Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion so barca fans who where the stronger opponents lyon or bayern, since both got thrashed the same way
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion Lyon gave us much more trouble imo.
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion Well, that was pedestrian at best, and I guess it needed to be. Anyways, the result goes in our favour and we're through to face an English team. Great team goal and strike by Keita. Does Toni know what "offside" means?
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion I would love him to get number 7 next season!
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion Hey! That guy was MOTM for Barcelona. He single handedly kept BM from scoring in the first half.
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion Hehe, sorry... how could I have missed that angle?
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion 1. Keep VV, I say... 2. A true "snausage" he is... 3. Yes, I agree, that was a true team golazo...my eyes were darting all over the place. Btw, I think Keita should be given at chance at FKs.
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion God, that yellow jersey is everytime painful to watch !
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion You are totally right about a team golazo. I spent some time with the DVR this morning and counted up 18 passes to lead up to the goal over 42 seconds (started off from a restart by Pique following a Toni foul on Puyol). They passed it all around the back, left side and right side, before moving it forward - in fact, every Barca player touched the ball except Puyol and Valdes.
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion I thought Real was Riberys dream team???
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion Why would he want to to go a team that has been doing worse in the Champions League than his current team?
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion no i said that He mentioned saying he would like to join real madrid awhile back ago an now it barca? i would like to see him here in barca.
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion Look at the stats, and be prepared to be blown away. http://eurosport.yahoo.com/football/champions-league/2008-2009/bayern-barcelona-275976.html 543 accurate passes. Xavi had 91 accurate passes That is out of this world.
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion Do you know when he said that? I know Benzema said stuff in the press last fall, but I don't remember Ribery saying anything. The good thing for Barcelona is that if they decide to go after him they can be aggressive from the very start of the transfer season, whereas Real are going to have to wait until their elections are done and they have to sort out the Ronaldo issue as well. ManU are also reportedly going to go after him hard, but I think the connection with all our francophone internationals should help. Given that Bayern don't want to sell him and that they are in good economic shape, I have to believe it's going to take a king's ransom to buy him.
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion And that's why we shouldn't go for him, in my opinion.
Re: 1/4 UEFA CL 2L | Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona | 14 April 09 | Pre/During/Post Match Discussion For sheer volume that's immense. But technically speaking, Bayern were more efficient with their passing: 299 accurate passes vs. 40 bad ones (7.5:1) while we had 543 to 88 (6.2:1). To me this is another reason why soccer is unquantifiable. Numbers can say a few things, but they can't convey the sheer mastery of the game Barça can display.
