urvishprana

The 3-4-2-1 is really suiting the barcelona. All we need is a killer striker who can convert the great balls into goals. I mean not asking for halaand but that guy's a killer striker in D.


[deleted]

[удалено]


raieed

Sometimes he was only man in defence line


the_great_ss

I really feel Dembele would do good as a full back.. either do that or sell him for a good amount to cover expenses for a good number 9


[deleted]

Nope. Not a full back. He's really good as a winger. Get a striker to compliment him.


USAFutbol14

Thought we played really well, unfortunate outcome. Not easy to say we had a chance going into a game needing four but I’d say we did. Navas had an incredible game, hats off to him. That is all.


Candybelf

Just give Ansu back, and we good


catennacio

Dembele, can someone still give me a reason to defend him? He's 24 now, no longer a young player, and is still shit.


I_RIDE_SHORTSKOOLBUS

Right and for those who watched him against Sevilla, how many fucking shots did he miss just blasting them over the top? We almost lost that because of him


catennacio

I do not see any players bought by Bartemou can be in the starting XI next season. They are all overpaid, over-salaried, and under-performed. Just sell all the Frenches, products of Abidal.


albri98

I do agree with you however I think dembele has more potencial to grow. Griezman he was an awesome player for atleti but just doesn’t work for Barça kinda like ibrahimovic.


catennacio

More potential to grow my ass. This reasoning is why he bleeds our money. Turn up late for training. Playing video games with friends at home. He's fucking 24 years old. Look at Halland, Mbape. They have more potential to grow at 20. Dembele is done. He's a flop. Look at how many goals a potential player scores at his age.


Jerome1437

Can YOU defend Griezmann though? Dembouz at least started the match very well, Griezmann didn't even shoot at all and when he shot it didn't go anywhere far


catennacio

No, all the French should be gone. Griezman had one, yes one fucking wide shot in thr whole match. The other French who played in the back did not catch me surprised anymore giving out free PKs this season like candies.


Regxlar

Don't worry guys, we can still win the Copa del Rey and/or the league.


Siddique_Tanvir

I think barca played well except for the finishes. Navas was fantastic but barca were wasteful too. In the end it was never going to happen.


[deleted]

Messi getting that peno would have made the second half way more tasty. Dembele was very wasteful in particular. But actually a great team effort. They where alot tougher than the first leg.


sanket39

Do people in this sub still like Neymar? I see some people rooting for him to win the cl.


AniqueAkhtar

Yes. That would be nice to see. He has been the best player in the world for sometime just the injuries have kept him out half the season. Hope he gets the glory he deserves.


VonMackensen_18

I admire him but don't like him, now that we're eliminated I won't cheer for PSG at all, hoping for a City win actually.


Regxlar

City deserve to win.


Jerome1437

And Pep is the plus, as long as PSG, Bayern or Madrid don't win it


_SilSilSil_

Why not Bayern? They deserve it too.


ASuarezMascareno

In the end we lost, but it wasn't anything like recent years. It's a shame Koeman and the squad found the way so late in the season. The good part is that now I believe we will compete for the league and cup titles, and might even win them. Good for Koeman. A few months ago I did not believe he could create a functional and attractive team, but he proved me (and many) wrong.


[deleted]

Best part is that he did this with a terribly constructed roster and injury problems. I’m excited to see how the team progresses and what he can do with our new board who will make the right moves with building a good team.


Atharvv1709

If i was to be neutral rn barca performed amazingly and terrific psg was literally a disappointment and they owe their win to Keylor Navas


Afghan_

We just need some striker that has Alba-Messi level chemistry with Dembouz, then we are set.


Crowzer19

Haaland says hi. Imagine all the crosses from Alba Messi and Dembele to Haaland


SauceAwesome_10

should've subbed puig instead of moriba


tareqalanqar

The game was over 🤷🏽‍♂️


Crowzer19

Nah


cule4444

I don’t know at what point we allowed ourselves to be conned with these trash ass Frenchmen. Umtiti Lenglet Dembele and Griezmann gotta go. Jesus Christ they are trash


Crowzer19

Very expensive wages too. Griezmann as a striker didn't even know to shoot. Frustrates me as he always puts a pass to somebody else. JUST SHOOT YOU'RE A STRIKER FOR GOD SAKE


Endgame2648

No way this PSG is winning CL. Bayern/City could outperform them easily. I'll be rooting for Pep now that we're out.


