PBP: UEFA Champions League - Quarterfinal 1st Leg | FC Barcelona v AS Roma | 4 April 2018 [R]

Dafuq are they doing there?

 

ah there's the away goal

 

Dzeko. 3-1.

 

Suarez been garbage whole game, and after Paulinho came he's been garbage too.

 

And comes on Shitmes! What does Dembélé have to do to play?

 

Denis on for Iniesta

 

Haha this ref got instructions from Uefa to give every foul for Roma.

 

Suarez!! 4-1

 

suarez. 4-1

 

And gets his usual goal at the end.

 

SUAREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUIS.


4-1.

 

FT: 4-1.

This means a 3-0 score for Roma would take them through on away goals. 3-1 would see us through. If we get an away goal, Roma would need 4 to force ET, 5 to advance outright.

 

All 3 still in the mix for return leg, only two Yellows given to Kolarov and Strootman.

 

Luis's first CL goal in 1,058 minutes!

 

Marca is not a big Barca supporter but their "ref" said no PK on either controversy:

No PK on Semedo, some contact but Dzeko then falls: http://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2018/04/04/5ac52851268e3e50478b4637.html

Outside the box confirmed: http://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2018/04/04/5ac52ebd268e3e47478b460b.html

 

Not sure how true, but reports saying Messi struggling with his hamstring.

 

Good game by Barca. Roma didn't really look too threatening. I didn't like Ter Stegen being a bit too casual with the ball. Made two mistakes that would be goals at least 90% of the time. Unacceptable. Other than his sloppiness, great performance by the team.

Watching Messi today he didn't really seem limited physically. He commanded so much defensive attention to open up the pitch for others and didn't really have amazing chances. Could have scored 1-2 goals but it's not like he choked or looked bad. He played a part in the second and third goals. Meh performance but I'm happier that Suarez got one than if Messi got a hat trick if it means.that Suarez gets his mojo back in the CL ala 2015 when he was nutmegging David Luiz.

Happy with the game overall!

 

He could care less about the Ronaldo thing HEHEHE... It's all about winning the game and he's happy for his buddy Suarez getting on the board.
