Poor DC. Looked absolutely crushed. Nothing worse than going out with an L and worse knowing that you are runner up to the two GOATs of their respective divisions. I hope history is kinder to DC and remembers him more than just a bridesmaid. This man beat Rumble Johnson twice and beat Josh Barnett and Derrick Lewis as a criminally undersized heavy. Hope his eye heals too. Stipe got away with some egregious eyepokes


And now let's see if Stipe does the right thing and gives Ngannou a rematch. He's the only one worthy of the next shot at the belt. I don't care how convincing his first win was

Same here I actually prefer playing City than those eruuku Lyon guys
Their attackers are lightning quick so we need to use our brain with that high line. Still I struggle to see a team that doesn't leak 2-3 goals against our attack on any given night especially now that the old Müller is back.

Anyways Lyon chopped it in 2010. No reason they shouldn't get an encore 10 years on

You can see mueller playing with tenacity again. I told you that pep was ruining his game and weakened Bayern with his style. Pep was playing Spanish football with German players.

I actually prefer we are playing Lyon, there’s nothing this Lyon team can threaten us with apart from parking the bus. We have always faced a very strong side at this stage of the competition for the past 8 years, this time around let’s enjoy strolling into the finals with ease.
Lol. This your overconfidence dey burst my brain. It's warranted anyway.

I can share in it in the sense that it is humanly impossible that we play the kind of rubbish City played in that first half. I don't think they had a clear cut chance within the first 50 minutes

Still the game has to be played but obviously if we play to even 80% of our abilities Lyon will not survive

Not when Mercedes had to move LH's entire team to make things happen for the sissy. When F1 greats are mentioned, his name will not be remembered as a true Champion.

More importantly though, when will Redbull find a proper internal competition for Max?
Egbon haba. Moved from where to where? All we know is when they ask who won the WDC in 2016 there will be only one answer, Nico

Why does Max need competition when he is driving an inferior car? The competition he had ran away to Renault anyway. Besides Max is pursuing two faster cars how does a proper internal competition help anything

DC vs Stipe trilogy should be epic.

Also want to see Jairzinho and JDS. A lot of people are writing off JDS which is surprising to me because this man lost to two of the top 4 guys in the division but we saw same Rozenstruik didn't survive 20 seconds with Ngannou

Na so Bayern turn us to motivational speakers ko? grin

This life is not fair o.

Y'all keep motivating yourselves o.

Bayern will flog us. Call me defeatist or whatever idc.

The only thing, the only thing, that will save us is Messi!!!

Only Messi can save us. All these analysis you people are doing is arrant waste of time. Like someone rightly said up there, let's hope we lose humbly.

If Messi doesn't turn up(with what I saw against Naples, he will), or if Bayern are able to hold him, itaf finish.

Y'all need to be seeing things the way they are and stop hoping and motivating each other.

Azzin, like this is the first game of the season grin

If we play that shiit we played against Naples for Bayern, lol. Even Ter Stegen go dey shame to pick ball for back of net cheesy


Maybe Dembouz can, maybe, just maybe. He has a lot to prove, doubters(i still believe in him) wrong.

The only hope is to hope Messi bails is out, else, they're coming back to Barcelona tomorrow

Mandem were talking about Bayern vs Pep reunion. Lyon didn't get the memo apparently. Hope we don't go into the game overconfident. Would have preferred we faced City knowing there would be zero chance of complacency

Anyway I would be furiously rooting for RB Leipzig to beat PSG on Tuesday. It would be MENTAL if they get to the Finals.

Exactly.

Maybe Sane can learn one or two things from him.

Lewy scoring only a goal didn’t go down well with me honestly.
Let him keep some in the chamber for semis and possibly finals abeg. Not like he can be caught

The Blazers can not afford to play the way they played tonight against the Grizzlies or even the Lakers because they will get blown away! They were very poor tonight especially on defense. They looked extremely fatigued with heavy legs. I am worried they may have nothing left for the post season if they don't get themselves together quick. LeVert will defintely have to seek another team once everyone is healthy and back for the Net.
If the Nets GM get sense he go package Kyrie give one sucker GM for draft picks and build with LeVert and KD. Pattern no dey lie.

Celtics have a better record before he came he comes Celtics are worse, he leaves Celtics are better again, he joins the Nets and they have a winning record when he doesn't play. If KD can get out of his feelings. He and LeVert are a much better fit.

Lyon is defending too deep for comfort.
City can still win this game scoring 3 goals...

I tell una say this Man City no really be threat. Their sharpest striker no dey pitch. If this is what they are going to play against us, then they might as well lose here because the frustration of that Madrid demolition wey him cause, na him we go take out on Pep

True.

But the same Kovac was doing well at Eintracht Frankfurt, just like this Leipzig coach.
Nagelsmann vs Kovac is night and day. I know Kovac won a trophy but in terms of style of play e no close at all

Kovac was not highly rated. His appointment was not welcomed by everyone. He did an okay/decent job at Frankfurt that is all.
There is no comparison between the hype of AVB and the hype of Kovac, exactly because Kovac had no hype.
Maybe you should ask A40 and Dayo or anybody who follows the league closely.

