Lyon abeg win

Abeg they should give it a rest and go home... I can't watch this their trash at semi finals. Haba!!!

Man City vs Bayern please!!! Let's see a true clash of proper attacking teams!!!

That was brilliant from Debruyne!!! Great job from Sterling!!!

Lemme know whether Depay and his team mates won't stop this rubbish over defensiveness, and play the game of football!!!

At this level of competition, I expect more from all teams!!!

EbukaHades10:
City don wake up like this. They just dey launch attack like......


Hope it won't be another Southampton

Seriously... Lyon can't keep this up with over 20 minutes left.

While typing... The equalizer came in!!!

ReeLoaDead:
Bros our EPL have the reputation of chokers in Europe, Man C is our ONLY hope

Man City??! Under Guardiola, without Aguero??!... There's no hope then!!! Make we talk true!

Karleb:
Man City should see this as the Lord's doing.

They shouldn't try to equalize or win.

The Germans that we know are not Messiful.

Well, Guardiola has got to find a way na... Bayern can't be all invincible!

After all, he coached them a lifetime ago!!!

EbukaHades10:
They dey slide like say okra dey pitch

If Lyon gets their counterattack right, this could be game over anytime...

However, if Man City equalizes, then the game is over for Lyon.

Man City fit collect Airtel soon... This game is not going well for them at all. No freedom to move at all.

Somebody has been seriously studying Guardiola's game techniques... Smart team and game set up by Lyon.

Babaj145:
U be dey talk well b4 oh until u come add united join d conversation.. Na there everything come spoil,..united wey sevilla go comot tomorrow..

Leave those people... 3rd position still dey shack them!!! Lopetegui and his boys go clear their delusion tomorrow.

Humanoid01:
The Man city I just watched will concede nothing less than 5 goals against Bayern, that's if they even qualify.

Lyon will fare even worse!!! I don't even see PSG surviving either.

RB Leipzig will give a better account against Bayern tbh.

fergie001:
As it was in the 2013 finals.......

Then the SuperCup between United and Bayern.

Brotherly, let's reason together as men of high football intellect and experience...

How exactly is an average United team under an average manager getting past Sevilla and Inter/Shaktar to a likely SuperCup embarrassment at the hands of Bayern??! Please, explain!!!

ojaysam25:
Man city has to win if not the semi final will be a one way traffic..

Won't even matter honestly... Bayern is already in the final.

It might actually be an all Germany final!!!

tobenuel:
The whites always have the "technical know how"
This life no really balance

Not just about technical know how... Even if Nigerians know exactly what to do, will they do it??! Will they not pocket the money and intentionally do substandard jobs??!... It's more of an integrity issue!

I won't even trust a fellow Nigerian to execute the building project of my personal house.

Let him take his criticisms like a man!!!... He and his team mates didn't turn up last night at all.

But, lack of leadership is not even close to the problem of that team... It's a complete lack of personnel!!!...

Barcelona needs a brand new first eleven... Those guys who played last night should be either benched, or sold completely, with the exception of Messi and Suarez!!!

Nigerians have been joking and pretending about crucial matters since 1970, while taking matters of tribe and ethnicity seriously...

The average Nigerian is selfish, self serving, self seeking, narcissistic, unnecessarily proud, hypocritical, pretentious, intellectually unsound, illogical, indecisive, morally bankrupt, politically unfit, unteachable, self righteous, and outrightly moronic!!!

Sir. Kperogi, you have written well! But, this is lost on the majority of this voting and wayward generation!!!... This Nation is lost!!! Pity!!!

GEEBITE:
You are a real football buff.Refreshing to read this brilliant submission. How can credits go to one man in a team all the time in success and failures are attributed to team members.
The leader must shoulder both most especially the failings.

Precisely...

Just take a look at Bayern team!!! What makes them extremely dangerous is basically the cohesion of individuals of different skill sets who play fluidly as one!!!

This is what has been lacking in Barcelona and Juventus all season long!!!

Rossikk:
The problem is not the laws. The problem is that they only enforce them on Nigerians. Other traders from Mali, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin etc are allowed to trade anyhow they want. Only Nigerians are targeted. There are also laws against illegal mining in Ghana, yet there are thousands of Chinese, Indians and Lebanese mining gold illegally there with impunity. So, Ghana has laws. Just that they only enforce them on Nigerians.

Doesn't matter how or on who laws are enforced! Whether selectively or totally.... A law is a law!!! It is what it is!

You should never flout laid down laws especially in a foreign or strange land!!! Simple as that!!!

For me, there is no case here!!! Nigeria and Nigerians should return the favour here if Ghanaians are guilty of the same breach!.

Laws should be upheld and obeyed by all whether local or foreign, especially foreign!!!

