Bravo Great result, OLY limited chances for Messi and co. Fortounis played an excellent match hopefully he brings the same vs Croatia.

Karaiskaki is a tough place to win, no matter who you are, even if you're Barca. That's what makes losing at home to Sporting so infuriating. Great fans today, great defense, Proto made the saves he had to make. I wasn't sure we'd get a point from this group.

Elabdellaoui should have been given a penalty Umtiti didnt get ball and stopped him from getting enough on ball.

True, they play the top clubs very tough at home like Barca, Juve, Man U etc.They should have gotten something from the Sporting match had they been more prepared in the 1st half. Hopefully they can still grab a Europa league spot.

Botia played his best game in our jersey tonight, Proto played his a.ss off too! Bravo Olympiakara!

«Ήταν φανταστικό το ότι κατάφερε όλη η ομάδα να κρατήσει το “0”, δεν θα μπορούσα να το πιστέψω πριν από το παιχνίδι. Είμαι 34 και δεν έχω ξαναδεί ποτέ μου τέτοιο κόσμο, τέτοιο κοινό, μαζί μπορούμε να καταφέρουμε τα πάντα, εκείνοι από την εξέδρα και εμείς από το γήπεδο. Δώσαμε ότι είχαμε και δεν είχαμε για ένα θετικό αποτέλεσμα απέναντι σε τεράστιο αντίπαλο απόψε, το ελληνικό πρωτάθλημα είναι εντελώς διαφορετικό από το Τσάμπιονς Λιγκ. 

Εκεί πρέπει να είμαστε κυρίαρχοι και να επιβάλουμε εμείς τον ρυθμό μας σε κάθε παιχνίδι. Τώρα χρειαζόμαστε ένα καλό αποτέλεσμα κόντρα στην Σπόρτινγκ Λισαβόνας και μετά θα προσπαθήσουμε να νικήσουμε την Γιουβέντους εδώ, με το κοινό μας στο πλευρό μας. Όλα γίνονται στο ποδόσφαιρο, υπάρχουν ακόμη έξι βαθμοί στον όμιλο για να διεκδικήσουμε και να κερδίσουμε».

This is a surprising result. First time Barcelona got shut out in the group phase since 2012. 

[Ellada2004]

Thats right Barca had not been shut out in a long time, love seeing Messi and Suarez and co. held off the scoresheet. Botia ran his arse off and  Proto made some big saves.

[Brklyngrk]

OLY looked like night and day from when they played Sporting in the first match day....

[Tzatziki]

The team showed a lot of character to get a result against a couple of the most lethal attacking players around. With this type of effort, there will be some sour allothriskoi very soon I feel in our domestic competitions...no more half stepping!
