Adiwana:
Correct me if am wrong but wasn't that the time Villanova was recently diagnosed with Cancer and had our inexperienced assistant take over?? I didn't even expect us to win that tie plus the fact Messi was injured. We went into that match on the downside and the only regret was just about how much we conceded over the two legs. We lost even before the tie started

Can't place when exactly he was diagnosed with cancer but, he was our manager for that season.

I'll reply to this after the game.

Which I hope we win.

Mcleo007:
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

A faulty analysis. Success on the pitch isn't based on individual quality but ability to play as a unit to perfection.

Barca has a chance tho, following news of bayern little defensive problems.

Taguchi:
I know Bayern were Good that year,but I don't think we were CLEAR underdogs..Na after the first leg e clear for our eyes say we no be mates... similar to us against PSG we were trashed in the first leg but we weren't underdogs going into the tie

You forget too quick, my man. That period, Messi wasn't fit. Barca was out of steam because they had no idea of what to do on the pitch. I remember vividly how analyst completely wrote off barca and they were right. Everyone knew bayern would qualify.
Besides, the Robbery squad(Ribery and Robben) were the best wingers. Oh Lord, we suffered.

Do you know that, barca struggled on the previous round against PSG that season. Messi had to come on with an injured leg to help us get a goal(he created the chance).

jpmoriarti:
Nawa for this your defeatist mindset. You are talking as though Bayern has the best defence in this world. If they charge us, we charge them back. Why should we run away and hide because of Bayern Maybe you should go and be supporting Westham united or something. This your mindset does not belong to an elite level that Barca is.

I don't know why I'm replying but 2 things are the likeliest reasons for your ignorance :1.You don't watch bayern, neither did you even check their stats. 2. Your sentiments makes it difficult to see things from an objective perspective.

You just questioned bayern defence. Please, compare how many goals they've conceded and scored this season, especially champions league. When you do, compare with our team. And you'll understand.

"If they charge us, we charge them back. Why should we run away and hide because of Bayern"... I laughed when I saw this. Like wtf!
Bundesliga has teams that play attacking football(even better that barca this season) , but all were crushed. Why? This bayern team have a nearly close to perfect transition from defense to attack and vice versa.
All barca will do is hold the ball as long as they can and create chances and keep it tight at the back. We can win. Why? We have the resources.. But it will be difficult.

jpmoriarti:
Yes ooo They have more than enough motivation heading into this match. No excuses.

And bayern don't??
Bayern know that they're better. The best thing barca can do is to lock down. But who's gonna help us counter. How many fast players do we have?

Everything is going against us. All Setien has up his sleeve is to hold the ball as long as possible and hope something happens. If you watch barca training recently, you'll understand what I mean.

But if Bayern decide to attack(which they would) , do you trust that defence to hold and not crack for 90 mins.

Taguchi:
When was the Last time Barca played a UCL game as clear underdogs

Don't think I can remember

Anyone?

It was 2013. Against this same Bayern Munich.

That bayern team was a menace. Those guys could attack for 180 minutes without stopping or relaxing.

I didn't anyone to tell me we'll be thrashed. That attacked us like we're QPR. They came to camp nou and even disgraced us by playing tiki taka to mock us at one point

IKON360:
And transfer window is opened and that clown of a board chairman and his team of clowns that are in charge of transfers are doing nothing to bring a new striker

It's like you don't understand the current situation at barca.
We're out of funds and looking to offload players. Do you know that we have 35 players for next season. 35!
We've signed, Trincao, Pedri, Matheus.
Coutinho is coming back. Rafinha, Alena are back.

We can't sign any striker except we sell or loan players. Right now, the club is looking to promote the young boys from 2nd team.

CuteMercury:
Atletico will defend against warri wolves. very negative approach to football.

It's their style.
Not all teams or managers are comfortable with attacking or attractive football. Some just want solid and effective football.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't..

Greece at 2004 euros, Porto under mourinho, Chelsea in 2012 champions league.

