The board have been a shambles for years and they want to wait ANOTHER year till the elections come around before attempting to fix this shit show.

So much is wrong with the club, it's untrue.

Whenever people think or say we have the worst board in the world, just point at Barcelona.

When we blew it in the semi against Monaco and when even Morrientes admitted that what ultimately proved the winning goal should not have stood. It's arguable of course that Jose's Porto would have beaten us in the final anyway, but it's impossible to escape the feeling that we missed a big opportunity that year.

Not really surprised with the results, Barca is such a bad team. They are a porous and old team plastered with messi bandage.

Team has been created around him. I assume a lot of younger hungrier players will step up once he is gone.  

Not sure that is true.

Is this the best Bayern side since 2013

They always do best with German managers.This is best Bayern since Heynckes. Pep and Carlo were not on this level and they always failed in CL.

Barca spent around £363 million on their three most expensive recruits - among the top six biggest ever. One started on the bench (Griezmann), the other never came off it (Dembele) and their biggest outlay (Coutinho) got an assist and two goals against them as a loanee..... what a Sad Ending for messi last night.....

Doubt it but I'd like CL to keep this format and put all matches after the group stage at the end of the season instead of arranged during the whole season.

11 fouls for Leipzig in the first half. One thing Lamps should consider is to use tactical fouling more if he's so intent on attacking football and leaving the defense exposed.

Exactly. The tactics put up by the coach can protect the defense, Pressing traps/high pressing, Tactical fouls. Chelsea have to do far better at this if we want to sustain attacking football, it cant work without pressing and Tactical fouls. The Bayern destruction of Barcelona proved that Attack mostly wins over defense. Once we get finishers and good decision makers upfront, then we can focus on proper wingbacks like Alphonso Davies to provide Speed on the flanks in attack. Not the slow combo of Alonso and Azpi we currently have. 

Once your attack is dangerous, no one will attack your defense carelessly out of fear of being hit at the back.

German is just a stonking blockbuster of a language. The vocabulary is out of this world. 🙂

Opps @Rapkun is revealing nagelsman secret. I hate team who do tactical fouling too often and Leipzig defense depend heavily on tactical fouling. If you get "bad" referee, it is golden but if you get good referee, you are pretty much red card waiting to happen.

Maybe we didnt do that badly vs BM, this was a lesson they gave Barca, though this Barca is proper fucked and a manager that is not good enough at this level. They are in deep shit with a squad deeply out of balance.

I hope BM wrecks these City cheaters, a lesson they wont soon forget. Fuck psg and city.

don't know how to post tweet, by this is hilarious.

If Coutinho wins the Champions League with Bayern Munich, Barcelona will have to pay €5m to Liverpool. You read that right.
