Yeah, before the goal Real Madrid was pretty bad. Like I said in my post (where I jinxed that shit lmao), they got the ball, and lost it right away, but after the goal it was much better.

Didn't see 2nd half.

I told you not to worry, SajN.

I only worried the first few days, but after reading around, I realized that most likely the ban would be lifted. Good news.

Is Guardiola turning mighty, fast and powerful Bayern into a soft-non-stop-pointless passing version of Barcelona? Yesterday, they had 350 passes over Real`s 130 passes at one point and they did nothing worth of mention. Just pass after pass after pass...to nothing. And people think it`s good football, but it is boring to watch. It`s like you value basketball players over how many time they dribble the ball.

[Trimss]

Nah I don't think he's turning them into that, yesterday was a complicated match and Real was solid in the back. Ribery and Robben weren't inspired either.

[SajN]

This isn't proper tiki-taka, though. It takes lots of skills and movement and precision to play proper tiki-taka. Not even Barcelona are able to do it right now. Tiki-taka is more than just "passing"

[SajN]

I think the problem with Barca is Fabregas, way too slow.

Not only, but definitely one of them. He has been doing so bad in 2014 yet Tata has kept starting with him, even in CL. We have seen several times that when he is subbed out, Barca starts playing better, but for some reason Tata has stuck with his old tactics. He doesn't seem like the guy Barca should continue with.

He even said in an interview that he is trying to not involve Messi so much in the matches. Like wtf

I agree. Very hard to play like that. But it`s boring to watch. The way Bayern played under Heynckes was amazing, lots of shots, straightforward football without hundreds of pointless passes.

[SajN]

Yeah, we saw in Guardiola's last season in Barca that he wasn't inspired anymore, and didn't even have a Plan B. Seems like the same problem here, but I also think that Bayern's players don't fit that style.

[Fleka]

Barcelona just came to it`s end. That just happens. Bayern isn`t the team that should play like that. And Cesc needs to go back to Arsenal. Him and Ozil

[SajN]

What goes up, must come down. Barcelona had some very strong seasons since 2008, and they can't stay on top forever. Plus the team is aging and some players aren't as good anymore, so they definitely need to rebuild the squad. In few years I am sure they will again be back on top.

And I hope Cesc leaves Barca. He even ruin things for me on FIFA, smh.

Let's just all hope that Atletico drop points this time around.

I need Barca to keep winning, because if Atletico doesn't win La Liag and we do, they'll get to play against us in the Super Cup and they won't want to miss that. I can't afford the two plotting some shit at the end of the season.

Maybe they will. They're not used to getting this far in CL so they'll probably be tired and such. Doesn't seem like Barcelona will win La Liga, so if they don't, I definitely want Atletico to do it

[Guess_Who]

I wont even be that mad if Atletico wins. What a great season they are having.

Also if Real aint winning the CL, I hope Atletico does.

Fuck Atletico, i'd rather Barca win La Liga if we don't.

You are a truly madridista, hating on Atlético more than on Barça.
