Chelsea have been out of form for 2 months but have been heavily injured and not had a proper striker for a month, now look like they're getting back at it and almost their whole squad is fully fit.
Barcelona are favourites based on form but Chelsea have a lot of tools to hurt Barca and are consistently their bogey team.
the ref won't give any yellow to chelsea players, then a barça player will be sent off for no reason and then chelsea fans will cry refball cause the ball touching an armpit wasnt a penalty

It only fits the narrative of the assmad customers. No one talks about Inter-Barca or Malaga-Dortmund, ever.
Joshua Walker
>Malaga-Dortmund They both had an offside goal, what's there to talk about?
Juan Martin
I love that y'all still are this butthurt about that. I remember it as one of the best nights in my life as a Barcelona supporter. I really liked how the Spanish commentator in the video I link below put it after Iniesta's goal
>Goal by Andres! The God of football has just come down to Stamford Bridge! That wasn't Andres Iniesta! It was the God of football justice! Because mezquindad (something like nastiness, maliciousness) cannot be rewarded, but Barcelona's faith and bravery can!
Basically, Chelsea's scummery, especially when playing at Camp Nou, made lose the round. A great goal, a great narration and a great butthurt.
William Rodriguez
That's exactly my point, you only saw the those "goals", not everything else.
Gavin Ramirez
Both legs will be 0-0. Conte will play some madman defensive formation, but Barca will still go through on pens after Morata bottles it in the shootout
Jack Wilson
>spanish rose-tinted specs
Everyone knows that the Spanish teams get the 'rub of the green' when it come in European competitions. it's been going on for over a decade now (at least blatantly), do you even watch football?

you mean diving and cheating? kek

You shouldn't make images like this if you don't know the rules.
On just the handball, it doesn't matter if it was unintentional, the rule is having your arm in an unnatural position, otherwise players would just stick their arms out whilst defending in those situations. The ref saw it (the entire stadium too) and chose to ignore it because UEFA wanted a Messhit Penaldo final.
Dylan Nguyen
But chelsea were the ones that got a barça defender sent off by blatantly diving.
Asher Smith

Ayden Morales
The FIFA rule book (Laws of the Game 2014/2015) defines it as:
“Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration:
• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement
• touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement
• hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement”

I said it in a thread yesterday, Conte will act like a retard and start Bakayoko and Morata despite the fact that the former is horrible and that Giroud was involves in 3 goals vs Hull while Morata was virtually invisible when he came on as a sub. This will lead to Chelsea losing. At least he might not start Cahill
Christopher Hernandez

Nathaniel Robinson

Jaxon Gomez
I don't know why you think this disproves anything. Pique had his arm sticking out for 3 seconds, any other ref would deem it deliberate. You'd have a lot more credibility if you didn't deny the most obvious penalty in the history of football was a penalty, it just makes you look stupid
Michael Hughes
quite hilarious it's usually a clueless mong that goes around telling others they don't know the rules before getting btfo

Cooper Cox
>the position of the hand does not necessarily mean there is an infringement
The key word is necessarily. The ref would use their discretion to make the call and that ref ignored it. Maybe try and comprehend the rules you quote
Tyler Peterson
>Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm.
Parker Price
Zero credibility, but you can say refs always get it right when you benefit from the for 10 years
Oliver Morris
yes, it's all to refs discretion while you said it was a clear penalty according to the rules, which it is not
Stop pretending you have a clue about the rules (you don't) and you didn't say it was a clear penalty according to the rules (you did), you fucked up and were wrong both times
Oliver Collins
What butthurt? I just laugh at your delusion, it's pathetic. Catalan mean shit to me until you gain independence mate, you're Spanish as far as the rest of the world are concerned :)

Asher Jones
If we're going to do the microanalysis bullshit
Defender's entire leg collides with Drogba's leg that's controlling the ball forcing him into a mistake before the defender's taken the ball. Drogba touches the ball first knocking it to his right so he's definitely the one who had possession of the ball. Foul and so penalty.
Defender's pushing Anelka's back with his hand. Defender literally grabs Anelka's shirt pulling it taut in second frame. Foul and so penalty.
Ball travels a large distance towards Pique, satisfying the • the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball) rule. Since Anelka's flicking the ball around the player, Pique's hand is also therefore moving towards the ball, satisfying • the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand). Outstretching only one hand that far for that long when it's the hand between the ball and the goal is also plenty of case to say it was a deliberate attempt.
So 4 penalties out of 6 should have been given. Pique's handball is actually one of the most obvious incidence of handball you'll ever see.

