Classy Barcelona.

Unsporting Barcelona continuing with the game when Juventus player is down.

 

[JeffBoomTetris]

Messi has created 2 clear cut chances now. Not his fault that Iniesta and Suarez are in Higuain mode

 

[Scarecrow]

Higuain putting his fat arse into use, finally.

 

[Snow]

Should have been 4-0 now. Not offside.

 

[JuveGER]

We are struggling now.

 

[Stadjer]

Not even offside.. barca very lucky

 

[Massive Spanner]

Shocking decision. Should be 4.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Lemina on for Cuadrado. Guess Juventus are switching to a 4-3-3 now.

 

[Chip]

Higuain cost pretty close to what Pogba did...

And? Higuain cost the same as Pogba.

Higuain cost €90 million and Pjanic cost €32 million = €122 million. Pogba cost €110 million. So not really that big of a difference. But yeah, we can agree that both Pogba and Higuain are ridiculously overpriced Higuain has been miles better than Pogba this season though - even though, I know they play very different positions. And we could surely use both him and Zlatan against most PL sides - especially all those draws at home.

And I'm not anti Pogba - quite the opposite.

 

[Hojoon]

Not offside

 

[fellaini's barber]

Andre Gomes is Barca's Fellaini

 

[KM]

As bad as Barcelona have been, they have still created two clear cut chances which should have been put away.

 

[Carolina Red]

Khedira was NOT offside

 

[Fenomeno9]

Unsporting Barcelona continuing with the game when Juventus player is down.

They don't have to stop. It's up to the ref.

 

[JustFootballFan]

Well that makes up for the penalty should have been the 4th goal.

 

[VorZakone]

Andre Gomes is a parody.

 

[GifLord]

Barca chance - Chiellini handball

 

[SkeppyRed]

This type of atmosphere you do. Not saying that you can't create good atmosphere in England (you can see it for example in the 7-1 against Roma nostalgic videos in the last few days in the forum) but it's different from the type Italian, German or Portuguese ultras do. You do have Chelsea's plastic flag thingy though.

It's different il give you that. English grounds have been diluted by tourists/prices/health and safety also. But Old Trafford in the past has created atmospheres far greater than this Juve one tonight, which does sound great.

 

[Zoo]

Very uncool from Khedira.

 

[devil in me]

Unsporting Barcelona continuing with the game when Juventus player is down.

Dont put the ball out unless the ref stops the game. Players cant go rolling around on the floor and expect the ball to be put out.

 

[FreakyJim]

Just introduce offside technology. It'll remove two useless refs.

 

[harshad]

ha ha ha

 

[AndyJ1985]

What Barcelona lack is a decent squad player like Lingard to bring off the bench.

 

[kouroux]

Mandzukic is brilliant tbh.

 

[black_crow]

What is going on?

Barcelona should have been 4:0 down. Weird yellow cards.

 

[Ishdalar]

It is stupid

Pique-Mandzukic, Umtiti-Chiellini, Suarez-Bonucci and Mascherano-Higuain should be the pairs there, with Gomes doubling one of Mandzu/Chiellini

Anyway, the only way Mascherano wins those aerial duels on set pieces is doing penalties, but he constantly gets away with it

 

[Carolina Red]

Khedira yellow for diving... wtf

 

[Ole90+3]

I have never been to a single game. Sorry if I have offended matching going fans. Even our away fans have been noisier and more active this season. I think the energy translates on to the players. It can only help the homeside.

CL Knockout games at Old Trafford are usually rocking. If you are using home league games for your basis of OT atmosphere then you need to compare that against Juve's home league game as well. They are no where near as noisy as this.

 

[VorZakone]

Signs of ageing for Suarez? These physical declines can come fast.

 

[Moonred]

They don't have to stop. It's up to the ref.

That's why it's 'unsporting'.

 

[ivaldo]

I love watching Barca get dismantled. More than a club.

 

[Snow]

Well that makes up for the penalty should have been the 4th goal.

Juventus should have had a penalty a minuted earlier. Juventus scored a goal, wrongfully taken off them. Barca might have gotten a penalty (so should Juve) but that doesn't guarantee a goal. Nothing was made up here.

 

[The_Midfielder]

Looks like Barca do not press, as they used to do before...

 

[Kevin]

They so scared of Messi. He gave them two heart attacks even with three around.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Barca chance - Chiellini handball

It looked a stonewall penalty.

 

[JustFootballFan]

Higuain is pressing the space of a phone booth. He clearly saves himself for the attacks.

 

[ThomasEmil]

The refs not really handling the pressure very well

 

[Scarecrow]

That Alex Sandro is some player.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Suarez having a mare today.
