good to see you get back that confidence considering your team lost to both bvb and bmg who are title contenders


lets see how long you keep that confidence in your team up now

Is "woeful".


Listen I think Barca is at least 60-40 to win against Bayern, but Bayerns defence, if the midfield works, which it does again these days, is anything but woeful. It's in the top 3 with BMG and Juve.

And if you discount any offense consisting of Robbery and Gomez with either Kroos or Müller in the hole, it's your own damn fault, whoever you are.

Unless you think thats wrong, Bastian did shut him down, then why you are invovled with my post I dont know.

The video is there for all to see, Bastian didnt even make one tackle on him meanwhile Messi goes past him on at least 4 different occassions.

What I see when I look at that video is Schweinsteiger being glued to Messis heels, harassing him and forcing him to make horribly bad passes because he's too worried of Piggy taking the ball off his feet to think about where the ball should go next. That's about as close as you can come to shutting a player like Messi down.

But I agree on the account that the argument "LOL PIGGY ALONE IS STOPPING MESSI" is obviously stupid.
But what Piggy did do is throw Messi off his game enough that he made players like Boateng look like 2010 Lucio, and was totally owned by the likes of Friedrich and Khedira whenever he went past Schweinsteiger.

The main argument to be made would be that, if Germany could do it, Bayern should be able to do it as well.

We'll have to wait for the actual match though. It's just that I can't abide by either extreme in this argument. Neither is Barca gonna humiliate Bayern, nor is Bayern gonna win easily. Barca go in as favorites, but it'll be hard, hard work.

Then the strawman of Bayern being 2nd in the league, like Bundesliga were a shitty league, but I guess there are still people that believe that. Bayern's first 11 is great but our bench is meh, so I'm not surprised how erratically league form has been. Obviously CL is the focus, the final being in home ground and all. The defense while being top 5 in Europe is "woeful".

Bayern definitely would not "destroy" any of Milan, Madrid or Barca, but to write us off like that as I've seen here is laughable. Hell, on current form, we have better attack than Barcelona, who if not for Messi would be stuttering.

In these type of big team game anything goes. Bayern are a far more solid side than last year. Against Barca, I can see Madrid type numbers at least when it comes to possession. Our midfield is better than Madrid's when it comes to retaining the ball, so I don't see how Barca would dominate so easily, especially with Kroos.

Nowhere did I say Messi was great in this game, yet you keep trying to dress it up like im saying that. If you actually bothered reading what I wrote, you would see I said NOTHING about Messi's general performance. I dont know if your just hating on the guiy or what, but you seem to want to make a mission to take him down a peg here, for no reason.

A normal person would look at that video and say. Hey, just 4 minutes..thats not alot for Messi..or hey, this isnt alot of touches for him compared to his games with Barca, or hey, this guy is starting his attacks from much deeper than he normally does.

Then a normal person would say, why did all this happen? They would probably come to the conclusion that Argentina playing with 1 midfielder, a now converted CB wasnt a good idea and Germany vastly outnumbered them in that area. Forcing Messi to come deep, making him have start attacks from areas he normally doesnt and so on.

But no, the line is...hes a ball hog, hes selfish. Utter crap.

Overall, I dont understand why this subject is even being discussed here. Like I am here saying, hey Messi was actually magical in that game and anyone who says different is wrong.

No, I am here saying, Bastian did nothing to stop him. Period.


As for everyone else, I am sorry I cant reply to you. All I read is Bayern will do this, Bayern willdo that, Bayern midfield will domiante this, Gomez is fast, Bayern will own Barca 3 at the back...I dont have the energy to argue all these overall meaningless and unproven points. Lets wait and see, I have to say since early on in the season I wanted to face Bayern because of all this premature talk about how great they apperently are. Lets see.

Hello Munday,

I have been in search of someone that bear this name Munday,when I saw your name I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist each other. I am Mr. James Kwame a Banker here in GHANA. I believe it is destiny for me to come across your name on the internet.

I have an important business discussion I wish to share with you which I believe will interest you and also benefit will two because, it is in connection with your last name and you are going to benefit from it.

One Late Aimo Munday, of your country had a fixed deposit with my bank in 2005 for 36 calendar months, valued at USd10,300,000.00} Ten Million, three Hundred Thousand US Dollars) the due date for this deposit contract was this 16 of January 2007.

