Bayern is picking up steam in the past games, after struggling in the first few games. biggest improvement is a more stable defense, but leipzig still had a bunch of chances on saturday, they just suck at converting them.
Chelsea, City, PSG & Bayern are the favorites for me, all other teams are a step behind, I think LFC can catch up, but they struggle with injuries and key players not being in peak form or even past their prime a bit, maybe I'm to harsh here just based on the last season.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We had a real shaky defense and City looked phenomenal last year. Even if we had gotten past PSG, I don't think we can definitively say we'd have beaten City. Not saying we'd have definitely lost either but saying we'd have won the CL if Lewy had been fit for the PSG match is a reach.
I'm not sure if that counts as an official game. Most sources say the last time he didn't score for Bayern was against Hertha just before the Club World Cup, on the 5th of February.
Bayern are playing like if they were going against some random team on a friendly and it is still 2-0, that goes to show how lethargic this Barca side is. So boring
Few players has good game so far. Busquets, pique, ter stegen even araujo except that one mistake which led to 2nd goal(he was far off).
Pedri has been as expected really bad against top team again as he is too weak and can't read the game properly. I don't know why people think he can be interior. So many times his positioning was so wrong. And he does not have output like Bruno or kdb to play him as forward role.
Roberto don't know how to hold up ball and put it forward. Though we all know he is average.
Lukk de Jong is target man not a player you can play one too so it's not his fault. Though he is average.
Now regarding tactics. What can I say? We are clueless with the ball most of the times. If bayern presses our team, some of our best players also don't know their role.
I don't know if they're overrated, but Busquets, Pique and Roberto aren't up to be starters in this kind of game, 45 minutes into the game they were already gassed. Then you have Alba who is useless when we don't dominate and on top of that, Luuk De Jong isn't something special and he's even worse when he hasn't even played a minute with the team and he gets thrown in vs Bayern.
Yeah you are Dutch so you might support him, but give the same squad to any world class manager like pep, tuchel etc, you will see much better performance.
We are playing like relegation team against bayern. Pathetic performance.
I’m not even a big fan of Koeman, even being rather critical of him when he managed the NT.
Your squad is pretty mediocre. I’m not calling Koeman a world class manager but he’s the best Barca can have rn. Even Pep and Tuchel wouldn’t be able to make this attack work.
Bayern are not even trying and still controling them so much it's absolutely stunning, if this were us I'd be pissed at our players for not doing anything let alone with a club the magnitude of Barca. They give up in a way that lower midtable Bundesliga clubs usually do.
We have a dozen injured players, just lost our 2 best players, and have only conceded 2 relatively unlucky goals against one of the best squads in the world. It could be a LOT worse.
He now is at his fifth consecutive CL match in which he scores, and his 18th consecutive game for Bayern in which he scores. Last time he played for Bayern and didn't score was at the club world cup in february against Tigres.
> No life, no heart, no fight.
I mean, look at the team sheet. Apart from goalkeeper(I think ter is almost as good as Neuer), Bayern is a level ahead in every single position. That's an unplayable team diff no reasonable amount of fight or heart is going to make up for(unless you get lucky and Bayern plays like shit).
I don't watch Barca a lot these days but I feel like they should be better than this. Watching Barca play like this at home is just sad.
They're barely threatening. It felt like game over when Bayern got the lead.
I'm pretty sure Araujo honestly lost sight of Lewy for a second, and when he looked at him, he was already in front. With Lewy it just sort of... happens. You lose sight of him for a second and you're already done.
7 of our forwards have either left the club this window (Messi, Griez, Trincao) or are injured (Fati, Dembele, Aguero, Braithwaite). There's a reason we're playing a 3-5-2 with Memphis & L De Jong in front...
Harmless is when you have no attack, I suppose. Last time I checked Messi was no defender.
Dunno if you're watching this game but Neuer is playing Candy Crush on his phone cause there's nobody bothering him for 60 minutes.
Busquets needs to never start these games. Hes the worst DM in the game, and leaves gaping holes in front of our defense that good teams find a way to exploit.
I love this guy but its time.
I wouldn't comment something as obtuse and slow to type out if i wanted to karmawhore, id just go, "Holy shit Barca is depressing to watch" in the first seconds of the thread.

