Why would it be much better when they sucked at 11v10 during 90min? And psg last 4 games vs Barca were pretty good. (+ they're actually trying to play football when they play a big club) Or are you only caring about Mourinho-fueled drama and not football? | ||

There is a difference between trying to play football vs Barcelona and trying to beat them. You want to go and "play football" vs Barcelona carry on all it does is mean you will lose 4-2 5-3 kind of score. You play counter attack with a sured up defense capitalizing on set pieces and you will have more than a good time vs Barcelona. So maybe he is a Chelsea fan posting that as he knows we would probably beat Barca and maybe he dislikes them, but we will never know so ....not this season anyway.PSG games vs Barca were only good in group stage because didn't mean as much. Proven so when Barca still finished top. | ||

And it's ridiculous to say that Chlesea are the onle team able to dismantle Barca when the only team who dismantled Barca was a Bayern playing some excellent football overall, including really good possession football in 2013. this is dismantling: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/22254778 http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2013/matches/round=2000350/match=2009610/postmatch/report/ On March 20 2015 23:21 jxx wrote: Holy wishful thinking batman I think Monaco takes Juve actually.

We will see what happens, but im going to "assume" PSG go to Nou camp and get dismantled again and if they win at home it wont be without conceding thus making the task even harder. | ||

If that player isn't playing or is injured whilst playing it is not against Barcelona.

I personnaly think PSG is gonna get bullied really hard, especially with Verrati suspended in the home leg, this kid is exactly the kind of player you want versus Barca. But Chelsea wouldn't do a lot better since your counter attack play is just "let's pray hazard pulls off a miracle" in 2015, which is kind of a shame since your first part of the season was exceptionnal both in terms of results and display on the pitch. Bayern is the only side on the level of Barcelona atm, the good thing is that quarters are in 1 month so who knows what can happen. And funnily enough you dodge the Chelsea only team able to dismantle Barca part :D | ||

Our record vs Barcelona is pretty oustanding in history; 15Games Played 5Wins(Chelsea) 5(Draws) 5Wins(Barca) 20Goals(Chelsea) 25Goals(Barca) That spams all the champions league games including out 2000/2001 series, for a defensive team scoring 20 goals in 15 games vs Barca not bad  | ||

I wonder which team has the best record against Barcelona tho outside of Madrid in Spain. | ||

Bayern beat Barca by letting them having possession. If you want to beat Barca, never try to beat them in their own game - won't work. | ||

Bayern is playing their strongest possession game ever, even stronger than last season or the treble season. (even though their play in 2013 was slightly stronger overall since they were stronger defensively.) meanwhile, barcelona's style has slightly shifted away from the extremely possession-based guardiola style. At the moment, I couldn't really predict what would happen in a barca vs bayern matchup. But keep in mind that there is nonetheless a lot of guardiola spirit in barca. If there is one coach on the planet who should know the weaknesses of this system in and out, its Pep. Yes, not the same barca as in 2011 anymore, but I still think this would mean a huge tactical advantage for bayern if they should face barca this season. Btw that semfinal series in 2013 shouldnt be emphasized too heavily. The strongest bayern team in history was facing barca at their weakest moment in half a decade. Oh, and messi was eating too much pizza back then XD" | ||

So I don't think Pep really knows the weaknesses of his system. | ||
