    Was that * a foul on Alba btw. Soft * need to go back to school and discover what a shoulder barge means. How can Roy Keane as well be saying it's a foul :56:
    ffs he was one of the dirtiest * ever to grace a pitch, and he knows that's not a foul if you're over 6 years of age.

    Too many in that Barcelona team aren't good enough. Looking at Valdes, Bartra, Sanchez and Pedro mainly.

    I think they're crying out to play a 3-6-1 to be honest. Play 3 centre backs and give the two full backs more protection.

    There was no difference from that and a CB sheparding a ball out of play.

    Valdes kept that from being 6 or 7. I agree with the rest though.

    How many goals did they score today? And BTW, Bayern's defense hasn't been rated as the world's best- they certainly had dodgy moments through the last few years.

    Three losses in four years would be comedic gold.

    Bayern's mental strength more than anything has to be praised. Most other players and teams would have had a mass-suicide session after * up the CL final in their own stadium like that, but fair * to them they've come back better than anyone could ever have envisaged.

    Indeed, they've won the league at a canter as well.

    Barcelona are not considered the greatest ever because they are easy to stop. Are they?

    Bayern fully deserved that 4-0 win. As others have said this could be the end of an era. We managed to beat them, Milan managed it and Bayern have demolished them. If teams could hold their nerve at the Nou Camp and play there like they do at home then Barca would need to quickly find a new gameplan.

    The only thing Bayern will be concerned about is the fact that Barca lost 2-0 to Milan in Italy and the trounced them 4-0 at home in the second leg.

    Not saying that Bayern will crumble like Milan did, but there's always the danger. Messi might be particularly in the mood that night and if he is, trouble will be ahead for Bayern. Once he turns it on, nobody can handle him.

    Munich would self destruct if they lost another.

    Not sure Southgate had to bring up Vilanova's illness there at the end *.

    Barcelona shouldn't be too sad, they're still breaking records in the CL, first team to lose 4-0 in a semi-final :smiley-laughing002:

    I think the game in which we played them have really affected them .
