I think Barca not having their coach (he's getting treatment abroad atm) has hurt them to an extent, but as with last season, if you're totally reliant on Messi for goals and he can't get into the game then you're in trouble.

Teams that win the CL are by and large stingy with goals conceded and Barca haven't kept a lot of clean sheets lately, which is why I think Bayern are a great shout this time round. Madrid will be loving this too, if they can remember how to play against United in the 2nd leg.

Yep was going to say the same, since Villanova isn't on the sidelines...Barca don't look very good.

Barca just look to be out of ideas and Messi has been quite literally ****ing terrible tonight.

MY money is on Bayern to win the CL this yr, don't think Barca will win it tbqh.
 
Bye bye Barca...just like Arsenal you won't be going any further lololol.

Nice win, a goal handed on a plate by a blatant handball and a second goal which left barca defenders looking like fools lololol.

Man Utd managed it in 07/08. Barca are a better side now though.

Yeah, and tanked in 08/09 and 10/11. Again a lot of teams try it vs Barca and it doesn't work, its probably most teams best bet in winning though despite it still being unlikely.

Those games they actually had to try and win though. In 07/08 they got an early goal and then just held on.

Milan already have the advantage. They don't have to set out to score a goal.
 
Superb performance from Milan tonight, did everything right.

Barcelona were outclassed - passing the ball around near the half way line doesn't count as class (:p) - and they still don't have a plan B if they're struggling with their usual methods.

The tie is far from over though, Milan are going to have to do the same again at the Nou Camp, they don't need to take any risks going forward there though.
 
Ruud Gullit you legend! Baiting Redknapp and Hoddle for being illiterate! How many times have they said El Shaarawy's name wrong tonight?

Barca very average tonight - its gonna need a great performance at the Nou Camp for them to win it now
 
Just tuned in to find Barca lost, wow if Milan can do a job in the second leg and if we can do a job against Madrid in the second leg and if we can avoid Bayern we could actually win the Champions League this season
