No, but they overcame an injury time defecit in the final. I take the occasion into account, rather than just look at stats like most. I'd probably put Barca's comeback last night at about 4th or 5th all time.
jjust don't think it's that spectacular, not the first time they've scored 6 goals at home with 2 penalties psg were shocking, they should be embarrassed more than barca should be impressed
But the thing is Barca did something no other team has done, which is come from 4behind in the Champions League. Lots of teams have scored two late goals, though it was notable for being in a final. I will read what experienced sports journalists with years of experience have to say about its place in all time lists with interest.
liverpool was a champions league final 3-0 down at half time changed it in 45 minutes this was only 4-0 after 1st leg weeks apart, completely different games at home not even on the same level who didn't expect barca to score 5 or 6?
I fully expected them to get the 4 or indeed 5, I just thought they'd concede at least 1 and get knocked out. I didn't think they'd win 6-1.
I know, rather silly taking note of what sports journalists with years of experience think about things when I could just take the opinions of PR experts, Media Studies exam folk etc...
As they are both teams from the same city, technically yes. The Cosmos are just not currently in the MLS so they don't play each other. The New York Red Bulls technically isn't a derby though, as they are based in New Jersey.
I've spent lots of time with sports journalists and the main factor most are interested in when covering football is what the pre match meal is. The most common response from them during a match is "what just happened?" after hearing crowd reaction and they then have to look up from their internet to the pitch. I've also told the story on here about the 'I was there' piece for the 1-5 in Germany...
Every other thing that Ian Abrahams (Talksport) posts on Twitter, is a picture of the meal he's picked at each ground. Every single day, another picture of a meal, it's no wonder he's a fat ****.
I don't think think a team who have the best forward line in the history of football scoring a lot of goals is the greatest ever come back. And they were guided to victory by the ref. AC Milan were a world class team who were absolutely dicking an average Liverpool team in comparison.
Not back in the days of proper journalists like Hugh McIlvvanney etc. When I was a young lad my local non-league club kicked off at 2pm. In those days pubs shut at 3pm and the journalist reporting used to disappear go for a couple of pints around the corner and be back at the end of half time or just after and ask if anything had happened. One day, don't know what happened, he might have bumped into someone he knew, he was extremely late back and asked what had happened. Some older lad said it had been brilliant, we had gone 2-0 down but we're now winning 3-2 after the centre forward had scored a hat-trick. Poor bloke phoned it in as they did atvregular intervals so they could start printing and when it was discovered it was 0-0 there was hell on. Didn't see him again.
