So what's the deal? Are they good or not? Because they left massive holes open against Porto from looking at the replay and that Marega guy missed a lot of sitters

if messi decides to run, instead of his walking around, barca will win.

They are gonna win the champions league, you know vvd has not been dribbled past this entire season so messi is out of the picture

Could say the sane thing about barca vs united letting Rashford have a lot of run ins.

Either way are you gonna judge how weak a team is out of 1 game in a whole season?

That was only in the first 10 minutes of the game. Otherwise, Barcelona were very solid and didn't let Manure have a shot on target at Old Trafford or get more than 2 shots on goal in the two legs. Pique and Lenglet know how to deal with Ngubus like Mane.

It was only in the first 20 against Liverpool and if you watched it you'd know none of the chances were really clear cut except the one they scored from later on. Porto were high energy at the beginning then ran out of juice and Liverpool picked them off easily

Liverpool double champions 2018/19

if barca can get dembele in some games before the tie and have him be match ready, lelverpool are DONE

Gnabry did a number on him v Germany

I'm still not sure how good they are exactly but but I fancy them to beat Barca.

Barca isn't the Xavi/Iniesta Barca anymore and they're susceptible to high-energy pressing teams. Roma beat them last year with that strategy and the scoreline wasn't as close as it indicated. Messi/Suarez/Coutinho etc. won't get the ball in the right places for that reason.

Their defense is also really good and very underrated. Robertson/TAA are excellent wing-backs and VvD/Alisson are commanding, dominant presences at the back. The only types of players that give them trouble are the both speedy and clinical Bale/Mbappe types (The typical targetman Lewandowski/Kane types get shut down and even Ronaldo doesn't match up that well with them) but Barca play a bit too slow and don't have anybody to hold up possession so they don't pose that same matchup problem.

It might be a close game on aggregate but I can only see Liverpool winning.

Why do people act like demeble is god tier? Gets consistently benched by mbappe in the NT and hardly as had many stand out performances in the UCL besides that 1 spurs game. Guys loses the ball a lot and gets bullied by suarez.

Shame he choked when it actually mattered

wow user you can’t just criticize demBASEDle like that
that’s racist

shut the fuck up faggot this isn't nba

he's benched by mbappe because mbappe is marketable and dembele never talks

Mbappe actually performances for france. When they let dembele play in the WC france drew.

So that is the weakness Babel claimed exists.

They basically took it easy yesterday as it was unlikely they'd get knocked out and getting injured or unnecessarily fatigued could have a big impact on the rest of the season

Didn't even try and Porco STILL lost 4-1.

Porto was fucking them by bypassing the midfield. Their CBs were getting time on the ball to make passes over the top to the wingers because Liverpool's FBs pushed way up the pitch. When Firmino came on and started pressing the CBs and not giving them time to make their passes, Porto stopped being dangerous almost entirely.

Can't wait to see Messi dab on them.

Why does he have to run. This is such pea brain thinking. Messi is literally god at being invisible for parts of the game and still being the most important player on the pitch by existing. If he walked to the corner flag two players would move with him.

If your managing messi, you should just stick him in the middle and let him do whatever he wants. Inform the others to adjust to messi's movement