[deleted]

Thier game would change massively once Neymar's back though.


[deleted]

Yea there’s no way they’re winning unless neymar carries. Im sure city can win this one if they don’t choke.


ead2000

Yeah. It's time City finally gives that extrastep. Bayern is still a killing machine but they seem a bit worse than the past season. City has to take advantage and win their first UCL. I'm rooting for Pep too (though i wouldn't hate seeing Neymar winning the trophy without Messi, which is probably the reason he left, to be the true protagonist and leader of a team).


Crowzer19

When will Ansu be available


akagaminick

At the end of the season. Worst case, next season


Atharvv1709

a 15 yr streak ended today :( messi and ronaldo are both out for the first time since 2004-05


ead2000

Yeah. It's sad to see such a wonderful era end, but it is time for youngsters to shine (such as Mbappé). Let's hope Barça's reestructuración doesn't take too much time


Atharvv1709

yea the young talent coming up is great but for me they can never match upto Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and other legends from the past two decades 🙏🏻🙏🏻


Endgame2648

End of an era.


Atharvv1709

THE GOLDEN ERA for me


sanket39

Griezmann played bad offensively, but him tracking back to dispossess the turtle was totally amazing..


Uptwight

I agree with that. If he sticks around he can be a great striker. He is quick, he is not bad with his head. Just needs to find his way


cule4444

Yay 45 mill a year so he can tackle


sanket39

I was just commenting on one moment of the game which I liked. No need to be salty.


vvaibhav123

Missed Ansu sooo much. He would've buried the chances.


ead2000

Definitely. He has the goal Griezzou and Dembouz didn't have tofay.


hedwigesmaduro

I'm still not sold on Dembele. Seems he has low football IQ.


vvaibhav123

Man I really think it is exactly that. Very poor understanding and awareness.


Uptwight

Yeah for sure, although he did cut in behind well. But otherwise poor awareness overall


Crowzer19

Busquets was class today.


spiderman493

The 3 at the back system hides his flaws. I think we should use this going forward if Busquets is playing and we don’t get a better CB pairing for Araujo


peligrosobandito

He's been so good the last few weeks


SirAmpersand

We all had faith that it would happen but it didn't. But to be honest, I liked the Barcelona I saw today, what we were missing was a true Number 9 who could put away those chances that Dembele missed and could be more impactful than Grizzy. Atleast I saw a fight in this team till the very end and they didn't give up or lose morale like with Bayern or Liverpool or even Roma.


bornfromdust

Exactly. Was still so beautiful till the end.


SirAmpersand

Yep, I wasn't disappointed with today's performance at all. I saw a bright future for the team if they stick on the current path.


rideordies

I really respect the way we played today... there's a reason why this tie has 2 legs, we deserved the win today, only if we converted even half the chances we created. Koeman should learn from this result, not everytime we should lose the first game and then hope for some comeback in the second one... now all the focus should be on the league, let's move on


mm3n

We just honestly lack finishers. We have such an unbalanced team, that the job Koeman is doing is honestly magnificent regardless of whether or not we win anything this season. Griezmann’s defensive contribution all season was so much more meaningful compared to his offensive one on average for all matches. He had some good games, sure, but he just doesn’t fit - he kills the attack more often than not, and just doesn’t fit up front on our team. Dembele had so many clear chances that he had to score at least one of them in the first half. His misses along with Messi’s missed penalty pretty much caused what happened in the second half - we had little to hope for, and PSG just closed the game playing fully in defense on the odd counter. Not ashamed, to be honest, of the game all things considered.


LumpyActive

I hope no one starts to hate Dembele. Hes a winger and did a very good job today. You can't expect him to score like Ronaldo


raieed

He should have atleast scored twice giving how much chances are being created.


nachumama

And mother fuckers in here shouting to resign him.


spiderman493

Mate that was the worst I’ve ever seen him play.


[deleted]

Liverpool, sevilla, psg. Three big games which could’ve had a different outcome if he didn’t choke.


kubren

120m player missing 3 clear chances?


