sports

[sweet tree]

madrid gave completed a double once

[silk notch]

Not really

[sweet tree]

and that was 16/17

league + ucl

[silk notch]

Yea that more recent then Barca lol

[simple seal]

Barça has won 2 trebles

[hybrid hull]

The Copa del Rey was missing that year

[sweet tree]

13/14 was a double tho it's copa del rey and league

[hybrid hull]

wait no

[sweet tree]

regardless yeah, a 3 peat is huge but there's context missing

[hybrid hull]

Only copa

[simple seal]

Madrid has 13 chances to win a treble and did it 0 times

[silk notch]

Who cares

[sweet tree]

some of those ucl finals were also pretty lucky

[silk notch]

Barca finesed chelsea back in 2009

And arsenal

[hybrid hull]

but they still have 13 Ucls

[simple seal]

Winning a treble is a lot harder than 2 UCLs back to back

[silk notch]

Multiple times

Lmao

[simple seal]

[sweet tree]

the karius one comes to mind and ramos last minute winner

[silk notch]

Bro winning the ucl 3 times is much better

[simple seal]

The effort to stay alive in all 3 till the end

[silk notch]

Then a treble

[simple seal]

nah

[hybrid hull]

Lmao

[silk notch]

Yes u value the del ray cup that much?

Really

Whatever its called

[simple seal]

How many teams have won the UCL vs how many teams have won the treble

very little pull it off

[silk notch]

How many win 3 in a row

Only 1

How many win trebles

Multiple

[hybrid hull]

I'd rather win the ucl every year and screw everything else

[simple seal]

How much history do you know man

[silk notch]

Ronaldo has 3 Ucls and even a league title in 3 years

[simple seal]

Madrid themselves won the firt 5 back to back

[sweet tree]

Ajax and bayern have a 3 peat

[simple seal]

lmao

[silk notch]

Vs 1 ucl 1 league and a cup del rey

[sweet tree]

it's just the European cup

[silk notch]

Let's be real

[sweet tree]

regardless, i would too take a UCL 3 peat

[simple seal]

Bayern won 3 in a row in the 70s

[sweet tree]

but they're both hard to pull off

[silk notch]

Ucl 3 peat is much better

[sweet tree]

barça is still the only team to win 2 trebles

[simple seal]

It takes more effort to win 2 trebles than 3 UCLs in a row

[sweet tree]

I agree with that hog

[hybrid hull]

No

[silk notch]

No

[hybrid hull]

Just no

[silk notch]

Nor forgetting the la liga

They won

[simple seal]

A treble means staying alive and 100% in all 3 competitions

[sweet tree]

yeah, you gotta be alive in every competition

[silk notch]

3 UCLs plus 1 la Liga> 2 trebles

[sweet tree]

play every match with maybe your best players

[simple seal]

Winning 3 UCLs back to back means you just drop of the domestic cup and dont try as hard with the league either

[silk notch]

Who cares about the domestic cups

[sweet tree]

leagues are important tho

[silk notch]

Leagues are

[sweet tree]

ye

[silk notch]

The fa cup isnt

[simple seal]

It matter because

Messi and Cristiano WERE in the same league

[silk notch]

They were both in the ucl too one won it 4 times in 5 years while the other hasnt seen a final in literal years

[unborn sandal]

Derbies are different to knock out stages anyway

of course, El Clasico is when everyone is looking, it's the league game of the year, it is a big game... but players still enter to the field knowing if you botch it you still have X matchdays to amend for it. In UCL, you lose, you're dead

[silk notch]

Yup

Consistently doing it in the ucl is much more impressive

And actually doing it in other leagues and your country

[sweet tree]

the thing with ucl

[simple seal]

Messi and Cristiano faced head to head 3 times in the UCL

[sweet tree]

luck plays a really big factor in these matches

[simple seal]

And one was the 2009 final

[silk notch]

Barca gets lucky too

The chelsea game was the luckiest shit ever

[sweet tree]

only time barça had such luck I think was in 2009

[silk notch]

Van Persie getting send off

[hybrid hull]

Bruh u won't get lucky 3 years in a row

[silk notch]

2006 Henry missed every fucking chance ever

[sweet tree]

I don't think arsenal would've won that game with RVP

[unborn sandal]

Zidane's black magic

[sweet tree]

barça were already coming back before he got sent off

[silk notch]