Fuckingmallam45:
You are right bro, Angelfrost is a boss I respect so much, now to my own opinion about Messi
Messi is the only constant bright spot in the changing fortunes of Barcelona during the past few years. But despite all his achievements, I had always credited FC Barcelona, the team, for their collective brilliance and for maximizing a genius like Messi.

But this year was different. While Barcelona had been alternating between good and bad, Messi had been so briliiant that it almost felt like he was playing with the Argentine team, especially when the chips were down. Thankfully he was able to lift his team whenever they played bad with his inspirational performances.

He was the reason why they were crowned Liga Champions last season. He was the reason why they were in the Copa del Rey finals last season. He was the sole reason why they went into the 2nd leg against Liverpool with a 3 goal advantage last season as well.

Messi could fight against even the toughest of opponents. But Messi cannot fight against his own team who were pathetic beyond belief. Despite the inspired Bayern who deserved to win and the constant bullying that he underwent in that game, he tried his best. But his own team and coach let him down totally.

If as a fan, I cannot imagine the pain Messi must have undergone watching his team play so badly, after putting his heart and soul into every game. On that day, even if Messi had scored 10 goals, FC Barcelona would have ended up losers.

FC Barcelona deserved to loss to an inspired Liverpool who were fantastic. But I would never forgive the Barcelona team and coach for laying to waste the immense efforts of Messi.

Unlike the other two greats of Barca - Xavi and Iniesta - Messi had been part of this transitional team and held them together. If he had left for another club in search of glory, this club would have fallen apart like Real Madrid.

But he chose to stay behind to help rebuild and that meant less titles and more hard work. The Messi of today is much greater that the Messi who was winning trebles and Ballon D’Ors at will. This Messi is someone who is giving back to the club that made him a legend. He is a true leader and a wonderful player.

So my opinion of Messi has not changed based on the team’s recent defeat. It only keeps growing higher for the way he keeps going, despite all odds - year after year. For me, he will always be above the rest for being such a relentless believer and a superlative performer.

My guy, make we talk am as e be...

Barcelona has been declining for years... Steps should have been taken to blood in young and skilled players, especially at the back and middle.

Now, it looks like the entire pack of apples is completely poisoned and compromised!!!

They didn't put up a fight through out last night!!! No real effort or push from front to back!!!

Football is a team sport! Individual brilliance can never be enough!!! Never!!!

jumper524:
messi has depreciated though but he still remain the goat.

Every player above 30 - 32 has depreciated in one or more ways!!!... Don't single out Messi!!!

Aging and death are inevitable for all!!! He was never gonna shine forever na!!!

The main blame goes to the club management and the coach too, for not taking the initiative to shift the burden off his shoulders... If Madrid and Zidane could keep soaring after Ronaldo left, Barcelona has no excuse!

For me, high point of the game was what youngster Alphonso Davies did to set up Kimmich's goal... That was Messi at least 2 seasons ago.

For a defensive player... That was just MAD!!!

fergie001:
That's why I always enjoy your analysis.

Make I never answer you... By 10pm tomorrow, I will revisit your file!!! If you like run with your gang and hide as usual!

CorGier:
Each time he got on the ball the Bayern players would be all over him like a pack of wolves, constantly fouling and bulling him off the ball, even the few times he managed them fend off his team mates gave him very little options for the final pass. I'm not his biggest fan really, but last night I felt his pains as he stood helpless watching his team capitulate at the back like that.

If I were in his shoes, I would demand for 100% increase in my salary + a brand new first 11 or I walk over to the Serie A. That Saurez's goal was a beauty BTW, best goal of the night for me.

True!!! At least 5 of Bayern goals were quite preventable if the defense had done its job properly!!! 2 of the first half goals were pathetic! The defenders were just strolling around and watching!!!

Half of that first team has got to be axed completely!!!

Enemyofpeace:
Messi be like “let’s start the march all over again”

Under normal circumstances, Messi, Suarez, Alba, Busquets, and Umtiti should have been starting most games this season from the bench...

There ought to have been at least a 2 year transition plan to ease them off that team... Smh!!!

Barcelona, Juventus, and some other top clubs lack foresight!!! What a shame!!!

frankmoney:
When Barca lose they blame the defenders , blame the coach , blame the president , but when they win they start hailing Messi


Messi is a fraud . Barca should sell him now

If Messi is a fraud, then Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo (the real and fake one), Ronaldinho, Cruyff, etc, are all frauds!!!

Please, switch to Formula 1 if football is not your thing!!!

Nothing new here... He is human after all. What has happened has happened. You can't turn the hands of time.

This defeat was a long time coming... After the embarrassment at Anfield last season, a wise board would have taken steps to sort out that dying team of has beens!!! Alas, Bartomeu and co chose to be unfortunate.

