Before the game any sensible fan would have said we'd need to take our chances, hope they missed theirs and get a bit of luck. Fvck! The exact opposite happens.
Tactics:
Surprised a bit but I liked it. Focused on their perceived weakness at full back and moved their centre backs for runners as a result whilst also allowing a high press. Big game to start Gomez in considering he's been out so long. I get it. Not sure I liked it. He's always been a bit dodgy with diagonals over him at fb but is arguably a better defender than TAA and there are zero issues with his mentality. We got done a bit first half there and would Trent have fared any better? Dunno but I know I wish he was there second half.
Thought we played well tbh and set up well to crowd Messi.
Messi timeline;
Me: We've done well against Messi. He looks a d!ck rolling around moaning.
*snaffled a goal
Me: Lucky but well gambled. Still done well against him the beIlend.
*smashes one in
Me: Great isn't he. Probably the goat.
Players:
I thought they all did well really. Gini better second half.
Mane and especially Milner will have their chances going around their head tonight. I know I have. Didn't think much of Rakitic, Vidal or Cout tonight. Pique class. Alba very good first half, great goal by Suarez. Stegen did his job.
Goals change games and the lads have not done themselves justice really. Gutted for them.

Wait you never outplayed them at all. They let you have the ball,yes it's commendable that Barce gave you that repect, But at no point in the game were Liverpool outplaying Barce.

Im not saying that. I'm saying that it doesn't feel like a 3-0, in fact I think we played well and so did they.

A word to the ref actually. Thought he had a good game.
Should have booked Rakatic for the tackle on Keita though. Thought that was naughty.

I can’t really knock us tonight.
Could’ve come away with a well deserved result but it wasn’t to be.

With our atmosphere and pressing at home we can win with a large score.
They are defensively very poor.

I'd be astonished if we won by four or more.

Busquets deserved a yellow too for trying to stop a breakaway. Ref played on but should have gone back to book him once the move broke down but yes, thought he was decent overall.

Please explain the title, I’m not sure what it means.

Oh.
I thought it was praising Messi because he hurt Liverpool and he’s the GOAT. The goat is the Baphomet which is a representation of Satan. Silly me. Reading too much into it.
Messi was the difference and us not taking our chances during our spell of dominance in the second half.

Milners chance though.
Oh and of course Messi smashes one in from 25 yards at 60 mph. Why wouldn't he? Just stick it in there. Easy.
This fvcking sucks.

Just the worst situation I could think of but I'm not at all religious or well read on it.. Should have gone with drowning in spiders I guess.
