The Barcelona Thread

HT Barcelona 3-0 Deporta La Coruna

Messi, Henry, Eto'o the scorers.

Barca look set to break the Madridista record for most points at the half-way mark of the season. All Barcelona needs is a draw to break the record tonight. I think Barca will manage to hold on.

i have to lower the intelligence level so some of your fellow barca fans will understand.

5-0 with only a few mins left; Messi, Henry x2, Eto'o x2

Yet another crushing victory for our beloved Barca! I think the other teams can just pack and go home the way things are going. I love Braca as my absolute favorite team, but there should be limits to how good you can be! Barca have single handedly killed La Liga this season. The only excitement left is to see how many records they will break by the end of the year!

i have NEVER seen such beautiful football in my life than what Barca is doing this year.

I saw the 5-0 thrashing, and man, I can count on one hand the number of times La Coruna touched the ball...

Amen brother! They've given words like "Total football" and "The beautiful game (Joga Bonita)" a totally new meaning!

that's because we actually have wins to gloat about, not losses to 3rd division teams

Milad Jan, even Real at their best was not averaging more than 3 goals a game...

It takes a man to admit his team is faltering and his closest rival is breaking records he dreams were being broken by his team...with that being said, it suppose we'll never hear you admit it.

I just watched the entire game 5-0 for Barca...

that was a beautiful game, doesn't matter who you are, you have to stand up and applaud that performance.

anyways, i think to be able to beat barca, or atleast knock them out of champions league, certain criteria are required:

1)first and foremost, the opponent should have a very strong and organized defense and GK. any team who doesnt posses this factor virtually stands no chance infront of this barca...

2)to be able to knock out or beat barca, the opponent should also have either a very coordinated midfield who can spread well in offense and play compact in defense, in other words, ideally a team who has good counter attacking abilities. OR
the other option is to have a highly efficient attack line who can score from the minimum chances they make.

3)having a player with special skills ON A HIGH LEVEL, like junino in freekicks, or ballack in headers, or c. ronaldo in dribbling will also help.

that being said, i think the team that closest resembles to those conditions is juventus!
they have a soild back line and GK, their midfield isnt that energetic but quite experience and very organized, and their forwards are very efficient both on ground and in the air. besides, amauri is quite good in the air and delpierro with his freekicks.

the other option is chelsea on a good day. their midfield can dictate almost any game to any opponent, their defense line is also good but their GK is inconsistent and.

man utd is my 3rd option, but i see their odds quite low to beat barca; so its really just juve and chelsea in my opinion.

any other team will have to have an exceptional day both in terms of luck as well as playing football to knock beat barcelona.

ofcourse, this doesnt mean that i think one of these teams will win the CL, this only means that only chelsea and juve in my opinion have the characteristics required to beat this barcelona.
