UEFA Champions League 2017-18

Chelsea vs Barca tonight.Reckon it'll be 1-1.

I’ll be in Barcelona during the return leg, may try to go if the aggregate score is still close. Feel like I should try to see Messi as often as I can these days.

Great for you.I heard that Camp Nou is just joy to watch game alive.Well,it should be close,don't think that Barca will finish all in first leg.

"World class striker" Giroud is on the bench tonight.

 

[<<reed>>]

Neither Giroud nor Morata is starting

They're showing old Chelsea/Barca games on my coverage. Those games 10-15 years ago were legendary. Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Puyol, Lampard, Terry etc. are iconic at their clubs. Teams had much more character then, you associated teams with certain individuals. Mourinho/Chelsea, Fergie/Utd, Rafa/Liverpool, Wenger/Arsenal obviously. The same with key loyal players who stayed at those clubs for a long time. Absurd amounts of money and expectation have killed that association between certain people/characters and clubs. It's rare that a manager or a top player would stay more than 3-4 seasons at a big club, outside of top players at the superclubs.

On another note, you'd have to think that Messi will finally score against Chelsea in the next two games.

Agreed.

I fear even the last statement above will prove to be false though.

I remember it used to be "Messi had never scored against Cech" until the latter joined Arsenal

 

[Windowlicker]

Leo is scoring tonight

 

[rich 1990]

Just think, this is could have been us about to go out.

 

[asukru]

Hoping Barca shred Chelsea and that Besiktas can cause an upset

I'm bullish on our EL chances this now that BVB have nose-dived and AC Milan haven't really materialized. So maybe next year?

If we don't win the EL, we're a write off.

 

[Furious]

MESSI MESSI MESSI

 

[rich 1990]

Still hate Busquets.

If we don't win the EL, we're a write off.

Agreed. There is really no excuse now (unless we end up with zero strikers by the time the games get tough).

 

[krengon]

Hazard's audition has started well.

 

[rich 1990]

Nothing more thrilling then watching a team passing it sideways

 

[CurryFlavoured]

**** sake Umtiti, Barca DNA.

 

[Camron]

Nothing more thrilling then watching a team passing it sideways

Nothing more trilling than watching a team that cost more than a small country's GDP sit with 10 men in their own box on their own ground.
