It was an awful first 10 minutes. It's been better since, but you can't play like that to start.

A great comeback in the end, although it was unfortunate that De Gea made that superb save to deny Mata's winner.

Woah, Liverpool beat Spurs

I can safely say, we are gonna go unbeaten in the last 9 games

Preview, I guess.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Some people have argued that if you have more scoring opportunities (which Milan did) than the opposing team, you didn't really park the bus.

However, I would expect a real parking of the bus today.

For all so many of us have picked Milan to progress, Milan was up 4-0 after the San Siro and lost 3-0 at Arsenal last season and Arsenal could've won that match.

 

[kakashi919]

I predict a 2-1 win for Barca but Milan still going through

Barca at it early. Milan was lucky that wasn't called.

Lol, this could and maybe should be 3-0 already

Dear god, did Milan catch their flight?


Hey Omar, how do you feel about Valdes being linked to Arsenal?

 

[Imperium]

I like chesny but he's been injured a decent amount this season. I think he will grow to be a beast, but more importantly he needs someone to at least challenge him for the spot. Valdes would be expect to be first choice, he still has 6-8 years at the top of the game left in him. I dont mind seeing him come as I think it would push szcezesny to the next level. The best scenario from that would be Valdes coming and szczesny stepping up his game and keeping him out of the starting lineup. The cost of having an expensive number 2 would then come into the equation. It not exactly a win-win situation but if it will improvesthat position and the funds I think are available, why not?

Milan have been awful today. Poor passing, no clearing, everything. Barca should've had a penalty already.

Szczesny got benched for the match away to Bayern tomorrow.

So now penalties are being called. I was wondering if the ref was feeling sorry for Milan or something...

 

[Imperium]

Szczesny got benched for the match away to Bayern tomorrow.

I know. It's being considered a wake-up call to him, he's been in/out of form lately. The official reason is he is being "rested". But we had no games this weekend so what he needs that long of a rest for is anyone guess. Fabianski is replacing him, but Fabianski has not played once this season. It smacks of Wenger giving up the game to be honest and trying to point out to Szcezesny that his position isnt as secure as he thinks (it obviously is, fabianski is hopeless).

 

[FrostyMouse]

Niang unbelievably misses and then Messi equalizes on aggregate.

 

[xi0]

I wonder who'll be doing the bus parking in the second half of this one...

 

[FrostyMouse]

3-0 Barca now, so barring an away goal, it is over. Even an away goal may not save you now as Barca look like they can easily score a fourth.

Fuck this.

 

[xi0]

The game could have been worse for Milan really. Surprised they no-showed, but they were completely outclassed and no one can blame the officials for it. Oh well.

 

[kakashi919]

Well that was kind of disappointing.... oh well. I just might get what I wanted, Juve to draw Barca for the quarters Though I have a feeling we will get Madrid :/

 

[Imperium]

Knowing our luck, Arsenal will get Barca in the next round.

What next round?

 

[Imperium]

Dont worry, we are just giving Bayern a false sense of security. It's like 1942, shits about to turn around kakashi-kun.

As much as I'm hoping Arsenal make a come back, I just can't really see it. Hopefully though, they can do another "comeback" like they did against Milan last season. Then Juve wouldn't have to face Munich
