Sevilla

...ok...

It is not about the opponents. It is about Barca and their home strength. Everyone knows how terribly difficult is to keep them away from goal on Camp Nou. They did comeback many times in Champions League as well (against Milan, Arsenal, PSG, Chelsea and so on). Main difference is that Italian strongest teams are not as good as Barcelona or Real Madrid, or even Atletico (we'll see how that goes in round of 16).

Spanish good teams except from the front 3, like Bilbao, Sociedad, Celta, Betis could easily break Torino, Lazio or Fiorentina, and Roma and Napoli are nothing better than Valencia and Sevilla, altho those would be great matches to watch.

And mate, the fact that Spanish clubs are the strongest may be seen just by the look on European competitions. They always either win or go furthest forward.

You can put it this way. Let's take three currently 9th placed clubs in EPL, Serie A and La Liga. Real Sociedad, Watford and Fiorentina. It's hard to argue which club is the best when you take any bottom placed, but when you compare Juventus and Inter or Man City and Liverpool to Barca and Real Madrid there a significant quality difference. Every world class player wants to end up in one of those 2. So that's why everything ''looks'' easier for them in Spain, altho trust me it isn't.

I didn't say anything about Barcelona and their home strenght or anything about La Liga clubs in Europa. It's a very simple statement backed up by facts. La Liga clubs are super weak in terms of keeping their advantage against a giant like Barca. This wont ever happen to Italian clubs once they get such advantage. there might be a chance they lose to proceed to next round but u wont see them get trashed with 4+6+ goals difference. La Liga clubs are just a joke in this kind of situations. If u watched the whole match from the start Sevilla was lost and scared to even play a simple defensive football lol.

Oh and dont make me go in details of Barcas comeback vs PSG lol. We all know it was the biggest scam of CL. No wonder they got kicked out next round after "such comeback" lmfao

Juve lost to madrid and barca too many times.
I hope atletico knocks juve out to shut you for good.

You really wanna go there? you really wanna do a H2H Juve vs Barca and Juve vs Real? Beter do your research and come talk again and you realize who lost more and who won more in H2H. fucking idiot.

the one that should research is you retard

That’s the image Ronaldo created and himself to blame for that but can’t say same for Messi because every one knows Messi doesn’t dive..

*gets clipped by an opponent from behind when trying to lob the ball*
*gets called out for stomping the ground*
right.

Ronaldo would do that cuz he took the penalties himself. Messi gave his to coutinho. You really cant compare their personalities like that.

@Bestiainmunda... Don’t portray messi as saint, y messi give penalty to others is it is one of this weekness like heading..

Was Ronaldo playing ?

@archsosha r u mentally ill?. Messi gave that pen to coutinho to boost his confidence up. Coutinho himself thanked messi after the game

Messi didn’t appeal for penalty and kept calm and waited for referee decision but in general he appeals every time he gets tackled In box.. but Ronaldo would have asked for penalty saying that is a penalty. I m pretty sure Messi could not complained if it was not given. That’s the difference they created their reputation one is not a diver and second known for diving.

lmao lambo. "ok" is all im gonna reply to you

but Chelsea wears white kit when Ramierez and Torres knock the out of the CL

It had a little bit of blue and yellow. More ppl should learn from that :P

Don't lie, you are an obvious Messi hater

not negative.. it's one of the most beautiful team goals iv'e ever seen.
And yes... Messi scored in the end.

Rested starters first game, played starting 11 second game.

if things can be done in one game, why playing two 😂 Deadliest away game in Europe right now

Yea I watch him. And honestly he deserves a lot more subs than he has.

YOU ARE RIGHT.

Barca has a luxurious list for the goalkeeper spot. That's a huge advantage. Plus, Cillessen is so professional that he never complain about being a backup but shows up everytime he got a chance to play. He stopped a penalty and his save against Andre Silva's attempt on the first half was amazing. Simply Man of The Match for me.

limbu DAJU , afnai manche ho kyare, TASHI DELEK.

Indeed! Barca had the same luxurious problem back in 2014/2015 with Bravo and Ter stegen. Even though it was Ter stegen's first season, he was still solid keeper specially in CL. Lucky Barca!

That's right, i feel sorry for Bravo though for his situation in EPL.

Cillessen is WORLDCLASS!!!

Don't agree, Sevilla players defending is so pooor, this make it easy to score a goal like in training...

LOL says a PSG fan :) some bad memories to forget ?

nah don't think it's puskas tbh. Was a sick goal but it felt like the Sevilla players were truly drained and just weren't focused at all at the last seconds of the game and knowing they've lost in an away stadium. No doubt though it was incredible but just didn't feel as good as it should be. Wasn't like Jack wilshire vs Norwich levels. And I think after seeing Salah win puskas, we need to truly award top goals.

It was the whole fucking team who took a step up. Back, mid and attack.

poor chelsea
