Barça just need a home tie to get back into this...

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Holy crap - Barcelona just ####ting the bed right now.

Again?

 

[B Maverick]

Aren't half of Barca's starters over 30?  Not just the D but so many older players. Playing in La Liga and with Messi and Suarez (to an extent) masking a lot of that with their scoring they will compete.  But damn if they aren't at a major crossroads in their team.  And timing couldn't be worse.

 

[Desert_Power]

Lenglet is 25 and being absolutely abused right now. 

Yes, that is why I added slow.

 

[The Z Machine]

When was the last time there were 0 Spanish teams in the semifinals of CL?

 

[Harris]

Just got back from dinner to turn this on and I see the score and immediately all I hear from the brutally honest British announcers, "Barcelona just being torn apart by Bayern Munich". Obviously the case by the score but I appreciate the added umph from the announcers as we go into halftime.

 

[Zigg]

Why no Griezmann?

Oldest team they have fielded in the CL. There are younger players on the team that should be in these roles. Vidal and Busquets are just getting skinned alive in the midfield....again

It was back in 2007, when English teams were dominant.  Chelsea, Liverpool, United, Milan in the semis.

LOL @ AC Milan.

Hahaha! €100m+ Griezmann on the bench
€100m+ Dembélé on the bench
€100m+ Coutinho on loan... & on the Bayern bench

@FCBarcelona  are in the biggest mess in the world of big clubs, the next Arsenal. Without Messi they'll plunge straight there

 Oh United fans

 

[B Maverick]

 Oh United fans

I didn't write it (and probably would have equated Messi leaving to SAF leaving United), just thought it was funny

Agree with the announcers, Perisic should have had two more.

Couldn't happen to a better club.  Well, maybe Real... maybe.

 

[The Z Machine]

Hey, this Alphonso Davies is pretty good.

 

[The Gator]

He isn't watching  

Please tell me you will at least have to wear a Bayern shirt to Thanksgiving dinner

 

[Harris]

First time since 1949 Barca have conceded 7 goals in any competition. Ouch.

 

[The Z Machine]

Wrong, they didn't concede 7 goals...

 

[Harris]

[B Maverick]

[Desert_Power]

Good thing its only one leg  

 

[Harris]

"2 minutes extra time, that's a sympathy number isn't it..."

 

[guru_007]

Can't wait for the return leg

 

[B Maverick]

Alaba MOTM? He started off the goal scoring for BM.....

 

[B Maverick]

Can't wait for the return leg

thats a lot of away goals to overcome.  Will the refs help them again?

 

[gianmarco]

No Messi or Ronaldo for the first time in the semi finals since 2005.

 

[The Gator]

No Messi or Ronaldo for the first time in the semi finals since 2005.

Just cancel the 2020 Ballon d'Or.

Oh, wait...

 

[B Maverick]

Barcalona fired Setien!

 

[The Gator]

Its not the best heat map ever generated - but its near the top:

Fabian Erlinghäuser @FabianErling

Barca-Bayern 2-8, holy cow! This is Luis Suarez' heat map, mostly seeing action at the kick-off after every Bayern goal

 

[Mjolnirs]

He isn't watching  

Just finished watching the replay.  

 

[Mjolnirs]

To be fair, he's worn a Bayern shirt to a Bayern match, and I've worn a Barcelona one to a Barcelona match.   (Both friendlies stateside.)

 

[Desert_Power]

Wow, passed that over the entire defense.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Lovely goal by Citeh

 

[CGRdrJoe]

 

 

[Harris]

Wowow amazing to let that pass run through your legs like that

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Sterling just missed an absolute sitter

 

[Desert_Power]

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Unbelievable turn of events

 

[The Gator]

EPL teams are overrated.

@Sebowski likes this post​

[Desert_Power]

Well the single-leg quaterfinals have been highly entertaining (if sad for me ).

 

[The Gator]

Man City - The Carabao year

 

[Major]

That was a fun watch.  Lyon really made the most of their limited chances.  Good for them.  

 

[El Floppo]

Well the single-leg quaterfinals have been highly entertaining (if sad for me ).

FA cup- I think- is getting rid of replays 

 

[CGRdrJoe]

DeJesus, 15 minutes and counting discussing VAR on the post show wrap up.
