UEFA Champions League (Part 2)

The Cruyff Turn

Why only a yellow??

1596

Would we be disappointed if it was given against us?

1597

I think itā€™s a no double punishment thingie. In comparison, Man City didnā€™t qualify as that due to it being a goal line clearance.

1598

Iā€™d be disappointed in Bradley or Gomez if they did that and a pen was given for it, yes. :laughing:

Vamos Barca!!

Lovely football.

Not sure Tonali deserves to be on the losing side here, absolutely grafted his bollocks off tonight. Now gone off injured after making that recovery challenge.

Lewa makes it 5-2 from the corner in prime Lewa fashion.

Lewa makes it 6-2ā€¦toying with them now.

Football skill can beat brawn, if you have a cutting edge, what we lack

Oh Newcastle :rofl:

Assist by Ramsey was pretty nice tbf.

1603

Second half to forget.

Someone turned it on at 2-2 didnā€™t they?

Looking at Barca in the final 3rd and compared to us, their movement is far more positive looking for and expecting the pass, which is delivered.

On that last goal it was even delivered by the opposition

Even though they are piling on the goals here, I donā€™t fancy Barcelona to win the CL as I think they are too open.

Chastening experience for Newcastle this. They did well for the first half, but it has been all one way since.

Newcastle are currently quite poor so yeah theyā€™ve only won a half of football here against a team thatā€™s been struggling.

If we advance to the next round, and the way weā€™re playing atm, something like that could happen to us against PSG too. Iā€™d rather not even think about it.

Couldnā€™t really care if it might happen, it might focus minds higher up and Iā€™d rather it happen then than against someone like Stoke.

Also itā€™s 11m for progression.

Out of the Top8 6 teams made it to the quarter final. The other two crashed out against PSG and Real Madrid.

Pretty sure it was similar last year.

Another proof that you donā€™t need 36 teams in this competition.
