i will rate ter stergen the least for me he is the flop of the match
barcelona is messi. without messi barcelona is a average team. bavaria vs barcelona without messi 7:0
@wawa bavaria without Ribéry can only win the shitty bundesliga
lucky points for barcelona! yesterday (!!) would be a fair result like 0:2 for leverkusen!
@wawa that's not how football works , average teams can have 10 chances and lose , great teams with awful performance still win , when they make the good performances they destroy opponents
Thank you, Roberto. Iniesta does not have the ability to control and reserve the ball any more. It is sad.
@mandru_lee Retard
@mandru_lee Imbecile. Cretin. Iniesta has been the best midfielder this season, easily. If Enrique stops fucking with tactics and changing players' roles, maybe he'd get the best out of them!
Last 20 minutes were the best play by Barcelona and their forwards. Messi magic was clearly missing and Barca got to learn from this.
Sergi Roberto is very good in this season, best than Alves.
what is barcas formation in this match
barcelona still is barcelona !
nice save from barca...almost got embarassing
Typical Barcelona dominitation Game ._
2-1 SUAREZ!!
claudio bravo needs to return .. ter stegn is just conceding too many errors
Ter Stegen is becoming a serious problem
@neumi17 no but seriously: Ter Stegen is one of the most able goalkeepers right now, but the stick might get to him...
@neumi17 CR7>Ter Stegen>Messi
@EhrmannFootball i read many comments pf you but now i am very surprised that you are that stupid hater....
@EhrmannFootball wow wow... I'm wondering what in your brain!
Neymar will score...This year I feel he will be top scorer or maybe cr7 if he continues to try hard against small clubs.
@Beastador You should have someone who tries hard against small clubs. Or big clubs so to speak.
2-0
another lose for 4Celona
@Oliverwarner lol @ u and ur small team
viva barca
Barca will lose at Camp now
@IronFist and u'll get a brain for christmas
Barcelona win here, even without Messi Barcelona can rely on Suarez, dude is a beast and Barca fans never give the credit he diserves. Barcelona 2-0 but Ter Stegen must be VERY careful about Çalhanoglu.
Barcelona - Bayer 1:1/1:2
Bellarabi
draw
Barca win 2:1
Its Just gona. Be 3:0 Game against Bayer No doubT
@JohnexAmadi 3:0 haha
Both to score
fc barcelona 2 _ 2 bayer leverkuzen -neymar -chicharito -suarez -calhanouglo
I would be very happy if Barcelona lose
@Crazybaby hahaa lol @ u & ur small team
It is not easy to win for Barcelona. I think the score may be Barcelona win just 1-0.
Kiesling is very good in the air, although they shouldn't get carried away by this, and the three behind him are top class too. I don't know about Leverkusen's defence, but I reckon they're likely to score.
@What4 "i dont know" "but"... lol if you dont know so stfu
With Messi out, Neymar is going to be man of the match and scoring once at least. Barça wins with 2 goals.
Messi out just leaves 5 world class players in Barcelona's front 6... Although I don't think this will be a 7-1, and I doubt it would've been even with Messi in the team, but I do think Barcelona will win. Their defence was undone by Celta and I'm sure Leverkusen will have studied the tape but ultimately it depends how well their midfield plays to whether Bayer stand a chance or not. I say not, 3-0 Barcelona Suarez MotM.
it will most likely be a hard-fought game for barca maybe a 1-0 or 2-1 neymar to score
This will be a weird game. We will see Ter Stegen in both goals and conceding many
Messi injured even things out so it wont be 1 sided
maybe 2-0 for Barcelona, Neymar and Suarez to score.
Messiless Barcelona with a shaky defence, what a nice time to bank on 12 and GG option? I knw Bayer can score irrespective of the outcome.
Without messi , opposition will have more plans and scrutinize other areas to efficiently stop us. We'll be lucky to win or draw. I hope Neymar and suarez step up.
even without Messi, Barça will win easy
@jonah i doubt
Without Messi things can get harder but Barcelona plays at home and still very favourite.
No Messi.. well lets ee what happens. All the best Barca
Messi out,barca not in form,2-1 for leverkusen
Considering the recent form of Messi, he may again smash Bayer 5 goals ;)
Barca 4-1 Leverkusen
@luckroth too early predicted
@luckroth nope.
