I hope farca can pull off a miracle but without the usual help they get from refs I can't see them beating pool over 2 legs.


Disagree, Barca struggles against teams which can control the midfield and are well organised.

Liverpool's midfield is absolute ass, it's a really bad matchup for them imo. The only real positives for Liverpool are their fullbacks as Messi/Coutinho/Dembele probably won't track them.

Much better team is as meaningless in H2H matchups as "world class" tbh, it's about how you matchup with the other team and they match up really badly.


Barca struggle without Messi it's simple and their attack flows through him. Look how they struggled when they played us in both legs. It took individual errors for them to beat us. In the forst leg when we stopped Messi they did fuck all.

Liverpool CM might not be 'technical' but they can cover a lot of ground and stop Messi from deep.

Another big diff is that Pool can cede possession to Barca and comfortably defend deep and counter attack as they have the pace and technical ability to do so.

Barcas MF is 'superior' on paper but they are disjointed and easy to bypass for a team like Pool.

Only thing I can see is if Messi has a miracle game and the ref plays the Xavi role for Barca.
Agree with everything. As they did with City last year in CL.

Yeah because that's worked for Madrid wonderfully over the years lmao.

They don't lose to teams that just sit back and counter attack, if Liverpool do that they'll lose very easily.

Fortunately i doubt they are that dumb.

Most of Barcelona's bad results this season came against teams that actually did better than them in the midfield. Not sure why folks are brushing off Rakitic and Busquets but if Pool can find a way (cheat if you must) to curtail those two, it'll greatly help in that department. Messi is Messi but he still needs a midfield to support him. And then there is fucking Suarez, good luck with that jammy player.

As for the Betis loss, Setien had all the stars align nicely that day. The return fixture, Betis had no such luck and normal business resumed nicely.

this pretty much backs up my point. Before we played them no one gave them a chance in hell yet they won. That’s why people are dumb for saying Liverpool don’t stand a chance.

Madrid had a lot of Luck and were nowhere as lethal

Obviously Pool won't just camp themselves in their own box. More like a press from the mf area to counter. If Pool pack the centre Messi will be ineffective and that will force Barca to play wide.

If Barca score first the game will change obviously but Pool are more than equipped to beat them.

Glad to see Arthur is been immense for us to make up for the aging Busquets especially, and Vidal as well, giving Busquets rests and when together on the pitch they cover a lot of the ground and do the running work that Busquets cant cover anymore. We are a better team than many rate us atm I think, and we are in good form. We have flaws, but it always feels similar to when ppl rated Man U favourites way back 2008, and then time and again, ppl give too much support to EPL since they hardly ever watch La Liga I guess?

If Firmino is actually injured, we're gonna be in trouble at the Camp Nou. He's our second most important player after Van Dijk.

We don't have anyone decent to replace him like for like Sturridge and Origi are waaaay too big of a drop in a quality. Will have to change the system. I could see Klopp playing Keita at AM and flood the midfield and play Mane-Salah up front by themselves. Probably a 4-4-2 diamond without Firmino.

I shit on him often to rustle the Pool fans but if Firmehno is out, it's definitely a big miss. Keeps you ticking. Elite DM.

I hope Barca utterly obliterate you but I'm expecting the opposite. Utter domination from Pool.

If Barça wins the treble, they should thank Nick in their celebration speech. Dude has legendary jinxing powers only second to McAgger.

Just don't be surprised if several Liverpool players come down with food poisoning under suspicious circumstances and forfeit tomorrow's game.

Pool only lose if they bottle it. On their night, I hate to say it, I really do, they're the best team in the world by far.

Still think they're going to absolutely obliterate Barca. And yes, I'll be shamelessly living vicariously through them and talking hella shit to Myesats, Futbol etc

and talking hella shit to the Loserpool fans if Barca win :coffee:

If you nullify Messi, Barca has nothing to offer. Klopp the mastermind and VVD the best defender surely know how to keep Messi quiet. Shame that Liverpool even don need any homework for their ex supplies. Sad easy win

35 year old Alessandro Nesta kept him so quiet in the first leg between them, I hardly noticed Messi was playing, to be fair. Didn't know you were in the Messi fanclub, although I have noticed you fapping over his freekicks in recent time hmm
