A more balanced team won.

Barca is more attack minded than Inter, but Barca and its superior attack still lost.

In the group stage Barca scored 28 goals , while Inter scored just 11 goals. In fact, Inter scored 11 goals and conceded just 1 goal in the group stage which comprises of 8 games against 8 different teams.

Now in the Semi Final Inter played a high scoring Braca team and they still managed to defeat them after two legs because they are more balanced. They don't overly rely on attack or overly rely on defence, they are more balanced in both areas and were able to grind out the desired result .

Having a team that is well balanced across both ends of the pitch will always trump any ultra outscore agenda.

After creating space what did he do with do ball? Raphinha contributed to 3 goals out of Barca 6. 2goals and 1 assist plus 2 big chance created. Yamal had 1 goal, zero assist and zero big chances created in both legs. Yamal performance can be compared to Doku vs Liverpool.


Na this kind people godey compare hazard and sterling

But despite inter helping me to knock out that dead club I still felt for yamal though. Agenda aside. I honestly wished that boy can play in a serious team that can give him the chance to go for the biggest honours not serial bottlers like barka. How can someone be this good at 17 for christ sake? It even turned to a time it became yamal versus inter before their keeper put sand sand for his garri. How can you be making the right decisions most of the time at a very young age? Estevao come and give me this kind joy or even more abeg.
I live for Barka's downfall but if they somehow get serious instead of comparing themselves with real madrid or he leaves to a bigger club yamal will go far in football.



My prayers 🙏🙏🙏 honestly

I don’t even bother replying to those guys anymore. We’re saying Inter has one of the best defences, and they’re talking about goals. I was wondering if we even watched the same game. I’m convinced they were just checking Livescore. Sommer won Man of the Match! How often do you see a goalkeeper win Man of the Match after conceding three goals?

I won’t waste my time arguing the nuances , anybody with eyes can see that Barcelona’s defence failed them yesterday.

When I say "defence wins you games," it doesn’t mean you can’t lose or concede. And when I say "attack doesn’t guarantee wins," it doesn’t mean you won’t win. It’s clear English.

and if you are going with the "outscore your opponent" motto, i can technically start my own agenda and say "conceding less than your opponent" . but starting an argument that clearly has no verdict is a waste of everyone's time

Dem kuku watch the match, but they did with an agenda.

If Flick were to be more conservative in his approach, he could've seen the match through with scores at 2-3 instead trying to outscore his opponent.

Inter Milan swallowing goals is a shocker because how can an opponent comeback from 2-0 to 2-3 in a UCL semi final? How?

Maybe their defense wasn't tested all this while or they're not good after all or it's down to fatigue.

They might loose the final with that type of defense if they're not careful.

Truthfully flick and the Barca squad tried their best yesterday. They could have won assuming Araujo held down acerbi like a proper defender but dude was an amateur.

They didn't defend any shit infact they were embarrassed by Barcelona.

You can't comeback against Mourinho's Chelsea or tuchel's Chelsea if they are 2 goals up.

I still we won 2nd UCL with 1-0 scoreline against prime mancity and goal was scored in first half.

A balanced team that has defence and attack playing their part just won against a Barca team that is only known for its attacking prowess , u Dey spam my mention with outscore .

Shior ! 😏

Though i didn't mention you in my posts, so how was i spamming your mention? grin

A balanced team that conceded 6 goals in 2 matches against Barca, that couldn't score even 1 against Sociedad and Leganes. grin grin grin

The same defence conceded 3 against Milan and conceded 2 against fvcking Parma. The same defence that only got 1 clean sheet in their last 12 matches? Shior x 3 !!! grin

On the flip side, put a wasteful Jackson in Inter Milan as their only striker, they wouldn't have even got to the Semifinals. Inzaghi, himself as a former striker, understands the importance of a powerful attack/striking force, that's why he has like 4 strikers in the team. Be educated and bounce. angry

What if they didn't miss a fit Lewandowski or they had a Gyokeres yesterday? Inter Milan used 3 natural strikers in that game and we saw how they helped in their goals.

Barcelona must have learnt their lesson and get a quality striker to help aging Lewandowski and relieve the burden off Raphinha and Yamal. Your team will be the next to learn the hard way for not getting a quality striker. grin

Gyokeres no Dey there when Arsenal wallop his team 5-1 Abi?

Wo, if ur team is being dealt with striker go just Dey run everywhere all around the pitch .

If u watch yesterday’s match u will know Barca didn’t lose because they were missing any striker , they lost because they couldn’t keep the ball from finding the back of their net . They did a remarkable comeback from 2-0 to 2-3 . If they had a coach who doesn’t believe in that ultra out score nonsense , they would’ve been the one in the final

Side step what ? I never said inter has the best defence , u are the one imagining that talking point in ur head .

All I said was that they had a balanced team ! It means they are a team that doesn’t overly rely or attack or defense to win games . U are the one who thinks overly relying on attacks is the way to go and that was proven to be a wrong move yesterday .

Gyokeres in Sporting and Gyokeres in Barca will be the same? grin

The same Flick has been winning with Lewandowski banging goals consistently in the league and Ucl, despite old age telling on him.

In the UCL, Lewandowski has 11 goals in 13 matches and with such stats you can't bet against him not scoring over 2 legs when fit. The closest to him in your team in Ucl is Saka, with 5 goals. I know you won't want to miss Saka at this stage, think about it. grin

Egbon this balanced argument is different.
Nobody should be panning any defence agenda when we watched both the first leg and the second leg being a fiesta of goals, even acerbi has to turn makeshift striker to equalize 3-3 before they later made it 4-3 in extra time instead of trying to defensively manage the game to penalties and this is the team that had the best defence before the semis. If psg and arsenal play a low scoring goal it would be acceptable but for this one where goals na water. No.
