Barcelona v Liverpool UCL Semi Final 1/5/19 20.00 BT2 +Virgin.

Cantona's Collars

The clash of the 2 favourites to win the trophy so something's got to give.
Barcelona with the genius of Messi and Liverpool with a lethal front 3 could serve up a treat.
The fans over there already seem to be enjoying themselves. Will they be happy by the final whistle?

No mate. I support Everton, no clue what I did in a past life to deserve to put up with this pain for 27 years :pac:

anyone who thinks Ronaldo is better than Messi is just not being objective.

Best player ever easily.

Unless one counts World Cups.

If you count the biggest trophy in world football, he's not "easily" better than Pele and Maradona...

And people getting upset about it is fitting for a sport where people go down clutching their faces if an opposing player farts within 10 yards of them.

If Barca go on to the final they'll likely secure another treble, Messi, Busquests and Pique will have 3 trebles which is pretty unheard of.

Yeah, but they have never won The 97 Points Cup.

I think on tonight's showing whoever wins this tie is basically the champions.

Ajax are a great side very fearless but theyed be picked apart by Barca and smothered by Pool.

Spurs, well I don't think they'll be in the final but Barca have already beaten them well and tested Messi for the camp Nou game as they were through.

If Pool turn this around it will be up there with some of the greatest CL come backs of all time and they'll be worthy winners.

If Barca go on to the final they'll likely secure another treble, Messi, Busquests and Pique will have 3 trebles which is pretty unheard of.

I don't get this at all. Pathetic glee is just as much part of the fan experience as anything else. Far too sensitive around here. I say that as a hurting Liverpool fan, I expect dogs abuse from any opposition. And so what? I'd be the same in their position, it's all part of coping with the ups and downs of supporting your team.

Ah it was a foul. Barca made the most of any contact throughout the game but definitely got blocked off

Not many games play out with going to the Camp Nou, dominating possession 57-43, getting more shots on target and corners and coming away with a 3-0 loss.

It wasn't Liverpool's night. It was Messi's.

Watch it again maybe.

Fabinho slid in and tackled Messi, the ball bounced through to Suarez who fluffed his shot so much that the ball bounced up off his knee onto the crossbar and then crashed back down straight to the feet of Messi.

Ok, I didn't take note of the Suarez mis hit, (and will have a look back) - I just thought he lifted it too high. Nevertheless, again, he made contact with the ball a few yards from goal as he tried to take on a shot, it wasn't as if the ball hit him on the back of the head while he was star gazing.
I don't buy the interception nonsense. There is 11 men on the pitch, any interception runs the risk of falling to an opposition player, especially in that area of the pitch when a team is breaking so quick. It is players like Suarez who are there in that position to anticipate an interception like that, like it is a defenders job to anticipate a breaking ball.

It was far from the perfect goal but Liverpool fans are claiming it was some completely bizarre goal that defied logic, almost to the point Barca didn't deserve it

A team attacks, another team doesn't defend, sh^t will inevitably happen.

UTD ,Liverpool ,Chelsea all nearly equally hated which I imagine city will catch up quickly just being the bigger teams

Going to go out on a limb here, but I don't think Liverpool will lose either tie.

I can see a draw tonight, and a victory at home.

And if Klopp goes for it, I think they could get a win tonight as well.

I haven't a clue

8-10

A fascinating game of football to be honest. A goal at 1-0, Milner's chance maybe, would have made it an even better tie but I think it's all over now.

But incredible to have Liverpool at this stage of the competition again playing against the very best. And Messi is the very very best there is. I hope the 2nd leg is as watchable as tonights game because I thought it was a fine game of ball from start to finish despite the result

So watched that match in Buenos Aires and they have literally just shown all of his 600 goals on the ESPN channel.

Football Porn.

You see I don't get this. They ran with pure intention and intelligence at the Liverpool defence, some neat passing and then executed a lovely shot that hit the crossbar which rebounded into the path of their forward who had put himself in a position in the box (as forwards are expected to) who duly scored.

How is this being classified as this flukey, undeserved, lucky goal?

Am I missing something here? If anything Liverpool would have been lucky if they had got away without conceding from that piece of play.

Fabinho's tackle that was inadvertently a forward pass was a fluke and then everything afterwards was a fluke. Your point is valid as well.
