Barca dressing room after Chelsea 2-2

[Chelsea? 892]

That's what a winner looks when it loses. Hopefully we look like that after big loses.

why are they so pissed off ???? they got a draw

Because it wasn't 0-0 which is the only draw that counts!

Was probably what our dressing room was like in 2009. What goes around...

What a wonderful sight, not as good as Lamps lifting "Big Ears" but still one to be seen though.

I wish most of our players cared enough to look like that after a defeat

I'm pretty sure you could get pics like that from the finale against United or the Barca match with Ovrebo, although the latter one might be full of people destroying stuff more than sitting down and hating football.

At least we know two do:

The passion of the game still exists.. It's kind of refreshing to see that.

They will never feel half the pain we felt in 2009. Cunts.

[Ollie 4,400]

It's just nice to know that that is FC Barcelona, the greatest team ever with the greatest player ever (possibly) and WE did that to them. Just knowing that was caused by US feels so fucking good. There's nothing sweeter in the whole world than revenge.

The right attitude. The attitude that should exist in the dressing room of a big club, even though their commitment fell away towards the end of Pep's reign, that they react like that to a defeat is the character of true champions. Their reaction this season has been the perfect response, the football they produced last night was something from an entirely different planet and was as good as they have been in a long time, their hunger back, a point to prove, this group of players have stepped up and are producing the goods once again. Champions to the core and it will take something truly remarkable to stop them winning the Champions League this season.

I think the current Dortmund form might be that kind of remarkable. That would be such a fantastic match, even as a neutral. They should be able to beat most of the other european league champions in their current form though, especially this mediocre (which is still pretty good don't get me wrong) Madrid. That being said, if more teams play to their weakness like Celtic or we did last season, I don't know if they can innovate enough to crack it. They're still playing tiki-taka, and not always better than before. Though I also don't know if any current team is desperate enough about their current position in the CL to bring that bus on.

Leo Messi: "There are players here who hate Chelsea more than Real Madrid, I never thought I would hear myself say that."

"I also never thought I would see something worse than the Boca and River Plate rivalry or Brazil v Argentina - but this is.

"We would rather play Arsenal, Manchester United or anyone else than be on the pitch with Chelsea."

Hehe.

Hahaha, Hope it hurt them. They were like this, after we eliminated them fair and square. A solid team performance...

They eliminated us in 2009 by a scabby last-minute goal, after we'd had several obvious penalty's turned down.. Just imagine what our changing room was like back then!

I have to say I'm surprised at the amount of spite aimed at the Barca team by some of the 'supporters' in this thread. Or maybe I'm not.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for that Barcelona team, as I do for most of our opponents. Seeing them devastated isn't something that I get off on particularly. I tend to focus on the joy of my own players and support.

Yes I realise I'm no my high horse and all that, but this type of spite and schadenfreude isn't a quality I particularly like. Sorry about the tiny rant but I honestly don't think it reflects well on this club and I hate it when other fans use that picture of John Terry in tears after the CL Final to attack him and us. Giving a shit about your badge is what makes football great.