Send off

Did help

[sweet tree]

yeah its dumb

[silk notch]

Come on that was retarded

Asf

[sweet tree]

but i dont they would've won the tie

[silk notch]

True but its not just madrid getting lucky

Also man UTd vs Barca was all on fergie

[sweet tree]

infact the only goal arsenal scored was a mascherano own goal

[unborn sandal]

well, getting a brainfarted send off is mental fortitude too

[simple seal]

Ah of course

[silk notch]

Rooney came out and said fergie fucked up his tactics and all players knew it

[unborn sandal]

that's what Ronaldo has, insane mental fortitude

[sweet tree]

that barça team that year was unreal tho

I think had they played a bit more defensive, i don't think it would have changed much

[hybrid hull]

2009 yes they were kinda invincible

[silk notch]

Not really

[sweet tree]

2011 they played a lot better imo

[silk notch]

Chelsea had them beat

[sweet tree]

than 2009, even tho they won the treble

[silk notch]

Ref handed them the game Drogba had every right to be salty

[hybrid hull]

Anyway look at barca now

[sweet tree]

yeah, the chelsea game was a bit sus

[silk notch]

A bit is an understatement

That ramos foul on Salah was a much more believable miss by the ref vs multiple shitty calls

[hybrid hull]

Ramos did it on purpose tho

[simple seal]

Man I hate that Ramos is so clutch

[silk notch]

I think he fouled him on purpose

[simple seal]

Cause he's one of the dirtiest players I know

[hybrid hull]

I love him for that

[simple seal]

And a big sore loser

[hybrid hull]

Sore loser?

[unborn sandal]

Barcelona need someone like Puyol

[hybrid hull]

Man u using wrong words right there

[simple seal]

Always ends with a red card when Barcelna batters Madrid

Like when Barcelona beat them 5-0

[silk notch]

Its crazy to think that I'm 2012 Ronaldo kaka and ramos missed pens vs bayern there three best penalty takers

Now Ramos banging pens in for fun

[hybrid hull]

yes that game still hurts

[simple seal]

Ramos is on course to be th player with most red cards ever

[hybrid hull]

Madrid had one of the best squads that year

[silk notch]

Doesnt matter he Is a legend

[simple seal]

And I think he gets fewer than he should

[silk notch]

One of the best defenders

[simple seal]

Loved every second

[hybrid hull]

Of all time

[simple seal]

Mourinho got fucked

Lovely

[hybrid hull]

Mourinho made Real Madrid again

[silk notch]

Lmao mouhrino got fucked but Madrid gets the last laugh

[hybrid hull]

Btw

[simple seal]

He also went crying when Barça dumped Madrid from the UCL

[silk notch]

Mouhrino installed the heart in that team

[hybrid hull]

btw I assume u r a Liverpool fan?

[simple seal]

Mourinho won 3 titles in 3 years

Start of his decline

He has won 3 UCLs with 3 teams

He comes to Madrid and barelly won shit while Barça feasted

[hybrid hull]

Mourinho is still great coach

One of the best

[silk notch]

Huh before jose Madrid havent made the semi finals in years

[sweet tree]

I like mourinho for his personality

[silk notch]

With him they made it 3 times in a row

He was essential in bringing Madrid back

[sweet tree]

I think he's done some great things in the past but hes past it as a manager for me, still like the entertainment he brings to football

[silk notch]

At the end of the day Madrid got the last laugh 4 UCLs

[simple seal]

He won nothing the last year and got sacked

[hybrid hull]

this dude is just hating

[silk notch]

Yea while barca losing 8-2

[hybrid hull]

I literally won't forget Mourinho and what he has done to Madrid.

[silk notch]

Bayern even had mercy

[unborn sandal]

Mourinho's issue is a bit the generational shift

He treats players in a way that fared well among players born in early 80s, but isn't working out much in 90s players

[simple seal]

Barça won 8 league titles in 11 years

[hybrid hull]

The only one thing I didn't like , is what he did with Casillas

[silk notch]

Ucl is more important

[simple seal]

Also 3 UCLs in that period

Madrid 2 + 4

[silk notch]

Yea before and during jose Barca had it

After it was Madrid

Jose started the Madrid comeback

[hybrid hull]

Damn right

[silk notch]

Won the la Liga with the most points and most goals ever and people call him "defensive"

[simple seal]

sure sure

[silk notch]

Lmao madrid were losing in the round of 16 before Jose after they were consistently going to semi finals

That's a clear improvement

[hybrid hull]

I'll ask u again u a Liverpool fan?

