Barcelona - Inter (24 Oct 18) [2-0]

[Palacio]

This is what we are up against. 40+ goals for the 10th consecutive year. The fucking GOAT!

How the fuck does a player score 91 goals in 1 year??

If Messi is still the old messi, he would have showed that in the world cup or in front of Roma last season.

have you looked at the rest of that Argentina squad? It was pathetic.

 

[PHM1605]

Many people are too optimistic. We haven’t even been sure of an Europa League spot yet
That’s the minimum point I aim for.

Okay, who on our team can score 40+ goals consistently. Insane it's been 10 straight years hes done it. More than 30 is what the benchmark is for every other striker to be named World Class

 

[Handoyo]

Messi never scored against Inter. Scored a lot against the rest of the top 10 European clubs and all nouveau-riche EPL clubs.
Let's keep it that way and be part of Messi's glorious legacy in that respect.
To be fair, he only played 4 times against us and in the same season.

I'm 90% sure that Messi (also Ibra too btw) missed the 2nd group stage game (Camp Nou)

 

[phonk]

Hard to say what the right approach to this game is. Even with 10 men behind the ball it will be very hard not to concede. Unfortunately our link up play is probably not good enough for scoring counter attacks. Our biggest hope in this game is to score from set pieces. In the away game I see very little chance to get a point, imo Barcelona are the best team in the world when it comes to home games.

You are correct.

0 in 3 then. Still zero

 

[Ramdac]

I am afraid this game going to be one of these games where we are going to be taught a hard football lesson, and we will be smashed down to Earth.

How can people still use this excuse for Messi? Not like Ronaldo had a star team playing in the Europe cup. Messi had a crazy team and played Copa America

Messi has players like Aguero next to him while Ronaldo has Quaresma

 

[JJM]

still here?! It's over...go home,we already won 3-0!

 

[Balor]

I feel somewhat assured that Messi won't hear us to shreds on the right hand side now that we have Asamoah to guard us at left back. But to think this time 12 months ago it would have been D'Ambrosio vs Messi

Are you sure Asamoah isn't injured at that time?

 

[Armes]

I just want Miranda in the back for this one.

 

[Balor]

Are you sure Asamoah isn't injured at that time?

I'd rather Asamoah out there on crutches defending against Messi than D'Ambrosio being humiliated by him and having no confidence left to do a decent job against the poorer sides we face like Frosinone, Empoli or AC Milan.

 

[dejavu]

Its crazy. We are still to play SPAL and Milan but the Barca thread is already 5 pages in.

I don't care about Copa America, Messi is known to deliver in CL. And I care about that because we play them next, twice in a row.

I see your point, but on the other hand, let's first play against Barcelona and then talk about excuses and how good Messi actually is.

 

[Sassuolu]

Football is a team sport., didnt think i had to point it out in a football forum.

Cambiasso made an excellent point tonight on tv he said Icardi is Inters best player why do we always expect more from him? We should expect more from the other players as well. This also applies for zmessi.

 

[chipschups]

21/10 vs Milan
24/10 vs Barca
27/10 vs Lazio

So how we gonna escape this? Rotational wise? Did we gonna let barca games since the odd is againts us and both milan lazio is important tir cl spot run.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

For whatever its worth, I'm seeing 9:30pm CET on 10/29 for the Lazio game, not the 27th.
