of the park and Barca punished them nearly every time. I felt Dembele looked very strong today but as long as Busquets (hope he is ok) and Iniesta are allowed to possess the ball without any sort of real pressure Barca will pick you apart.

Curtois had a downright awful game. Messi nutted him twice and the first one was a downright softy.

Off to the next round and it is scary to think Spain could have had 4 teams in the 8s had Costa and Vitolo been around for group play. I imagine everyone is hoping they draw Sevilla or Roma.

That’s a penalty

On a guy who was 1 on the keeper.

If it was Firmino you’d be apoplectic (I think I have that allegiance right).

Don't just say contact. Tell me what you actually saw make contact.

Firmino would never go down there. Ever. Maybe Lallana. Definitely Sturridge.

I have every reason to hate barca.

3 hit posts across both legs so far.

Chelsea aren’t far away, just can’t give up the ones they’ve allowed (looking at you Thibeau)

Messi goal. Barca 2-1 on agg.

Dembele goal. Barca 3-1 on agg.

He awake for this match?

And windy, we didn’t make terms but I will accept my public penance depending on what you desire

I can't in good conscience make any sort of "bet" after Man U gets embarrassed like that.

I do think Barca is the strongest since 2015-16. It's going to be a tough climb for Chelsea.

For the wide right player? Or are they all on loan somewhere else?

Not sure they have a replacement in that alignment.

Zappacosta was supposed to challenge at that RWB position, but both have been somewhat hit or miss

I assume Moses is playing more of a wingback moving up in the play? It would be odd to play him as a true winger over Willian (and Pedro, for that matter).

Every time Moses touches the ball play gets held up, followed by a heavy touch and lost possession.

He's at RWB across from Alonso who is at LWB.

Willian and Hazard are the wingers with Giroud up front.

Though it seems like Willian stays wide more often than Hazard.