FergieRaww:
Bayern players and coach were spotted wearing black T-shirts while travelling to Lisbon. The black color symbolizes mourn & it looks like Bayern are confident they will thrash Barcelona that they'll make them mourn about it. The provocations have been noted [Mundo Deportivo]

Ion know how true this is but, if you've been following the news you'll know this match has gone beyond just 2 teams playing.
Imagine rummeniege (Bayern CEO) saying Neuer is world class while Ter stegen is still on his way to becoming world class. Directors in Bayern hyping lewandoski.
Ion know if it's mind games, but, the way they are berating barca is disrespect.
We must win that match. Our only enemies are Setien and lack of motivation

jonsnow92:
Oh Please.
I'll start Puig over him any day, he offers nothing other than work rate and ability to mark, Puig can be a team player too, offers a lot attacking wise, creative and can be a menace too -Step forward Thomas Partey- I'll pick Puig over Viking anyday.
Vidal was there and we still chop 4 for Anfield.

It's obvious you don't know Vidal. Vidal is freaking important for that game tomorrow. Barca needs energy because that bayern team are riding high on confidence and are ready to dismantle us. You think they've forgotten 2015?
I'll feel even better if Puig and Vidal start. That will ensure we have a balances transition in attack and defence.

Hmmm

biomustry:
Bros no think am, this coach no go ever start dembz or fati for grizzy. The only change will be busquets and or vidal

As in ehn.
But Dembele should start as a sub. He's very effective had a sub.
Although Griezmann brings solidity and high work rate.
This bayern match ehn, barca can beat that bayern team. The coach just needs to be brave. But no! He will rather field old men to play bayern. He will now wait until 80+ mins to sub. That man no wise. Valverde beta pass am.

@manos
Apologizing doesn't mean you're weak. It's simply shows you're strong enough to let go of your pride and admit you're wrong. I wish I had that.

Also, I would advise op to calmly and in a very serious setting talk to her. Pour your heart out to tell her how her lack of hygienic habits is affecting. Tell her how you feel better mature and sincere.
The reason she is stubborn is probably because you're correcting her the wrong way. We humans have elements of pride in us that make us throw away any given correction and focus on the way the correction was given. She's an adult. Talk like one, and talk to her like she's one.
You could start with an indirect story that would put her in your shoes. Help her see how it feels if she's is a victim of unhygienic displays or habits(i.e on the receiving end) .

Tell her you'll always love no matter what and will support her if she chooses to change.
She might not change immediately. But, correct her playfully(when she subconsciously repeats it).

Lastly, Never heed those who call you simp or advising you to be harsh. Most are just young, inexperienced, still-living-with-parent jokers who have no iota of what being in marriage seems like.

Enjoy a happy marriage

NockMedia:
Smh. Everything is for the GRAM. So you can not gift someone a house and not post photos on social media? What is this world turning into?

The man won't be receiving this house in the first place, if it wasn't on social media.

Quit faking modesty. You would do the same.

Interesting

FirstbornWds:
Have you noticed that De Jong hardly performs excellently with Busi on the pitch?

I support a 4-man midfield though but there is every likeliness that Setien will rather play Roberto to Puig.

He might even play Rakitic sef. That man knows nothing.
Barca need a good manager ASAP

patrickmuf:
A midfield of Busi, De Jong and Puig will be fantastic if Setien intends to dominate possession but for some grit I'll add Vidal that's if he opts for a 4 - 4-2 with Suarez and Messi up front.

In a 4-3-3, I'll maintain the same defence, bench Puig for Vidal (I am tempted to bench Busi and let De Jong play DM supported by Vidal and Puig). Up front, Fati on the left, Suarez through the middle and Messi on the RWF position just so Alphonso Davies is pegged back...

In any formation, Fati and Messi must start to keep Kimmich and Davies alert and stop their bombarding runs forward.

