Yeah - especially those scenes of Messi running round the Nou Camp with the trophy.
Oh

Oh
I only started watching from the 50th minute - take out a worldly free kick, the penalty & that sumptuous pass, he was FUCKING SHIT. He kept on losing the ball, kept on going down easily complaining to the ref and doing absolutely nothing for the team. No pressing nothing. I've seen him play far far better.
That was incredible. I couldn't help but smile - feel bad for PSG, but they have no one to blame but themselves (Barca were always going to score but Cavani (again) & Di Maria missed 1v1 with Ter Stegen when it was 3-1).
Pique is a brain fart.
This is more like it. Bravo.
If it was a cup final it wouldn't even be a discussion point.
But the fact they needed 4, got 3 with 30 left, conceded, needed 3 more with 2 mins + stoppages to go and did it id incredible.
yeah discount the fact that he was instrumental in a massive comeback and he was shit..
mental
Even if you can definitively make a judgement does it really matter which was the better comeback?
The Suarez dive was execrable. Pure cheating.
Where did I discount it (I did discount that he should have been sent off for kicking a PSG player in the box - that's probably mental too)?
I just said he was utter shite for most of the game - wasteful and diving non-stop.
This was definitely not one of his 'best games', despite how key he was in the last 7 minutes
Rio is celebrating for the same reason the average English football fan started supporting us in the CL final against Milan in 2005.
I remember hearing rival supporters call in to 606 to tell the story of how they were laughing at us at 3-0 down only to start supporting us at 3-3.
It's just the love of the game I guess.
The average English supporter started supporting us in Istanbul? What does "average" mean? Because if you think the "average" Everton, United, Arsenal, West Ham, Spurs or Chelsea fan suddenly started cheering us on, I have some news for you:
Did they FUCK.
I fucking missed this game. Anyone fancy helping an hombre out and giving me a link to the game? I can only get highlights on youtube and I fancy the whole enchilada. Cheers fellas.

No they obviously didn't, FUCK.
Thankfully there are more teams in England then those listed above. I dont think fans of other clubs, apart from those who hate our guts, wouldnt cheer us on in that part of the game. For instance fans of teams who arent in the PL etc or have any obvious history and rivalry with us.
Agreed about the teams listed above mind. They probably went from laughing to crying.
As for Rio. He probably got caught up in the moment. I've found myself cheering for teams I have no connection with when attending a game and witnessing a late winner or something related. Thats probably "the love of the game" Modo is referring to. It still exists, thank God.
"Hopefully Gerrard will stay and you will be able to strengthen your squad and mount a real challenge in the league next season. I hope you do get the opportunity to defend the trophy next season."
Yeah, sounds like a Man Utd fan. Have you got any more proof from the 666 messageboards you dopey twat?
You're a scholar and a gentlemen P. 🙂
Just in case.
Not fussed on Barca but it was a hell of an achievement. PSG are no Milan 2005 though. And Barca haven't won the cup yet.
Comparison is generally futile but....
On a technical basis, this was the best comeback in terms of goals behind and of course it see sawed from looking to inevitable, to improbable to reality.
Of course I'm going to say our comeback was better though and here's my reasons.
1. It was the final
2. Milan were so so much superior in the first half
3. Our strike force consisted of Milan Baros with Smicer in behind - not Messi, Suarez and Neymar.
4. We had Djimi Traore at LB and Jerzy Dudek in goal.
5. We didn't cheat and dive to achieve our comeback
6. We weren't at home, albeit we did have a numerical advantage in fans on the night
Of course all of this is totally subjective and is just my opinion. Last night was an incredible match, trying to compare is barely viable due to all the variables, despite my attempt above.
Anyway, 2005 was better. Fact!

... and, most importantly, it was US!
We were all buzzing off Istanbul for weeks, months, years ... . I calmed down from last nights match after about 30 minutes (or maybe seconds).
To me football is about that blind love, loyalty & tribalism, not about being as objective as possible and looking at events through "unbiased" specs. Anything LFC achieves is infinitely better than anything any other team ever achieves.

Not really ... we were serious under dogs. Also i think most people would have thought that Barca could do it if there was such a team that could stage such a comeback.
The penalty on Gerrard was a bit soft. Gattuso pushed him, but Gerrard milked it too. The one on Suarez last night was softer though.
Saw the first half last night. Missed the second. Heard the result . No fucks were given.
2005 on the other hand seems like yesterday.
Still think comparisons are pointless.
