Feel sorry for Bale ? You mean the almost great left back that got overhyped and now is ridiculously overpaid for no reason ? Yeah he is totally fine. I pity the team that is dumb enough to give him(and his former team) so much money.

Wow, Llorente could really have made this worse for Real in the end. As it is, they are still in a decent position.

I have no idea why he didn't get a yellow. But it's never a red of course.

Maybe referee thought Tevez was never in a position to score.

Yeah I think so aswell, it never was a red and he probably thought that the penalty was enough of a punishment. I agree with that. A penalty doesn't automatically have to be a caution for me. And if you look at the replay I think he catches the ball, not enough that it matters but if he had really caught it that would have been a close call with which contact came first.

I think they will have more of the ball than Barcelona thats for sure.
Plus that Bayern team is hardly shit is it lol, i mean the front 3 would walk into any team in the game, the midfield 3 are still great footballers and the back 4 isn't exactly bad especially when you see the back 4 of the other team
So i think this is going to be alot closer and could come down to how much Pep knows how to beat Barca which im sure he has a good plan.

Yeah, that Sturaro deflection is insane. Thought James completely fucked the header, but it looks like it would have gone in.

Pep teams (Barça and Bayern) have not had under 50% ball possesion a single time in 349 games lol

Same goes for Luis Enrique this Barça year.

So unless it's perfect 50/50, today one of them will end his record

I think Bayern will have more possession. Barcelona with Luis Enrique is not so great at possesion like with Pep/Tito. That is mainly because Xavi is not a starter anymore, and Iniesta is not so good now..

But, they play better vertical play, counter attacks, set pieces with Raikitic and Suarez. And Messi is awesome because he can score and he can be a xavi-like playmaker at the same time, and that is awesome.

Without Robben, Bayern's attack isn't that scary (for top tier teams) and Barça's defense has been great until now. I think Barça players will have that boost of motivation to play against Guardiola, and I'm going for a 3-1 if not more.

Heres a question since I feel like there seems to be some misconception here. What is it exactly that is so bad about Barcelona's back 4 ? Aside from an obvious weakness at set pieces (which is more team defending than just your back 4) I cant see anything terribly wrong. Its certainly not weaker than Bayerns back 4.

Pique's lack of pace, Mascherano not a centre back. Wingbacks are way too far forward all the time leaving exposure to the two centre backs and busquets who has lost pace.
The reason they dont concede much is due to having the ball all the time and not being pressured at all. Tonight they will get pressured and you shall see the fragilities. They never look like keeping a clean sheet vs PSG/Real Madrid/Man City there only tough games this season.

Pique has actually looked pretty good. John Terry lacks pace. He had the best year of his life. Pique didnt have pace when he was amongst the best in the world and he didnt have pace when he was sucking. So the pace argument fails. I agree Masch isnt a CB. Busquets also never relied on pace nor does he have any now. Wingbacks have been reigned in quite heavily actually for bigger games compared to what they do normally.

This isnt Guardiola barca that sends the entire team past the half. This one tends to sit back and let Messi make the play from deep.

Not sure what you are watching again. Usually in your case its mostly confirmation bias so never mind.

Also they have played plenty of tougher games than the PSG City games. You just cant appreciate it because you dont watch the league and dont really understand quality beyond kick and rush.

Just last week Seville had real on the ropes like you wouldnt believe. Real kicked,scraped and Ronaldoed their way to the win.

Honestly I personally have no idea how this game will play out. Usually I know what to expect but here I dont know what to expect at all. Too many variables, although Barcelona on paper should have an advantage.