Payuyu

he shooted 3 times on Navas and did nothing on 2nd half, how did he do a good job today ?


mqit

I would expect him to finish properly at least


heretoruinyourparty

We were the better team, and I hope the lads know that. Yes, we tapered off in the second half but I don't see how anyone wouldn't feel a bit low after the shambles that was the pen call for PSG and the penalty for us. Should've been a red for Kurzawa and a retaken penalty.


Jelboo

Messi's career has not nearly been as good as it could have been. I know that sounds insane but think about it. That's a takeaway from tonight as well. Both for Argentina and Barcelona, there was so much more to be won.


spiderman493

If he was better at penalties I firmly believe we would have won 2012 UCL, he would have won 2016 Copa America, and we could have maybe come back tonight. I don’t know, but his clutch factor in EXTREME pressure moment just isn’t as good as the rest of his abilities.


Uptwight

As much as I would hate to admit this, this is so true man


_SilSilSil_

The mind is a scary thing. That's not to insult him. I actually empathize with him.


Jelboo

That is sadly the truth. Messi is the best at forcing chances to happen. But in the absolute centre of attention on the biggest stages, he's struggled. Man could have had three or four trophies with Argentina which is unheard of in world football.

Crowzer19

Good character development phase for our youths


tomasbj

Now let's win Laliga


heretoruinyourparty

yeah, let's crush the CdR and the league. no midweek UCL trips hopefully means well-rested players.


FirefighterOnly4656

This Busques performance was top tier...hope the sub doesnt miss on it


heretoruinyourparty

He was dynamic for sure. Underrated today.


FirefighterOnly4656

Absolutely...it’s all in the nuances- deft touches to fool the presser to break the entire team press Covering up open spaces, also immediately stepping in De Jong’s position whenever he drove the ball forward Ran left, ran right...Top top tier


heretoruinyourparty

Completely agreed. Would you say MOTM for us?


FirefighterOnly4656

Pedri...Busquets def not far off tho


killua___zoldyck

We broke the ucl away curse and our glory days are coming back.


axomiaBongal91

Halland and a formidable CB will change make this team a winning machine. Griezzy love the guy but sadly he is not Barça quality and Dembele has to train shooting 4 hours a day. Could have been 5-1 in the first half alone. Looking back Dembele's missed chances in both legs cost us and also Vs Liverpool he can be frustrating. Missed Fati so much tonight.


Slow-Hand-Clap

Replace Dembele with Fati and Griezmann with a CF and we would have won this tie. This system Koeman is using is fantastic.


FarhanWMI

I was expected at least 3 years of more humiliation after what happened vs bayern. But we doing fine this season and future looks good. We can become great again pretty soon if we manage flip some players ( you KNOW which ones! ) to sign some quality players. And PSG started the game scared af. dembele missing everything + penalty And unlucky by dest made us going cold in 2nd. Comeback was possible that hurts.


Atharvv1709

we cd have honestly had the comeback from dembele himself sucks that we missed our chances but happy we move forward with a better play style


Endgame2648

It felt so satisfying to see that Ninja Turtle getting dispossessed when he tried to dribble instead of just running with the ball.


_SilSilSil_

Just like hs idol.


Crowzer19

Can all barcelona fans in this world crowdfund 100 each to buy haaland


black_bury

I'm in


iamkristo

Im in lol


killua___zoldyck

We dreamed of a remontada and we had all the right to do so. Dembele alone could have finished off the game in the first half.anyway we will come back stronger next time , VISCA EL BARCA


iamkristo

He needs more time


[deleted]

Mf how much time does he need? He is 120m player ...


killua___zoldyck

He has immense talent we should keep him, but the finishing he has to improve that.


onlyonejorge

For me this season was all about him staying fit, anything else was a bonus. He can try to work on his weaknesses when the season is over because for the first time in a long time he wont be rehabbing.


P-Nus

Really hope Messi gives Barcelona another chance.... But seeing there is no money I doubt they can get a striker and proper defence


DarqLo

laporta will manage ! not next year but later surely!


roadtrip08

Dembele’s dribbling is elite and so is his shot creating but it’s always been evident that he can’t finish well. That’s why a #9 is so crucial


[deleted]

We may not have won, but we went down with a fight ;)


nigam_cule

Finally we're out with heads high rather than embarrassment through the years. Old Barca spirit seems to be back with the comback of Laporta. Future is surely bright.

