Atletico Madrid has knocked Barça out of UCL previous 2 times back in 2014 and 2016 (with prime MSN). Realistically speaking even if we manage to beat Atletico, how hard is it to beat the set piece merchants Arsenal?

  1. Arsenal, if they involve their tactic that we see in their matches, can easily outscore Barcelona from just corners

    I don’t think there are players who are able to physically challenge Arsenal players when it comes to set pieces (maybe Araujo, Lewa and….)

    So, yeah
    Keep our expectations low

    offensively, we don’t have a good number 10. olmo and Fermin can be easily contained by a physical opposition like arsenal.

  3. As much as many won’t like it , we have to play araujo for sure against arsenal , if both of us qualify to semi’s, we all know how terrible barca is against setpieces

    Arsenal are BY FAR the biggest challange on our side. They have, in my opinion, been the best team in the world this season. We could really see a replay of inter from last season, maybe not in terms of excitement, but in terms of style – defense, play on the counter, low block vs high line, posession based, hyper attacking football. It would be very difficult to beat them.

    That being said, arsenal are known to bottle things and you never know in the ucl. I always believe we’ll manage to go all the way and i think we have a solid chance at winning.

  6. If we face atletico in the quarter, our season is over. We aint beating them in the UCL, we have more chances beating arsenal than atleti in the UCL even right now 😭

    Barca is not on paper reaching final, due to current defensive problems, both atm and arsenal can beat us easily. And newcastle also can do this if the gods favor them a little

  8. I watched a lot of Arsenal, because my friend is a Gooner and they are the best team in Europe right now. It seems that they finally figured out how to play with Gyokeres, Saka is playing better, Rice and Zubimendi are beasts in midfield, their defence is amazing and Raya is great goalkeeper. Everything looks splendid for them, but it’s Arsenal they are their worst enemy.

    I’m tempering my expectations this season so that I don’t get hurt if we get smashed in the UCL. This team isn’t nearly the same as last year, even if cherry-picked stats say otherwise, the eye doesn’t.

    I’m not even confident we beat Newcastle with all the players getting injured and here you are talking about arsenal and atletico

  11. we are Barcelona, we can beat anyone anytime. They should fear us not vice versa. Visca el Barca!

  12. 1 Newcastle

    Then we can talk about Atleti/Spurs

    Shit isn’t so easy to predict we might lose to Bodo (Arsenal will probably smash them)

  13. I think we should hold our horses and focus on beating newcastle first, I am not even confident in that fixture lol. This defense set up gives me nightmares 😥

    Only someone delusional would think Arsenal are set piece merchants. Watch actual football, Prem teams park the bus against them so set pieces is a counter, moment teams like Bayern or Inter tried to play the way they wanted against them, Arsenal ripped them apart.