[silk notch]

Should have won in 2012 too

[simple seal]

who me?

[hybrid hull]

yes

[simple seal]

lol no

[silk notch]

He a Barca fan

[simple seal]

Glad Atletico beat them

[silk notch]

Clearly since they over hype la Liga

[hybrid hull]

Because I actually saw a lot of Liverpool fans hating Mourinho for no fucking reason lol

[silk notch]

Mouhrino gave us the best Barca and Madrid rivalry

[hybrid hull]

Maybe cuz he was with man utd but , the Problem with Man utd is Man utd just like Arsenal

[silk notch]

Those games were different

[simple seal]

So what United is no good for just winning 2 UCLs during Fergie's tenure?

[hybrid hull]

Wow hold up

no one said that

[silk notch]

Pl is much more competitive then la liga

Man utd rivals weren't Winning ucls

Barca's were

[hybrid hull]

I don't really believe that

[simple seal]

Barça competes with fuckin Real Madrid

[silk notch]

Na back then it def was

U had chelsea arsenal liverpool all solid

[hybrid hull]

La Liga Got two Giants simply that's why it's always barca and real

Doesn't mean the rest teams are trash

[sweet tree]

I think money is too much of a big problem with football, FFP as well

[silk notch]

The smaller teams in the pl are more challenging then the smaller teams in spain atleast during that time period

[simple seal]

If it's so easy why did Madrid only win 2 of 11

[silk notch]

They won 3

4 ucls

Seems fine to me

[simple seal]

3 of 12 then

[hybrid hull]

Most time Madrid lost the league the difference was like 1 - 3 points

[simple seal]

Barça 8 of 12, 3 UCLs

[silk notch]

As I said After mouhrino the Madrid comeback came

[hybrid hull]

Except the last two szns

[silk notch]

In the last 6-7 years madrid have been much better then Barca

[simple seal]

So Barça were clutch and kept the distance

[silk notch]

Barca were clutch

Not anymore

[hybrid hull]

No Madrid were idiots

[simple seal]

Of course

[hybrid hull]

They lost points against small teams

[simple seal]

[hybrid hull]

Like fucking draws

[silk notch]

Na barca were def better in the seasons at certain times

[hybrid hull]

A lot of DRAWS

[simple seal]

Yeah that's why the league matters, you see them lose vs bum teams

[silk notch]

Yea barca losing to romq

Roma

[hybrid hull]

it's not losing

Draws

Always

[silk notch]

Madrid could never

[simple seal]

Madrid losing to Alcorcon 4-0

That actually happened

[hybrid hull]

What?

[silk notch]

8-2 bayern

That actually happened

[simple seal]

In like 2009 iirc

[silk notch]

Liverpool trent that actually happened

[hybrid hull]

Oh

[silk notch]

Back when Madrid weren't that good

As they are now

Madrid kinda struggled for a decent time

[hybrid hull]

Lack of a decent coach

[simple seal]

The only difference between Madrid last year and Madrid this year is the goals against

Basically Courtois got his shit together

[silk notch]

Yea something barca can take notes on

[hybrid hull]

There is still a problem with the forward line

[simple seal]

They scored basically the same

But they received HALF the goals this season

[hybrid hull]

And the defense without Ramos is just shit

[simple seal]

23 vs 46 iirc

[sweet tree]

defense as well

[simple seal]

And that gave them the extra points to pass Barça this time

[hybrid hull]

u saw Varane I'm not gonna explain

[silk notch]

Lmaoooo

LOL

We gotta update that already smh

[simple seal]

And well

[hybrid hull]

Well messi doesn't deserve that

[simple seal]

Barça's main prolem is

every time they have to leave Camp Nou lmao

Is night and day

On the Camp Nou they are supernovas

Away they are mid af to trash

[silk notch]

Yup but weren't u hyping up there "consistency"

[hybrid hull]

Shit i still can't believe they lost 8-2

Like bro

[silk notch]

Lmaoo facts

[simple seal]

That has been the trouble of the last 3 seasons basically

[silk notch]

Last 3 seasons?

More like 6

[hybrid hull]

5

[silk notch]

Last time barca won a ucl was like 2015?

