Barcelona 2 (agg 2-3) 2 Chelsea

You showed 2 scorelines. Which of them did u play Barca with 10 men?

Emaprince:
are you blind?

Do you think this is the best barca team ever?

The best barcelona team reigned in 2009-2013. The team that had xavi, iniesta, bosquet and pedro all in their prime. Can you compare rakitic to xavi of last 3 seasons? Btw, chelsea defeated the best barca team with 10men.

Truth here is that pep can NEVER perform when he's facing a team that has a slight advantage. He can't defend.

I didn't expect bayern to be trashed, honestly because, the likes of goetze, muller and lewi are top players who are supposed to cause problem in barca's defence. Plus bayern's midfield is supposed to match barca's

Once again, its clear that pep can not perform without his star men- messi at barca, robben at bayern.

Show us where Chelsea BEAT barcelona with 10 men or keep quiet.

nateevs:
If you think this Barca team will beat Chelsea "EASILY" then you have not been paying attention to Chelsea.

My man, stop overrating this Chelsea side which couldn't overcome 10-man PSG. Ring me when Chelsea starts mingling with the big boys in the critical stages of UCL.

Ibime:

No Mourinho team would have lost 3-0 to Barca. JM is not an idealist like Pep.

The only time JM lost woefully to Barca was when at Real Madrid, they told him that defending is not the Real way and he must attack Barca.

He would keep it tight. More likely he comes away from Barca with a draw or single goal defeat.

Even with 10 men, against the greatest Barca team of all time, he conquered them with Inter in 2010.

I make bold to say no Chelsea team has ever lost by 2 goals to Barca, whether you are talking of JM in 2005 and 2006, Hiddink in 2009 or Di Matteo in 2012. . . . .yet, Pep keeps getting disgraced by expressive scorelines

Last time Barca won the UCL in 2011, they defeated Mourinho's Madrid 5-0 in the league. Mourinho's Chelsea could not defeat PSG with a man down, yet, this same PSG conceded 5 goals against Barca.
The current Barca team will beat Chelsea easily whether you park the bus or not. Barca of 2012, where they relied on only Messi is not as good as this Barca side where they have MSN.

raumdeuter:
BTW

Has the entire Chelsea team booked a comfortable beer parlor to watch superior teams in the CL semi finals.

I want to suggest somewhere in Ketu. Chilled beer with point and kill. AC blasting. Standby gen.

My man, which side in Ketu? Ikosi area or Demurin area? I can't bear to watch my match against Bayern alone @ home after office work. It's gonna be boring. Where is that confirm spot @ Ketu?

Bundesligabest:
Yes, winning the EPL title is better than winning the Bundesliga (with Bayern).

If we were discussing Klopp, that would be an achievement (winning the Bundesliga with Dortmund).

What's honourable about winning Bundesliga with a club that have won 50% of the league titles since they started. Even a kitman can win the league.

Pep Guardiola quote from last week's interview: "Winning the Bundesliga with Bayern is not an acheivement. I must win Champions League".

Are you saying that if winning the bundlesliga and losing the semifinals of UCL is WORSE than winning the EPL and losing in the 1st knockout stage of UCL?

Are Chelsea fans telling us that winning the epl title is better than winning the bundlesliga title plus being in UCL semi final?

It's a mystery to me how he has not managed to win or even reach the UCL final with Madrid which had the most expensive squad till date, and before Madrid, Chelsea were the most expensive squad in the world, and he also failed to conquer Europe with them, only to see his successors lead the clubs to the final.

His only victories came at Inter and Porto, who despite being impressive, had not much money (compared to Chelsea and Madrid) but strong core that was there before he arrived.

Bimffo:
Don't even bring DSTV.. DSTV that does not show Copa dey rel till it reaches Semi-Final..

6 Clubs were without Shirt sponsors within 2011-2013 and they are

Rayo Valladolid, Real Sociedad, Sevilla, Real Betis, Granada and Real Valladolid.

Lol.. 2010/2011, Liverpool dint make the top 4, but Chelsea did

2011/2012 Chelsea and Liverpool dint make top 4, but Spurs did and Newcastle were above Chelsea in the league table..

2012/2013, Spurs, Liverpool dint make top 4, Chelsea did.

2013/2014.. Liverpool made Top 4, ManUnited(Defending Champions) did not..

2014/2015 Chelsea are Champions once again.. Liverpool and United trying to battle it out for top 4..

In England, we have Top 6, we don't have Top 2..

Which top 6? Only 3 different clubs have won the EPL title in the last 10 years. Man utd, man city and Chelsea. Of these 3 clubs, man utd is the only one to win without the support of a sugar daddy or oil money.

The remaining 3 clubs in ur so called top 6 are what Mourinho termed " specialists in failure". They play to qualify for UCL not to win the league.


In Spain, we also have the top 6 who have made their impact in European football in recent years. 3 clubs have also won the league in the last 10 years without any support from any sugar Daddy or oil money.

Valencia, Sevilla and Bilbao have impacted better in Europe than Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City

In the last 10 years, Sevilla has won more European titles than Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City combined.

