They also played like this against Inter. It seems like they turn up a notch when they play big teams.
I don't think Arsenal can pull this one up, at least according
to what I've seen so far. Moreover, Fabregas got a yellow
and he won't play the second leg.
Man... man... what to do?

GO MOURINHO! 😛
Originally posted by SeitseBarcelona has been overwhelming, yes, but it's still 0-0. If Arsenal gets a goal against the run of play things may change dramatically if it unsettles Barcelona. But, yeah, Barça are just amazing to watch when they play like this and it's hard not to want them to win.
Indeed.

I think it's easy to criticize him for coming out, but if Ibra had shot with power then people would say he closed down the angle.
It was more about Ibra's cool thinking than Almunia's mistake, really.
Originally posted by PalynkaAlmunia had nothing to do out there. But the problem is actually even before Zlatan's cool finish. It started with a problem in Arsenals formation. Clichy is misplaced on every single Barca attack, which is either his fault or the coach's. I think maybe we've seen the limits of Wenger's tactical abilities. Of course, when Barca plays like that, they are the best team in the world. It might just be that. But as a football fan I'm very disappointed by Arsenal's sudden lack of ability to even make a simple pass.

Originally posted by LundosLOL, I think ManU has probably the best shot if they're in their fighting mood. To win against Barcelona you need to fight for every single ball. It's the only way I see it because technically and tactically they'll just blow you out of the water.
Yeah saw that. Zlatan is back. Who'll stop this team? Lyon?
Of course, Mourinho is not to be discounted but I think Inter should take CSKA more seriously or they could be on the way out...and just after I typed that Milito slots it coolly in the corner.
Originally posted by PalynkaManU tried last year and was played out of the stadium. Now Barca are a better team and ManU a poorer. I don't think they're able. That's why I chose Lyon.

Now we're cooking. Maybe we'll have a lively match now.
Any team with Mourinho shouldn't be taken lightly, but Inter does look tired and uninspired at the moment (except the Cheleas games).