P.S And how does his performance at Frankfurt change my original statement which was that he was clueless at Bayern?
Kovac na normal Bayern alumni parapo. His shock win vs Bayern also had us optimistic as we felt he would wean us off the tiki taka dependency. The idea was he could take us to play like Jupp's Bayern

However we quickly came to realize this man no get any pattern and his cup win na just smash and grab like Roberto Martinez take do City

We all know how he won so tey he couldn't wait to run away. Nah. That ain't a champion in my books or in anybody's books sef.
How is he not a Champion? So who won the Driver's title that year then? He retired from the sport, not like he ran to another team.

He's not raced since so it can be said he was sincere about his motives. Besides he's expected to lose to Hamilton as he's always been the inferior driver but he gave Hamilton a better fight than Bottas

They don't t need him on equal footing with Hamilton, or they'd always be fighting for the same tarmac and ruin each other's chances as happened in 2007 when Raikkonen beat him and Alonso by one point.

I doubt Hamilton will be top 3 without a Merc engine.

I don't care about the form Bayern are in, Messi will decide how the game ends. If Messi tuns up, no team in the world can stop Barcelona...

Boateng and Neuer will be scared seeing Messi take to the field. I hope that in the first 10-15mins, Messi will have the chance to run at Boateng as that will leave Bayern scared.

Talking about motivation, if the players are not motivated by the fact that virtually everyone has written them off then they don't deserve this stage.
Loool where this confidence been come from? Is it the same Barcelona all of us dey watch this season? Messi werey wo grin grin

The only reason it is even a 50-50 is because we have a deficient coach who cant take bold decisions and start the right players. Only 4-5 players in this Bayern team will walk straight into this Barca first eleven. A combined eleven of both teams shows its 50-50 and the side that takes the most of its chances would go on to win. It will never be rout.

A combined 11 of both teams' starters:

Goalkeeper= MATS over M. Neur
RB= J. Kimmich over N. Semedo
LB= A. Davies over weak man J. Alba
CB= G. Pique = He is light years ahead of J. Boateng even at the twillight of his career.
CB= C. Lengelet = He is a better Left sided CB to D. Alaba
DMF= S. Buequets= A. Goretzka doesnt come close here
CMF= Its definitely a tie between FDJ and Thiago A. Hard to choose who is better.
AMF= T. Muller over A. Vidal
RWF= GOAT no contest here
LWF= S. Gnabry over A. Griezman
CF= R. Lewandoski over overwieght L. Suarez

5 Barca players
5 Bayern players
A tie between FDJ and Thiago

Bayern are good, but definitely not superior to Barca even if this Barca team has been shit all season and can disappoint when you least expect them. They can also pull up maximum surprises and grind out results when you write them off. Tonights' game is nobodys really and can swing either way. This would be Bayern's toughest game of the season. They faced an amateurish Chelsea side so you can call them super powers at the back of that.

ABOVE all, a motivated Messi on beast mode is something no team canhandle, even when he is battling a knock.
Imagine thinking Ter Stegen is better than his daddy Neuer and thinking Busquets at this stage is nearly as good as Goretzka. Pique? El ho el. You even tied De Jong with Alcantara?

What kind of ridiculous homerism is this? Smh

Anyway was your Messi handled or naah?

Not enough credit is given to Hansi Flick. I remember the good old days of Niko Kovac and I thank God for little mercies. When I knew that man was different was when I saw him divide pitch into 30 squares as part of his training procedures.


And Alphonso Davies. Omo good scouting will save your team unnecessary spending. Still can't believe that boy is 19. Meanwhile some people want to pay £60m for Ben Chilwell grin grin

Salute to Thomas Müller. We keep hearing of LeBron and revenge season but it's Müller who has had the real revenge season.

I will take him as a backup since Coman is always injured anyway. Losing Thiago, Coutinho and Perisic in one summer window is a lot of quality depth anyway you look at it

He is a deep lying playmaker and less of a DM. He is as much to blame as the rest of his teammates. For all his bad moments, he has also had many more brilliant moments as evidenced by his longevity, trophyhaul and recognition as the best in his position.

Today is a very terrible day for the entire team.
Busquets a deep lying playmaker? Lool since when?

All those recruitments are misfits,

Griezman is a direct attacker who suits a counter attacking team more bt Barcelona board decided to buy him for 100M

Coutinho is not a left winger and doesnt have the pace for wing football yet Barcelona bought him for 120M, Coutinho is about to be shipped out by Bayern again or pacy wingers like Coman Sane Gnabry

Dembele is a child who never grew up and is always partying, eating pizza or playing fortinet overnight, Yet Barcelona bought him

The player that fits them best was Neymar and Messi told them he will take a paycut to get Neymar back

Maicon that was on his way to Roma, someone just checked the news saw Maicon and decided to hijack the deal they quickly sold him off,
Someone thought a Vidal at 32 who binge drinks and doesnt take care of himself is a good deal for midfield, WHen Bayern intentionally packaged him and got a younger Goretzka
almost eveyr transfer decision has been a massive fail since they sold Neymar
Barca's destruction has been gradual and systematic. The day Messi leaves that team they will be positively finished.

How do you whiff on recruitments from defense to attack. I've never seen anything like it before

Their only hope for a brighter future is literally Ansu Fati

Him no just wan extend which I wonder why. He stayed with old man Alonso in midfield and permacrock Robbery era.

How is it now that we have a back line of two world cup winners, Alphonso goddamn Davies and Sane, Gnabry and Coman to replace Robbery that he is thinking of a new challenge

Very weird flex. Does he think Liverpool is better positioned in the next 3 years than Bayern, surely he has front row seat to know that this is unlikely
