Barcelona must not make the same mistakes as in the first half against Benfica when they face Atalanta. Because I agree with you that Atalanta is different from Benfica. This team this season is quite scary. Apart from having the ability to take advantage of opportunities well or their goal conversion rate being very good, this team also has a level of defense that should not be underestimated. Beating Sturm with a score of 5-0, aka without conceding a single goal, makes us realize how strong Atalanta's defense was in that match. Sturm was only able to make 5 shots and only 1 shot was on target against Atalanta's goal. And I also remember how Atalanta beat Leverkusen in the Europa League final last season. At first I didn't pay attention to Atalanta but now I really pay attention to this team and what I can say about this team is that it is a tenacious and highly disciplined team. They will continue to develop and get better.

I said the second half could be different and it was as I thought. Barcelona managed to turn the game around despite being 4-2 down. They made a great comeback. Lewandowski's penalties and Raphinha's goals helped them win the match. Raphinha was very cold-blooded in his last second goal. He's really playing like a star this year. He's having a career season. He will collect the rewards at the end of the season.

Raphina this season is simply on fire. He is carrying the entire Barcelona team and he is having the best season of his life. He always scores a goal or assist in each of his last games and can be seen in the statistics. But still what an impresive win from Barcelona and they always make some crazy comebacks this last few years

You don't need to question something like that here even though it is a question. Because every decision that has been carried out by the referee in a match, it must be agreed by all parties Because the referee's decision is a very absolute decision and cannot be challenged by any audience. So you just enjoy the results of the match without having to blame the referee's decision for anything including the penalty.

. Raphinah has turned into an absolute beast this season, who could have predicted him to be this good? I mean, this is the same player Barcelona almost sold last season, and we should stop praising Yamal over Raphinah; that guy is so good.

If Barcelona find themselves in the same scenario like they had against Benfica, they will more likely lose the game because Atalanta is not like Benfica, they are still a solid team in the Serie A league and not ignoring the fact that they won the Europa League last season defeating both Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool.

The game will likely be tough and I expect them to capitalise in any of the Barcelona mistakes and maybe get a win or a tie against them.

City have started winning games again, their confidence is slowly returning and i think it is only a matter of time before they are back to the winning machine we have become accustomed to.

That said, their previous poor form has put them in a precarious position in the champions league, they absolutely have to win their remaining two games, and that starts tonight against PSG. The French giants are also in a big risk of elimination, the two teams need the win tonight and it sets up a spectacle for everyone who'll be watching.

Barcelona after successfully defeating Benfica will certainly continue to compete against Atalanta in my opinion this is very interesting to discuss because Atalanta in the 7th match has successfully defeated SK Sturm Graz with a score of 5-0 and Atalanta players are very extraordinary slaughtering SK Sturm Graz with a fantastic score. it feels like if later meet Barcelona it will certainly be an exciting match because both teams are teams that are currently in good form.

of course in Serie A Atalanta is very good and is a strong team but Barcelona is also the same because Barcelona is also a strong team in Laliga in my opinion this will be a really interesting match but in this match of course Barcelona is at an advantage because it is the host but honestly I find it very difficult to predict who will win this match because the players of both clubs are very good like in Atalanta there is Lookman whose performance is very extraordinary while in Barcelona there are also many strong players including Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

No doubt benfica did great in the first of that match or also some part of the second half but allowing such numbers of goals to come from Barcelona and also giving Barcelona hope in the last minute calls for a great concern, personally what I don't like is a team acting as if the will win but at the end of the day losing the same match, benfica good first half outplay was brought to nothing by bacelona and I think that's a bad result for them, Barcelona needed to be applauded for such a good come back, am one of those people that never believe that barceonal will equalize the goals talk more winning they match, the game of soccer won't stop doing what it's been known for, though the rate out which Barcelona became aggressive in the die minute was a sign of taking up responsibility, there zeal to make a difference worked for them in the die minute, congratulations to them, benfica has to avoid the repetition of what happend in that match, there's no way there fans and mangement are gonna be proud of them in that performance of theirs and that's more reason they should improve to do better next time.

Yes, that's right. The referee's decision in a match is absolute so we have to accept the referee's decision, that's football. Apart from all that, what is clear is that this match was very exciting, both teams scored hat tricks, both teams got penalties, there was an own goal, there was a goal in the final minutes. The best UCL match (so far). Apart from the intrigue, wrong decisions, and controversial referee decisions on the field, this is still how football should be, both teams scored goals.

However, even though Barcelona managed to make a comeback, it must also be admitted that Barcelona's defense was really exposed with through passes and less than smooth coordination in the back line. Barcelona was seen when there was no Martinez, their back line was not coordinated. Even though he was the unifying pillar at the back, Araujo could not be like that, especially when hit by an opponent's counterattack, Araujo was always the most panicked. Maybe this is what Barcelona must immediately fix in the future so that their journey in the UCL league is long and they can enter the semifinals, finals and even win the UCL this season.

There are still 45 minutes to play, Barca will try to turn the game around. But Benfica have a huge advantage. They need to cool the game down a bit and slow it down. If the tempo increases, it's in Barca's favor. I think we will see more goals in the second half. Barca won't give up quickly.

Barcelona did not win easily against Benfica but most of the time I felt like Barcelona might lose this match. Benfica took a 4-2 lead in the first 64 minutes. If the results are like this, then the team that will definitely be ahead has more chances. However, Benfica could not manage their defense well in the end. Barcelona scored a goal late in extra time to secure a 5-4 win. Had Raphinha not scored in extra time, the result of this match would surely have been a draw. When Raphinha scores, there are usually very few goals scored and the game doesn't go on for long after he scores. I can call Benfica an unlucky team on the one hand because to perform so well and be so far ahead in the last minute of the match is really like losing to luck.

Champions League teams are really not just any team, for example during today's match, of course we have seen Benfica's match against Barcelona and this match was really exciting and entertaining because Benfica as the host appeared very impressive and Barcelona was behind by if I'm not mistaken at that time the score was 3 -1 for Benfica's advantage, but if the team and players don't have a good mentality, they will definitely give up in that situation and may face defeat. However, it is different from Barcelona, ​​which has a strong mentality which always remains enthusiastic even though it was far behind Benfica at that time, but with full enthusiasm and the match was played with maximum strength, it finally produced good results which in the end Barcelona was able to win against Benfica with a score of 4-5 and This was a great match by Barcelona.

and honestly what I liked the most in this match was Raphael, he really was a savior for Barcelona and in the last minute he scored a goal which ultimately made Barcelona's score superior and of course Barcelona succeeded in getting 3 points. In my opinion, Barcelona will definitely have the potential to be a strong candidate to become champions in the Champions League and Flick as Barcelona's new coach will definitely want to bring Barcelona to become UCL champions. What do you all think, is it possible that Barcelona will be a strong candidate to become champion?
