Truth be told though, Barcelona is the team everyone wants to avoid!!!

together with City

I admire the humility of Messi. Ronaldo will never praise Messi. He thinks he is the greatest.

Narcissists don't praise others, except they can somehow make it about themselves.

Daevid:
You're talking solely about goals here, I'm talking about contribution to goals, and imapct he has on matches. He has dealt with athletico severally, Chelsea would recount his greatness in the last ucl fixture, he hasn't really done much against juve, Buh quote and unquote it's only in few matches Messi has been outplayed and none of those matches were played against these teams listed by you. Check Google for the record

Juve was in Barca's group last season and Barca beat them 3 - 0 at the Camp Nou (Messi scored a brace). The reverse fixture at the Allianz ended goalless.

Joyless:


trust me
it'll be easier playing against Liverpool than against a Man City or Juventus

I'd rather play against Juve than face Liverpool or Man City right now. Especially City.

Juve is a cross and nod team like Madrid. Liverpool can really hurt you on the counter, which is one of our weakest spots right now. I don't even want to face City at all.

mcdreeezy:


I don't know if it's Valverde that tells them to play conservative after scoring two goals or winning with a two-goal margin. If this is how it's going to be, then we should forget about the UCL.

For a whole 15mins, Lyon were dominating proceedings. If it were to be a superior team, they'd have scored two or three.

Now we're in the quarterfinals. The same quarterfinals we've failed to qualify from for the past 3yrs. TBH I'm still not convinced about anything until we break that quarterfinal jinx and get to the semifinals.

doubting Thomases. Name the superior teams that have scored Barcelona 3 goals in 15 mins in the Nou Camp.

cr7lomo:



It's certain that u lack comprehension skills... U mentioned teams that were contenders and eventual winners... He is talking about small team that should not even b contending..... He talked about finishing teams that don't hv pedigree, just like man city did last night... How can u b leading 2.0 at home and give little Lyon a chance to come bk

lol. Man City could not beat this same 'litte' Lyon (without pedigree) in the two games they met this season.

Madrid got knocked out by Ajax (a supposedly small team).

Juve lost to Young boys (maybe a big team in your books).

Please take your stupidity far away. It's boring.

anonymous1759:




I see what happened against Roma happening again that's the fact Barca have lost it simple... Lyon at the moment are struggling. Even the Madrid we defeated aren't in their best. Ajax dismantled them with ease compared to Barca with a better squad. Until we defeat teams like mancity, liv or juve i still see us as a weaker side. Not because we're short of players but our tactics is very poor. I so much miss pep. Typical Barca don't give you any chance. Teams come for damage control then but now every team thinks they stand a chance against Barca.

Stash your shortsighted pessimism where the sun don't shine. It's irrelevant.

Typical Barca wouldn't give you any chance, yet we got knocked out by Inter in the UCL in 2010 and by Chelsea in 2012, lost the Copa del Rey in 2011 and La Liga in 2012. All those when Pep was in charge. Enrique's team didn't play like Pep's team yet they also won the treble. Even when Madrid was winning their 3 consecutive UCL titles, we still bossed them most of the times we met.

Please take several seats behind. You are just a once-in-a-while Barca fan. You don't talk like you actually watch our games.

There's no team left in the tournament that Barca cannot beat. We are also winning the treble this year, regardless of what pseudo-fans like you think.

Joyless:





although there were moments when Messi made poor choices, bt there's Dix confidence dat he'll eventually turn up,
bt coutinho on d other hand



he needs a touch from prophet Elijah

did you watch the match?

Joyless:


baba coutinho played trash

suarez performance was lit

Coutinho actually played well today, even before he scored. One of his best games I've seen in recent times. Linked up really nice with other players.

Suarez showed flashes of the Suarez we used to know, great trickery. Was still wasteful in front of goal though.

homesteady:


Everyone ought to have been slightly afraid during the period after they scored, especially after what has been happening during other UCL games.

it was a tense period, but writing off their chances of winning the UCL because of that? Even after going ahead to add 3 more goals? C'mon man.

Man Utd manages to edge out PSG and some of their fans believe they would win the title.

Barcelona had a dominant game against a team that Man City drew and lost to two matches. However, Barcelona fans think they would definitely get knocked out even after winning 5 - 1, because there were a few tense moments in the game.

You guys think we had a smooth sailing all the previous times we won the UCL?

anonymous1759:



Barca is not going anywhere with Valverde.. Just imagine barca defending against lyon after two goals and waiting for counter attack. A better team would have equalized the two goals.
Mancity played Barca football yesterday keep on scoring until your opponent get demoralized. That's the typical Barca. Valverde is killing us. No UCL for Barca. Unless we're extremely lucky

Mr man, you aren't even a true Barcelona fan.

This same Lyon beat Man City at the Etihad. In fact, City could not win them in two games. Let that sink in slowly.

You think your opponent came to the pitch to pick beans?

tesppidd:
Fuuuck all these players.

They almost made me catch a heart attack.

At 2-0 they started playing casually.

If we play like this game in the QF, we're getting dumped out.

We aren't getting dumped out. Have a little faith. You expect to dominate the opponent every second of the game, did they come to the pitch to spectate?

To think some people were doubting even before the game. That's how you'd keep doubting and writing off the team until we lift the UCL and then you'd go about saying "I'm a Barca fan!"

PECON1:
God pls save us this night. the truth is barca can't win this year UCL

you know nothing about the future, man. Barca is winning this UCL.

