CL round of 16 2nd leg: Barcelona (4) vs AC Milan (0) - 12/3/2013

Naraku · Feb 21, 2013

Surely if Chelsea can use out tactics to survive there then we can do likewise! Just gotta make sure we don't go in with the mentality that we are through like we did against Arsenal and we should be able to get a draw, if only we can just score one goal then that really fucks them.

Azzurrii-08 · Feb 21, 2013

2-0 is probably not enough. We need to score in this game!

Redman10 · Feb 21, 2013

My hope is that Milan don't go into this game with the same attitude they did against Arsenal last year. Our 4-0 lead was reduce to 1 in one half of futbol.

Dawn · Feb 21, 2013

Come on, we can make this happen. The same line-up is fine for me. Everyone did great last night <3

Highly doubt that will happen. Only 3 players of that match were on the pitch for us last night. I assume that Allegri will have that video playing non-stop and the players' ratings from that match taped above their locker.

Ultra Swan · Feb 21, 2013

I think it's more due to the fact that Arsenal first leg was a breeze but Barcelona was a battle.

Can somebody tell me how much bigger is the pitch of Camp Nou? I checked a few sources and it seems like the pitch of San Siro and Camp Nou are equal in size which is 105 X 68.

Will still be a hell of a job to qualify though. Barcelona is usually much stronger at home. But whatever happens no one can take away this epic Milan performance of yesterday. We shackled one of the best teams in history with our team consisting mainly of pretty modest players who were operating as one machine.

they should be same size. Only a few english stadiums and well... general old stadia (like chelseas) are smaller.

Barca groom their pitch a certain way to suit their style though. The grass is about about as short as possible and plays fast. They also like to play really wide to spread you out and use their technical skill to play ball fast thru gaps. Faster than it plays on other pitches.

That gives allusion it's faster. Atleast thats what i've heard

Barca plays 4 matches before their match with us, we play 3 matches before meeting them. And amongst those 4 matches ... Barca plays Madrid twice (once in League and once in Copa). Also, our match against them is on Tuesday and we play the previous match on Friday, whereas Barca plays the previous match on Saturday.

Bottom line: They will be tired!

Dont know who they play on saturday, but im sure their b team will be well represented.

Calum1903 · Feb 22, 2013

When was the last time Barcelona went into a game needing (in all probability) to score 3/4 goals? Are they still capable of a sustained onslaught? It's been a long time since I've seen them get to that terrifying level where they stand a winger on each touchline and move the ball lightning quick. Will be interesting to see whether they can recapture that, because more of the same isn't going to do it for them unless Milan shit themselves.

I think they're pretty capable of that. They can score 3/4 at home against anyone, the question is whether they'll be able to score them without reply. We score one, Barca need four. That's a tough ask, and I can't see us not scoring given Barca's defence and how we'll set up.

Playing defensive is fine, but I hope Allegri doesn't pull a Mourinho and fields two banks of four stationed across the pitch like soldiers. We don't have the players for that. We should try to disrupt their midfield's rhythm and dispossess them by playing deep but pressing as much as possible.

Sitting back with a "come at us" attitude from the first minute would be suicide, IMHO.

If they can turn the table like that we'll be the biggest joke in the history of UCL.

Undeserved red card for our player, undeserved pen, ... all substances in universe will against us.

hey there milan fans,

I am a juve fan here. I want to congratulate you guys on the win against barca, you guys have did Italian football proud! I hate to admit this, but I found myself cheering when milan scored the two goals. I have always believed that Italian teams have the best tactical approach against teams like barca, and milan have proved that!

You guys managed to neutralized barca so well that I almost fell asleep watching barca players pass the ball boringly with no purpose and penetration.
FORZA ITALIAN CALCIO! FORAZA JUVE!

Thanks for your comment, although i do not agree about the 'Forza Juve' part at the end of your sentences

Highly unlikely that Milan parks the bus from the first minute. Presumably, it will be a similar tactical approach in the second leg as it was in the first, which is the right call. It is the old "bend don't break" defense. Let Barcelona have the middle of the field because trying to contain their midfielders is like eating a bunch of spicy peppers...you might do well for a while, but eventually it catches up with you.

I imagine Allegri will field Niang from the first minute and again defend with 11 men and attack with 11 men. I think Pazzo plays the first 60, and if we're still leading, Bojan comes on for his run out and since there will be more space.

Thats whats going to happen, my only hope is that we are going to clinical as in cold as ice in the first 20 minutes.

Barcelona are going to open up, its up to slice them up when they do.Had a dream that Pazzo & Niang scored doubles

Ditto. I think our tactical approach will be the same; however, we may need to be aware of Iniesta like last game because he is the game changer for Barca.

G.Costanza · Feb 22, 2013

We need to score. that should be our goal. getting a 1-0 loss can be really tricky, but if we score 1 it will be sure as hell they wonlt score 4. The modern Barca, with all thier greatness, has actually never had a huge come back as long as I remember. Their minds easily mess up when the time is running out and they are getting knocked out of CL.

Soldier_of_god · Feb 22, 2013

they did against arsenal but were ridiculously lucky that game, got rvp sent off for no reason when it was 1-1 and then bendtner comes on :fp:

. Barca take advantage by exposing the 10 men arsenal and eventually decimate them by winning 4 - 1. They beat athletico at home 4-1 which some barca fans were referring to lol, they think they cann do the same to us. Comparing us to athletico ???? really ??? athletico fucking dipshits. I hope we troll them and be the first team to win and break their unbeaten record at camp nou for the past 3 - 4 seasons. Faggots, dont deserve to win this tie, i just hope we get a fair ref like the first leg. He was awesome.
