Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The Roma game is quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever seen ever (although I never saw the game) and I include seeing Aberdeen 83, the birth of my daughter, the cure for cancer and time travel.

Why see out the last few minutes in the corner when you can bomb forward and go for another goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s a great clip. Mind you it starts with some loser holding one of those "both team" scarves. Deary me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Just let me bask in the glory of one multi million pound team beating a team with more multi millions of pounds. I blame Aberdeen FC. If it wasn't for Sir Alex winning that diddy cup in 83 he probably would never got the Man Utd job. The shame is all on youz again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, what did they do? They just kept attacking and sending players forward when they were in possession. They almost got caught out on the break but they just kept going. Best part of ten minutes to hold out against Barcelona, plus stoppage time but I think they knew even with the likes of Messi playing that Barcelona weren't scoring. From 2-0 it just looked like the players believed they would be going through and their game plan didn't change much after they got the third goal.

Also, they continued to squeeze the game and played an extremely high defensive line. At one point, Barca pumped a ball over the top - three (!) players were in offside positions, but the referees only seemed to realise that two of them were. Those two players left the ball alone, while the third (Pique, who was playing as an emergency centre forward) chased after it. The keeper had to come 25 yards out to tackle the ball away. Ball went to Dembele on the Barca right, who tried to lob the goalkeeper and the retreating defenders from 50 yards - effort went just over the bar. Just completely mad.

I've also not didn't watch the game just 10 mins highlights. What it was, is we are winning and beating them how were are playing why change. They kept their mentality of win win. Not win, then not loose. Which happens with most teams whatever level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it was great to see Roma go through though. Those two have a habit of choking in the early knockout rounds, but they have helped to turn the group stages into an almost total non-event. The only interesting group this year was the Chelsea / Atletico / Roma one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 5 hours ago, Mastermind said: Liverpool coming from 3-0 down in the final in Istanbul to win the Champions League is the only better comeback that immediately comes to mind. There’s possibily others, but can’t be that many. Deportivo also came from 4-1 down to qualify in 03/04. They beat reigning champions Milan 4-0 at the Riazor. Probably quite a similar scale of comeback to last night, actually. That Milan team was formidable, and the thought of them conceding 4 goals was totally unexpected. Although Depor did have some class attacking players at the time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably remembered psg's capitulation to barca last season when they just humped it forward to no one, giving barca the ball back, at least attacking them it puts barca on the back foot and puts them deeper in their own half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
