Ahahaha Mario Balotelli happy possibly for the first time ever?

 

[ledman]

My god, I hate Milan , hope they get Bayern if they manage to lock Barça in the 2º game.

 

[Randdalf]

Two ex-Portsmouth players scoring against Barcelona

 

[inHallways]

Balotelli having a grand old time haha.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Before the goals it was "Barca is shit" all over the place. After the hands goal it was "LOOOOLLLL" all over the place.

So yeah, I have to say something.

And yeah, Barca could have played better today. They should have created more instead of passing the ball around. But with an opponent who doesn't want to play that's hard. And I truly compliment Milan for the way they're defending tonight, they do a great job.

The first part - that's just football fans. Popular/best teams are not liked by opposition fans, happens here with all of them. Manure/Lollerpool/Fuck Bayern etc.

Second bit. They've scored more than you've had shots on goal. That says something.

 

[adriano999]

We will score 5 at the Camp Nou

Remuntada?

 

[Freewheelin']

I laugh when people say 'welp, time to park the double-decker bus' or whatever, it's hilarious. It doesn't matter how you win a match.

 

[Gareth Bale]

hnnnnggg who was that?

she can totally get it.

 

[Clegg]

Football won tonight.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Haven't seen Messi this poor in a while. He's been tracked brillaintly tbf

 

[FootballFan]

Need a goal?

Most teams: get ball forward, put people in the box.
Barca: play ball backwards, sideways, put nobody in the box because their striker is trying to play as a deep-lying playmaker WITH NO ONE INFRONT OF HIM

It works 96% of the time so why not?

 

[Koko]

My gawd what control from Boateng

 

[dalVlatko]

That Boateng touch..

 

[John Dunbar]

looks like berlusconi's thugs paid a visit to messi before the match.

 

[dc89]

Mah £15 is burning infront of my eyes.

 

[Lunchbox]

5 unicefuefa minutes

Messi loses the ball


lololololol

 

[3Sixty]

Saints Loanee Ben Reeves scored a last min goal to put Southend into JPT final.

Far too good for League 2.

 

[FootballFan]

Haven't seen Messi this poor in a while. He's been tracked brillaintly tbf

When he gets shut down, we literally have no attack.

 

[Brinbe]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLL BARCA

 

[feel]

Messi tried hand of god again there.. lol

 

[Hixx]

It works 96% of the time so why not?

because I have put money on these cunts

do they not know that.

 

[Suen]

Barca :lol :lol :lol

 

[Paracelsus]

Perfect. Now give us AC Milan in the quarter finals.

 

[K1LLER7]

Looooool Barca.

Deserved win for Milan.

 

[arkon]

Barcealolna

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Fuck yeah! Destroyed.

 

[deadnoob]

Grande Allegri.

 

[Sviatoslav]

It works 96% of the time so why not?

Because when it doesn't they never have a plan B.

 

[pulga]

I can't wait to see Balotelli jump the stands and run across the Camp Nou, sprinklers splashing his charcoal skin and Valdes right behing, trying to choke him <3

 

[Shake Appeal]

Haha, the look on the referee's face. He knows he's getting hauled in by the CL moneymen tomorrow.

 

[kharma45]

Haha Barca, wish I'd put my money where my mouth was earlier and bet on a Milan win.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Milan will go all the way if they knock Barca out this round, you can't beat Barca and lose.

 

[Lambda Pie]

i bet the ones saying "don't count Barça out yet!" were the ones thinking Chelsa were going to get run over by them last year.

Barça is done. Milan was made for these clutch matches.

 

[Lunchbox]

bye bye you cunts

 

[FootballFan]

Good game Milan fans, I still think we can do it in the second game.

Messi was shut down = no attack.

Cesc sucked as usual.

Milan used the right tactics.

 

[Freewheelin']

That said, brilliant performance from Milan, by all sounds of it!

 

[panty]

Well done Milan. Now don't fuck this up.

 

[Timurid]

Bring up that Italian Coefficient!

 

[Kiraly]

Goddamn Sony, I want to laugh at Barca fans

 

[Cuddler]

Congratulations to Milan. Barcelona need to understand that they can't always play like this, they need other options.

 

[Meier]

Holy shitting fuck.

Poor dude nailed the score in the Barca game. Just had it reversed. Unbelievable.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

It works 96% of the time so why not?

Because you've proved that it doesn't work all that well against exceptionally disciplined teams. It works enough to be deemed a big success, but with the players you have, you could easily afford to take the risks needed to make it work 98% of the time


Exceptional performance from Milan btw, pretty much perfect. Didn't need any luck either like Chelsea and Celtic

 

[Noirulus]

GAF crashing, post if you're alive!

 

[Yen]

See you after the conference, I doubt GAF will survive.

 

[jtb]

Servers are getting fucking hammered, goddamn.

 

[Freewheelin']

GAF is buckling.

 

[keit4]

Take note of this, Barça:

Epic match.

 

[clemenx]

This Milan has been a bit of a disgrace. Way to redeem themselves. Still, fuck Allegri.

 

[bjaelke]

GAF is alive for now.

 

[Suen]

Hilarious game. Suddenly the Arsenal defeat yesterday doesn't feel as bad anymore

Spoiler

Arse

. So what will Barca fans do now? Will they claim Milan cheated throughout the game? Bribed ref? Will they admit they played like shit? Or will they somehow manage to connect everything to being Madrids fault? Just kidding Barca-GAF.

Seriously Barca didn't play any good, all that possession and I thought they'd find an opening and score goal(s) but nope, nothing. They all look like the just woke up, that or VERY tired. Not only that but it always seem as if they fall in a state of confusion once the opposite team start being very aggressive in attacking. To be fair it wasn't just Barca being bad but Milan playing good, the first half felt more like a built-up for an all-out attack in the second half if anything. Props to Milan and congrats Milan-GAF.

And no you can't use the first goal as an argument, the referee took the right decision. It took a deflection on Alba first and it would have been impossible to avoid it. Besides let's not forget last year Milan and Barca played, if I recall correct there was some serious bullshit decision about one of the two penalties given to Barca at Camp Nou but I could be wrong here, Milan/Barca-GAF probably remember that better.

Still Puyol was being amazing as usual, that guy never gives up which just makes you have huge respect for him. Shame to see that Messi didn't quite get into his usual play today but cheer up Barca-GAF, you still have the second leg left and we all know that you guys are beasts at Camp Nou! Still I'd prefer Milan to qualify, not only because of last year but also because they seem to be improving quite well

Anyway well done Milan-gaf, bad luck Barca-gaf. May the best team win in the second leg!
