Would be a helluva lot better if it was that the whole time. I don't think anybody says seeing a team come back from 4-0 down to win 6-5 is nit amazing. That's football though, it's an amazing game when it's competitive. The problem is that the Champions League does all it can to be as uncompetitive as possible to ensure the same elite super-clubs can be guaranteed as much money as possible.

Parklife Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Incredible comeback. Didn't see the whole match but turned it on at 3-0 due to texts from my mates about the game. Once Cavani scored i thought it'd be over (he also missed a good chance to make it 3-2 and really kill the tie) but credit to Barca for an astounding comeback. 1 hour ago, adamntg said: The problem is that the Champions League does all it can to be as uncompetitive as possible to ensure the same elite super-clubs can be guaranteed as much money as possible. Correct. I read a stat yesterday that in every season since 2009-10 that two of Real Madrid, Barca & Bayern had been in every semi final draw. It's uncompetitive and dull.

Mox Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Last night was astounding in isolation, but one match does not eradicate the champions leagues failings. Once the 8 QF are decided next week, you would imagine they will be 8 of the top 10/12 richest clubs in the world, its a closed shop for most of us and that isn't going to change anytime soon.

adamntg Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Slightly ironic that this game was almost 30 years to the day since Dundee Utd eliminated Barcelona from Europe. Now THAT was drama... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Sergio Roberto channelling his inner Lukas Jutkiewicz. I was driving home from Birmingham, and it certainly made the drive more interesting, although losing the radio reception when they got the penalty for the 5th was frustrating!!

I took 13/5 Barcelona to win by 3 or more goals yesterday morning & thought that was decent. Almost took Barcelona to win 5-1 but changed my mind.

As mentioned above, he played for Liverpool and Man U. He couldn't care less about any club rivalry. Neil Lennon is a football man. Never seen him lapping the studio when Rangers won the Challenge Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English Premier League paid the UEFA fine to allow Sky to show the game at that time rather than playing it earlier & inconveniencing the fans going to the match.

The right back slips, falls over and into Neymar, its a stonewall penalty. I thought Neymar changed his run & deliberately ran in to the guy that was falling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
