Liverpool will destroy Barca already because of Busquets alone

Barca never got "destroyed" by an English team and never will.

lol Liverpool are a 2nd rate Europa League team with Henderson and 33 year old Milner in midfield. Just because they run a lot and it works in eMule League you think we're going to shit the bed when Henderson makes 20 sprints.

Suarez brace, Messi goal, Coutinho long range curler. 4-0 first leg.

Name on the trophy.

Madrid'ing our way to the title. Only Ajax, Spurs, Liverpool left in the competition. WATTBA.

Dear @Unique and Liverpool,

I know I hope you guys don't win the league (or ever in my life time) but I ask of you: please send @futbol and his shit side back to the depths of hell whence they came from aka La Liga. Please KO them. Please. You are the real prince that was promised.

But do continue to do shit in the EPL though.

Liverpool's away form against the top English sides (basically La Liga midtable level):

1-2 vs. City
2-1 vs. Spurs
1-1 vs. Arsenal
1-1 vs. Chelsea
0-0 vs. United

Home form:

0-0 vs. City
2-1 vs. Spurs (incredible luck)
5-1 vs. Arsenal
2-0 vs. Chelsea (Hazard missed 2 sitters)
3-1 vs. United (when Mourinho was manipulating them)

In 10 games, they've only pasted Arsenal once. But yeah, they will destroy Barcelona, which is a much better team than any of those teams. We put 4 past Spurs at their place and handed out the biggest defeat in United's 2-legged Cup history while playing in 2nd gear.

At the end of this CL campaign, Messi will hold the record for scoring the most goals against English top 6 and the record will stay for decades, despite him not playing in England.

EPL fanboys OUT
Klopp nuthuggers OUT (yes, I''m talking to you Hans)
Mehdrid fans praying against Barca's treble of trebles OUT OUT OUT

Name on the trophy.

We will lift it in the centre of Madrid.

Destiny.

Deal with it.

Very good game it will be.

Barcelona have their own weakness in midfiled. Lets see how good Livepool is in midfield. Busquet is not clinical as he use to be , with him doing less mistake , if he does what he use to do in regular laliga game , that will be enough.

Liverpool really have to be strong enough in defense else Messi and company will drill them through. Liverpool has strong attacking front , my guess is that Ted Stegen has to do a lot of work in two leg.

I guess it will be the night of Arthur and Coutinho to shine.

Looking forward for this clash !

I see Barcelona as clear favorites.

It's different for Pool. Beating teams like Chelsea 2-0? It's easy to look good. Try playing Atletico or Sevilla. Even Valencia.

Barca destroyed Man U eyes closed and yawning. Don't recall Pool doing the same a couple weeks back

Barca has improved its defense over the course of time. Then again we have not faced any decent team yet bar ATM. I don't rate Spurs, I think what they did last night, they can do it only against a PL team. Liverpool will be the first real challenge for our defense. Last year we hyped our defensive ability until we faced Roma away.

Why the hate, mate???

Yeah, but this actually also shows how strong was Man United over many decades in European Cup ties. The worst loss is a 4-0? I mean, the worst? That's not even close to what happened to Barca a few years back or what happened to Arsenal vs Bayern.

In 2013, Barca lost 7-0 on aggregate against Bayern for example. Or AC Milan, they lost in 2010 with 7-2 on aggregate against United.

Honestly, Barca this season isnt that good and Messi despite all his brilliant goals and assists, is not the destroyer he used to be.
He is way easier to handle these days.

Manchester, as bad they are, conceded goals on mistakes. I dont think Liverpool is going to have as many mistskes as mu did.

This is Barca's hardest game this season without a doubt. Its 50/50 imo.

Messi's at the best he's ever been tbh

Honestly as much as i think Barca will win, i really want Liverpool to win tbh

Mainly because of how ridiculous Futbol's views on Liverpool is, it's like he hasn't watched them play in over two years.

The whole VVD vs Messi reminds me of the same conversation we had about Boateng at the peak of his power. It ended with Boateng eating grass after Messi embarrassed him. I fear the same fate for VVD

After what He did to Jones, VVD better insure his new found reputation.

Jones is probably the worst CB we've ever had. Everyone thought he had huge potential, but it's been years since his last decent performance against top opposition.

I agree with @Mamad, Liverpool are much better than United and it will be a tough tie for both sides, at least this is how I see it now.

Not even Maldini would stop Messi at this point

VVD better watch his mouth not to repeat Smalling's mistake

People talking about VVD are completely missing the point tbh.

Messi plays so deep that VVD will never be a factor outside of the penalty area. Fabinho is the one who needs to have the games of life to stop Messi

VVD isn't really relevant to the discussion of Messi for the most part.

How many defenders have had a match where they had Messi in their pockets?

I can think of Ashley Cole, Kompany and Godin. But that's about it.

Imagine taking Masch but then that's fine but then taking Suarez and Coutinho and still being so fucking shite that Madrid breaks records while you just sit and watch while having Messi? I hope we destroy you because you're literally just a bunch of losers allowing Madrid to make this claim.

You're still better than us but I'd love to drop you out because you're nothing but Madrid aftermath cleaners.

When did I change this lmao

Liverpool should drill Farca pretty easily tbh even with Messi on form. Much better team.

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.

Yea agreed. Liverpool are a better team by far.