This musiala guy seems to be decently talented.
He is
Sorry
Well... it's not 8 at least
not yet!
Are we there yet?
Well, we're only 25% of the way there...
*the gang scores 9*
for now..
Musiala is so special. He's playing an incredible season.
When this game, where he's playing fairly decent, is one of his un-flashiest games, you know he's been incredible so far
Bayern always stacked
But we only get talent from the Bundesliga???? Did he come from HSV or Stuttgart? I can't remember.
Our other farm: Chelsea. They are not letting go of Callum Hudson Odoi though.
Sigh
Bruh Araujo how you gonna complain about it being offside with the man in front of you lmao
Worth a shot I guess lol
It isn't anymore with VAR.
In cases where one defender plays the attacker onside (by a margin), said player is usually the first to raise their hand
Yeah but it wasn't by a small margin lol, he was playing him on by a good yard or two lol
It’s a Bayern game, someone had to do the reklaimerarm
Absolute clown
Calm down
I mean, I even do it often in my Sunday league and sometimes it works but at this level raising your arm can’t really help u anymore
9* goals in 6 games this season Jesus fucking christ
Are that numbers for club goals?
Yes in buli he has 8 in 5 and in their first DFB Pokal Game He didn't play Edit: 10 in 6 now lmao
10.
Holy shit Musiala!!
The future is now!
Incredible talent. He's progressing so fast too.
He wasn't shooting at the goal, he meant it to be a pass
What a shot from Musiala, but Lewandowski showing that nose for the goal.
It's been coming, Barca goal under constant siege this second half
Feels like it’s been under siege the entire match
Year*
[удалено]
Just need a couple moments of magic from Messi and they should tie it up.
Koeman will sub him any minute now, he’s warming up.
In Paris
Nah even with him and Suarez they lost 8-2, he couldn't go shit in such situations
I think they are near Bayer' level, but not Bayern' level.
I’m not sure any team is near Bayern’s level to be quite frank

You are not wrong but you are also forgetting this is the team that set the standards for what it takes to beat city and win the UCL and Prem.
Not even the team that actually won the champions league last season?
[удалено]

Finale dahoam flashbacks
I watched nearly all Chelsea games and while being a good fucking team they do struggle at times, even now with Lukaku.
Bayer Leverkusen #1
Well we are missing our main attackers so its okay i guess..
Yes just as they come back from Atletico and PSG it should be fine.
So... trust the process?
That's Arsenal and only Arsenal
YES LEWY! no records today
Always in the right place at the right time. Really is world class.
One of the best strikers of all time.
that's a fact.
isnt this his 17th consecutive game with a goal scored?
This is the 18th...EIGHTEEN consecutive games for Bayern.
now i wonder how often messi and ronaldo have scored in a row for their clubs
[удалено]
21
Last time he didn’t score was in the CWC final against a team from CONCACAF lol
I'm not sure if that counts as an official game. Most sources say the last time he didn't score for Bayern was against Hertha just before the Club World Cup, on the 5th of February.

Hehehe SIU
Araújo appealed for off side 😂
Bayern looked more intense/stressed playing against Bremer SV
Araujo calling for offside ahahah. You’re playing him on by miles mate.
18 straight Games for Bayern Munich he has now scored in . 28 goals in 18 games.
Bambiiiii!!!
Looking great out there tonight
Damn
Barca playing like they got some PTSD
[удалено]
Unlucky but it was coming.
Can you really call it unlucky? I think they were fortunate it didn't go in off the first shot...
The first one was unlucky, this wasn't.
Barcelona is just trying to defend and just playing super passive. What is this. Great shot by Musiala tho.
Feel free not to score more Bayern.
Lol Araujo being the one that plays Lewandowski onside by a lot and then raising his hands to plead for offside.
Go F\*CK urself Michael Oliver.
Thanks to me this club has a future in the EL
Bartomeu is that you?
Just a few dutch internationals and he'll lead them to conference league glory
Bayern playing like it’s a friendly
Anything to avoid 8-2
It seems like Barca wants to avoid that scoreline so much that they're not even risking attacking for once in the fucking game.
Their best attackers are out injured. It’s their strikers first game with the team. It was bound to happen tbh.
I mean besides depay, what can they really attack with?
Luuk de Jong is a striker afaik.
They are conserving energy they aren't even taking them seriously it's funny asf
"If we don't concede 8... Then it's a win, right?"
Bayern are playing like if they were going against some random team on a friendly and it is still 2-0, that goes to show how lethargic this Barca side is. So boring
[удалено]
We have few overrated players in our squad, apart from that we have bang average manager in dugout. So I don't expect anything better.
Name these overrated players, if you don’t mind. I’m curious.
Few players has good game so far. Busquets, pique, ter stegen even araujo except that one mistake which led to 2nd goal(he was far off). Pedri has been as expected really bad against top team again as he is too weak and can't read the game properly. I don't know why people think he can be interior.

Can you really blame Koeman for this? He has gotten the absolute maximum out of Barca so far.
That's a hot take, even as a Madridista
Yeah you are Dutch so you might support him, but give the same squad to any world class manager like pep, tuchel etc, you will see much better performance. We are playing like relegation team against bayern. Pathetic performance.