Sadly Mr Aimo Munday, was among the death victims in the May 26 2006 Earthquake disaster in Jawa, Indonesia that killed over 5,000 people. He was in Indonesia on a business trip and that was how he met his end.

My bank management is yet to know about his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I am his account officer.Mr Aimo Munday, did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir when the account was opened, and he was not married and no children. Last week my Bank Management requested that I should give instructions on what to do about his funds, if to renew the contract.

I know this will happen and that is why I have been looking for a means to handle the situation, because if my Bank Directors happens to know that he is dead and do not have any Heir, they will take the funds for their personal use, so I don't want such to happen. That was why when I saw your last name I was happy and I am now seeking your co-operation to present you as Next of Kin/ Heir to the account, since you have the same last name with him and my bank head quarters will release the account to you.

There is no risk involved; the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.

It is better that we claim the money, than allowing the Bank Directors to take it, they are rich already. I am not a greedy person, so I am suggesting we share the funds equal, 50/50% to both parties, my share will assist me to start my own company which has been my dream. Let me know your mind on this and please do treat this information as TOP SECRET. We shall go over the details once I receive your urgent response strictly through my personal email address, mrjameskwame140@gmail.com
We can as well discuss this on phone; let me have your telephone number and also know when you will be available to speak with me. Have a nice day and remain blessed.

Bayern also suits them, becouse they use more width. Dani was right in theory that if they push them back they benefit from it, but with Cex-Messi-Sanchez trio upfront I doubt Alves and Abidal single handedly alone can push Ribery and Robben back...

Bayern doesn't suit Madrid at all. I'm really curious, what makes you guys think Bayern suit Madrid more? Mourinho has already owned their predictibility, and will probably manage to do it again.

Milan sits back a lot and deny space and they will have their forwards and KPB running into space behind Barca's midfield. Whereas Bayern are more expansive in their play which is little bit similar to Barcelona in trying to control the game and possession etc. Although under Heynckes, i assume they have become tactically astute. But i bet we will get more space in attack against Bayern than against Milan.

Mou's Inter and Mou's Madrid and different teams and play differently too although there are a few similarities. Madrid's defense (not just the back 4) is not as solid as Inter's. Hence, why i said Bayern has more of chance to beat Madrid than Barcelona.

Indeed, while we don't have the defence of Inter, we "control" games more than Inter. Give me Bayern anyday, I want them. They have a terrible defense (Ronaldo's favourite) and they play a high line. And on top of that they play a open possession game.

Why not? Sounds like all the traits we enjoy.

BarcaLearning wrote:Can u guys pls explain a bit further why Milan is more suited to beating Barca,

They are tactically suited to stop Barca more so than Bayern Munich.

Milan are a possession team but when it comes to games like these where you have no hope of having superior possession against Barcelona they are simply gonna sit deep and defend and stifle Barca try to close down spaces as much as possible since they have the personnel to do it and try to hit them on the break.This is the very Italian way of doing it.

Actually if you look at both games this season.Milan's Gameplan differed in both the home and away fixture.Milan pressed hard in their home game and chalked up a decent amount of possession.

But this is a different scenario though.It is a two legged affair and Italians are masters in how to play over two legs.But this time i'm afraid Barcelona have too much quality and Messi will be too much for them.

Whereas Bayern are a pure possession based side just like Barcelona.That is their blueprint tactic.They arent used to defending deep.They play with a high line more or less.

Barcelona have superior possession keepers to Bayern.Add to that their defense is a big weakness.I'd be seriously interested to see how Jupp approaches this tie.

I think i'd be seeing a Spain-Germany except that the scoreline would be much larger.

I think Toni Kroos would be the most important player in this tie from a Bayern perspective as he's the most technically gifted midfielder in the team and also with the ability to keep the ball.Get hold of possession ,make the telling passes under pressure.

But i'm afraid Bayern would be in for an ownage here.

Also coming to Madrid ,I think Bayern would have the better share of possession and Mou would probably counter attack.

Id say 3-2 at Camp Nou (win for Barca), but then 3-1 at Allianz (win for Bayern), with Bayern going through, 5-4.