We are not getting knocked out. We'd beat Lyon and go on to win the UCL.

The rejection should push him to fight for that

fight for what? No girl needs to be fought over. If she's uninterested in you, she's not worth the fight. If she's interested, you wouldn't need to fight.

Please don't advice any guy to fight for any girl. It's a worthless venture.

coolie1:
who said that here, what the hell is wrong with you, when dembele and rakitic plays well and provides for messi to score when he does do you hear anything about rakitic or dembele, no that's how football is goal is the most important thing in a match.

don't be silly, this person said that and you jumped on my reply to him asking if Ronaldo is not world class. That means you agree with him, and you are of the opinion that his being world class justifies calling his teammates useless when he doesn't even create the chances he scores.

Kindly ignore conversations whose context you don't know/understand, instead of jumping in and arguing blindly.

Google1111:
I'm not doing any comparing, but CR7 is an international GOAT. PHD in the UCL degree, if you want an European trophy, he is the man for you. No matter how useless the rest of the players are, CR7 will drag the mothafuckaz to a trophy.

Ingrate Real madrid fans won't be happy to tonight, likewise Messi fans.

coolie1:
so you are telling me that Ronaldo is not a world class player?

if you guys need to call his teammates useless for him to be world class, then maybe he's not. It's not like he created any of the chances he scored from. His teammates did. So how are they useless?

coolie1:
did you see any Ronaldo fan call messi here until you guys came, bro you are just one terrible hater, hope you slept well this night

the person I quoted mentioned Messi. Stop practicing being blind.

Jealousy go kee you .
If you are a real man and can control your emotions, I would have advised you to play reverse psychology on her. Stop calling and giving her much attention. Once you notice she is giving more attention to your friend, bring in a more classy girl to the room when all of you are around and start giving her attention. It will get to her

if he had a more classy girl to bring over, he would not be dying over this one. Just saying.

Lol. Juve beats Atletico and trolls are celebrating in the Barcelona thread. What's the relationship? One good game out of 7 played this season, and they can't resist comparing with the benchmark of football greatness (Messi). Other teams can beat whoever they want, Barcelona is winning this 2019 UCL.

It wouldn't be a walk in the park but we'd win it, one game at a time.

babakb:


Stop lying to yourselves, Cr7 is the greatest Madrid Player of all time, Top goal scorer of all time, Top assists of all time, Top Hat-tricks of all time, haba which Facts do you need again.......

who is arguing these with you? Not me.

Just correcting the silly opinion that Madrid was not a great team before Ronaldo. Take away the last 10 years, and Madrid would still be more successful than your favorite club!

safarigirl:
first off, I'm not a 'bros' I'm a 'sis'

Secondly, I just came across this thread this night, and by extension, your post.

Tonight's match does not negate the fact that Real Madrid was not a great team before Ronald and has not been a great team after him, so saying he is jumping between great teams is untrue.

please stop saying this nonsense. Madrid was already the most successful club in Europe before Ronaldo dreamt of playing for Man Utd much less joined Madrid. They also dominated La liga a lot before Barcelona's resurgence.

And even when Ronaldo joined (2009/2010 season), it was not until Mourinho took over as coach in 2010/2011 that they broke their Lyon jinx and reached the UCL semis where they got knocked out by Barca.

Still they had to wait another 3 years to win their 10th UCL title in 2014. In 2015/2016, they were totally going downhill again until Zidane took over mid season.

Even with the UCL success, they still trailed Barca in every other competition in which they met. In fact, Madrid won Laliga just twice in the 9 years Ronaldo was there, the same number of times they won in the three years before Ronaldo joined.

So yeah, Ronaldo is a fantastic player, but it's nonsense to say the world's richest team with the most trophies in Spain and Europe was a small team before Ronaldo joined. If you don't watch football, don't talk about it.

right. Ronaldo's Juve team was so useless in this match that Ronaldo himself crossed the two lovely balls that he headed in, twice. He also won the penalty for Juve, and then went ahead to score it. Let's not also forget how he singlehandedly neutralized Atletico opportunities so that they did not trouble Ronaldo who was also the goal keeper.

Funny how he keeps being compared with Messi every time he has a remarkable game.

gurunlocker:


No, Zidane knows Ronaldo was leaving. In fact, his team mates knows (Marcelo and Ramos). There's an article about that online in popular sport news websites. Juve deal has been in place but not announced. Remember his word after the UCL final?


Zidane leaving before him doesn't mean anything.

he had also said he was leaving multiple seasons before last season, just to get Madrid to renegotiate a better contract with him.

He only became serious about it because Madrid called his bluff this time, and because Zidane left.

philfearon:

Na Valverde give am o... Why did he play him?
Apparently Rayo is more important than Lyon!

How was Valverde to know that he'd get injured again? Also, how do you know he'd not have gotten injured in the first 10 mins against Lyon after being reserved against Rayo?

Yoighaman:
He needs to buy players.... unfortunately, CR7 can't return, Ronaldo is his guy, he left because he knew Ronaldo was leaving too, if Real Madrid can swallow the humble pie, they should pay Juve whatever amount for Ronaldo even if it's a palliative and the club would be back again....but even at that they need fresh bloods....Ajax is there to poach players, Mbappe is a great buy...RM should put on their thinking cap.

it's the other way round. Zidane left before Juve even made a deal with Ronaldo. Zidane left in May while Ronaldo made his shock move in July.

If I hear say Atletico let Juve come back
