IKON360:

nope, I won't watch the highlights, I'll download the full match so I examine nitty gritties like Roberto's job in the midfield by 2nd half and how our defense did against Liverpool's pace

you know you can stream these matches live, right? You actually don't need to leave your house to watch games.

SexynSerious:
Bia, are you on druggzz

How is that the same Bayern? First of all, that was 6 years ago (eons of years ago in football). Secondly, that was the Jupp Hyneckes Bayern Munich, the team beaten by Looserpool doesn't even have the same coach.

Na wao for some people

don't mind him, desperately clutching straw. He forgot that Barca knocked out the same Bayern seasons later on their way to win the 2015 UCL.

cr7lomo:
That was how they celebrated 4.1 last season at camp nou only to loose the return leg 3.0...Barca has been terrible for the past 3seasons in away games... They cudnt score ordinary Lyon in france...messi only performs at the camp nou...how many away goals has he scored in the CL??

deep down you know Barca would win this UCL. You can feel it in your bones, and you hate the feeling. So you are desperately hoping they lose. Man Utd, Madrid and Juve have been kicked out so you are reduced to supporting Liverpool.

In the final you'd go on to support Ajax and then have to endure posts and pics of Messi lifting the trophy. Sad season to be you.

femmoy:
far as I can tell,CR7 has 2 things Messi can never get till he retires:
1) 3 times consecutive winnings of UCL and
2) lifting a national team euro 2016

until he does these 2 things,I can never regard him as a GOAT where Ronaldo is.

argue with ur keyboards.

just 2? Lol. Messi might just win the Copa America this year and this your post would then look stupid.

Ronaldo that cannot even outscore a 36 year old Fabio Quagliarella in Serie A. It took him 100+ games more than Messi to score 600 goals, despite the fact that Messi is both playmaker and goalscorer while Ronaldo is just a goal scorer.

Anyway, I can count many things that Messi has done that Ronaldo would never get. Here are just a few examples.

1) Scoring up to 91 goals in a calendar year.
2) Winning the treble twice (would be a treble of trebles at the end of this season).
3) Winning the golden ball in a world cup.
4) Playing in the final of a world cup.
5) Winning best player award more than once in 9 seasons of La Liga (Messi won 7/9, Ronaldo 1/9).

Face it, they aren't on the same level. It's has been media scam all along.

Foodforthought:
Remove sentiments. Liverpool are good. A team that beat Bayern 1:3 at Allianz arena can't be overhyped. I'm a Man u fan.
It's clear the OP is a Barca fan. It's only Ronaldo that scores tap-ins, Messi doesn't. The one he scored yesterday is a world class rebound, not a tap in, abi?
Apart from that free kick there was nothing exceptional about Yesterday's game. If Salah and Mane buried their chances, you won't be here typing trash.
Ajax to win UCL. Save this comment.

that's what I told someone, you people would keep supporting Barca's opponents until Messi lifts this UCL trophy.

Face it, Liverpool was tactically defeated. Allowing Liverpool hold the ball was part of the plan. Their power lies in counter attacks. Let them have possession and they wouldn't know what to do with it.

You forgot that Dembele missed a sitter too. Even Vidal had a great chance to score.

nwakibie3:
OP is a Barca fan.

I'm waiting for Juve fan to counter this thread

what is a Juve? We dey talk about UCL semi final you dey mention Juve.

We are hypocrites in this country sha.

tesppidd:
Let's stop complaining about missed chances.

Mane missed!
Salah's miss was criminal.

They could very easily have made it 3 - 2.


For some moments in the game, Liverpool played us like they were playing a league game against Brighton.

It was an embarrassing sight to behold at our temple camp nou.

This 3 nil scoreline is more than I ever dreamed off, i had expected nothing more than a one goal margin.

Let's be thankful.

If we would blow a 3-0 result against a liverpool side which must field their complete first eleven away to Newcastle this weekend.

Then we do not deserve to win the champions league.

baba talk true, that miss no pain you?

What if Messi didn't try his best with the freekick because we already had a dream 2 nil lead? Also, one more goal could have helped us qualify against Roma last season.

Liverpool's inability to score wasn't just down to missing sitters. Our defence is perhaps the most underrated part of our game.

Ter Stegen was a solid rock with his saves, and that goal-line block by Rakitic prevented a certain away goal before Salah missed the rebound. Even that Salah's miss was more unfortunate than criminal.

All in all, great game. We still have to be more clinical going forward.

jpmoriarti:
Guy, he played for only 4 minutes. Cut him some slack. Enjoy the win. This is ucl semifinal. U take what you got and be thankful. Another day he can score those. Yesterday, he didnt. We are not going to kill ourselves because Dembouz didnt score a sitter.

of course... I totally enjoyed the win, and I'm still beaming with pride.

