Could be a blessing in disguise for Liverpool. Will let them solely focus on a PL push.

Still I think they got a bit over-confident having beat Chelsea twice this year and being 1-0 up so soon. Conceding two goals from corners like they did is -___-

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Chelsea win after last year's shenanigans.

For posterity:

As a Man Utd fan I am so glad Barca are not on our side of the bracket...I don't think ANY team could stand up to that first half performance. Messi is a monster.

I have to disagree. Bayern played absolutely horrible. This match is not suited to determine Barcelona's true strength. Bayern's actual defense was all injured, so they had to put in the reserve players who just can't deal with someone like Messi or Eto'o. A team with a stronger defense (Chelsea comes to mind) would certainly fare a lot better. That being said, I really hope Hoeness gives Klinsmann the boot, this guy isn't much of a coach anyways..

the Liverpool -Chelsea game was exciting too watch, very fast paced, and the Barca game was just a one sided rape, but a beautiful one sided -rape.
Barca will win the CL this year, i don't see any english team beating them. i just hope Messi doesn't get injured.

I think ManU can win it, but they have to figure out a way to get forward without overly exposing themselves to the counter. Porto showed some really sick countering.

One thing I didn't understand was having Giggs take the freekick opportunity at the end of the game. How do you not have Ronaldo take that?


you shouldnt be breaking a bad game into separate episodes where one team could get the upper hand accidentally. Giggs was a good call since thats probably not what goalie was expecting and ronaldo was having a bad game to begin with. MU never deserved to win that game, esp seeing the first half. What seemed to be constant pressure in the second was Porto giving up the initiative. Their players got really tired after playing pressing for 30 minutes. You can notice how Porto had about 35% ball possession first half but took 3-4 times more shots on goal, which means they had to do a lot of running around trying to set up a counter
overall a strategical win for Porto hands down, MU looked godawful
that doesnt mean they got a "slim" chance to advance, thats just careless thing to say. MU can come out and win 3-0 and no one will be surprised.


Yeah, I agree. When I said I think they can win it, I was referring to the 2nd leg. You're right that MU didn't deserve to win that game.


totally man, you make good points, i just responded to giggs taking a free kick and then started going about the game
i've seen someone say that game was nice but MU got tiny chances and kind of responded alltogether
im going to watch barcelona atm, its late but barca vs bayern is classic
Can someone ban this guy please? FA?

I say Chelsea takes the CL at least.

ya phil i guess it's not that uncommon of an occurrence, was just annoyed because i like both barca and hiddink^^ i was thinking since way back that the only team that could stop barca this year was chelsea.

Barça is not only Messi as it wasn't only Ronaldinho. Barça is Xavi and Iniesta dominating in the middlefield and creating football with every combination. Then you add top strikers as Messi or Eto'o and you get the deadly combo, but IMO, Xavi and Iniesta are more important. If they are out I'm sure Messi can't win in his own.
I've been around since it all started, and it feels good

Unless u didnt realize it: Barca is that amazing because of MANY gamers..

Henry,Messi, Xavi, Iniesta..

but Alves is awesome as well..

Puyol.. their defense. .Toure..

the list goes on.. no single weak player..

+ their passing culture and their short pass game is just totally nuts..

Wow, it was really painful to watch Bayern completely get outclassed. At points it looked like a world-class team playing a third rate opponent...

Valdés. Spanish Football Federation does not allow Barsa to sign a real goalkeeper because if Barsa doesn't concede any goals they will lose lots of money in sponsorship.

Well, to withstand Barcas onslaught you need a world class defense, while the defense is Bayerns weakest point even without injuries. Additionally the team seems totally out of control, losing 1-5 to Wolfsburg is more proof of that.

are you talking about this thread on that site ( http://forum.rojadirecta.org/viewtopic.php?t=62322&sid=cb449aa203a5636f3ed42bb655c09577 ) ? It requires registration to see, but if I do I can re watch any match?
