In fact he was the only United player to score in either game

This.

Also what if scenarios are retarted. Who's to say Cheech would've gotten those same looks? And lets not act like he doesn't or hasn't missed sitters/gimmies. Also don't understand why chicharito fans always hate on welbeck.. he's not the reason cheech is on the bench. RVP is.

Cheech's tally of game winning or point salvaging goals, in the few shots he has taken and given the quotaed amount of minutes he's had played say otherwise... Javier is a highly efficient player... And a good finisher in the box... Plus not having played over the weekend meant he had fresh legs... On that front alone, the decision to leave him on the bench was perplexing...

Was pleased to see the old winning formula of Xavi-Serigo-Iniesta, Messi-Villa-Pedro of 2 seasons ago. :tu Did not expect this to happen tbh.

I hope this is the way it stays for the remainder of the season, they lose too much fire power with Cesc or Alexis instead of Villa.

[ALVAREZ6]

I hope this is the way it stays for the remainder of the season, they lose too much fire power with Cesc or Alexis instead of Villa.
yeah,I could give 2 shits about Cesc or Alexis, both are overrated. Well, not Alexis anymore, because it's become clear he is a bum in any forward role. He could be good as a wide midfielder maybe. Let them play in La Liga, but if they want to seriously win the Champs League, they need to stick to what has proven to be successful.

[TDMVPDPOY]

And this Barca is not the same Barca from a couple weeks ago. The proof is in the total turnaround from that game in Milan and this one in Barcelona between the same teams.

But Madrid is still much better than Milan

[ALVAREZ6]

I'd still give Madrid a slight advantage over Barca simply because Barca's defense is horrible, and will always be exposed a couple times per game with their high back line supporting the offense, no team is better suited to take advantage of that than Madrid because they have a very fast counterattacking and super talented offense while also having a strong defense. Also, Madrid don't fear Barca, as they shouldn't given the above. They know they can beat Barca, as they have.

If they meet again Barca will play with a whole different level of desperation after what happened in the last two clasicos and if Tito and Roura finally realized that Villa needs to play for the team to be more direct they will play at their full potential and at their full potential Barcelona is still the best team in the World.

I hope you're right, but even if they play with extreme desperation, 90 minutes is always a lot of time for Madrid to score on that shaky Barca defense. The defense is good enough for winning la liga, but in the UEFA cup it's much tougher to get by. It puts a ton of pressure on the offense to get several goals, which is hard to do in every game against the best defenses. Converting on enough chances is partially a product of luck.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm regards to the parking the. Is strategy, I was shocked at how poorly they played D. I don't know if that first goal jarred them or what, but they were so sloppy.

Loved the result though.

If Barcelona plays like they played against Milan is they control their destiny.

Arsenal will score for 3-1 in 90th minute... and then Koscielny will score an own goal in the next minute. Cause that's how Arsenal roles... first they build up their fan's hopes and then they promptly crush them.

I don't log in every time the Lakers play, so why would i do that for Barca? I'll watch their games every now and then but tbh i couldn't care less about the result of Barca's games unless they're playing a team i support.

Bynumite, you discredit everything good Messi does... a disgrace of a fan you are. Now I know better to ignore your posts whenever you post, when a team and a certain player play an outstanding game the least you could you is give them props. Whatever not worth talking about.

[Bynumite]

I said good game midgets, i gave Barca props and out of nowhere barcafan gets mad for no reason.

The midget was great last season and i recognize that but i don't think he deserved to win the ballon d'or and i also pointed out how the midget failed to show up in big games since late last season until yesterday... that's all i had to say about the midget.

[symple19]

So I said 1 or 2 nil for Bayern? Just found out Fabianski is starting at Keeper... May I amend that to 8 or 9 nil? :lol Also, no Podolski or Sagna

This is Arsene "going for it?" :lmao

I may not even watch... :depressed

[resistanze]

[symple19]

...so who IS playing? WTF?

GK - Fabianski

Backline will probably be Gibbs/Jenks, Mert, Koscielny, Vermy

midfield will probably be Ramsey/Rosicky, Coquelin, Diaby

Front line likely to be Gervinho, Giroud, Ox/Arshavin

[Jodelo]

After 1 good game of Barca their fans want to face anybody because they "turned it around". Sounds like the Lakers. :lol

[lefty]

...so who IS playing? WTF?
Does it really matter ?

[symple19]

Does it really matter ?

not really

but here are the starters: Fabianski, Jenks, Mert, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey, Walcott, Giroud, Cazorla

[symple19]

Other than starting Fabianski, that's about the best that Wanger could do. Glad he didn't just throw in the towel (which is what starting that other lineup would've been

Who the hell can he bring off the bench, though? :lol

You don't want to face Juve do you? :lol

maybe no la liga team in the QF

Yeah, maybe. :lol

lol La Liga with three teams on the quarters of the CL.
lol people will keep saying that it's a shitty league no matter what
lol EPL with no teams on the quarters

People have to be careful about what criterias they use when it comes to decide what league is the best


I think people say the EPL is the best because it's - generally - more balanced than La Liga.

So, saying EPL is better than La Liga doesnt mean MU is better than Barca


One cant use a CL matchup to compare 2 domestic leagues; it just doesnt make sense
Too many factors, too many teams

And you also have to look at how those teams got there

Malaga beat Porto
RMAO beat Manchester United... they barely beat United

We can agree that MU is much better than Porto (dont get me wrong, Porto is a good team, but its not Manchester)

So if Malaga faced United ...... yikes
Then you wouldnt be saying " yeahhh who said EPL was better than La Liga ? u were so wrong lol !



