our CBs are solid. Martini and Cubarsi had a good game.

The rest of the team played like shit.

 

[serghei]

Yes.

Barca would have been delighted with 1-0 defeat the way that game went and Newcastle a bit disspointed not more.

Sure. 1-0 is not terrible result for us the 1-1 is a gift really, no argument here. 2-0 would have required some luck for Newcastle.

 

[Skalman]

We'll probably get hammered in semis or final anyway.

Optimistic...we can just as well win it with 4 goals, that is how this team rolls.

That's how I saw it as well. The 2CBs were the best of the bunch, with a lot of balls flying in the box.

The rest, from poor to terrible.

Nah 2-0 would have been more than fair.

Barca were fairly happy to get out of there with 1-0 way they were outplayed.

Yeah you name it. In CL, just the result is important.
So many people are complaining here, but I haven't been this emotionally happy this season as I was after Yamal's goal today. It's moments like these that make me watch football.

Disagree, they were carved open time and time again, especially Martin who has no idea of how to play a high line. Not that the others are experts..

 

[ZenI]

Of course. Team barely made an attempt to win it. Clear tactics to keep the tie alive for return game.

Wish we did this against Atletico in Copa tbh…

Barca fans still singing inside the stadium, getting a lucky draw against a Premier League side that might not even finish top 10 this season. 😂

From what clear chances? Maybe with 100% conversion rate. But then we could have scored that one with Lewandowski.

 

[Joan]

Newcastle barely created anything despite being a far better team tonight. 1-0 would’ve been fair but who cares. Doesn’t work that way.
