UEFA Champions League 2nd Leg Discussion : FC Barcelona vs Manchester City

The march towards the treble will possibly be decided this week.

FC Barcelona vs Manchester City (2-1)
UEFA Champions League Second Leg

Date : 3/18/2015 (Wednesday)
Time : 14:45
Location : Camp Nou

should be pretty basic.. if we don't concede in the first half we're pretty much in the clear.

is there any threat other than Aguero in M. City ??
No
We have to play vs one threat. They need to play at least vs 3 threats and a goal deficit with 2 away goals disadvantage. would be shame if we cant go through past this City.

Simple. Don't play scared and the tie should be easy. We should have put them to the sword last game, I will settle for another goal in the first half and then playing a patient, but positive, possession game.

Can't see City getting anything here

Pep will be in attendance tomorrow. Already scouting his next potential oppoenents

What's he doing in Barcelona?

EDIT

I guess you were being serious, he really is coming to scout us LOL. He is going to also be in attendance for the Atletico/Neverkusen game today, then tomorrow be at the Camp Nou.

Talk in Munich is that he he's about to be part of an election package in summer, return as manager, with Xavi as assistant; and he's in Barcelona to talk it over with Laporta.
Apparently our Bayern board is already scrambling for a replacement.

That would be just...

Is this a troll move or are you serious? I need to know which it is first before I start screaming like a little girl.

Here you can see the headline.. "Pep kehrt zu Barca zurück" which means "Pep returns to Barca"

Pep also said a couple weeks ago that if he signs back with Barca you can hit him with a hammer.
don't get excited over rumors.

yea I just don't ever see Pep coming back after how things went so south after he left regarding his relationship with the club and him. Xavi has been bringing up the coaching thing allot more recently, so maybe there could be some truth to it, even it's just a small bit of truth.

I COULD however see Laporta trying to lure Pep back with every inch of his soul. Him guaranteeing Pep would hand him the presidency back in a heart beat.

And I might get hated on for this, but Pep was almost too much of a tactical hippy towards the last 2 seasons for my liking. He mad me nervous. Plus I don't like his rotating door policy he had on signings, someone came in and it seemed like he immidietley wanted them out at the end of that season (Ibra, Cesc, Villa, etc).

Now it's reported that Tuchel is moving with his family to München these days, he's been hotly tipped to take over in summer after Pep returns to Barca and this move is further evidence it's actually happening.

I hope he stays in Munich.
If anything the constant comparison with his first period will crush him.

On the other hand this board is full of people that think that Barca 2009 -2012 wasn't a once in a lifetime thing...

He is intelligent enough to not come....

He will go to England for sure. Where to? I have no idea. If Bayern win the cl I have a feeling he will go to Manchester City.

Stoke...I have proof

You shouldnt get hated for that IMO.

There is no perfect coach. I think Pep was constantly aware that Barca had to continue to evolve on a tactical level to keep our advantage and with that came alot experimenting which obviously can sometimes be negative.

So apparently Vermalean is back to training and will debut in April.

Official. Pretty much the expected team.

What was Ter Stegen thinking trying to take on Aguero?! Ridiculous

Our finishing has been a joke, and Hart is having the game of his life.

My god, it was like watching Sanchez and Pedro again, with Neymar and Suarez. Neymar started the bad karma with the first half miss like Sanchez started it against Chelsea.

Our forwards made a zero look like hero one of the worst EPL keeper saving shots after shots of Neymar messi and suarez giving english media to hype on something in tomorrows daily. we better talk how awful and predictable those shots were. we always hit him rather than him saving those.
