Great result. Not perfect but not far off. The performance was also very good - fairly clinical at key times, and mostly very good defending. Higuain and Bonucci are the only two who can take a little criticism. Higuain for the misses and Bonucci a couple of times stepped in on Suarez and was very lucky the bounce of the ball didn't make him pay, but both players equally did other very good things. I've come to the conclusion with Higuain is that he needs to instinctively finish, the more time you give him to think and second guess himself and the lesser the chance of a goal.
Tactically we got it just about right, ceded a lot of possession but managed to swamp them around the area. On another day that might have allowed space for a chance that is difficult to defend against but tonight we did our jobs well and got a couple of decent breaks as well.
Key save from Buffon on Iniesta. It was actually a clever finish but that instinct is hard to stop. What else did Buffon have to save? Suarez had a great chance but mostly we defended the right areas.
I fancy we'll score an away goal, and we have to be good enough to see the game out from there. I just don't want us to get into a defensive set up for large parts of the away leg and put pressure on ourselves. That's when you start making mistakes.
Barcelona are terrible in defence, just awful.
Great night.

First match this season that left me satisfied. Thrilled, to be exact.
The only negative is that neither of Neymar, Rakitic and Pique got yellowed. As well as Khedira and Mandzukic getting the yellow. Now these two, and Cuadrado, risk a suspension for the semis if they get a yellow in Barcelona. And we will get lots of yellows there.

Exactly. He's a huge kunt and I absolutely love him for that.