It's just, I so much want Dembele to succeed (he has world-class potential) and it hurts when he does stuff like this. Now I have to keep quiet when someone says Mbappe is miles ahead of Dembele.

It's all good sha. He'd make us proud next time.

jpmoriarti:
Dembouz only played for 4 minutes and have two shots on goal. Of course he could have done better but I don't think he's gotten to the rhythm of the game. He's favourite to start second leg at Anfield.

oga I'm a big fan of Dembele. I criticize him because I know he's way better than he has displayed in the last 2 games.

Dembele has so much potential (probably next most gifted after Messi). It's sad that he's playing like this. The only reason he had two shots was because his teammates gave him the ball in promising positions. But what's the use if you are just going to waste it?

Also our tactic against Liverpool meant that they were more dangerous at the start of each half and very vulnerable toward the end. It's hard for opponents to keep up high press for too long at the Camp Nou. Dembele joined at that vulnerable period. He should have made it count.

There's no excuse for that miss bro. He has to make up for it in the return leg. In a UCL semifinal, there's a big difference between 4 - 0 and 3 - 0.

Awesome01:


Bros, everyone in our team does that. Probably that was the instructions given to them by the coach, that guys when you have the ball always make Messi your no.1 priority because he is our best scorer.

Many people, fans included has complained about the #passtoMessi tactics, but it continues to work for us, so let's use it till it stops working.

no, there are situations where it makes no sense to pass back. My problem isn't in passing back but passing back when it is easier to score.

Messi drags defenders with him to set you up clean on goal and you instead try to pass back to Messi with the defenders around him. I don't think it's the same thing as passing to Messi when other players are open.

Olamyyde:
Anybody that trashes vidal here again should be banned

lol. He should learn to shoot sometimes when he has a clear chance sha, instead to try to pass back to Messi that has been marked.

haymekus:
You guys should stop criticizing Dembele ffs, I felt he was distracted by the player in front of him (I don't know his name), but cut him some slack, players miss goals worse than this and nothing happens, besides he was not the worst player on the pitch

please stop it

Dembele wasn't distracted by Pique. He simply played rubbish. Messi worked hard to drag defenders out of the way and create that chance. Dembele just passed it to Alisson instead.

simonjassy:

what makes you think every critic,is a pained loser?.that is a very shallow way of thinking i must say.

when it is baseless criticism filled with hurt, it becomes obvious. But then thanks for the words... Pained loser.. I couldn't have thought up a more fitting description.

Barcelona soaked up Liverpool pressure for the first 15 mins of each half as they usually start with such high intensity, and then finished them off and you are here crying about possession that Liverpool didn't even have more of. You can't score 3 unreplied goals by luck.

My friend go and look for somewhere else to cry. Pained loser.

phaamsaam:

Leo was gassed out, never seen him so gassed, that's why he passed, it was the best option, dembele fluffed his shot sadly

I'd have preferred Messi wasted the ball instead. Even Pique would have tucked that ball home.

If Messi didn't pass to Dembele, the conspiracy theorists would come up with tales of how the whole Barca team hates Dembele.

simonjassy:

What baffles me here is that barca resorted to the said "negative" tactics they always said epl teams do.
actually i don't feel hurt that liverpool lost but rather i didn't get to watch an interesting game,what can i say,you are a fan,all you care about is winning and i on the otherhand am a neutral,hoping to see some nice free flowing soccer.

dude, you can't play negative football and have more possession and win 3 nil. Stop being ridiculous and find out what negative football and parking the bus mean.

I shouldn't be wasting time with you. Don't you have a pillow to cry into?

simonjassy:

when majority of the passes were in your own half.what weakness,instead of you to be glad your team was able to hit pool hard and fast on the counter thanks to leo messi,you are hear bragging,for a team that prides itself in pressing and dominating i really am dissappointed i didn't get to see a end to end stuff but rather 1 team defending and hitting hard on the counter.
kudos,to valverde though, he basically executed the athletico script effectively

blah blah blah... We don't pride ourselves in pressing, we pride ourselves in winning games, especially against deluded EPL sides.

This is a dynamic Barca team, we adapt to opponents tactics and kill them off in the most effective way possible.

If it hurts that much, take some pain killers and try to get some sleep.

You should be glad Dembele missed a last min sitter. Could easily have been 4 - 0.

simonjassy:
Barcelona did win the game,but much have to be said about their tactics,it was quite obvious that barcelona parked mourinho's famous bus today,leaving only the maestro messi and luiz suarez upfront for most of the match.
As for those saying ter stegen is way better than allison,all i can say is with 8 men in your 18 yard box,the ball will hardly get to the goaly.

do you even know what parking the bus means?