And this is why I hate the CL format

Back in the days, each country only had 1 club in the CL, well, the actual domestic champion

It made more sense IMO

Malaga didn't face United 'cause they finished 1st in their group, something they shouldn't have been able to do according to you 'cause in your opinion every La Liga team outside of Barcelona and Madrid suck. :rolleyes

And you have to differentiate between being better and being more entertaining 'cause like I said many times, every league where Madrid and Barcelona play would be a "boring" two horse race.

What was Malaga's group ?

[DAF86]

You should know, tbh. It contained the third best team in Italy, another league you say is better than the Spanish one.

Which team ?

If Malaga played Juventus, they would have had their asses kicked

It goes back to what I said :
U cant compare 2 domestic leagues based on 1 matchup

Thank you for making my point

When the financial fair play rule kicks in and club actually have to run their clubs like businesses Bundesliga will take over as the best league.

[mudyez]

When the financial fair play rule kicks in and club actually have to run their clubs like businesses Bundesliga will take over as the best league.

Not sure about that. Its not like foreign clubs are that stupid.
The financial fairplay will give the Bundesliga an advantage for some time, because several spanish, english and especially italian teams lack the infrastructure, but...:
1) they will catch up and wont just sit there waiting for the punishments to kill their clubs.
2) clubs like Barca or Manu still have an advantage over most german clubs in terms of history, name and so on.

Dont get me wrong! the financial fairplay is a great thing for the Bundesliga and german teams in general, but dont expect the other leagues to go away just because of it!

BTW.: The financial fairplay allready is in place!

And i thought the "Best League"-Championship Belt was decided by that insane group with 4 champions in it :)...and BVB beat ManCity, Real and Ajax for it.

NO: As you said, its pretty hard to determine the best league. I think, we can all agree on EPL, LaL and BL as the top 3. The BL probably is the best balanced league of the three, with some good clubs at the top. they also have the advantage to be pretty healthy in terms of finances (no russian, arabian oweners). LaL is really really topheavy with 2 of the overall top clubs (but can you put Real over Munich?) but a lot of boring top vs bottom games. And the EPL probably is something in between, but some of the clubs seem to be bigger, than they really are (Liverpool, Arsenal,...) and there are a lot of financial questionmarks. They just have the advantage of pulling American fans in, coz of the langue und because MLS sucks.

Will all of that change over the next 10 years? I doubt it. Some of the top clubs will have to find new ways of building healthier structures. Their big names will help them doing so (pulling in young prospects...a great 18year old talent still will give ManU or Real a discount over a team like Freiburg or Bremen). In the end the EPL will still have the best name, die BL the best games and LaL the most CL/EL-hardware.

[quentin_compson]

Arsenal-Bayern was one of the worst games I've seen in quite a while. Both sides with lots of terrible passes and miscommunications and stuff like that. That Arsenal can play this poor and still win in Munich is insane. Based on yesterday's game, neither team deserved to move on to the next round.

Doesn't Bayern Munich have more than twice as many championships as any other Bundesliga team?

[velik_m]

Isn't Bayern something like 20pts clear of second place in BL?

[mudyez]

Isn't Bayern something like 20pts clear of second place in BL?

True, but BVB was champ the last two years (last year also the Cupwinner) and usually every team can beat every team in the BL (how often does Barca loose to a bootom-5 team?)...Duesburg also led two times last weak against Munich.
This season Munich is up and above everyone else, but its not like every year works out like that.

That said:
If you take the best 2 teams of every league, LaL has the best chances, but it wouldnt be suprising, if they didnt win (Barca is the fav with Real probably just beeing in the mix with teams like Munich, ManU,...).
If you take rank 3 to 7 its probably a tossup between EPL and BL.
And if you take the 8th-16th best team of every league, the BL clubs should come out on top.

Actually someone should do these 3 lists....I'm too lazy right now :)

Paris-Barca

Uh, wait...are this the real ones?

Bought!

Yup. Draw was today.

[mudyez]

nice ones...no inner-country-games...munich-juve as a classic and BVB with an easy draw (which in the end probably ist the worst, that can happen to them). the spanish teams hopefully kick the arses of their oponents.

[Jodelo]

Bayern-Juve will be nice.

Paris-Barca has the potential to be nice aswell, but not so sure about that!

[Venti Quattro]

Nacho Monreal and Santi Cazorla are already out of the Champions League. Meanwhile, Malaga are still in the Champions League.

:lmao Arsenal

[mudyez]

Bayern-Juve will be nice.

Paris-Barca has the potential to be nice aswell, but not so sure about that!

Yeah, its kind of a dream scenarion seeing Messi vs the PSG-defense.

You couldn't have booked the QF better IMHO.

[Relevancy]

We have some goodies their, Bayern vs Juventus and the Barsa vs Paris. I don't know about Paris, but since Ibra will be suspended for that game things will get easier for Barsa.

[resistanze]

Madrid-Istanbul
Paris-Barca
Bayern-Juventus
Dortmund-Malaga

[lefty]

Will Ibra miss the 1st leg vs Bartha?

Since he got a red card vs Valencia (1st leg, but a red card means he misses 2 games, or am I wrong? )

I can see PSG pulling an upset if their key players are on the field

[sonic21]

Ibra will miss the 1st game.Of course he sucks in elimination games, only scored 4 goals ( 3 gainst arsenal crappy defense)
