first time in a while I actually enjoyed that match (apart from us falling to pieces near the end), mainly due to Messi's magic ofc

Nice game for a change. We slacked a little in the end and if Messi/Suarez weren't so focused on helping Griezmann score, we would have had 4-5.
Otherwise same old CL groups stuff. Everybody in here moans and predicts our early exit but we eventually win the group. We are now the team with most no 1 finishes in CL groups ever.

Good first half especially from messi. Some nice goals and play in parts. What was that last half hour about though. If there's a tough game 4 days later the best way to save energy is to keep the ball and slow the game down. Would have been able to do that years ago but this team just don't seem to be able to do it. Might have been some tactical instructions from valverde that caused it but some of the players were just giving the ball away needlessly or under a little bit of pressure. Still a good win in the end

Good game from the GOAT, ....
Dortmund was weak and harmless in offence (Reus! hello? not here) and not tight enough in the defense. Last thing helped a lot, while we have very hard time against teams that park the bus, - teams who do not have a strikt defensive focus are super to play against for us.

The fact that Ivan "blunder" Raktic played, and Wague/Junior was, thanks to their un-aligned offense no problem. Against stronger teams - classico/Atleti, this will be a big problem.

I do not think we will survive with the likes of Rakitic, Wague, Junior, Briquets against Real, ManCity, Pool.

On the other hand, other teams also seem to have a weak moment:
1.Pool only drew at home against Napoli and had a hard time scoring after the equalizer but Naploli defended with everything, and Pool needed these points
2. MCity 1:1 home vs. Donjezk, but it was clear that they will advance ...

maybe we do have a slight chance to win another round or even 2 in CL!

The amount of mistakes and sloppy play from Dortmund was surprising. Most La Liga teams who come to Camp Nou don’t make as many as that.

Fun fact: We have the joint 2nd best defense in the CL. Just 3 conceded. PSG are best with only 2 (both against Real Madrid) City are level with us with 3 in their Mickey Mouse group.

Super dooper Klopp team have conceded an embarrassing 8.

We have been very lucky in CL. Look at our LaLiga record. More accurate result.

ter Stegen has without a doubt been our best player in CL, which says a lot about our performances.

this stats is useless though, go to watch how many shots on target we have conceded. a mediocre Borussia yesterday created at least 5 great chances, this at Camp Nou. Freaking Slavia Praga had like 25 shots in that game we played in Czech Republic :lol:
