So after yesterday's amazing performance from Porto I am starting to wonder if they can actually beat the powerhouse Bayern. They are playing top class football under Julen Lopetegui and the thing about this Porto side that I can say now unlike in recent years is that they have quality in EVERY position. Here's one of the goals from yesterday (by right-back Danilo):

I just wanted to hear if any of you give them a chance and if yes/no then why/why not?

Im so fucking happy right now :D It hought that we had a chance but this was unexpected. just love this squad, now let's hope Ribery, Robben and Schweinsteiger come back soon.

"This just proves that Bundesliga is weaker than Portuguese league" ;) gg

Haha, scary how Bayern did that without three of their best players.

Tennis score, game set and match.

@Dynastian we will seriously need them next round, especially if we meet Barca, who I think are the strongest side at the moment

@Stern

Madrid bossed Barca' midfield around like it was nothing in the first half of the Clasico. If Bayern can do that, it's a free victory. What Bayern have to be careful of are Barca's high balls, which they used effectively to help Suarez score and beat Madrid in the second half of the Clasico. Bayern are especially susceptible to long balls over the top with their extremely high line, and that's exactly how Wolfsburg thrashed them 4-1. I think Bayern are perfectly capable of beating Barcelona, Real Madrid (now that so much of our lineup is injured), Atletico, Juventus, and Monaco. They have nothing to fear.

Barcelona will have no chance against Bayern , well no one will if they keep playing like they did against Porto . Bayern can play any style they want . They are strong, fast and physical. Scary side to face . I am glad we are not in competition . Thanks to years of work from different managers on this amazing squad, they became true german machine with variety of arsenal at their dispense .

''Barcelona will haveno chance agaisnt Bayern'' just lol.

Barça Vs French and English champions : 9-2
Barça are more solid defensively than Bayern, and their attack isnt to be described the names talk by themselves, and Barça learned how to suffer without possession while they used to concede in each rival momentum...

An off match of Bayern and some defensive mistakes in away games costed some away games, Barça didnt, won home and away all their games since Suarez joined the party, so if teams want to mark Messi far in midlefield where he is, that liberates a lot of space to Ney and pistolero who took their chances, if Iniesta get his form back, Bayern have to worry...
Pep only went to watch Barça games, not City, not Chelsea, not PSG, he knows who is contending and wich team looks dangerous for his squad...

I wanted to not face Bayern for Guardiola, he knows his previous team very well, butEnrique tactic changes and the additional players can make difference...
Barça - Bayern will be an even game, anyway only 3 teams in Europe could pretend to CL trophy this year, 2 of them are already where they should be...

People who rulled Bayern couple of days ago are the same that will say Barça have no chance, follow the wind as usual.

I predicted Barça-Bayern in the final, hope they meet there not before...

What is enlgish and french teams have to do with anything ? You are something else , I swear . We are talking ze German team that loves to tear apart spanish teams .

Ans Lol that is a bit optimistic . Shall I remind you the score last time Barca faced Bayern or will you quickly check your tiki taka database :)) ?

in my opinion. for such a vicious team like bayern, the only team suited to face them is REAL MADRID. both team are ridiculously fast pace with fast players. its not that barca cant defeat bayern in a match but i find that a bit hard to believe. bayern with such big physical players that are also fast. barca may have the chance if only bayern top defenders are out injured. :l

@jimbet

Completely agree . Right now . The only team that has a good chance to knocking Bayern out is full fit Real and maybe Atletico but Atletico still not a complete team they have departments where they lack quality . Real has everything like Bayern . They can sit back and counter attack , attack full mode , keep possession , individual quality is world class and their players can play physical just like Bayern .

You dont remember the circumstances nor the injuries, you are just a buthurt without any proper knowledge, bring Bayern in semi we will see...
Real if you followed a little Football are on the same level than Barça, few details decide their game, only 3 teams in Europe to have that level...

Based on what ? Barça defense did way better than Madrid and Bayern, people never watch games and open their mouth, not very surprising why they always get things wrong...

From the guy who said that Liga Sagres are better than Bundesliga, this is one of the biggest faceplam i saw lately.

few Injuries that is your excuse for loosing 7-0 .. ok .

Real if you followed a little Football are on the same level than Barça, few details decide their game, only 3 teams in Europe to have that level...

See this is your shameless hypocrisy . You were arguing completely different things . What kind of man are you , if you are man, that you can't track what you wrote and what you argued about ?

From the guy who said that Liga Sagres are better than Bundesliga, this is one of the biggest faceplam i saw lately.

Your IQ must be very low mate if you could not spot heavy sarcasm directed to people like you perhaps especially you .... smh I am arguing with kid .Go back youtube videos and learn about world and football . Taking someones opinion and views expressing them as your own because you can't properly have one ...

You say so much dimb things so i dont know if its sarcasm or another stupid point...
Go to sleep if you think BPL teams are the strongest in Europe, keep fooling yourself...
This thread had nothing to do with Barça, but since you are buthurt about the Barça-PSG result 5-1 while 10 men got Chelsea a$$ kicked from CL, this may have hurt you, so stop hating for free...

Bayern lost 5-0 to Madrid last year, so between BIG teams that play like BIG teams, things could escalate quickly depending on form and circumstances, this is why taking risk teams will always do better than parking bus teams in term of results and score games...

@tiki

Just let it go . You loose your ethics and it is becoming stupid fight . Did you have any let me ask ? Get some ethics and hold a conversation as grown up rather than throwing insults . It does not help your case of becoming smart ethical guy . At least pretend to be one .

Lol Marcus talking about ethics, the irony :) good try to end an embarassing end of conversation, just let it go too now.

guys...

I'm against tiki on this one. Invalid arguments in a thread meant for something else than this usual bullshit!

Guys, please chill.
