    I'd be 10x more confident if City get through this round

    I didn't expect this kind of domination tbh, Barca is playing great and Toure's absence hurts City a lot imo. Suarez is the first player in Barca's history in CL to score twice during the first 30', away from Camp Nou.
    The other match is good too, but wtf Hummels

    That 1st half was a schooling, pellegrini very tactically naive playing 442 against this Barcelona side

    Barca should have killed this in first half, City was better in second.

    But no way City winning 0-2 at Camp Nou

    Horrendous opening half from City, unorganized pressing kept ruining the team shape which allowed Barca to make combinations close to City's midfield line to go through. Some comical errors in the back allowed 2 easy goals for Suarez. When u try forming a higher block with a 442 it's paramount the team moves as a unit to make it hard to play through, teams that excel with possession can't deal with that. They missed Yaya when it came from transitioning from defending to attack, needed someone that makes dribbles/passes through the lines...I wouldn't say the tie is over but they need to come more prepared for the trip to Spain.

    I think Arsenal will dominate tonight, but hope for Monaco to do it and cause a upset.

    Yeah I think that despite Monaco's strong defence, Arsenal will get a positive result tonight. I'm not sure if it'll come easy though! I just hope that my boy Bellerin will have a good game

    During the first months this season he mostly played as a winger instead of a playmaker/10 and that's really hurt his game a lot (stamina issues, he couldn't help with the overlap in which he is great, and he was good at moving the ball wider when he was in the mid, amazing one touch passes etc, but as a winger he had to do different things for Wenger's different tactics as he had to close down from the left wing, provide help in the defensive end, carry the ball more etc). Also the injury didn't help ofc, but I think that he wasn't able to adapt to the winger role. Now that he's playing in the mid again he'll hopefully regain his confidence and perform much better.
