IKON360:

this is very astute. Thank you. Sha taking one on ones isn't easy, Kane, Dele Alli, Lacazette and so many others have found it difficult in netting one on ones against De Gea, its not Mbappe was poor but that De Gea is that good. Even Di Maria failed to score a one on one against De Gea in the 1st leg. Personally, the reason I like Dembele is his pace and his ability to use both feet very well. That's why I love Carzola and one lady like that in the Japanese national team that came 2nd in 2012 Olympics. That lady took corners and free kicks with both feet and sporadic rates.
But Mbappe is often more reliable than Dembele, both of them need space to be effective, both are good dribblers, Mbappe is more versatile in attacking positions than Dembele, but Dembele can play 10, 11, 7 and even 8(he will be drifting in and out sha). As a Barca fan I prefer Dembele but footballing as a whole, Mbappe is doing very well.

nice one bros.

Corrosiveman:
Once we survive Lyon i believe we can win the CL......the only problem is when Lyon scores first......i dont see why we should be Afraid, No squad in Europe wey you fit compare to us now......For now lets pray Valverde does not disappoint us with Useless line-up

Once we survive the quarter-final.

Lineup for tomorrow:

--------------------------------ter Stegen----------------------------------


Roberto/Semedo------Murillo-------Umtiti---------Miranda


------Alena-----------------------Vidal---------------------Arthur


-------Malcom--------------------------------------------Coutinho


----------------------------------Boateng--------------------------------


Take Arthur off after the first half and replace him with Roberto or Coutinho (he should drop back to the midfield). If Coutinho is the one to replace Arthur, then bring in Dembouz to occupy that left flank.

Players like Malcom, Coutinho, Boateng, Vidal and Alena that rarely get gametime should play 90mins. Umtiti too should play 90mins to continue with his recovery.

Players like Messi, Suarez, Rakitic, Busquets, Jordi Alba and Pique should not, I repeat SHOULD NOT near that pitch

Suarez even admitted to it that he shouldn't have played the game (Leganes) before Roma. So the coach should better learn from his mistakes. Those six players should be rested, infact they should not even be in the stands. They should watch the game from their respective homes

Because at this point,











IT'S ALL ABOUT OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS!!!

Bloody coach didn't even add Boateng to the squad. He wants to play Suarez and Messi in this match


Let's just forget about the UCL this season and hope for next season. Can't stress myself abeg.

UCL this season is funny....I can't remember the last time a small club like Olympique Lyon made me to panic

even Man city are panicky, they beat Schalke 3 - 2, Aguero gave an interview that they should all be focused and careful. Ath Madrid, Barca and Man city need to be on their toes. We most especially, it will be insulting if we lose to Lyon

I dey tell u bro
this our Lyon match just dey do me somehow for body

IKON360:

2 early goals that came from a Buffon blunder and a misplaced back pass. And the winning goal from VAR's assistance. Some teams are lucky, some are not. Some other times, you create your own luck by being ruthless with every chance that comes your way, no matter how inconsequential the chance may look.

True Sha, I am more concerned about Barca now
I really don't know why I have a premonition of Manchester United winning the UCL? I can't explain why?

Because it's EPL, and you are being trapped by their media hype.

Assuming it was man utd that came from 4-0 down to win 6-1 against PSG, they'll hype it better than Barcelona's.

I'm so glad to read comments here talking about Lyon. Now I see fans respecting a team that beat PSG, and outplayed Man City. This was how some Madrid fans underrated an Ajax team that outplayed Bayern both home and away, but their eyes don clear.

I need Suarez and Dembele to go all out and score as much as possible. A 1-1 or 2-2 draw is enough to knock us out. We need to win @ all cost.

IKON360:

we are talking of the most conservative Barca coach in 15 years, he will definitely not try any learner be he old or young at a position as vital as Right Back against a team like Lyon. For me I'll start Vidal at right with specific instructions not to overlap, no matter the reason.

I second this.

My brother, if it is by conjunctions like this, we could have won UCL last season. I can't remember the story, but it supported us wining UCL, until Roma bleeped us out brutally.

All these permutations and combinations should be taken with a pinch of salt... OK, what about this?

2008, Barcelona got knocked out without scoring an away goal.
2009, Barcelona won UCL

2014, Barcelona got knocked out without scoring an away goal
2015, Barcelona won UCL

2018, Barcelona got knocked out without scoring an away goal
