If we’re being real, Barca have underachieved in Europe. Only 3 CL titles in 13 years when you have:

The best player in the world.
The best midfielders in the world (08-15)
World class players.

Real Madrid won 4 in 5 years and 3 in a row. Barca should’ve won at least 5 CLs. Yes, it’s not easy to win and luck does play a part but:

In 2010... they should’ve beaten Inter. Yes, that Inter treble winning team was fantastic but that Barca team should’ve been in the finals.

They went out to a Chelsea team in 2012 that had no business being in the finals that season. That loss was so bad it made Pep take a sabbatical.

In 2019, to be 3-0 up on aggregate and then lose 4-0 to Liverpool with no reply is true capitulation. Not saying Liverpool didn’t deserve that win but all they needed was one goal and they couldn’t even do that?

Let’s not even get started on that Roma game.

Again, they should’ve had at least 5 CL titles since 2008. To have only three is shameful.

Nah. I don't see another early 00's era for them. Barca is way richer and more prestigious now than they were 20 years ago. And unlike Man U and Milan, they're fan owned. If things aren't going right, they'll hold elections

Barca before the Barca you know were not that great. They had great players but always underachieved. The wheels are turning and we are going back to normal.

Nah, Barca much like the Spain team got found out in the early 10's. Both Chelsea and Inter laid the blueprint and then Bayern put them to the sword. They never evolved as a team, stood still and went backwards. Yeah MSN led them to a title that one year, but every season since, in the KO stages, theyve been bullied and that goes back to Chelsea and Inter. And Barcas away performances haven't been that stellar over the last decade in the CL if we're keeping it reality.

Apart from the Messi years when has Barca ever been stellar in the champions league / European cup? Back in the day Barca were smaller than Liverpool and the Italian giants in European football terms. Barca even being considered a real near-rival to Real is relatively recent .

I think some random years in the 90s? Ronaldinhos peak? And Peps Barca till Xavi left. Messi's presence alone has made people think of them as contenders for the past 4 years or so

Remind of this last year.



Jansson tried stopping that goal :mjlol:

Biesla bushed him to Brentford after that.

In that Leeds Amazon doc, Jansson was asked if he would attempt to stop that goal again and he said yes:dead:
