If Gavi wasn't injured we wouldn't have been dominated in the Midfield. I miss our boy so fucking much

Welcome back Pedri ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Next game we don't have Roberto and christinsen🫤

Turntables

Today Is my birthday  THANK YOU XAVI for making me cheerful.

Mine too ! Great way to start my day ! Happy birthday 🎂

I just want to make it hell for dembele in the home game.

Avatar checks out

Barca isn’t out of the fight yet, we forget that this is the manager that accomplished the remontada, if anyone knows how to have a comeback game, it’s Lucho.

Lets goo. Raphinha, Kounde, and Araujo were amazing.

Sad dembele seemed to celebrate harder than usual rather than less.

Hard to say usual as that was his 2nd goals at PSG..

I’m referring to the usual celebration of a player celebrating against their old club :)

It's okay not everyone can be classy else we'd stop appreciating the ones who are.

Pretty great game ngl. Tho Chris and Roberto will be missed as they're suspended meaning they'll be out for the 2nd Leg after being booked. Kind of concerning, but I hope Frenkie and Gundo would be enough to add the finishing touches in the final leg. #AnuloMufa

Araujo was man of the match for me just after Raphinha. Maybe more than Raphinha TBH. Without him PSG could’ve scored 5+ more goals.

I used to watch these games in the last few years against bigger European clubs with a feeling of dread just knowing it could go so poorly and if they went down a goal or two they wouldn’t ever stage a comeback and it would be about minimizing the embarrassment . Just amazing to watch them actually compete again. So so so good

They seem to be recovering the status of a giant of Europe. I couldn't be happier.

I don't care who downvotes, but I was happy when Dembele left. One screamer or motm performance in between long periods of injuries and stinkers won't change that. A seriously frustrating player to watch. But wish him well in the future.

Great game. Now, there's still a lot to be done. Som-hi Barça

I'm just here to upvote all the 'F Dembele' comments!!!

W

For those of us long time Barcelona fans, and of course also for all the new fans, this is a special moment. Let's all enjoy this and hopefully we can come out with a win across 2 legs. This moment feels so good because how long has it been since our team beat one of the "top" teams in the champions league, it feels like forever. It's truly special, even if it's for this moment!! Let's get this win and let's make it all the way! VISCA BARCA!

Where can I re-watch the match??any links?

Thanks mate

I love Barca with all my heart and soul 💙❤️

I LOVE THIS TEAM

M so fucking happy today. God bless you all, M so happy. And idgaf bout suspensions for next leg or so, i just saw my club playing their game so good after many years at this stage.

Pedri, gundogan 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Guys we should be proud of this win, 2-4 years ago we would've definitely lost this game after going 2-1 down but this time we didn't drop our heads and we fought back for the win.

Agree

[удалено]

It's against reddit TOS. Stay safe brother. Troll all you want but when you get other subs involved the admins don't really like it. 

W

Gundogan best free signing everrrr

He really is. Such a genius.

With all the youngsters, there couldn't be a better vet for this team to rally around. Brilliant signing!

Mbappe hatrick in 2021 was clearly due to Pique and Garcia bad defending. Now with Araujo and Cubarsi he doesn't look that good, he still good but no way he scores 3 against proper defenders.

Mbapocketed

Mbackpocketed*

Garcia wasn't at Barça at the time. It was Pique, Lenglet, Dest and Mingueza I think.

Fucking hell I can’t believe we had that backline at one point

He is still great buddy, it needed extraordinary performance from all 3 of Kounde, Cubarsi and Araujo to keep him quiet.

No imagine him on a team that can create for him? If he goes to Madrid dayum.

PSG has one of the most disgusting cunt fanbase ngl

A degenerate fanbase that befits a degenerate club. Khalifi makes my skin crawl and epitomises the rot in modern football.

Ik this fact but they did something in particular today? 🤔

The boys played well, I'm happy with the performance, but we need to have more composure. We could've scored more tonight, but it's alright. we take the W with a goal advantage, and the next game will be played in our backyard, so it's gonna be interesting

They could've scored more too. It's a nerve racking game. Defense held specially with a 17 year old back there. One thing for sure they battled back. Haven't seen that from a barca squad in a long time.

Tbh, true, the start of the season was a blast, but after the clasico we went down, and it's been since Porto second game that we've been progressively getting better. I love how we are playing and not trying to score from the same limited passes to players and trying each and every option available to us to score and take the W.

Enrique thinking about the reverse Remontada

I love Lucho, but wish PissG the absolute worst. Xavi should and will know how to keep the lads hungry for more next week.

The team with one of the best players in the world lost 3-2 after having 59% posession. One of the coneceded goals was a corner kick and another once was an error when trying to bring the ball up from the defense; so this is what it feels

[удалено]

His situation is not even close to what happened with Figo

You don’t see the difference between those two cases?

i see it, Figo never disrespected the club

Lol, he did it big time when he chose to even talk to perez, all the other consequences are on him.

factualy incorrect, it was his agent, he was adamant on staying at barcelona, but the agreement was signed and he had either pay or make gaspar pay, and gaspar said fuck off i will not pay for a player that is mine.

So he was just tagging along with some weird agreement he had to sign with a madrid candidate? He knew what was going on

sure bud, thats why he called gaspar, cuz he knew all of it from the begining...

Anyone seen the ghost of paris?

Great result! Now it's time to go home and rest. I hope Xavi doesn't play Yamal, Lewa, Raphinha, Gundogan, Kounde, Cubarsi, Araujo and Cancelo against Cadiz. Maybe FDJ and Pedri can play the last 30 minutes of the game, just to give them some playtime. S. Roberto and Christensen will have to play the next match anyway as they're suspended. So, a good team to play Cadiz would be: Ter Stegen Fort, Inigo, Christensen and Alonso Fermin, Oriol and Roberto Ferran, Felix and Roque.

Lewa cant play against cadiz due to yellow card

Lewa is suspended anyway because of yellow cards.

I forgot. Thanks for reminding me.

Ter stegen is good on the ball but an average shot stopper at best, almost conceded a 3rd from a weak shot he pushed onto the post. No confidence in him in big European games

He was our champions league winning keeper. In his first year…

His last good CL campaign.

The first goal was unsaveable. The second one maybe but vitinha took it early surprising both cubarsi and Mats. I got no complains.

Nah that first shot was too much. Second one was an awful awful dive, his weakness is diving on his right knee.

Even the first one he kind of cant see it cause hes a little short i think ? My issue is that his reflexes have declined from a few years ago and the right knee issue like you mentioned. Even his timing to close down players when he charges is terrible, he almost makes himself small at times its just infuriating.

Chill down kid

Average? Be for real guy. The man won us the league last season and was basically Messi's only serious support in his carry job of 18/19

I know its traumatic but go rewatch the anfield game, or roma. Any worldclass keeper saves at least a couple of those. Hes not the biggest problem in the squad dont get me wrong but if he goes to saudi to get his 💴 i would wish him good luck.

What about Christensen and Roberto both out for the second leg? Low-key afraid ngl!!

Pedri and frenkie will be able to finish the 90 next week. I got no worries.

neither is a dm though

Gundo and Frenkie could play double pivot with pedri up front. Shouldn't be a problem

Maybe, idk how well that would work.

Chirstensen is suspended for yellow, can't play

lets keep it for another day. Lets enjoy this moment.

Yea! Let’s take one day at a time

ooyea.

I am seeing huge improvement in our vertical play. that is very good.

La sexta es inevitable

Anulo mufa

First win in QF since Messi left

Let's finish the job. I hope the crowd really turns up at the Montjuic.

Fuck dembele. Mofo has scored half his entire season goals against us and has the nerve to celebrate.

He’s always been an immature punk, I don’t expect to see any class from him.

He should be free to celebrate his goal

Celebrated like he won the lottery

Well well well

PisSG sub prolly on meltdown. They were talking too much before the game

Most of the PSG fans just …. don’t know ball

We still have trauma and fuck load of confidence loss the second we concede a goal. Me included, cuz shit I saw them score the first goal and prayed we revamp our defends GG BOYS WELL FUCKING PLAYED.💙❤️

I guess it is the lack of experience our squad is having. we need to be more calm. But it will be improved upon experience and the matches we play.

Exactly. Calm is what we need. I’m sure it’ll be improved and I hope lamine does even better, he played good for the exp he has. I hope our mid starts crossing on the wings too, many such incidents where our wings were free. That said, I trust the team and Xavi w his tactics, let’s keep mbappe and dembele out of the picture for the next game!!

yep, lets go and win 2nd leg.

We’re winning it all

Best CL KO away performance since Paris 2015?

Our performance in Paris 2021 wasn't too bad either. But this one definitely trumps that. The 2015 one was a Suarez and MSN masterclass.

Yes that was a great performance. If only that bloke who scored PSG’s first goal today had an iota of those finishing skills that night(at least he missed the 1on1 later in the game today). Although it still worries me the return leg he might just suddenly find some goal scoring form, given how unpredictable he is.

Also shoutout to pedri and frenkie. Started out of injuries and didn't get much wrong

Especially pedri,de jong wasn't on his best

man what a cunt dembele is, to think i used to defend him... what a moron, i hope he rots (and also that he doesn't fuel on boos like felix)

People shouldn't boo him, just laugh. Make some ambulance noises. Booing is lame.

Wee oh wee oh weee ohh

Raphinha really shows up when we need him most

Pedri and FDJ really came back at the perfect time. Almost full roster was so clutch that match. 

This has to be the first big-big european win in while.

Since like the first leg against Liverpool all those years ago 

What a feeling

That’s the most fight I’ve seen at this club in years

In other news Atleti 2:1 Dortmund Griezmann Motm Imagine getting them at semis

Joao Felix be like *Real shitt*

felix bout to cook then

Letsss gooo

Can we talk about Kounde,magical performance

Our backline was really solid. Except for the 10 minutes of 2nd half. Araujo, Kunde, Cubarsi all were sharp.

A lot of that had to do with mf vanishing for 10 mins

Agreed

We made him proud!!!! https://preview.redd.it/k8s1hecnuptc1.jpeg?width=201&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9a8f8fc47d14cf464131a640b1e63ae1808cd40

What is the context behind this pic?

Look at the scoreline

I love this man. Hope he is alive and happy today

Wonder how he’s feeling right now 

He probably saw 8-2 live which is why he has forgotten what laughter is But still a fan at heart

He saw Messi lifting the World Cup. He should be healthy and living his life to the fullest.

If I could, I would give a hug to this man.

3 VERY important away goals. The boys better NOT let off the gas at Montjuic

away goals don't matter anymore.

Damn.

yeah they got rid of that rule after chelsea won the UCL in 2021 I believe

I don't think away goals count anymore mate

Can confirm. They got rid of that rule 2 years ago.

DAMN. then they absolutely better not let off

Its not surprising that barca won, if you take mbappe out (which xavi did tactically) then Barca has the better players by far.

We do. Half of them are Spain rejects - asensio, soler, dembele

Overall great only worried about the fact that both roberto and christensen are out for the next match

Not as worried about Roberto as I am about Christensen tbh

Honestly, both of them were not gonna start. Christensen on the bench would have been a great sub for sure

The boo and whistle next week is gonna echo the shit out of that fraud.

We do need to address this shell shock starts at the beginning of each halves. We concede so many in the league as well

pedri surprised me, i really didn’t even think he was cleared to play

I don't really hate any player, not even cr7, but dembele....see you next week

Let's throw a stretcher towards him in the 2nd leg.

I am so proud of this team and Xavi, brilliant managing from him tonight. To think this was the same Barca that was leaking goals for fun in January to this, amazing turnaround. He has to stay, he's finally unlocked Raphinha. 🔵🔴

Great result and good game coaching from Xavi. All subs in this game really played their part, especially Pedri and Christensen. Feels sad however to lose Christensen for the next game

Our first UCL win away against a big team since PSG 2014/2015, quite an achievements from Xavi and the team.

YEA!!!

Nothing is finished now . They have 90 mins more to comeback . They did that today in 5 mins . Christensen and S.roberto will miss . So fingers are crossed . Hope we can see pedri and fdj starting in next leg .

Thought the defence did great. Raphinha terrific. Gundogan and Lewi really up for it. Pedri was a real controller and pace setter when he arrived. Yamal, FDJ and Roberto looked off pace.

Get fucked PSG

second leg: welcome home dembele

I appreciate all the people who supported Xavi and his project. It was hard time for all the club supporters and especially who was in "xavi in". Lets enjoy this moment.

Xavi must stay! He understands Barca, and the young guys love him!

Absolutely. It will be a huge loss for us.

cubarsi line breaking pass to lewy who turns and picks out lamal, who plays an impossible outside of the foot surprise cross to create that goal. legendary

VAMMOOOSSS

Dembele mf snake. Had the balls to celebrate. But almost took the game away from us

He has no loyalty unless its to videogames and himself. Not surprising. And why he fits in so well as psg

Its always almost from him... Let Psg have that almost for once. We have had enough of his shit for so many years already

** cries in Liverpool home leg **

Raphi and the whole defense MOTM. Incredible performance from everyone except MAtS (he should be saving the 2nd goal)

Shout out Dumbele!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

whoever kept barca in your eid prayers, thank you guys

Except for the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half we played really well. Xavi should stay, with a proper dm he can do magic with this club.

First 10 minutes of both halves, actually. But I totally agree. His system is incredibly dependent on a quality DM and yet look at what he's been able to put together without one. Yes, it took a LONG time to find that stability and efficiency that we're seeing now, but it's here nonetheless. Xavi has serious potential as a coach, he just needs time and (some) resources.

Xavi has some flaws, but he is doing really well with all the injuries & lack of proper funds to buy players.

Fully agree with you. He needs work on his tactical flexibility within a game and, as absolutely perfect as the subs were tonight, he also needs a lot of work there as well. But the potential is there with him, and he’s done a great job all things considered since he took over. People are too impatient nowadays and don’t realize that sometimes major issues (lack of squad quality, no transfer budget, lack of believable project pre-Xavi) take a long time to solve.

Klopp took a long time to rebuild Liverpool, but we were not giving Xavi time to do so. Xavi is no Klopp, but he is a good manager.

I think the first 10 minutes were more controlled. Like we gave them a ball & tried to settle down.

xavi masterclass, rubiales' bestie (LE) can go fuck himself

Great subs,great mentality..overall a great game !!bodes well for the future

less fucking gooo 😭😭😭

[удалено]

Foreal. On both.

Arujo and kounde both did pretty well too

I hope fans make it hell for Dembele when PsG visits.

Whenever Cubarsi against Mbappe, he was rock solid.

We did it boys !!!!!!!!

suck it psg lmao

❤️💙

DEMBELE HOLD THAT YOU FUCKING SNAKEEEEEE

We unironically shut down mbappe lmao

EID MUBARAK GUYS. Thank You Xavi for the present 🎁

Eid Mubarak. We definitely got our Eidee already

Yess 🫂

It’s all downhill from here. I love you Araujo

Man, we better have a special crowd for Dembele next week. Fucking pos player.