Busi must be careful on the ball because Muller will be all over him. If he must play, then it should be in a double pivot with De Jong whilst Vidal play as the B2B midfielder...

A 4-man midfield is the best. Barca need every bit of solidity as they can, plus attacking intent. Playing Fati means surrendering a little bit of steel in the team for attacking chances, which we would rarely get.

Busquets (cover for the back 4 and delivery of defence splitting passes)
De Jong (have a strong grip of the midfield, spray passes forward and assist Busquets)
Vidal(Energy, cause bayern defence and midfield problems with his bursts)
Riqui Puig (Start and join attack)

See this midfield combination is a mix of experience, youth, power and attack, Solidity, and defence.

Messi would obviously make the job even easier.

But that foolish Setien will likely play Roberto. And a stupid selection.

haymekus:
Truth is that we need to get rid of forwards like Suarez, greizmann, coutinho and braithwaite, then use the money to get a top striker and young striker, build our game play around wingers like fati, dembele and trincao who are fast

Barca doesn't anything again. Except a good manager with so much energy that permeates the entire team. Someone bold enough to throw in hungry players.
Check out klopp, guardiola. That vibe!
Look at valverde and setien. Very dull. Confused men. Setien can't even make right subs, at the right time. He will rather play the old guys in the team and leave the young boys on the bench to rot.

Barca will have a crazy squad depth next season. 35 players for next season. We need a good manager

Hmm.

Lol.

Op, I completely understand all what you've said o, and 90% are kinda accurate (not sure about the pet thing tho) but then, all these account for just 10% of what attracts a girl.
The other 90%=MONEY.

The funny thing is that money will get you every single thing on the list

Thrash!

AgainstIslam:
I really wish I can like this comment 1000 times.

Apt.

There's nothing in it. Completely inaccurate. Why? Messi also,like ronaldo ,gets the job done and does more than that.

But ,of course,ronaldo fans to tend to agree with comments favoring their man , even if na thrash.

where are Seun and Lalasticlala when you need them.

Hmm.
I laugh at people saying the lady should delete porn on her phone, bla bla bla

See ehn, that lady is a sex addict. Which means she can't do without it. It's like a drug. Sometimes, people who are like this are people who were exposed to sex regularly at an early age. If I was the op, I'll just Japa. Except you can satisfy her(which is hard or sometimes impossible). Or just leave her to continue.

One of my guy met a girl. This girl is a sex freak. My guy was a champion(I mean a freaking champ that girls always came back for) . Okay na. She called him over.
Match result? He resigned. From muscle pool, to waist pain and so on. He himself confessed never to have encountered anyone like her. Funny thing is, the girl was introduced to him by his friend who was just looking for a way to escape from the girl too.

Bottom line : You can't deal with anything crazy, freaky or maniac. Run or you'll die young.

hmmm.
This is one of education and comedy.
Shalla to missyajoke. Interesting topics such as this can make me start crushing on you

As for righteousness89, I might not be a believer. But existence of people like you makes me question what kind of creator would plant an annoying,daft and idiotic individual in the midst of his creations. Guy change.

BTW, this VirginFinder guy always cracks me up with his corrections of this Righteousness guy. Talk about your nemesis following you bumper to bumper

adedayo3193:
Is dembele really going to return?

Yup! He has been training with the team recently since he returned. Although, he hasn't had much training time with the team. The manager obviously didn't want to risk him because he wasn't ready for that Napoli game. But he has a week to get back to full shape.

I'm betting he'll be used as a sub for Bayern game. Fati, Messi and Suarez, should start. Then Dembélé and griezmann can be used as sub

JimmyfixDesigns:
That's true. Life is sacred to God. So our motive is protecting lives. It will still be a while before we open and start preaching from house to house like you know us to do.

Meanwhile, we talk to our friends online. We still help them find answers to big questions from the Bible.

You log on to www.JW.org to know more about us

LOL. You always find a way to preach.

Definitely the best version of Christianity
