@GioMonaldo It's certainly a law of nature if you compare the squads. Every decent player in offence is either sold, given away or injured.
So what can Koeman do, if he has only Depay ?
@jandold The first one against Lewandowski was certainly a pen. Every pen that Sterling ever received was less than that. It didn't matter though since Barca is dead anyway.
@fervour21 There is a home page issue in that the 'Top Match Star' doesn't show until a top match kicks off. We hope to rectify this soon, but is a low priority at this time. To avoid further confusion, that 'Top Match Star' does show on the Live Scores page, while all top matches appear on the Top Match Slider on the home page. Hope this helps!
0-4 Compared to last time, Barca squad looks a lot weaker without Messi, Suarez, Griezmann. Bayern squad even stronger. Upamecano-Hernandez pairing huge upgrade and no real injury issues. Also almost no one with form issues.
@BEE10 I think they'll give him a pass for this one. The 8-2 was only 13 months ago, they lost their best players in the meantime and they'll advance anyway
"the greater strength in depth, Bayern" really??? Have you looked at their bench???? Say Lewandowski gets injured - there is no one to replace him, only the likes of Chupo Moting's. Bayern has no depth whatsoever on the bench, especially in the attacking third!
@Zoltan Well you have Lewandowsi, Muller, Gnabry, Sane, Musiala, Coman, Sabitzer, ECM, Tolisso. Bayern fans are used to worse and it might be as good as it can get these days. Not sure any non-plastic club has better options right now.
@Zoltan they didn't say that Bayern has great strength in depth. They only said that they have more depth than Barcelona. And that happens to be true at the moment.
Barca failed to record a single shot on target for the first time ever in their history in the CL.
Depay has 0 shot lols
@congthanhgiong He had a few bad crosses and passes though
The looks in the faces of the Barca players on their way back to the locker room told it all. This club is toast for years to come.
@BeautifulLoser Don't insult toast like that!
@uefalona Real will follow, eventually. The perks of bad management.
de jong replaced messi lool
Barca new AC Milan, bum team
Ronald Koeman is the worst.
looool
So Koeman should be packing his shit right about now... or will Laporta let him stay until after the second leg in Munich?
@GioMonaldo what would another coach do with that babies? Even Mighty Nevio Scala would have been hopeless.
@koziol.mutant a competent coach wouldn't play babies DUH!
DAMN.... Barca's defense is very strong. can withstand the onslaught of bayern attacks
Lewandowski is not human.
48% possession and ZERO shots on goal in a home match. The new Barcelona ..
This was so obvious
Ok Koeman, Pique, Ter Stegen, thank you and goodbye.
Perfect! Barca zero shots on target. Well done, Bayern defence!
Barca have filled the Messi-shaped void with Luuk De Jong and some unknown kids
4 U18 Barca players on the pitch right now, cool
Koeman the clown with his selections and tactics yet again.
@Rensen It's not his fault that Barca is so much weaker than Bayern. They are the underdogs and doing ok actually. Should be 0-4 by now.
@neumi17 Barca is much weaker BECAUSE of Koeman, not bc it's some law of nature that Barca is always weaker than Bayern.
@GioMonaldo It's certainly a law of nature if you compare the squads. Every decent player in offence is either sold, given away or injured. So what can Koeman do, if he has only Depay ?
Barca are a joke lol
2 missed penalties, english refs terrible as usual
@fervour21 Lewandowski himself said that the one from 10th minute wasn't a penalty in his opinion.
@fervour21 You actually think those were penalties... dear lord
@jandold The first one against Lewandowski was certainly a pen. Every pen that Sterling ever received was less than that. It didn't matter though since Barca is dead anyway.
@jandold Last time I checked the rulebook it didn't allow defenders to shove the attackers full strength into the ground
Bayern could have had 2 penalties already, but not like anyone expected good refereeing from Michael Oliver
Busquets and alba worst passers on the field ha ha..
LMAO Young Boys Man Utd gets a Top Match star but Barcelona Bayern doesn't? At least you were sensible enough to give this match a match center.
@fervour21 ey? this match does have a top match star
@WilliePete At the time of my comment only Man Utd match had a top match star.
@fervour21 There is a home page issue in that the 'Top Match Star' doesn't show until a top match kicks off. We hope to rectify this soon, but is a low priority at this time. To avoid further confusion, that 'Top Match Star' does show on the Live Scores page, while all top matches appear on the Top Match Slider on the home page. Hope this helps!
Bayern to win at such high odds against this Barcelona team is interesting . They should be too good here
2-8
Musiala to outdribble the entire Barcelona team and receiving standing ovations for it.
0-4 Compared to last time, Barca squad looks a lot weaker without Messi, Suarez, Griezmann. Bayern squad even stronger. Upamecano-Hernandez pairing huge upgrade and no real injury issues. Also almost no one with form issues.
That Barça attack is really weakened, no Aguero, dembele, ansu fati.They should still be able to score but Bayern will put 3 past them.
Bayern odds are lower than against Leipzig this weekend, that says all. Bayern to win and score at least 2 goals
A win here an in el classicos will decide koemans future ..also i think koeman claims to believe in the youth because they are easier to manipulate
@BEE10 I think they'll give him a pass for this one. The 8-2 was only 13 months ago, they lost their best players in the meantime and they'll advance anyway
Barcelona win or draw.
@splint3r I don't think this. Barca lose again and Bayern will win or maybe maybe draw.
Over 3.5 goals.
"the greater strength in depth, Bayern" really??? Have you looked at their bench???? Say Lewandowski gets injured - there is no one to replace him, only the likes of Chupo Moting's. Bayern has no depth whatsoever on the bench, especially in the attacking third!
@Zoltan Bayern has 7-9 players who can make a difference in the final third. How many does Barca have ?
@Zoltan Well you have Lewandowsi, Muller, Gnabry, Sane, Musiala, Coman, Sabitzer, ECM, Tolisso. Bayern fans are used to worse and it might be as good as it can get these days. Not sure any non-plastic club has better options right now.
@alx30 You actually used the "plastic" thing. You are not simply an idiot, but worse than that.
@Zoltan they didn't say that Bayern has great strength in depth. They only said that they have more depth than Barcelona. And that happens to be true at the moment.
@Zoltan Bayern might not have that strong depth, but their starting 11 are one of the bests itw atm.
@Zoltan Moting is very good striker indeed. For wingers, they have 2 healthy pairs: Sane + Gnabry or Musiala + Coman
1 - 2
Bayern to score in both halfs
2-8.
@Moriniq domt even bro:)
Over 2.5 goals
1-3
