Aguero also got into a scuffle with a fan on the pitch

And Man City fans were fighting with the police at the end, throwing seats and advertising boards at them

lovely stuff!

Pep has psychological issues man, for sure.

He shows insecurity/inferiority complex like many Barca guys while having to repeat to themselves that they are the best thing since slice bread.

He'll cost 40 mil. with bonuses after apparently just one full season with gremio but the kid Madrid got at the same price was "absolutely scandalous".

All these players should be realistically worth 1/10th of the transfer price.

Qatar/PSG upping their diplomacy with the European elite.

Bayern officially announce that they signed a five-year sponsorship deal with Qatar Airways (starting on 1 July 2018). Qatar Airways replaces long-term airline sponsor Lufthansa, who had been Bayern sponsor for 16 years. pic.twitter.com/u5JOJmxost

Bayern being one of the more outspoken teams among the super teams. Let's see if their stance changes after this deal.

AppleBob86 · Feb 20, 2018

Don’t see a lot pep did wrong tbh. Seemed the Wigan manager was raging more.

Apparently, Aguero lashed out because the fan verbally abused him and spat into his ear.

Their organized fans lifted an anti Rummenigge banner the other day with a picture of him with tomatos on his eyes, making the case of him seeing past things he criticized in order to earn the club a sponsorship deal.

Hazard tonight against Farca. Lets see whats he's gonna do. If he puts in two world class performances, he'll come in the summer.

MiamiNative0722 · Feb 20, 2018

What is Conte thinking having both Giroud and Morata on the bench?

Front 3 of Willian Hazard Pedro. 3 midgets

Shay Z · Feb 20, 2018

Even with Costa gone its hard to root for Chelsea. Alvaro isn't starting though, guess still not fit enough to start.

Shay Z · Feb 20, 2018

Man..... they spent so much money on Dembele and Coutinho and I don’t see how they can play them against proper teams. I know Coutinho is cup tied but still. Paulinho has cemented his place and that leaves both of them out in the cold. I guess if they move Iniesta along this summer they can play Coutinho there but that’s not his best position.

Seems like a huge amount to spend for those players who don’t really fit.

MiamiNative0722 · Feb 20, 2018

Lol how does Morata feel right now? Went to Chelsea to play in big games but he's still on the bench and they didn't even start a 9. I'm sure his confidence is in tatters at the moment

Akramzizou · Feb 20, 2018

Keep Bakayoko as far away from the stadium as possible and we good.

They’re playing against Barcelona. Not hard to root for Chelsea.

Shay Z · Feb 20, 2018

People like Hazard and Kante who get hyped to the skies by EPL folks better show up tonight.

Rooting for Fabregas and Pedrito is not so easy for me. Also the lingering ghosts of proper scumbags like Terry and Costa.

Having said that I hope they win 3-0. Lol Cules are in fantastic form though.

Oscar · Feb 20, 2018

It seems he's trying to flood the space where Barça normally takes charge: the midfield. And try to win that battle like that. Marca tracker says they're playing with a 3-4-3 (?)

Shay Z · Feb 20, 2018

It is 3-4-3. With a false 9.

Shay Z · Feb 20, 2018

Alright boys......... what’s the over/under on penalties + red cards against Chelsea tonight? 1.5? Or do they save that for the second leg always.

Oscar · Feb 20, 2018

Should have scored that one, all the time in the world for the header and misses the mark.

Digital · Feb 20, 2018

I’m sticking with the tried and tested as i’ve seen posted here many times before, “if only there was a way they could both lose”

Shay Z · Feb 20, 2018

Easy header missed.

Oscar · Feb 20, 2018

It's not really an exciting match so far. You would expect with that extra packed mid, Chelsea would be on them pressuring like mad men. Especially at home with their crowds cheering them onwards. Instead all those midfielders have seemingly become a 2nd defensive line, in which they just wait for Barça's attack to hit them.

75% ball possession for Barcelona. Sheesh.