Krasid:
Some people saying I take life too serious yet are the ones that cannot quote somebody without their posts being devoid of insults.They are also the ones asking for me to be banned.What an Irony! I have not violated any Nairaland rule, so that is not happening.

Nobody can ban u here. We are rivals from different clubs in same country. You troll us, we troll you and usbcable. That's what make football fun.

I have told u guys that I prefer Krasid to any epl fan who troll barca

Krasid:
Are you intentionally beefing ronaldo just to make yourself feel good or just being a plain hater? Did Cr7 not win a ballon d'or when he was at united too.I am still waiting for you to tell me the season Messi scored 50+ before Ronaldo arrived in Spain.

Understand my previous comment Ogbeni . I said Messi scored 50 goals before Ronaldo joined him (in scoring 50goals).

OK tell us. Who first scored 50+ goals between Messi and Ronaldo?

dearpreye:
There's a limit to partisanship. No genuine barca fan denies the greatness of Cristiano. His arrival has made Messi a better player.

Lies! Lies! Lies!

Messi has started winning Ballon d'or before Ronaldo came to Spain.

Let that sink in

dmcdad:
MSN!!! The best triumvirate ever! Not just for the goals, but also for the love and connection between them. Na this kind thing the people of Antioch see wey them take call the Apostles Christians.

Are there still doubters?

Neymar 33goals
Suarez 23 goals (2 months ban)


How many goals have Benzema and Bale scored?

Krasid:
Whether you admit it or not, they are rivals.I don't think he would have attained this heights if there was no Ronaldo.

Messi had started scoring 50 goals before Ronaldo joined. It's Ronaldo who is doing catch up. As @ last week Wednesday, he was ahead of Messi, but we all saw the immature frustration when Arbeola scored that goal.

They are not rivals. Messi is ahead.

Tval:
Which kind league be dis

You won start again shey?
Southampton 8-0 Sunderland

It baffles me how Chelsea fans would come here to say Ivanovic is better than Zabaleta because he has more goals and assists.
However, when you bring the same goals and assists issue to the case of Neymar and Hazard, they will tell you that stats don't matter. It's all about dribbles.

Hypocrites!

timbros:
Even Zidane is part of the british media?

Wow!

Did Zidane equate him with Messi and Ronaldo?

Next thing you'll hear soon is Harry Kane is the best striker in the world.

raumdeuter:
The only people allowed to ask questions are teams still in the CL. We cant be answering every dog and goat

Wicked guy.

chrisley024:
If for Messi then I'm cool

Ole


None of them can make my 1st 11.

I guess you guys can now see why I prefer Krasid's beef to any Chelsea fan's beef.

If Neymar is a striker for Barcelona, then Suarez is a goal keeper

If Neymar is a striker for Brazil, then Fred is a referee.


Neymar 32 goals this season.
Harzard 18 goals this season

Both are left wingers

Just like Dayo said, "Chelsea fans can't analyse intellectually.

Bimffo:
Where do you really think from..??

Barcelona and Bayern have won the UCL at the Wembley stadium, London. What that has got to do with Chelsea.. Is it Stamford bridge.?

Oh I get, We won the UCL at Munich (Bayern's home).. We should be called Pride of Munich then..

The fact is Barcelona has won more UCL trophy in London than any other club. We should be called "pride of London".

diggz:
sharraaaaaaaaap dere u mukwa..! wat has dat one got to do wit anyfin,abi gas don full ur brains? We can call ourselves the pride of london bcuz we hv achieved wat orda teams in london are yet to achieve. We no call ourselves the pride of madrid or barcelona so how da fc/////uk e tk concern u? Worse case scenario u can call us local champions but for u to even qxn the tag "pride of london' shows u must be typing dis stuffs from ur arrrseeeeeeeeee.

Gerrrrrrout from yeah

E pain am ooh.

fflamingo:
The person that gave them the tag "Pride of London" should be shot in the leg.


What is The pride in wining 5 giggle in one century

Bro I tire. Barcelona and Bayern have won the ucl @ the Wembley stadium, London. A feat Chelsea have never accomplished. Yet, they call themselves "pride of London". What the hell...

As for me ooh, I prefer Madrid fans to EPL fans. Whether we like it or not, Ronaldo really tried. 50 goals each year for 6 years is remarkable. He's d only player trying to reach Messi's level, but he can't and he won't.

EPL fans especially Chelsea fans will now try to equate Hazard with Messi. Well, naa shekpe club sha...

timbros:
Why are the pundits always linking Hazard's name with Ronaldo and Messi recently and not those guys you mentioned above?

Because it's d British media. All they do is hype their own. They once said Wilshere was better than Xavi and Iniesta.

diggz:
Let us play ur game "the intelligent okpata one', how would you rank ur guys in bayansh thread?

Incase you cant remember their names lemme help you with dem;

1) Ramdauda
2)A40
3)Toba
4)debroslink.

Pls answer on a postcard

Maintain ur lane ooh. If you dare attack the world's best league (la liga), you'll hear from me.
