    The same things were being said in 2013 when Bayern dismantled them. They won the treble just two years later.

    Barcelona do this every few years. They get complacent and/or the manager tries tweaking things too much (enrique first year). They will bounce back, if they go out this round, watch as they push on to win la liga. Next year will be all guns blazing and storm Europe again breaking records.

    I love how bitter Man United fans are that Barca absolutely bitched what was probably there best ever team.

    Hope we don't get them next year. *. Sick of them. There front 3 is in decline. If they don't get that midfield up to scratch before the front 3 is done then they won't be competing for the final for a long time.

    I'd say 2 seasons max that suarez and Messi will keep it up.

    People have said the same about Henry, Eto'o and Messi, Villa, Messi and Pedro etc

    They'll replace people.

    I can't see it being as easy now with current finances. 70% on wages trying to keep the front 3, stadium etc. Now the money flying around for anyone good is massive. Hence the * in midfield they've signed recently.

    Iniesta and Busquets weren't fit, the front three don't win it back like they used to so their slow and unfit midfield got well and truly exposed and PSG walked through them in the end. Enrique should take most of the brunt for this result for making some inept decisions namely playing two players just back from injury in a game of that magnitude and playing an under-performing Andre Gomes ahead of Rakitic.

    It's hardly the same decline as United have had. Yes they got pumped last night, but it happened a few years ago aswell and they went and won a treble not long after, then a double last year. Barca on their day and if up for it can dismantle teams in similar fashion.

    Call me crazy, but this ain't over yet. I have seen way more bizarre things in football.
