Apart from the Chachirito chance, which was funny as hell to see (der stegen was fail positioned one more time), leverkusen were played out of the park the second half.
No chance they could really score with that tree kissling planted up front

i didn't watch the game but it's not hard for me to believe this is actually true. leverkusen never performs vs. big names. that being said, losing by one goal against a team with like 10 times their budget is not THAT bad imo...

Good game by Leverkusen, Barcelona barely survived. Had we lost, we'd been at 1 point through 2 games rofl

Lol Leverkusen got shit on with barca missing big names.
2 key players were out busquets and messi.
What Leverkusen did first half was ok, but second they looked bad. Got overrun

Losing just 1 goal behind isn't really accurate of what happened on the pitch.

In the first 15 minutes barca had 2 clear chances that should have been 2:0. Rakitic from 6m heading it into the gk and Sandro.
Fair result would have been at least 4:2

busquets? maybe get your facts straight befor trying to make an actual point...
i don't think you watched the game, you just repeated what b4al said to justify his bias...

anyway, "barca missing big names" might be relevant if they play against real madrid or one of the "english" sheik toys - but when you field players like neymar, suarez, iniesta, busquets, piqué, mascherano... agains f*cking leverkusen, you're still expected to win with ease - especially at home...

pretty good, game plan was well executed. if the mexican did make the sitter its 0-2 & the game is likely over. or at least a tie in the end.

leverkusen was dead tired (which happens quite often) because they always play a ridiculous high-pressing style, running like crazy. gotta score when you have the opportunity.

good article on leverkusen's style

Holy shit. I just looked at livescore he did play XD
Well I didn't see him once although I was watching chelsea more.

Anyways we're on the same page with Leverkusen being bad. No need to fight I guess

yes, you are spot on, if barca would have miseed the goals aswell and leverkusen would have scored every chance this could have ended even 0-3
Are you for real ?



You're talking like leverkusen is full of nomarks.
Kissling was a legend in germoney, don't really know why, he sucks badly but that's another issue.
Bender - arguably reliable holder
Christoph Kramer was the best bundesliga midfielder last year
Hakan Calhanoglu - at least a decent player with 10/10 free kicks and corners.

Even in defence there are some decent choices, tah, paparostapolus...

Them excuses.

let's not forget that you're the one who started the "what if" game:







sry but you clearly can't distinguish between an excuse and sane reasoning. i agree that leverkusen has some talented players and is generally speaking not a bad team at all. but if you compare it to the names i mentioned before and what they earn at barcelona not even a complete retard would deny that it is a fair point to make...
