How has United-Barca been? Fair result?

Nah, United don't deserve to be behind, really. The difference between the two teams is a deflection (that to be fair was set up from a great Messi cross/Suarez header). DDG has made one save, but Dalot really should've scored.

United clearly the better team in the last 15 minutes of the half.

Why did United start the game so negatively? They've probably been the better side since they conceded and had to come out to play

Barca playing in second gear after the 0-1. Slowing down plays, not counter attacking, no pressing until in the final third. Very relaxed performance by them. They go the 3rd/4rd gear after the 70th minute. It's hoping for United they aren't tired by then.

Ajax has been better team in first half. Couldnt believe how they played Juve like they are lower table team but Ronaldo the difference maker. It was straight header but fecker can generate lot of force.

I think Ajax has lot about them, they might tire out Juve. The desire, the teamwork is evident. Rooting for Ajax, excuse me i know Juve, Bayern, Barca, Madrid are current powerhouses but Ajax has as good a history as Liverpool and Utd, when it comes to European Competitions. Ajax is bigger club than Arsenal, Spurs, City and Chelsea combined when it comes to European club competition.

United needs to be more clinical. Barca scored on their first chance.

I'm impressed with McTominay. Hope he can maintain his tempo on 2nd half.

Problem for United is that Barca are far better at the Nou Camp.

Last season Chelsea gave them a serious game at the Bridge (Willian hit the post twice) and were 100% the better side, but got blown away in Barca.

Khan is an exciting fighter, but Crawford is a tier above. Not gonna pay for it, but it'll be a pretty good fight I'm sure.

Wasn't that the game Courtois spread his legs like Mia Khalifa?

Juve have been outplayed by Ajax. Timing of the goal couldn't have been better for them.

Kean should be on for Mandzukic with the space they'll have on the counter.

Barca are playing so strangely. Sitting back and happy to sit on this 1-0 win when they’re capable of exploiting United if they wanted to. It would be fine to do that if it wasn’t playing into Uniteds hand, as they’re looking the more likely to score.

Juve are the only hope of neither City or Liverpool winning this aren't they. Liverpool beat Barca in the semis I reckon.

Ajax absolutely dominating Juventus but losing. Essentially it's Ronaldo 1 - 0 Ajax.

Thing is they have the quality to slap us 3-4 nill if they played to 80% of their potential. Right now they are cruising...

If they don't want to play ti their potential, lets punish them.

No one give Messi another nosebleed, there will be a 30 minute break for Messi to get a full manicure and sex change.

That’s what I’m saying. If they wanted to they could easily do so and they should because playing like they are isn’t benefiting them, it’s benefiting you.

Okay, how is that not a free kick, but it would be a penalty? :lol::lol:

Busquets should be gone and United should have a free kick.
