your team looked awful today but still i think they are big favorites to go through. once when barca scores first goal i am afraid milan is going down easily. they play bad all the season and would be too much to play two so great matches is so short period

Hvala, for that

I know man, unrecognizable. If we play the upcoming 2 Clasico's like this, we are toast.

Can't believe this, last year AC Milan had much better team and we drew 0-0 over there. Now they have worse team and we are losing. Hopefully not the same scenario as last year. Defense has to be much much better than today, also Cerebro - Pulga - el Profe needs to play superb.

Barca need to change tactics and cross the ball

in Camp N you will see 9 Milan players on edge of the pen box

then 1 breakaway goal for Milan and its adios amigos

only Busquets and Pique are above 6 ft jefe

that will probably be the plan for Milan, just like Chelsea last year

i think barca is also fairly weaker than last year. i mean they have almost max number of points in La Liga but plenty of games were on edge and could against them, something what wasn't happening in the past, when they were winning they were winning in a style. also they don't create so many chances like before, through entire year i have a feeling like it's more than playable against them this year . don't know, maybe i am wrong but that are my impressions

Congrats to the Milan fans. Tie is definitely not over, but Milan are clear favorites now. Stunning lack of ideas from Barca up front today. I'm sure the team will do their best to turn it around at Camp Nou and even if they don't it's not the end of the world.

As for the handball goal, I think either decision would have been acceptable, will give the ref the benefit of the doubt. That's not the reason Barca lost, but rather a generally lackasidical performance, team seemed quite content to hold on to 0-0 and when they finally started trying to penetrate Milan were perfectly organized and high on confidence.

true but they can do the low crosses to back post, remember like the Barca goal that beat Celtic in 90th min

but they need the tactic to pull defenders out of a line, Barca too predictable trying to always go through the middle

I agree here. There were many matches that would have been draw if a football match would end after 80 mins. To me Barcelona seems to be more vulnerable this season than last season. There are many matches where they conceded goals. Most of the time they can rely on Messi doing something and assist or score a goal, but they seem to me also a bit more dependent on Messi than they were in the years before.

That's 2 non-trolling posts mate, don't get too soft!

I agree with that. Quality post, that shows how shitty RM has been this season.
We had a lot of wins in the last couple of minutes. Even when we won everything and had only 1 draw I felt like we played much better football under Pepito. Also Tito has no charm whatsoever. This just proves to me (I knew it all along) that not every coach can be succesfull + great play @ Barça and Guardiola is not a mug. La Liga will probably be in the pocket, if we beat RM in Copa we can go for 2 prizes but playstyle wise I'm not impressed.

Pepito maybe made some foolish decision to play with 3-4-3, and got slaughtered defensewise but Tito's gameplan is so predictable. No funky action anymore, Rijkaard's team played more adventureous than this team.

and this hype about little of handball . wasn't the most famous handballer in last 10 years or so barca player at the time when he reached his peak in national team . such skills could be tricky sometimes, could go against you also

To be fair they missed Tito tonight, big time. Jordi Roura's substitutions were bizarre and he looked completely clueless.

yeah smart plan

they should ditch Cesc next match and play like this. keep the field large so Milan has to come out a little.
of course scoring a goal early in the game is pivetal.

yeah Roura is a clown. can't believe we didn't approach Luis Enrique or made Guillermo Amor assistent manager.
I know Roura is a personal friend and former team mate of Pep and Tito but that guy is as you said pretty clueless. I'm not a big fan of Tito, but I hope he gets better soon. If it's up to me, we will go for Luis Enrique or promote Eusebio to A squad next year. But I don't think Rosell will do that if we win La Liga.

[Corey Feldman]

this time no volcano cloud caused Barca to lose by 2 in Milano

[Corey Feldman]

been watching copa liba on ESPN, Neymar fighting and saying football "is boring"

loved Pele saying Neymar cares more about his hair than his football

I feel for Tito as succeeding Guardiola was always going to be a mammoth task- whoever came in would have to match him and while he's done fine domestically, they're just not quite at the same level to get it done in the CL. I think they could do with a proper centre forward, a goal poacher of sorts- a new, younger Villa-type player who can get them goals if Plan A isn't working.
