Champions League 2025/26

[Dan]

The worst of Newcastle as well though. Barca really haven't had to do a lot to score 4 times here.

[foxfanazer]

Devastating 

[Finnegan]

Ridiculous how good Fermin Lopez is. Goes completely under the radar in some ways because of Yamal and to an extent Pedri. 

 

He's so good for his age.

It's 5  

[Wymsey]

Quite a collapse.

It'll be interesting to see if Michael Carrick can convince Rashford to return to Old Trafford.

PL teams have conceded 26 (!!!!!) goals in this round already. 

And there are more to come tonight. 

[Super_horns]

Barcelona upped their game and showed the quality they have .

[Dan]

6-2

 

Jesus Christ.

This is the flip side of the Premier League - I think the teams at the top are relatively weak, but Newcastle are a great advert for the strength of the league, sat 9th and they're clearly a good team.

 

It feels a more balanced league than it used to.

 

 

Do you wish you'd waited til full time 

 

[Nalis]

Vermin Lopez is another dirty wee rat of the Barca conveyor belt

Probably a bit  

[Nalis]

Newcastle havent turned up in this half at all. Three decent half and one awful half of a half and they are 7-3 down. Barca superb obviously.

[leicesterisme]

Barca are absolutely brilliant to watch, hopefully the next trend is for teams to copy the way they play and football might actually start to become enjoyable again

[Fear Of The Fox]

I think Premier League needs to let all these "big" teams violate every single rule in football and then fine them just £10. We need to be more competitive next season... 

[AKCJ]

What a signing Lewandowski has been for Barcelona.

 

4 seasons, 117 goals.

 

Worth £45m of anyones money.

Absolutely ruining our coefficient

 

[Nalis]

Cant fault Newcastle for giving it a go, difference in quality came through in this second half for Barcelona

 

Potential semi final of Barcelona v Arsenal will be a crazy contrast in styles

[Finnegan]

Losing 6-2 but don't worry here comes Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres

Arsenal will completely kill and football and shithouse a 1-0 at home and draw at Barca

Ferran isn't particularly scary but Olmo is a quality footballer. Kept a close eye on him ever since we were linked to him back in the day.

What happened then? Can't the Saudi butchers attract top players in exotic Newcastle?

I'm not sure. Arsenal can't go man to man against this team and I think Barca's midfield would eat Arsenal's alive.

 

Barcelona will do all they can to ensure it's not a fight and Arsenal don't have the quality that Barcelona do.

[Fear Of The Fox]

Looks like this new Champions League format has been a huge success... Only one competitive game in round 16 so far (Sporting-Bodo). 

[bmt]

Could easily get to 10 this
