PBP: UEFA CL 1/4, Leg 1 | FC Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid CF | 1 April 2014 [R]

The second leg will be a lot more dramatic than it needed to be.

 

we need to score in the FT I would say

 

Well this just proves that parking the bus works against Barcelona. Man so many free kicks and corners and no danger at all IMO.

 

Could end up like this for them

 

I dunno about "much", but little, yes.

 

I would say the 2nd leg could shape up our season possibly

 

Atletico this weekend home with Villarreal, they kickoff first.
Barca home against Betis who are bottom with 22 points and as good as relegated (8 points from 19th place). Rest many.

 

Anyone says no team ever make it by losing 2-0 without an away goal.

Well, Barcelona is the only team that does.

 

I would say lets get this goal keeper next season and a brand new defender

 

Barca was always going to go and try to score at the Calderon. Sure the fact they wouldn't need to score would have been better but they would have attacked anyway.

 

First, we need to fight for La liga because its only the title which we're in full control of our destiny. Win the game against AM, and that's could be it. I'd say rest the key players if we're leading by 2-3 goals.

 

Shoutout to Bartra as well. Played well.

 

Im not saying you are wrong but this a weird game to complain about this
Bartra was excellent
@unclesox hehe

 

This was true tonight, even though that system worked well against City and Madrid

 

I was surprised that he didn't send anyone off considering both sides could have had people off. Arda was a second yellow waiting to happen (Gabi as well). Iniesta shoulda been off with that dive in the box. Neymar also had a lot of theatrics but the ref wasn't interested with sending anyone off it seemed like.

 

Why was Iniesta on the left? We can clearly see what happens when you put him in the middle.

 

He was in the left against Madrid and City too and played great. And has been positionned on the left too in the Spanish team and it works perfectly.

 

because cesc mother****** Fagregas HAD to be put in the formation somehow to please Tata.

 

NO , iniesta as a winger does NOT work , cesc as false #9 does NOT work , us playing 4-3-3 with 3 strikers infront works better than anything , what is wrong with everyone ffs , haven't you guys been watching our games these previous seasons including this one ?!?!?!

 

anyone know how Pique is?

 

Bruised back of the leg something ... I forgot
He should be alright for the Betis game but I don't think he will play.
BTW I read who is Pique and it took about 6 second to realize it was how
EDIT: So I can read? I thought I read it wrong

 

So Iniesta didn't have great games against City & Madrid?
He hasn't been great for Spain in that position?

 

Damn someone saw it

I think Cesc has something on Tata. Is he blackmailing Tata to guarantee starting role ?
