Do you not see anything wrong with that attitude? It's an attitude that some English fans have overseas and then cry "we're all victims" which the media over here latch on to. Yes, there tolerance levels are a lot lower than ours, but it's well documented that a lot of stewards and police overseas aren't governed like ours and don't take shit. So don't paint a bullseye on your chest and make yourselves a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll agree with that last statement about making yourself a target. But primarily going on how our fans were treated in Seville last year, it was downright barbaric purely from the police. Literally entered a courtyard where there were quite a few pubs/cafes/restaurants and yes, some fans were a bit lairy (not causing any trouble?) but there were also fans (young, old, male, female, children etc) who were targeted just cos they were in the vicinity. These were the fans that had caused no trouble or harm to anyone and just enjoying the trip there. Pretty sure there were videos of police just targeting anyone and everyone simply because they were heavily armed and shielded and looked like they just ram-raided wherever they could.

As @The Palace Fan said, what makes it really ridiculous is the fact Rio posted those videos himself which makes him look really innocent and rather dumb.

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Messi doesn't need anything saying about him. He ghosted past Azpilicueta with ease for the 2nd(which he set Dembele up for) and the 3rd. Iniesta should never go to China, he should retire at Barcelona. Umtiti is a beast and his partnership with Pique is arguably the strongest around right now. Busquets is too much, great to see him back at his ultimate best this season. Indispensable. Dembele is only going to get better. Good to see him get his first goal and he worked very hard tracking back. Suarez was very involved despite not scoring and played a part in 2 of the goals. Alba's having the best season of his career. He's become a left sided version of Alves. Chelsea played better over the two legs than the scoreline suggested. I never thought I'd read about the Peruvian national team in a Champions League 1/4 final thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 971 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Cesc lost the ball, Messi went past Christensen and was one on one with Azpilicueta and passed the ball to Dembele. When did he ghost by Apzilicueta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did he ghost by Apzilicueta? No player can ghost past Azpilicueta. How I wish we revert to a back 4. He's unplayable at RB. Also needs to be noted how well Kante did last night. The man is incredible. Basically did the role of three midfielders due to Cesc's inability to move, yet still practically made the centre of the pitch his own. We should be more worried about keeping Kante than Hazard. Still hope Barca win the competition, but from last night's performance, they are there for the taking. Still think either City or even Liverpool could of got something from that tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Lear air gap between the ground and his feet... All the same Rio failed in every way defensively there and it wasn't the first time he'd done that during his career.

carefreeluke 722 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Have to say, I haven't watched the first half back yet, will do at some point this weekend. However, do people really believe we played well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asura 319 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Chelsea definitely played well, wouldn't say they deserved to go through totally but its definitely a lot better than what the overall score of the tie says. Losing 1-4 is not justice to how chelsea played and they gave some good problems to barcelona. Dont let anyone tell you barcelona controlled the games by having 999999% possession because despite that chelsea hit the post 4 times, 4 fucking times. Willian made some dangerous runs in both the legs and could have had more dangerous situations if others supported him better. Having said that I agree with @Cicero above, Barcelona would not have let chelsea win this, even if chelsea scored all of those 4 times they hit the post, barcelona have enough quality to up their game and score 3-4 more if needed.
