Even if we win tomorrow, what are the actual chances of us lifting the UCL trophy with giants like PSG, Bayern, and our "neighbors" Madrid still in the mix? Look at how we are playing; Raphinha is out until May and is even a doubt for the second leg of El Clasico.

To be honest, I don’t think we stand a chance. This isn't some Club World Cup where teams play with fatigue; this is the big stage. It’s better we just face La Liga squarely. Maybe when we’ve made some "heavy" signings we can dream of Europe again.

I just don’t see a backline of Gerard Martín, Cubarsí, and Araujo facing that Bayern front three without someone collecting a straight red card. It would be a suicide mission. My hopes for the UCL this season are very low, but I still love the "never say die" spirit the boys are showing. At least they aren't going down without a fight.

You underrate your players too much.

Barca has been unfortunate over the years, as though someone has placed a curse on the club.

But UCL is not easy for any team.

And the players are good and dogged.

Win or Lose, those Players can hold their ground against any team in the world.

LUCK is also part of football.. And we pray for luck and fortunate moments today.

Good thing Flick is our coach and you're just a random on Nairaland.

How market?

Lewandowski benched...?

This is a big gamble from Flick.

Even a one legged Lewandowski is better than Ferran

AirBere:

You warned them that Cancelo is a better left winger and that starting a bang below average, rejected united player like Ikebe Clifford will result in defeat them no gree hear. Play Curbasi or Christensen on that left wing role and you'll have something better.

mostob:
I'm here debating on my head.. Eric Garcia against Sorloth? It's well.

Kilishihunter:
So who would have played left back since balde was just coming back from injury?

AirBere:
It's not about Cancelo even though he's the reference. Flick goofed big time by starting a liability like Rashford and it'll cost him the tie.

You can see he's trying to rectify the goof by dropping the mechanic today but it's late. Barca don jarrrrrrrrrr unfortunately. To answer your question, playing Fermin there or even Ferran would've been far better. In fact playing Araujo there would've been far better.

MeMiTi:
Ferran as how. That one is a minus one at any position. He is even worse on the wing
