how the frick else do you want to play against barca?



Madrid and Arsenal don't play that deep and narrow. Valencia has never played that way against Barca. Please don't pretend like that's the only way to play against Barca. It was more of the case that Barca couldn't finish than it was Chelsea stopped them. Compare this game with Inter's a couple of years ago, and you'll realize that Barca had many more chances against Chelsea than they did against Inter.

Second leg?

Chelsea will get raped.

Now, RM is going to have a problem with it's three Portuguese IMO. Will they show up or not?

Mourinho
Coentrao
Cristianito


The wild man from Borneo doesn't count (Pepe is Brasilian and nationalized Portuguese), although he is just as worrisome, if not more so.

Ramos also is a fount of worry after that abortion of a first leg match he had.

Bayern should be well prepared, and relatively unfazed by the occasion and setting.

Dude, if anyone was diving, and flopping it was Drogba. I don't recall any instance of Barca flopping this game.

Ramires, who got tripped in his own half and rolled to the Barca penalty area.

Nope, barca will get screwed, Madrid will win with some tickytack fouls in C-ron's range, and that sets up controversial Jose against his former club.

Uefa wouldn't let a chance like that go.

They don't. Madrid don't play deep at all against Barca, and Arsenal last season played a rather high line. And again, Valencia, Bilbao, and other Spanish teams don't play that deep and narrow. They weren't even good at playing deep and narrow, since Barca had plenty of chances.

And if Cesc wasn't a pretender, it would have happened. So many sitters missed by him.


If I'm Pep, I start Tello next week and throw money at Jordi Alba.

The second leg is going to need a MA stamp from the Classification and Rating Administration.

Send your children to bed early. There will be blood.

I know Drogba dove

Just saying ive seen Barca several times this year and that seems to be what they do best besides passing

And Chelsea had to beat them at their own game...which they did

In the second leg, we tried playing like Inter in 2010, and we got raped. When we played a high line like we did in the first leg, we played with them.
