Now that they have awakened I want them to face Real in the quarters.

bunch of midgets defending, what you expect?

Pretty much, I knew they could make it happen, I was jumping and screaming when the referee blew the whistle.
Barca became the first Champions League side EVER to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit.
BARCAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Was pleased to see the old winning formula of Xavi-Serigo-Iniesta, Messi-Villa-Pedro of 2 seasons ago.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.
yeah,I could give 2 s 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.
isnt cesc and alexis both bought out higher than villa to come to barca?....
I was almost right TBH
lol Real is not Milan
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
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.
In the aftermath of Milan's first-leg 2-0 win, Xavi attempted to put on what seemed like nothing more than a brave face when he said, “The one thing that is missing for this generation of players is a historic comeback.”
Are you ing serious ?
If they meet again Barca will play with a whole different level of desperation after what happened in the last two clasicos and if o 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.
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.

Yeah this is how I see it, when Barcelona is playing at their best they're simply unbeatable, the times you've seen Madrid beat Barcelona are the times when their either 1) Not playing at their best or 2) Barcelona has missed those easy gimmes they've had. If Barcelona plays like they played against Milan is they control their destiny.
GALATASARAY ING THE WORLD AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. SORRY SCHALKE PRINCESS in ANOTHER CASTLE
The parking the bus strategy vs Barca works if you have good CB's
But Milan's CBs are
