If I was at IFAB, it would be a straight red for any goal kick which doesn't carry to the halfway line.

Hans-Dieter 'Binsi' Flick. Adolf Binler. Binmann Goering. Recycling-bin Heydrich.
Bayern
The pass over the top by Goretzka was brilliant.
Someone give this Hansi lad a knighthood and the keys to the sport. See someone sticking this much of finger up to Messi's talents (Davies helps) and being rewarded with a raping
This is going to be a real dicking.
It's always good to see a fellow Big Club being led out of its post-2013 malaise. The Super Cup NARRATIVE writes itself if they bother with it.
This should see Barca’s manager sacked. Yes, they’re an inferior side, and yes, physically they can’t compare. But the tactics they’ve employed are ridiculous. Playing straight into Bayern’s hands.
Got Steve Fucking McManaman with his 90s footballing education and 60s perm talking of a Barcelona defensive failure muchlike the other day with whoever it was doing City-Real. Shut the fuck up amd drink it in
Fucking De Jong and Suarez looking to break from the halfway line is some lols.
City Bayern, assuming City don't fuck up against Lyon which I guess is always a possibility (I'm sure they did as much a few years ago in the groups) could be a game for the ages.
Enjoyable as this has been it doesn't compare to the blitzkreig Jupp unleashed on Barca way back when. They've been a shambles for a while and they've gone next level binman with this Disciple of Cruijff nitwit (god bless his heftily well feathered retirement nest). Maybe they can tempt Arteta out of Arsenal or Brendan to sort them out.
Bayern's defence is a mess as well, it should be noted.
Barcelona will go binman (Xavi) next.
Isn't he waiting for the next president, whenever that is decided?
Also, Coutinho, Dembele and Griezmann. £300m+ of Barcelona spending starting on the bench, nearly half of which is on the other team's bench. That's their problem in a nutshell.
I don't watch Barca, but apparently they've looked really good the few times they've played with Messi as a 10 behind Suarez and Griezmann, but they immediately revert back the next game every time.
Alphonso Davies is brilliant.
Fucking hell Alphonso Davies.
Davies
I'm sorry, Pique has been paid off. Literally what was he doing there? He walked backwards and gave him a free run through.
Spanish John Stones. He's always been crap.
Hmm. I think the ‘really good’ has always been relative to their other performances. Still stodgy and terrible in midfield and defensively.Originally Posted by randomlegend
5-2 lol?
Tyler Adams scored winning goal yesterday
Alphonso Davies still running riot
MLS baby
Coutinho should score and do an Adebayor.
Thiago is a don
Barca probably forgot to put a clause in the deal to prevent him from playing
Pussy couldn't even be bothered to celebrate.
I liked Messi losing the ball in the build up and barely being bothered to walk back towards his goal.
The commentators made it sound like that's not allowed in the Champions League but I'm not sure.
Oh let him get a hat trick ffs
This is the end of Barca in the Messi era. No way back from this with their financial problems.
Hilarious what they’ve done with Coutinho.
It's not.
This ref's been great with the Barca players
Do Barca need to drop the binman model? Read more in the Athletic.
Hopefully there is a fan movement against Lionel Messi being a wage hog and ruining everything, like that brief turn against Siralex Ferguson for leaving David Moyes a load of shit as if he meant to do it.
After the fifth or sixth or twelfth or whatever goal it was, I wondered whether he’ll leave. Must really want another CL before he retires.
That must be the worst I’ve ever seen them play. I mean the Liverpool and PSG games of recent years weren’t great but that was dreadful.
Fun game. PSG drawing Leipzig is some luck because Bayern and Man City must be comfortably the best teams.
Barcarsenal
8-2's one of those scorelines that feels like end of an era/staring into the abyss sort of stuff.
Just goes to show at the very top level you simply cannot carry individuals. Attackers must defend.
I'm feeling not bad about our 7-1 aggregate shoeing now.
Lol at Messi. One CL in ten years and he was carried by Neymar for it. A lot of humiliations along the way too
The dream not-gonna-happen scenario is that Barcelona properly go off the deep end, give Messi a player-manager role and he drives them into 12th place.
The slightly more realistic dream scenario is that he joins Neymar at PSG for a billion quid a week and still doesn't win the Champions League again.
The one in 11 doesn’t count?
Barca(mate) manager gone already by the sounds of it.
Bit much expecting him to have got his maths right. At least he's had a go ffs.
Yeah, but even their defenders weren't defending.
Not sure why all the Messi bashing on here. The man is the most talented player to ever grace a football pitch.
It’ll be over 10 years by the time he could win another. How’s your ITK going son x
The Ronaldo fanboys winning the long game. I think it was only us and Multi at one point battling away.
Whilst Barca's transfer policy has been fucking awful for 10 years, Messi demanding that they sign better players whilst picking up £600k-£1.2m a week of the wage budget is a little ballsy.
Unconfirmed reports that Barca will have to pay out some sweet sweet add-on money to Liverpool if Coutinho wins the Champions League with Bayern. That'd be beyond funny.
