If history repeats itself, alves will be nowhere to be found to have any matchup with Ribery. He's going to be too busy pushed up into the attacking final third.

Alves is going to have to track back today if Barca wants any hope of a draw. Bartra will get abused if he's on an island.

Barcelona line-up (official): Valdes - Alves Bartra Pique Alba - Xavi Busquets Iniesta - Pedro Messi Alexis

Bayern line-up (official): Neuer - Lahm Boateng Dante Alaba - Robben Schweinsteiger Muller JaviMartinez Ribery - MarioGomez

Great line up by Bayern

 

[milohimself]

Bayern has legit beef for one hand ball but this ref is just letting them play.

 

[milohimself]

Credit to robben. He's been solid

pique losing muller on the goal it seems, did not attempt to pick anyone up

A frantic first half, but still enjoyable. Barca dominating possession as expected. Bayern absorbing past midfield and countering as expected.

Guess using your arms in the penalty box is legal now.

[DocVOLiday]

[Godfatha]

I take back everything I ever said about you Robben.

For today.

 

[VolBadger]

[DocVOLiday]

And again, DAMN

Mother ****er.

Can't even enjoy the second leg. Same old ****. Just laying an egg in just about every road game in the Champions Leage this year.

Bayern already won the CL

Hard to see Barca coming back from this, even at home.

Guess I was right about Robben today....

I was completely wrong about him today. He played a hell of a game.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Bayern is playing such pretty football now.

Too bad Pique never played much basketball.. He forgot to yell "PICK!!!!" at Jordi Alba.

Hard to see Barca coming back from this, even at home.

Never say never but it's a huge mountain
