remontada
Anyone got the english translation for the press conf?
Let’s talk in the field all in together
no raphinha is killing me man he would’ve cruised us through the QFs/SFs
visca barca sempre
Will it be an easy game? No. Am I confident Barca can go through? Yes.
I’m expecting a very thrilling match and i absolutely can’t wait. These type of matches are exactly why the UCL is so exciting
Already have goosebumps and the game is tommorow bro
We will win, Believe it!!

Come catch us Simeone
1% chance, 99% faith
So tired of atleti please remontada
Flick pls. Keep Olmo on the bench for me and substitute him in the 2nd half so he could have impact. Start Cancelo as Left wing. Only adjust if there is no impact in the 2nd half removing Balde then put Rashford. Start Yamal in the middle and Ronny in the right wing.
2nd half, put Fermin and Olmo and Lewandowski for proper damage.
Guys don’t be worried for whatever Lamine said, remember how he walked the talk when he scored the banger against France in the Euros semi.
He will repeat tomorrow.
gonna be tough, you gotta think they’ve got a goal in them at home. But Barca’s got an immense offense, so i think anything can happen. Am cautiously optimistic.
Remontada.
I hope Frenkie can play from the start tomorrow with Pedri. Eric and Martin need to give a defense master class tomorrow if we want to win.
A big match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
generational aura gamble by lamine and the fans
I really hope the UCL quarters Aston Villa Rashford shows up tomorrow for us.
He was unstoppable against PSG.
If we go to extra time, will we be at an advantage or disadvantage? We don’t have depth but remember Atleti doesn’t either. Especially at CB. Lenglet and Le Normand will have to play the full game no matter what because Hancko and Pubill are suspended

I just hope that in the not unlikely at all scenario of conceding a goal early, the morale doesnt drop and they give it all until the last minute.
We need to have a good pressing tactics to keep them under pressure. Also we need to have a good versatile backline and strong defence
For one thing, we have to forget all the crazy stats of “Atlético / Simeone had never lost in X condition”
These things are true until the day they’re note anymore. And that day might as well be tomorrow
We can let that shit get into out heads.

We are gonna beat their ass so bad tomorrow I can feel it
Guanyarem, guanyarem, guanyarem!!
The reality is, to win the UCL we have to win in these sort of situations. These are the results that define the Champions, that define a legacy.
Feeling positive about tomorrow. We have a lot of weapons and alternatives to go full throttle 90 mins which I think is key. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see all of Lewy, Olmo, Fermín, Rash, cancelo, Gavi, Balde, Jules, and frenkie at different times. Maybe even Ferran.
Yo yamal better cook tomorrow otw he better stfu before imp games i have seen enough of big talks from him and then either he drops a stinker or we lose
