It felt like they started off as a 4-3-3 but I'll need to watch again. I do think they reverted to a 4-4-2 once Paulinho came on.

The issue with Dembele is that he leaves a lot of space behind him since he's so new but his tackl eon Alonso was incredible.

Barca played:

Ter Steven

Roberto Piqué Um i Alba

Dembele Rakitic Busquets Iniesta

Messi Suárez

Just think of this: if they played 4-3-3, who played as a left winger? Messi and Suárez certainly didn't.

What do you make of Barca's chances against Man City if they were to play each other in CL?

Just like with PSG, I can't take City for real until they prove they can knock a heavy hitter (Barca, Madrid, Bayern) out.

"1 cm"

Under the new rules that's a clear penalty, tbh.

Thegreat all over my as per usual.

[DAF86]

lol what a great goal

The first time I see him do that without failing comically. Props, tbh.

[DAF86]

Dybala. The next great Argie saviour.

Pablo Aimar wannabe.

[spursistan]

Long Naldo swinging his in Champions league playoffs..Nothing to see

[lefty]

I'm miiiiing

[140]

My goodness.

[spursistan]

The only team that can deny Madrid the CL threepeat are Barcelona...And that will have to be over two legs in the Semis..

This Madrid side is just too clutch and too poised for the rest...Juventus are made to look like the shook pretenders they are..

[TheGreatYacht]

Greatest goal I've ever seen. We don't deserve GOD

New rules

He had no time to move away but even in that short timespan he tried to pull his hand away. In the first half there was a more clear penalty against Carvajal.

Please UEFA don't be so gay and give us our Barcelona-Madrid final.

[spursistan]

I'm neutral, but lol @ Missy fans that keep predicting this 's demise (DAF and Amused )

[Canyonero]

Also gots who question La Liga's quality. "b-b-but only Barca and Madrid win "

[resistanze]

Never seen two players at the same time in football history this great for this long tbh

[lefty]

Never seen two players at the same time in football history this great for this long tbh

1st time in football history we have such a rivalry at the same time tbh.
And they are playing for historical rival clubs, so it's pretty much like Bird vs Magic (insert gay joke here), Celtics vs Lakers

[Bynumite]

That elevation and power behind a bicycle kick Midget can't even do that on his playstation against his kid, let alone on the pitch.

Big Game Naldo with another playoff performance for the ages reminiscent of a young Jordan circa 92. Even Juve fans had to applaud and recognize greatness personified

Yeah, they're quite pathetic, i know.

They've been praying for PLAYOFFnaldo's downfall for years and he just keeps ringing and putting up monster numbers in the playoffs.

Everyone knows real superstars and contenders peak in the playoffs, not in November
