FC Barcelona vs AC Milan - Aftermath

Eivindo wrote:The only thing I hate about that match is that we didnt score 1 goal, that is it. When Barca wants to, they will win. Its all about the effort they make when they lose the ball, as no team can build possession.

Madrid fans pissing on Milans performance can fuk off. You wouldnt stand a chance against this Barca pressure, and no mortal team would. Perhaps Juve on a good day, but that remains to be seen.

you expect me to believe that this barca didnt show up in our last 10 or something encounters but suddenly they would show up now, just because you lost..
couple of days back we beat them 1-3, not a small margin defeat, nor a draw, we smashed them.

see the difference below

4-0, 4-1, 3-1, 2-1, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3

you failed miserably specially in comparison with madrid, sorry

Barcas pressing wasn't particularly impressive, it was good but Milan made it look impressive. Milan was woeful in midfield and defense when they won the ball, the players of the ball hid behind opposition as if they were scared to get the ball in case they might be the one who lost it, especially Flamini and Ambrosini. That combined with the fact that Mexes, Zapata and Constant aren't the best passers in the world meant that Milan basically gave the ball back to Barca.

They tried to play up but basically lost the ball at the second or third pass.

Their backline was also too low. Instead of playing right back into Barcas hands and staying low they should have tried the long ball asap towards Boateng, Niang and El Sharawy. As soon as the long ball is played they should have moved their defensive line up and pressed them.

You can't play out of defense if your defensive line is in your own penalty area if you're not at Barcas passing level, and especially against Barca who press hard. It's a big tactical mistake since you don't have any safe options backwards (towards the keeper for instant) when the space between the backline and goalkeeper is minimal. Hit it long, move up the line, press, press, press.

no worries... it's the exact same way we made Madrid look good.
They are terrible ffs. They struggle against mid level la liga teams.
It's just we are so bad that made them look good.
La Liga teams

I thought Barcelona was highly impressive. Yeah, Milan players shat themselves big time but just like Real Madrid's 10 minutes of glory against Man Utd, Barcelona still had to play the match and that they did. Really, really well.

Roura made all the necessary changes (how it took him so long is pretty frightening) and it worked wonderfully. Maybe this would quell the whole "End of era" nonsense and have people focus on more important things...like Malaga.

As for Milan, sigh, what can I say, the occasion got the better of the players, all of them and they choked enormously. It probably was the correct result as they would have been punching beyond their own weight. Sad really that I had to write that to describe Milan.

Real Madrid has done quite well against Barcelona this season mind you even with their famous pressuring of and off the ball. Unfortunately, Milan just didn't have the personnel to quell Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Shame my fellow Madrid fans are taking the piss at your side.

+1 Finally a Madrid fan not pissing on Milan and able to recognize our main problem

You just don't win with a defense of Zapata--Mexes----Constant. Not to mention how Flamini compromised the midfield countless times

Long story short, our squad needs a bit more quality

This season, especially the last few weeks, Barca has not been pressing as much as they usually do. That has been one of the biggest criticism. So I don't know if you can say that you have done well against it for that simple reason..

Dont take is personally Milan fans. They dont want to piss on you, but they cant go ahead and give Barcelona the praise they deserve so they are left with no choice.

Barca didnt play a great game, they didnt press well, they didnt put out a much better team (all things said on here btw)..the difference is, Milan just somehow a train wreck team with a useless coach.

btw i wasnt taking credit from Barca, you guys did a fantastic job of destroying us. The tactics, lineup, subs, they were all spot on. I was just pointing out that we simply don't have the same quality as Madrid in terms of players/squad

Mascherano did make his obligatory one misplace pass from his own half though. Tidy stuff from the Argentine.

Yeah, but apart from that mistake he was great.

No no, I dont have a problem with your post. I agree with it totally.

My post was directed at others.

I'm obligated to agree with that.

i see nothing wrong with saying it was more due to milan than barca for the outcome given barca's latest form

3 chokes > 1 blatant result

we are just pointing out opinions based on recent results, we beat you straight forward 2 times in a week, when you hear a milan fan saying madrid wouldn't stand a chance against this barca side, its just hilarious.

i mean it really is haha.. go figure

Barcelona made the necessary adjustments, realised the "wrongs" that went on during the 1st leg and had a proper game plan that they implemented with gusto and precision. I say they deserve most of the credit for dismantling Milan properly.

Yeah, Milan players' nerves got the best of them but that is simply not an excuse at this level.

Real Madrid can beat Barcelona whatever they're on their best shape or not.

Of course you can

Couple of wins against a coachless team and its all gone to your heads.

Waffling.

The facts are, Barca not Milan changed more from 1st leg to the 2nd.

What about the Supercup ? You all think that Barca is unbeatable now, because they trashed the weakest Milan side ever, but what about 2 days ago ?

And still that headless coach managed to beat Milan 4-0, when you lose it's because you have no coach, i don't think Tito would have made much difference anyway. we beat you with our second string players ffs.

Didn't want to go off topic, sorry for that.

Of course you dont think Tito would make any difference, thats what you do, make up fallacies.

Second string? You beat Barca in its weakest moment, we will see what condition we are in when we meet.

Of course you cant help but direct this to Barca and Madrid though, you cant help yourselfs.

But talk is cheap, we will see in the end.

This is Milan and Barca thread nothing else. Give us credit, or dont...whatever, we earnt our victory, not everyone can say that.

the adjustments barca made worked out against the specific opponent, it doesnt necessarily mean it will work out as succesfully with the rest of the clubs.

i dont have a problem with saying barca improved their game against milan compared to the 1st leg
but i have a problem when you include madrid,
they totally disregard countless factors which made the outcome take place.

if you dont want madrid mentioned, then dont mention madrid ( not speaking personally to you )

Who said anything about other clubs? Noone.

Noone said Madrid at all, they not even relevant here.

I would love us to face Barcelona

I'm not taking any credit away from Barcelona, i just think people should not be fouled by results such as this, you beat a weakened Milan side, nothing more.