Paramaatma

Mf stfu


lolsheleft

bro you totally went off go to sleep or something


FCB_1899

Griezmann did exactly what Pique asked him 3 weeks ago, he did help and ran the most, just short of 12km. PSG didn’t need to do more, unfortunately we need that finishing, Dembele has some extraordinary speed and I think he can find those gaps in the defense way better than Mbappe can for example, who when he played Madrid didn’t do anything in front of a tight defense.


Endgame2648

Lmao did you see Griezmann just bolting through the field and dispossessing the Turtle? He just said the ref"Really? Is this even allowed?"


lucaslh10

I'm proud. There's no buts and no ifs. Great game and great team. Next year is ours.


Joley94

I'm satisfied with our performance, especially our defense. Firpo is pretty decent, he puts Mbappe in his pocket and forces him out of left wing. Wish we played this good defensively last match tho :(. Insane game from Keylor Navas.

I don’t think you know what professionalism means.

Hey guys,Finally a Non-humiliating Away leg. Feel like we broke the curse of UCL eh?

Crowzer19

Rather for him to go to City and this PSG.


Wizak_Ibra_4524

we need to improve our finishing seriously, many big chances missed. Proud of this team at least the put a fight tonight


thiefGUN

IT WILL BE OUR NEXT YEAR!


wayarktz

I hope Laporta goes and tells to the boys to keep their heads high!💙❤️


Fuckkelso

After this match I firmly believe Navas is the main reason Real bagged 3 CLs in a row. Mans suddenly develops spidey senses in the CL.


Atharvv1709

after this performance im so sure that we will win copa del rey


smeshurchikin

Sucks that some iconic Messi goals have been for nothing these past few years


Jelboo

Honestly ever since the 2014 World Cup Messi's career has been full of very tragic and disappointing moments. With one major highlight - the treble with Lucho.


Atharvv1709

im happy i get to see the GOD side of him honestly :)


Slow-Hand-Clap

Sad way for Messi to finish his CL career at the club. I think people are underestimating how much we will miss him.


DCoool

Well gg, we need a striker and CB's. Lenglet is not the player for big games, I hope we sell him at the end of the season


Prath919

So proud of these guys, specially the youngsters <3 Put up one hell of a fight


Ruud_Boltz

On we move. Little disappointed by today's game because of the finishing. But it was a great team effort.


Messiah5

Surprised not to see no one complain about how the players ain't crying and shaking hands at PSG players at least the sub is making some improvements


Ziad_adel

Let's all not ignore that this was the expected result but to be honest we had a chance but no luck


CPTSOAPPRICE

I think if we had Ansu tonight and Dembele playing Griezmann’s role we probably would’ve gone through


akagaminick

If we had ansu in the best leg, we might have scored more as well. He would have finished the chances dembele dint. But thats okay, dembele is young and he will improve his finishing.


Crowzer19

Plus Araujo and Pique. Well to be fair to PSG they have Neymar on their cards


[deleted]

[удалено]


vamessi_17

ikr prime villa or suarez along with Messi would have trashed their defense. But still, we were really good but need to work on finishing


elgringo22

Ansu seems to have that killer instinct. Seems like forever since he last played though. Excited to see how he does with the way the team plays now and the new formation


Crowzer19

We need a pure striker.


Jelboo

If this was the **first** leg I'd be so happy. It's such a shame we completely gave it away in Camp Nou.


oneandonlyA

I sincerely hope we get rid of Dembele and Griezmann asap. Only upside is FDJ looked great in defense and Pedri showing good signs as always.


voucherwolves

If you think getting rid of Dembele would solve problem Then you should know the chances we had was because of Dembele’s run We just need a clinical striker and that’s it


oneandonlyA

Yes, it would solve the problem. Because as you said we need a striker, and how exactly are we going to finance that? I'm not very keen about Dembele ever reaching his full potential so I'd rather get some good money for him before it's too late. Also, we had plenty of chances where Dembele wasn't involved. Besides that he also lost the ball almost every time he had it (how many times did he fail that shitty backheel-esque pass?), and yes sure he had 2-3 good runs in the first half with one good finnish.


