Well at least we now know why the goonies sacked their entire scouting team

Instead they are now basically one of the super agents bitches, the very thing they constantly used to slate everyone else for. Pathetic cuck of a club.

Young player of the year is Alexander-Arnold. This one is deserved IMO.

Weird to now have to comment on Willian on this thread, now he's a Gooner.

Can’t wait to chuckle to myself every time they get a corner that’ll be wasted...

At least he`ll finally start hitting Chelsea players....

Tonight it should be an entertaining one. Bayern certainly the favorites but no one ever should rule Barcelona out. If Messi has his night they will go through IMO. But I would prefer Bayern to win it.

The difference Messi makes to Barcelona is amazing. They played Liverpool last season, and Messi had a great game and they battered Liverpool, then in the second leg, Messi just couldn't get into the game and Barcelona went out.

True story. And it's been pretty much like that since Neymar had left. Suarez sometimes occurs with a flash of brilliance but Messi is literally carrying them game after game.

Their chances in this game depend on him only.

Bayern is in a better form but Barcelona has a good squad, their own fault for allowing everything to go through Messi and Messi only. Griezmann and Rakitic on the bench because they don't bow down to him enough...

1-1 already. I can't decide which team I want to win, both are equally disagreeable.

For the Messi man love, Barca for me, never liked the arrogant Bayern, Neuer especially.....

I don't have any love for Messi, and Suarez is a nasty piece of work. Neuer has an unpleasant demeanour, I agree, but it's the entitlement of Bayern I can't stand.

And  now Bayern are 4-1 up, 30 minutes played! At least it isn't boring  What kind of match is this! I'm starting to think we didn't do so badly against them after all

3-1 already & just half an hour into the game; puts our March in perspective. Will be a long night for Barca

Barcelona are getting battered

Remember someone on another thread saying Jorginho (mind you a good player) would be perfect in this Bayern side. Ahead of who? Thiago who is usually their creative hub is having an off night, & they are still bartering Barca.

Swear i never saw this score, at the start BM looked sh*te with there high line!

bayern are lucky though cos they could of easily been 3-1 down, the useless commentator on with Steve Mc is total garbage (BT Sport)

Right, we are better than Barsa, and I still think that Bayern this March has been the best team I've ever seen at the Bridge, and we only lost 0-3 because of defensive errors in the second half that opened the gates.

Looking at the repetition of Boateng's yellow, which is deserved, but Suarez only gets the ball gfrom Thiago stepping his studs on Thiagos foot, which I think should be a yellow to that dirty, biting bastard.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Bayern are an excellent team, but Barcelona have had problems defensively for a long time now and they have always ignored it. Barcelona have been looking down on the defensive side of football for years and the past 4 seasons it has come back to hurt them. Lost 4-0 to PSG (turned it around in the 2nd leg though) then they lost 3-0 to Roma, then Liverpool thrashed them 4-0 and now Bayern are currently winning 4-1. 

They have been awful in the transfer market too. They either buy players that don't suit them or players that just aren't good enough. But their tactics are the biggest issue. They never seem to have a defensive plan, it's all about attack, no matter who they play. They can be playing against the best players in the world, like they are now, and they still don't change their approach.

Excellent football in the first half. 

Bayern are looking great, I want more from them. (i just hate Barcelona so much that I'm ready to support Bayern in the game)

Let's hope that Barcelona will put more attacking football to keep the high level of the game.

Both teams have been wide open in defence with their high line, the big difference have been Bayerns superb pressing game in attack and midfield. 

Bayern are so freaking good !! Always love seeing Barca getting smacked, i dislike them so much.

The 4-1 scoreline makes our limp effort look a bit better and oh lets recall we had one or two omissions due to injury. 

Messi can only play well against outsiders, as soon as a big teams comes he's done.
