Bookies have written off Barca

[atypical_boro]

Tempted to do the same now

 

[Marvanelli]

I agree with the Bookies tonight.

I'd have Bayern favourites.

Barcelona have looked out of sorts this season, especially defensively.

They rely so heavily on Messi.

Barcelona basically need Messi to put in a 9/10, 10/10 performance to stand any chance of going through IMO.

 

[McBrid]

Can’t wait for it. I have went and done it haha. Come on Barca

 

[BlindBoyGrunt]

They have easily the best CL pedigree left in the tournament.

Er, they have each been champions of Europe five times, have they not?

You get that from him, it's the rest that are struggling to put a 6/10 together.

Munich have only won it twice since the 70s though. Ok, I should have put 'recently'.

Now I'll feel bad if they lose

If Bayern were just favourites I wouldn't bad an eyelid. But being seen as such *strong* favourites in a one-off match at a neutral venue, just feels a bit strange to me.

Don’t mate. Doesn’t take me much to have a little flutter. And I always want Barca to win any game they play so I will be disappointed if they lose anyway

Pedigree is the club not the team. If you think there's value in that bet then good luck.

Reading this it would seem BM are a knocking bet at around evens, especially as some think they could get 4 or 5 and are probably overpriced as they are playing Barca.

It's got 0 0 written all over it

On a side note I love the mini tournament champions league format. Hope they keep it on for next season

I am a fan too. Especially with the 1 leg. Very exciting format

Yes, personally I cannot see a 4 or 5 goal deficit in a month of Sundays. Bayern might win, but it won't be by that margin. Obviously I won't be on here tonight if it happens.

me too, but don't think its practical (assuming football does go back to 'normal').

Ok fair point, but none of the current BM team have actually won the CL before, which I think is significant to some extent.

Thiago has

 

[McBrid]

David Alaba and Neuer too

I wonder how much damage the Liverpool comeback against Barca has done. It felt significant at the time, beyond just the result for Liverpool.

For a good decade 3-0 down against Barca was dead and buried, whereas 3-0 up was still no guarantee.