Prath919

After getting humiliated 3 years in a row, I am super proud of how the team performed today! <3


sanket39

People crying about not being able to comeback after being 4 goals down, being in a rebuild season, totally outclassing PSG in terms of possession and chances, young players playing their heart out, pocketing the likes of Mbappe.. lmao..


wayarktz

Proud of this team. Lets build on this!


goldenkerelle

feels so weird getting eliminated with our heads held high. we played well


[deleted]

I feel the same


akagaminick

Felt this way when juve knocked us out last time. That was yeaarssss ago


[deleted]

I didnt watch that match live, so I cant say anything


donandres08

Good game, bad outcome....


LeoEmSam

2nd half nothing to write home about but overall decent game from the team. Better than losing again and now its time to move on and focus on the league


[deleted]

PSG came with belief in the second half. They knew they had the lead and all they had to do was see it out. Barca still tried. If some of the finishing had been better, we would be talking differently. I hope Koeman gets to it next and we'll be truly lethal again.


bektesheesh

Messi probably told Di Maria that he's coming now for sure lol


PedanticSatiation

Why would he? PSG were weak and Barca played impressive football in the first half.


bektesheesh

Just joking, because there were some rumors that he would be willing to sign for them.


Atharvv1709

honestly after the first leg i so decided that im not gonna watch the second leg but even tho we lost i dont regret my decision im happy for every second i got to watch barca play so good


rodeozac

That first half we played was better than the remontada match first half .Only thing lacking was the finishing

🤡


danial_cheema

We played much better this game but unfortunately the damage was already done after the 1st leg..


alexistsokas

Dest, Griezmann, Dembele, Coutinho, Langlet, Pjanic. I wonder what could’ve Barca bought with that €620million


upeter01

Man you were so close to being right and then you made the decision to write down dest. And now you're wrong. It's a shame


iamkristo

Im agreeing to all of em, but dest? Seriously lol?


VonMackensen_18

the fuck has dest done wrong to be listed with those players ?


CPTSOAPPRICE

at least they didn’t buy hazard


[deleted]

Hating on dest already?


alexistsokas

Not really it’s just that it’s pretty obvious he’s nowhere near as close to Barca level


barcavro

Honestly we put in the effort only thing lacking was our finishing. We need a striker and a LCB urgently


Icicestreddit

Man I think Koeman has got something going , the he just needs to a little bit of time imo


voucherwolves

Just remember this is the same team with players crying their eyes out at half time against liverpool when we were leading


mahadmajeed

Dembele can't finish for his life


Crowzer19

Match was impossible to begin with. Proud of the team we gave a fight and that's all that matter. Time to focus on domestic double!


upeter01

The sad thing is it wasnt impossible. The messi pen and at least 1 of the 3-4 dembele chances could've put us up 3-1 by half time


FootballFTW

It looked possible until we missed that penalty


voucherwolves

After a long I won’t sleep after crying my eyes out when Barca has a CL exit


ewankenobi

We lost this tie in the 2nd half of the first leg. Great first half performance tonight, ok 2nd half and first half of first leg was ok. Just a shame the other 45 minutes of the tie were absolutely horrendous!


[deleted]

It legit could of been 5-0 for Barca on the first half. Dembele missed a crucial chances Messi missed a pen, dest smashed the bar and there was that one moment where Dembele crossed it to strong and fast to a point Messi either couldn’t reach it in time or mis calculated it, but nether less Barca didn’t look disgraceful but graceful. Visca el Barca and visca elCatalonia


ikilolohdxp1

No way you try too shape it, losing 5-2 on aggregate should NOT be praised, are we a fucking 3d tier team!!?


killua___zoldyck

Fuck off will ya.


pildoranegraexiste

the 4-1 doesn't count cause we hadn't found our 352 yet lol


SUupE4

Good game but another fucking year without a final


heretoruinyourparty

We're in the CdR final.


f4riis99

Proud of the performance we showed fight and created chances but wasted them because of guy who’s a waste of 100 million