Bakayoko is confirmed injured for the first leg, so Chelsea's chances are improved dramatically. Chelsea's only real injury.
Is Chelsea - Barcelona a proper rivalry? They always provide very memorable games

Finally, the top teams from England are actually representing the country for the first time in over a decade and the rest of Europe are quaking in their boots as a result. use the Juve vs Tottenham game for citation.
Henry Hernandez
its one of those one sided ones. chelsea despise barca but barca dont care about it
well, madrid has only had to fight one real team in 4 years, guardiola's bayern, that was the key to win three champions
Lucas Lee
madrid was out of the round of 16 for five straight years and then they only fought literal whos like shalke or bremen

I could see Conte going with this line-up: Courtois Azpilicueta Christensen Rüdiger Moses Fàbregas Kanté Alonso Willian Morata Hazard
Brody Morales

Can Courtois pull a Cech in this tie, lads?

Samuel Robinson
Messi crying was quite fun to see.
Alexander Hill
Is Kante back? If so Messi will be somewhat neutralized (if Kante doesn't have one of his increasingly frequent stinkers).
On the whole though, Chelsea really seem hopeless. Man to Man they're worse. Team vs Team they're way worse. Suarez will toy with Cahill and Luiz, and can just stay away from whichever side of the field Azpi is in. If Baka starts then Chelsea might as well have no midfield. Barca's attacking fullbacks have much more pace and threat than Chelsea's wing-backs so Chelsea might as well have no width going forward.
It's looking really grim for Chelsea. I'd say they should set out to keep their dignity let alone get through to the QF.
Xavier Williams
>is kante back
yes
>suarez will you cahill and luiz
wrong, Suarez never played good against them and besides, they will start with Azpie, Rudiger and Christensen - all top defenders
>if baka starts
injured
Dylan Moore
See suarez nutmeg on Luiz, and repeated powering through cahill.
Baka's injury is good news. Rudiger is a meme. He was recked against barca when at Roma and will be rekt again. Christensen is an unknown quantity. Still, with no baka, maybe the tie will be worth watching.
Grayson Collins
La liga is a mickey mouse league populated by retards, retards and cringeworthy foreigners like ray hudson fawning over "le best league in le world"
Total joke of a league not to mention rigged given the state aid provided by the spanish govt to farcelona and halal
Chelsea have been wank but i still back them to go through against these clowns
Wyatt Rogers
chelsea gonna get BTFO, obviously. what else?
Luke Powell
>I'd say they should set out to keep their dignity let alone get through to the QF.
Chelsea are precisely the kind of team that Barca will not like playing against. If Barca's fullbacks bomb forward too much Hazard and Pedro/Willian will exploit the space behind. Chelsea are extremely dangerous in the air whether it's Morata or Giroud and Barca are vulnerable in the air and vulnerable to target mans in general. Chelsea can line up with a lot of fitness and work rate in central midfield with Willian, Kante and Luiz. Neither Messi or Suarez have ever been particularly effective against Chelsea.
The main reason Barca are likely to win this one is form, if Chelsea were flying this would be evens. This is probably the worst Barcelona side in a decade.
Benjamin Sanchez
and don't forget the last minute blooter, sign me in pham
Grayson Adams
>Baka's injury is good news. Heh, too bad Morata recovered so he will inevitably start in both games.

The reality is five epl clubs in the CL knockout round
The reality is the EPL is the richest and most watched league in the world FOR A REASON
The reality is Spurs i.e. the fifth best team in England beating Halal 3-1

Barca's form isn't particularly good. They've been looking rather poor vs mediocre teams.
Adam Lewis
they just beat valencia twice and eibar, those are not mediocre teams. Their only poor game was against getafe
Joshua Cooper
I did watch the eibar game and I was convinced there was an equalizer coming until the red card and even a little bit after
Dylan Richardson
eibar had lots of ball but only 3 shots on goal
it's always a difficult game with their small pitch and high pressing, but usually always ends up with a counter attack goal by barcelona opening the score
Oliver Thomas
why wasn't coutinho playing? he's not eligible against chelsea.. so why not use a 160m guy there?
Austin Phillips
Atletico Madrid are playing well enough so that Barcelona still have to care about the league and Coutinho still hasn't properly integrated
Nathaniel Ward
if coutinho had played yesterday barcelona would have lost, eibar press too much for someone like him, he's too small and doesn't work in ball recovery enough yet
once eibar was tired he could come in
Cameron Gomez
spending 40-50m extra for getting him in january rather than next summer might be one of the worst business decisions in football