How can you park the bus and still have more possession? Barca tactics was spot on. Soak pressure in the opening mins of each half, grow into the game and then exploit their weakness.

Someone told me on this thread that Liverpool has no weakness

Damn! Sorry man. She isn't yours anymore, better make it official.

tesppidd:
We are forgetting to clap for Ter Stagen and Pique.

I think we were solid all round. Pique awesome as always this season. Ter Stegen... At least we shouldn't have anyone saying Alisson is better again. Roberto had a good game too... Valverde was on point tactically (let them have some of the ball and hit them where it hurts).

Na only Dembele fall my hand today.

Wordson:
well.. Lets how it goes tonight by 8pm...

how far?

tesppidd:
Where did he step?

this game. Showed predatory instincts to get our first goal. Pretty much came close to getting another (Messi scored the rebound).

Isomerizm:
Dembele's miss made me feel we lost.

I swear down! Messi should have just selfishly taken the shot.

Anyway, I'm glad Suarez stepped up tonight. Messi? Best ever to kick a football!

See why teammates sometimes ignore Dembele even if he's open?

VictorRomanov:


And you think she'll automatically remain loyal after marriage?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha... chai!

Ask the one that opened thread this morning to cry about her cheating on her "thoughtful and loving husband".

didn't you see a comment by this same person you quoted saying that women should carry their cheating secrets to their graves because men cannot handle it and the husband would ruin the marriage with his thinking?

They defend what they are.

Fourwinds:
this is coming from a female... It's alright

only because the cheat in this story is female, bro. Reverse the roles and see how all of them would start hating cheaters and wondering why 'all men' cheat.

mctfopt:
A lot of things to beware of in Nigeria.

Beware of kids with written note asking to be taken to an address for they may be kidnapper's accomplices.

Beware of MC's announcement during festivity to move cars as announcements may be sponsored by armed robbers waiting for you to come and repark your car so that they'd rob you of your car.

Beware of people dressed as NEPA officials or immunization agents coming your doorstep as they may be robbers/kidnappers or both.

Beware of coming out at night to check why your generator turned off or why your tap is open or it may be a bait by robbers to lure you out to rob you.

Beware of cars filled with only guys as it may be a "one chance" bus

Beware of persons with a comb in a keke or public transport as it may be a disguise for a knife.

Now, we are told to beware too of nurses in a maternity or hospital during birth as they may swap our child(ren)

Damn. Why are we like this

Question of the year! Please when you find the answer, kindly mention me. E don tey wey me sef dey wonder.

This is meant to discourage other girls? This girl never see anything.

A girl that wants to ride your man would do it with the boxers on him, and and cap the experience with her fluid all over your pics.

The only thing that can stop your partner from cheating is your partner's own resolve not to cheat.

Nigeria shouldn't be an independent nation. We aren't mature enough. I'm not even sure what the root of the Nigerian problem is. These pathetic criminals are carrying guns as policemen and overseeing our collective resources as politicians and government officials.

If this is true, I hope those nasty policemen meet their end in the most painful and undignified way possible. It's not justice but it's close enough.

What hope is there when the one you should be running to for protection is the same one seeking to destroy you?

nuelyoyo:
yea, that may have been the case, never looked at it from that angle. Thanks for bringing it to my notice. But I just googled her profile name, what popped up is her real name on Instagram, not the names the said hacker wrote up there.

with those names, you can get much more if you know where to look and how. He's more of a stalker than a hacker. Anyone interested enough in someone else can dig up names as long as the target has a visible footprint on the internet. I'm sure if you search NL well with her handle, you'd even see a reference to the other name.

That's not hacking. Not even close.

PS: please delete her name from your post. Thanks.

Saffi:
Men cannot handle cheating partners mentally like women do and that is just the truth. If you tell him now, the thought of you opening your legs to another man will constantly play in his head when he looks at you, which will eventually ruin your marriage. As a woman, if you cheat on your husband, you must take it to the grave otherwise you have yourself to blame.

To the sex part, encourage your hubby to look appealing for you. Work out together, eat well, mould him into the man that you want him to be physically. Tell him what you want him to do in bed. There’s only so much you can do, but for the sake of your vows and your home, good sex is really not worth it. You have to mentally train yourself to avoid temptation, that is the only way to stay faithful. And realistically most couples go through this at one point, so don’t beat yourself up too much. Dust your shoulders and do better and do not risk your family and your marriage for prick again. It is a temporary satisfaction and You will regret it.

you are just another lady that thinks she knows how men think. Clearly, you have no clue.

I like how you'd rather blame the mate's thoughts of the betrayal for ruining the marriage and not the actions of the cheating spouse. I bet your post would be different, were roles reversed.