People who have been fortunate for a while begin to confuse serendipity with skill!!! Barcelona thought they could ride on the "Messi illusion" forever!!!

If they had even done like Olé or Lampard and promoted serious youths to replace most of those who have been underperforming, they would have fared better last night... This serves as a lesson to all top clubs. Have the foresight to let old players go on time, and blood in young skilled players...

This is something to learn from the following clubs:

1. Bayern Munich
2. Borussia Dortmund
3. Liverpool
4. Atalanta
5. Ajax
6. RB. Leipzig

Invest in the young and futuristic!!!

seborrhic:
Don't mind the overrated coach.
Yes,he is good no doubt,but is the way they overrated his abilities and achievements that irritates me.
Henykhe won the treble a season before Guardiola came.With the same team 3 times Bayern under Guardiola were mercilessly thrashed.
3 years into his Mcity reign,he has not been able to guide them even into the semi final Pellegrini achieved.
His present City team are still 70% being led by g
players he inherited from Pellegrini and even Manchini,so what is this extra ordinary thing he has done?Manchini and Pellegrini in even his first season won the premiership.
This was a coach that lost a champions league 2nd round and quarter finals to ordinary Sevilla and Tottenham teams respectively.
If he overcomes the Lyon hurdle which is not certain,I pray for him against Bayern.

Exactly!!!... Can he even achieve what Chris Wilder and Ralph Hassenhuttl have done with Sheffield United and Southampton respectively??!...

Lyon will give me so much joy by beating them tbh... Enough of these overrated coaches and players!!!

emeijeh:
Never!!!!!!!

Anyway, for those who missed the match due to their busy schedule, here is the highlight.

NeoWanZaeed:
laughing.. go back school.. you no gree.

you have never Heard of contextual meaning abi

Quit trying too hard to sound smart... It isn't working!!! Contextual indeed!!! What context exactly??!

We are talking clear facts here!!! Neither Messi nor Ronaldo can or should take full credit for the success of their teams!

When each of their teams succeed massively, y'all give them all the credit, using unintelligent terms like 'Singlehandedly'!!! When things go South, you shift blames to both the other players and even coach!!!

Celebrate individual brilliance of players, but never use or misuse terms like that!!! And don't try to make sense of your goof!!! It won't take!!!

I sense you are not even teachable!!! Please, I am done here!!! Enjoy your day!!!

NeoWanZaeed:
how come you don't understand single handedly? even though I spelt it out.. Oh! you probably amongst those that doesn't want to return to school.. laughing.

well, it means contributions.. Goals and assists.. take half of Ronaldo's contributions and tell me what Madrid or juve would achieve..

do you understand what I meant by even if your team lost or losing.. as a top class player... you must stand out.

go watch Ronaldo's contributions to his team ( lost) juve. champions League, league matches and others.

Now.. go in peace and sin no more

Just accept correction!

Ronaldo stepped up as well as those around him!!! He did nothing singlehandedly!!!

You can do the same in some other teams, and nothing much will come out of it when your team mates fail to reciprocate or take a cue... This is why Juventus has failed to win the UCL twice in a row with all his "single-handed" displays!!!

In the event you still don't get the grammatical drift, let me leave this with you:

single-handedly
When you do something single-handedly, you do it on your own, with no help from anyone else. (English Dictionary)

Now, say thank you!!!

Amah70:
Owelle was building roads in Owerri for six years.

He is now denied.

You recommend Hope to continue like Owelle.

Some of you don’t see Imo state beyond the state capital?

Because leaders emerging from Imo state since 2007 felt they had no business with Orlu and Okigwe municipalities?

Rochas indulged in something called White Elephant projects!!!... That guy was just playing with the heads of his people!!!

NeoWanZaeed:
Ronaldo single handedly dragged Madrid and juve in all competitions.

what's or who's called a �.

even if your team lost or is losing.. your impact must show.


that's why Ronaldo is better than messi. that's why media hates Ronaldo. that's why Blatter hates Ronaldo. they all know he's the best but they all hate is gut

Singlehandedly did what exactly??! Were the other 10 players having a water break or chatting with their keeper??!...

Did he tackle, cross, assist, defend, break up play, and score all by himself??! Note, that the latter is never achieved without the former... Why must you always place Cristiano on such undeserved and over hyped pedestal??! It's childish, lame, and unintelligent!!! Lol.

I ask again... Where is Juve's UCL in 2 whole seasons??!

Gbest90:
@ ghettokid1 Cheer up niggar. na so e dey be sometimes.

But now I know why ur confidence on ur team was very low. This current Barcelona team is WACK.

Swears... This Barca team makes Man United Reserves look well above average... Honestly, the latter won't concede those ridiculous number of goals. Haba!!!
