The way Napoli are playing from the back reminds me of how close I got to heart attack every game when we tried to do the same :D

Barca bereft of imagination in midfield

So far it's one of the most boring games I've seen in CL in recent years

Di Lorenzo is not having a good game. It's incredible how mediocre Italian fullbacks are these years

Vidal is such a cunt.

Glad to see him sent off.

Funny how Juventus and Barcelona manage to get such huge cunts as Dani Alves and Vidal.

Not a very pretty game. Still 2nd half was far more entertaining than 1st. I don't know why Gattuso insists on playing out from the back when clearly he doesn't know how to instruct his teams in doing so confidently and properly. It was an expensive draw for Barca: Busquets suspended for next game. Vidal saw red and is also suspended. Pique's injury looked serious. Their bench is very thin as it is.
Zielinski is class :star:

Meh, good result for Napoli.

Can't imagine Barcelona will sit back, so they should have chances.

What's Messi's record on Italian soil? Surely must be the country in Europe where he's least productive.

Apparently they have like 13 main squad players left + 5 academy (Fati included) now. Very thin indeed considering 2-3 of those are keepers.

Still I can't help but feel like Gattuso missed an opportunity with his catenaccio approach. 1-1 isn't a very good result considering how poor Barca were. Napoli's attackers definitely looked more dangerous than Barca's and had they been allowed forward more often they probably could've secured a much more favourable result. Barca are of course huge favorites at Camp Nou

His approach was spot on, but the players have failed him. Barca had just 1 shot on goal and were lucky to have that one converted into goal.

Napoli had 3-4 good chances and the fair result would've been 2-0 or 3-1.

Wow guys you should watch the ladri game. Lyon all over them but the most beautiful part is referee not blowing his whistle at clean tackles and balls won back by the Lyon players :proud:

Ladri and Merda are a disgrace in Europe. Please get us back into the tournament and show them how its done. Pathetic small ass clubs

Just wait till they get their only saving grace; another dubious penalty.

Looks like Sarri can’t handle the prima donnas at juve... This young milan team would be perfect for him.

Make it happen Maldini!