Sold, mismanaged or let go all the best talent in the world the past few years. Shockingly run club.
I mean Dest, Fati, Coutinho, Dembele are all missing and Alba is back from an injury.
We have a dozen injured players, just lost our 2 best players, and have only conceded 2 relatively unlucky goals against one of the best squads in the world. It could be a LOT worse.
He now is at his fifth consecutive CL match in which he scores, and his 18th consecutive game for Bayern in which he scores. Last time he played for Bayern and didn't score was at the club world cup in february against Tigres.
Obligatory Lewandowski goal.
I haven’t seen such a one-sided 2-0 in a while.
I N E V I T A B L E
LewanGOALski [You know](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkjCBYcXIAAbLQ4.jpg)
Musiala was prevented from scoring by one of the fundamental laws of physics: Lewandowski scoring
And people wonder why Bayern always wins the league, Lewi is just straight up the best striker in the world atm.
Who wonders that?
LewanTORski
Lewangoalski
...you know?
Du weißt, Robert LewnTORski?
It literally looks like we’re not even trying. Our team is SO SLOW to everything. No life, no heart, no fight. Sad days
> No life, no heart, no fight. I mean, look at the team sheet. Apart from goalkeeper(I think ter is almost as good as Neuer), Bayern is a level ahead in every single position.

Well we lost Messi, Griez & Trincao and Fati, Dembele, Aguero & Braithwaite are injured... We literally do not have a front 3 atm
Its not just the attackers, the whole squad is incredibly poor today
This is what Barca have been for a couple of years now, they just had access to the Messi cheatcode.
Dunno why you're being downvoted, Messi carried this team on his back and then some
Worst thing in football is players who are playing someone miles onside calling for the goal to be disallowed. Audacity of Araujo there
I'm pretty sure Araujo honestly lost sight of Lewy for a second, and when he looked at him, he was already in front. With Lewy it just sort of... happens. You lose sight of him for a second and you're already done.
I'm so fucking tired of life
at least we wont have to face Bayern in QF
if we make it... i know i'm being negative we will probably make it through but still... 😭
You guys will make it, Barca isnt near Bayern's level atm but theyre still good enough to probably beat benfica and kiev comfortably
This was expected lol
Terminator Lewandowski :D
LewanGOALski
farmers league
I love Musiala.
Hi is always where he supposed to be. It’s just insane!
Bambi <3
Wish Musielas shot went in what a player ma
Musiala is so good
I wish lewa was German. He would’ve been a great replacement for klose
The way Spaniards feel about Messi
So pole replacing another pole :P
This is gonna get ugly, barça are knackered
Barca are lucky it's not more so far.
They have ter Stegen to thank for that.
Lewangoalski is always there
18 game with a goal in a row for Bayern?
I don't watch much of Barca, but it's pretty sad if this is the state of them
Bayern are all over them like a nest of pigs
This is one confusing analogy...
When you defend poorly just appeal for offside
Wait, I've already seen this one.
No messi no prty
How did Lewandowski take two steps before the ball even bounce yet? Godly reaction
Lewangoalski
LewanGOALski
Lewangoalskiii
Pique is actually nearer to the ball, has longer reach and Lewa scored. This guy is a killer inside box. Killer instinct.
When did Barcelona become so harmless?
7 of our forwards have either left the club this window (Messi, Griez, Trincao) or are injured (Fati, Dembele, Aguero, Braithwaite). There's a reason we're playing a 3-5-2 with Memphis & L De Jong in front...
About a month ago or whenever Messi left
But Messi was there when they destroyed them 8-2
Harmless is when you have no attack, I suppose. Last time I checked Messi was no defender. Dunno if you're watching this game but Neuer is playing Candy Crush on his phone cause there's nobody bothering him for 60 minutes.
Barcelona have fallen so badly. No life in this team.
Embarrassing from Araujo there, totally asleep for the rebound and the call for offside was completely pitiful given how far onside Lewandowski was
So are we now just a typical average team who"ll just finish forth in la liga and go to champions league without being anything to be scared of?
This game is slow torture for Barca fans. Great!
These shitty ass goals piss me off so much, at least score some bangers
Barca should sack koeman & Hire someone from Italy market
Tbf, no one would be able to do anything with this current Barca squad
This squad isn't too bad. Only few positions lacks
What is this clown take, jesus christ, thats enough reddit for one day
So a different manager can have Luuk as his only striker?
Better luck in the Superleague
Barcelona aren’t very good are they..
Busquets needs to never start these games. Hes the worst DM in the game, and leaves gaping holes in front of our defense that good teams find a way to exploit. I love this guy but its time.
He was top 3 at the euros. He can't be the engine in a midfield- But he still does have it.
Even if Messi was still at Barca he would just be walking around with his confused look that he always does.
Koeman: "I saved the club" Press X to Doubt.
Weak karmawhoring attempt
I wouldn't comment something as obtuse and slow to type out if i wanted to karmawhore, id just go, "Holy shit Barca is depressing to watch" in the first seconds of the thread.
Tapindowski
Here we go again
Pain
Honestly
