Luis Enrique is proving that even a monkey can coach a team like Barcelona. It's not a rocket science and same were doing both Rijkaard and Guardiola.

I mean Luis Enrique what a shit coach he is and look at him: first in Spain, still in line for Coppa and semi finals of CL.

Oh common.You cant be serious.

Rijkaard's Barca was very different from Pep's Barca either way.

Pep laid the foundation,the blueprint to Barca's dominance.Many people forget he took over a rather old squad and subsequently a massive rebuilding process took place.
To say he took over a winning team is pure ignorance.And i am hardly a Pep fan.Infact i hate his football.

If anything, the coaches that followed Pep have reaped the benefits of his work.

Watching Dante, Boateng and Luiz, one can truly appreciate what defenders we've got. At least a level above those three!

It looks impressive, but just wait until L. Enrique comes up against a great tactician.

EuroMaxx is gonna have a field day

EuroMaxx is gonna eat him alive

PSG were shit mainly because Barca outclassed them in every possible way tonight. I hope we avoid them until the finals (doh!).

4 own goals is more likely

WHat? We beat Dortmund 5-1. We clearly belong in the QFs. Name the teams that should be here ahead of us?

This Dortmund doesn't belong in the CL at all.

In my opinion all the teams are pretty weak this year. From the teams that are going out that I'd have been seriously worried if we drew I'd say Chelsea and PSG. Having said that, every year there is one or two teams who get an easy road to the semis. We are this team this year and thats how we are in the semis.

I am hoping that if we meet Barca, Enrique feels creative and does one of his masterplans

 

[Lion]

what a piece of junk pastore is

yeah do your dribbles and back heel passes on your own half, but dont contribute in anyway to scoring or assisting.

i was going to say he's like pirlo but as a treq a slow player that kills momentum, but at least pirlo plays forward passes that matter

I wouldnt say we dont 'deserve' to be in the last 8.

But what i'd agree is we have had the easiest path to *potentially* a last 4 out of all other *potential semi-finalists*.

barca have struggled against italian teams

When will Guardiola learn that sometimes you have to swallow your pride and make sure your defence is protected. Surely he must know Boateng and especially Dante are complete trash. Persisting with his style of flairing them out and using Alonso as a deep regista is risky even with immense talent in front of them. With everyone hurt, he should have adjusted better.

 

[piotrr]

PSG is gonna try to win 0-2 in Barcelona, so they can go out like always: 3:3 on away goals.

 

[Hist]

Sure I didnt say we don't deserve to be here. We got lucky draws and did our job against every opposition so far.

 

[Trequartista]

Doesn't mean much, it's still semi finals of CL.

It's 50-50 IMO.

And honestly? I'm not sure I'd like to face Atletico. Eventhough we had them in group stages they didn't look like a team. I believe they'd take it on another level now. Call me crazy but I think we stand a good chance against Real Madrid.

We're also playing better than when we faced them.

 

[happybum]

Atletico would probably be worst draw out of all. They're gonna park the bus, and Allegri will have 0 clue on how to answer them.

Juventus need a team who's gonna attack them, and sit back for once.
