Champions League QFs (11th - 19th April)

[padr81]

Is Mandzukic playing left wing?

Yup he's being reinvented playing out there for Juve.

Been a poor game, Juve dropping deeper and deeper, Barca offering little and the ref allowing Juve free reign tonight. Neymar being a petulant child. Poor advert for the CL in general. If Barca don't score first 10 minutes this one is over.

 

[Dan]

I could never be a referee, i'd be telling those Barcelona players to feck off every time they surround the ref.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Yes, he's played there all season.

Seriously? Never would have had him as a winger.

Hows he been there?

 

[RW2]

Nice of Iniesta to be continuously offering his services to the referee on the decisions he makes. . .

 

[Cal?]

Beautiful. I hope the ref gives 3 min extra at the end and only plays 2.

Hopefully it won't matter as Barca will need 5 at that stage.

 

[Cliche Guevara]

I should've used white text

Yeah he's missed the point rather badly there, hasn't he.

 

[Kostur]

Proper Wenger replacement?

I kid

Exactly.

 

[Stadjer]

Barca players react the same way every time they are losing.

Has always been like that.. even in the Xavi, Guardiola, best Barca ever period. They didnt lose much back then though so they didnt show it that often

 

[Jev]

Referee has been slightly hard on Barcelona today but I guess there's some poetic justice in that.

That's not why their losing, though. Juve are tight and compact and doing well. Though I wouldn't rule out Barca just yet.

 

[kouroux]

Barca will really turn up the theatrics in the 2nd half.

They are pathetic tbh. I mean they do not need to waste time as their situation is tough but natural cheating and crybaby behavior takes over.

 

[Theafonis]

 

[Cristiano Lell]

I remember when I was crucified by the Germans on here for simply stating I was strongly backing Monaco in this tie on the day the draw was made.

I said Monaco was on another planet to Dortmund this season in terms of performances and got some crap such as "Eintracht Frankfurt are better than Metz" in return. "You should only compare Champions League performances".

Completely ripping them apart, as expected.

Crucified by the Germans, only to be proven right with a vengenace during Easter. You should start a religion.

 

[Yagami]

Higuain's general play has been brilliant so far. Just hope the big chance doesn't fall to him.

 

[Rado_N]

Amazing tekkers

 

[Pexbo]

Nice of Iniesta to be continuously offering his services to the referee on the decisions he makes. . .

It's what makes them so fecking hard to like as a neutral. They are a bunch of whiney bitches when their backs are against the wall.

 

[Kostur]

Messi's breakdancing skills have always been underrated.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Even with not playing, Real gets all the calls.

 

[Synco]

Photoshop time.

 

[Vato]

Wrong time to breakdance.

 

[kouroux]

I seems like they could play 5 hours and still not create a single chance here. They need to make some changes I think.

It is already over. They mostly need to stop acting like little bitches and get on with the game because there is no time for theatrics and cheating.

 

[MadMike]

Messi with an impromptu break dancing routine on the centre circle

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Going to tempt fate a little bit here:

Yeah, it begs the question as to why it took them 88 minutes to start playing well. The five minutes of added time was a gift and they'll be found out against teams with more European pedigree.

 

[GiddyUp]

I bet UEFA phone lines are blowing up from Barca big wigs moaning about the standard of this "fair" refereeing.

 

[SachinJ22]

Neymar and Suarez shouting at the ref for giving wrong decisions, oh the irony. They start crying like kids when decisions go against them.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

I feel like Messi should stick to the right wing more.

He's easier to mark out of the game centrally in big games like this.

Neymar the only Barcelona player driving forward again with any real threat.

 

[carlosp]

What happened to Neymar?

@GifLord gif please - The challenge for the yellow card please.

 

[barros]

Damn that was nasty, did he made a hole?

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

You a US journo? Clubs can't win the World Cup, man.

World class team

 

[Scarecrow]

I bet UEFA phone lines are blowing up from Barca big wigs moaning about the standard of this "fair" refereeing.

I want my money back!

 

[MadMike]

Dortmund looking better after Dembele came on, more possession and more threat on them. Too little too late ofc.

 

[el3mel]

Both games are settled already.

I hope for RM vs Monaco and Juve vs Atletico in semi final , with RM and Juve meeting at the final.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Damn that was nasty, did he made a hole?

I think it was intentional. Yes, it was a bad challenge but Messi did his best to make it look as horrible as possible.

[Theafonis]

Another angle

Fair enough.

Was guessing it would be a bit boring, which is why I started off watching the Moanco - Dortmund game.

Both ties seem to be over now anyway.

 

[Yagami]

Seriously? Never would have had him as a winger.

Hows he been there?

Surprisingly very good! Whenever I've watched Juve this year it's been their defensive shape that's stood out to me and he plays a huge part in why it's so solid. Fitting Mandzukic, Higuain and Dybala all into the same starting XI is no easy feat but Allegri has managed it.

 

[Hojoon]

Dortmund looking better after Dembele came on, more possession and more threat on them. Too little too late ofc.

I wouldn't be sure about that, Monaco have been horrible in second halves for the past 3 CL matches.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Next time Barca players surround the ref he should book each and every one of them. He would be entitled to.

 

[Rado_N]

Another angle

Peeking up at the ref there, just like Busquets

 

[Peyroteo]

Fowler did it better
