NiclasCFC 2,582 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Imagine 1 crap goal from a corner or a set piece from Milan in Barcelona and Barca will have to score 4 GOALS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes Milan did a better job than us. Though barca were shockingly awful. Also they have done it over 1 leg and we did it over 2 so that could be the real test for them. I expect barca to be a hell of a lot better and I reckon they will still qualify. But actually Milan did do a great job without doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azpinator 2,325 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Milan were better at home than we were, but still Barfa were way worse I mean they were awful tonight in every aspect and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of that. We were first to knock out their "wonder team" so I don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_President 404 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Can't wait for the return leg.. come on Milan. This Barca performance was pathetic really.. so static and they didn't really create any clear cut chances. Also wish Balotelli could play in the UCL for Milan.

Tiwaz 539 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Barca will most definitely have a hard time in the 2nd leg IMO. Right before the 2nd leg they'll face Real Madrid 2 times in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankit 3,176 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Couldnt watch the game yesterday, but it sounds sweet to read the scoreline, especially the fact that some decision went against Barca in Europe.Also it's clear now, If you don't drop your pants like Yanited, anyone can beat Barca.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Bleh hope Madrid trash United.Some of their fans have forgotten that even though Barca lost they themselves aint through and still teams that can knock them out etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,957 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 No one will sue anyone okay? It's my name so my rights, understand? After seeing the replay of @milan.cech's ( ) first goal. And I have to say the ref was spot on. The ball took a deflection at a very high speed 1 meter from Zapata. Never a hand ball.YESSSSS get in Milan. Lovely, I have to enjoy this!

Jase 43,479 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 But it is exactly because of that.I am not taking anything away from Milan, they were fantastic. However, Barcelona has been constant suffering in Liga BBVA because their defence is shit; they are always in need to turn things around. Also, Pep's team had amazing movement and even with that they lost to us. Take that movement away and you get no infiltration. Add all of that to a totally forgetable day for Messi and you have Milan 2-0!I agree Milan did a better job than we did (our game was an exam for heart attack), but the Catalunians had a major blame... Yes, Guardiola's Barcelona had amazing movement but that's kinda like the basic aspect that every team should have, no? Regardless of the team, if you don't offer movements going forward, you're not going to penetrate the opposition. Barca may have an off day of sorts but Milan made it very difficult for them to penetrate by remaining discipline, tight and compact. They denied them the space in which Barcelona likes to play in.

Look at us, we have been lacking proper movement since Carlo's first season and no manager has yet been able to fix that. Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at us, we have been lacking proper movement since Carlo's first season and no manager has yet been able to fix that. By basics, I meant teams aren't going to penetrate and score if their attacking players don't offer movement going forward. Doesn't have to move all over the pitch like Barcelona do.As for us, yes, it is a problem with us right now. Though some things have to be pointed out. Things went stale under Ancelotti in his second season. AVB arguably tried to implement the movement etc but didn't have the right players to do so. We saw those attacking movements under RDM earlier this season but backfired in other areas. Under Benitez, not so much movement that is partly down to his style of play implemented on the team and the fact that his main focus is always remaining solid and organized defensively more than anything else.
