This Barcelona is a great counterattacking side

If they can stomach being mainly a counterattacking side, they could be dangerous. Also if they can get a proper defensive enforcer in midfield

Not a good game between United and RB, the ref also doesn't help by whistling for anything.

Liepzig will be kicking themselves they haven’t made their man advantage count. The one time he didn’t blow the whistle we were in their half we scored.

The United game seems to be at walking pace. What are they other games like?

Swear Morata has scored more disallowed goals than allowed goals this season.

Juventus-Palermo is fast paced, very entertaining, aside from the fact Palermo is winning and just look the better side

Juve 1-1 Morata scores. Looks tight but if Greenwood is onside this is.

Edit: it's offside, they didn't show the second screenshot originally.

UEFA's usage of VAR when it comes to offsides is crap. Greenwood and Morata both clearly offside.

Okay so now they need to explain why Greenwood's one was given if Morata's wasn't :lol:

It was offside, but between tight offside calls, and deflected goals, Barca doesnt have much control of this game at all.

Garbage Leipzig, another overhyped side on the scene that people have raved about over the last couple of years with a manager dressed like Jim Davidson but hasn't won fecking jot yet. Did they even bother to replace Werner with the money they got for him?

I think we can all agree that United winning the CL is a foregone conclusion at this point.

Why not simply end the competition and hand us the trophy at the end of the night. It will save a whole lot of hassle in the long run.

Barca are winning to Juve away, and yet, i dont find their performance that good.
Says more about Juve, or the potential of Barca?

Thought these Leipzig defenders were supposed to be WC.
Looks a thoroughly average side carried by Werner for years.

Both. Juventus are at this point in time a work in progress

Barcelona are great on the counter, and juventus allowed them to plenty of opportunities, but they struggle some in the build up and are not good at defending, which again juventus couldn't take advantage of because they're a brand new team with a new manager at the beginning of a weird season

Null and void it. Save lives.
