Kounde out of 2nd leg with hamstring injury, I think he's Barca's best defender in their current back 4, Gerard Martin also another weak link playing because Balde out injured. I think Inter favourites for the tie

But something I find interesting is how tactically weak La Liga and its coaches are. This Barcelona team has been winning and leading the table for a whole season with this defensive style. If a team played like this in Serie A, I think they’d only manage results for about 10 weeks before others figured them out with counter-tactics.
Like who? Italiano? There's maybe 3 good coaches in the league. Conte, Inzaghi and Ranieri.

This is not a great barca team but they're on track to win everything with a few lloyd kellys in defense and Tek in goal ffs. Give credit to the coach.

I agree that they can win the tie.

I don’t agree about them playing an awesome game. They scored some freak goals, got manhandled by Barca and are lucky to walk away with a tie.

Freak goals? Two were from set pieces. If anything, Barca scored some absolute freak goals all down to individual brilliance.

Barca manhandling them was expected but they were much better defensively in the second half.

It's a fair result tbh. Barca were atrocious defensively.

By freak goals I mean a back heel kick, a bicycle kick and a header where the goalkeeper completely fucked up.

It's clear how many people here haven't watched a Barca game all season...

Guys, no one gives a fuck about defending anymore. Barca don't care how many they concede. With that front line they can outscore anyone.

Barcelona have an impressive attack and a young kid who will be, if he already isn't, the best player in the world, but it's a team that would have been manhandled by both Juve teams in 2015 and 2017.
But we faced the two best and most complete teams in the history of the sport :(

I’ve had the exact same thought watching the game too.

Our timing fucking sucks.