14?

[hybrid hull]

Yes

2015

[silk notch]

Lmaooo

L

Must suck

[white arch]

Why doesn't Messi cry like he does at Argentina. He's always has his head down no matter what unlike Cristiano who let's out his anger and frustration sometimes by crying.

[hybrid hull]

Not really tho

[unborn sandal]

Shit i still can't believe they lost 8-2
@hybrid hull It's one of those matches to be discussed for years to come, like the 7-1

[hybrid hull]

Yeah most definitely

[silk notch]

Lmao ever since neymar left they havent smelled a cl final

[white arch]

Muller says Bayern Munich's 8-2 win over Barcelona is BETTER than Germany's 7-1 win over Brazil

[unborn sandal]

the problem isn't that neymar left, it's the use they gave to that money

[silk notch]

Brazil team and barca team were both kinda meh

Brazil didnt even have thiago

Or neymar

[unborn sandal]

actually they paid to concede the last couple, that's epic

Brazil had a mental breakdown through all of the knockout stages

[silk notch]

Brazil team wasnt that good

[white arch]

This was halftime

[hybrid hull]

Anyway I saw many salty barca fans posting this , but they don't even know the full story this is why they r called 2009 fans

[silk notch]

They had fucking fred

[hybrid hull]

Guess what

Madrid won the Ucl that year

[silk notch]

Lmaoo

Its okay tho

[white arch]

Lol

[hybrid hull]

And that's the result of group stages

[silk notch]

The la liga is better tho

According to them

[hybrid hull]

that's sad

Really

I mean out of all players

I respect messi

[white arch]

How does one recover from this lost

Seriously

[hybrid hull]

and they don't deserve him anymore

[silk notch]

Lmao messi is physically done

[hybrid hull]

He is Barcelona

[silk notch]

Cant really run

[white arch]

I believe, pique is letting his self out?

[hybrid hull]

yeah

he kinda said that

[silk notch]

My man Ramos could never

[simple seal]

Barcelona's main problem is they have lne of the worst front offices I have seen

[white arch]

Ramos for me could've impacted that city game

[hybrid hull]

I still don't fucking like what Perez did to Casillas what makes u think he won't do it again?

[silk notch]

Na

Casillas was done

Jose was right

[simple seal]

Look at all those multi million transfer that dont pan out lately like jesus

Not a single great signing since 2015 basically

Aging team

[silk notch]

Demeble was a good signing

[hybrid hull]

yeah everyone is 30+

[unborn sandal]

Casillas wasn't "done", the problem is that he had pulled for years with little training and pure raw talent. He had to relearn how to be a goalkeeper. Was great for Porto afterwards

[silk notch]

He just didnt work out

No disrespect to Porto but they arent madrid

[simple seal]

Once Messi leaves Barca is the one thats gonna be 20 points behind lmao

[silk notch]

His fuck up at the ucl final almost cost them

[hybrid hull]

No cap Casillas is the greatest goalkeeper of all time to me

[silk notch]

He was a reaction passed goalie and his reactions were done

[white arch]

Barcelona I believe, used to develop their "la masia". At least that's where all those geniuses cone from. What happened?

[unborn sandal]

Nah, not the greatest, but he's up there

[silk notch]

Well thiago

[simple seal]

Casillas one of the best

[silk notch]

Is at bayern

[hybrid hull]

That's why I said to me

[silk notch]

Idk what happened to the others

[simple seal]

That save in the 2010 world cup final

[unborn sandal]

La Masía had that one generation

and Barcelona failed to capitalize on that

[simple seal]

Oh yeah didnt finish the front office rant

[white arch]

Selling and buying is Barcelona now.

[simple seal]

They spent all those million

[silk notch]

Who wants to go to Barca anymore

[hybrid hull]

Basically Dortmund

[white arch]

Not developing

[silk notch]

Dortmund are in a better state

[simple seal]

When what it really worked for them WAS la Masia

[unborn sandal]

IIRC they had some issues with youth signings didn't they? Kubo was in La Masía

[simple seal]

They have to invest there ffs

[hybrid hull]

he was

[silk notch]

Lmao well Barca trying to get Eric Garcia

[simple seal]

Ansu Fati is basically the lnly future prospect lmao

[silk notch]

He seems to be a good fit there to be fair

[sweet tree]

riqui puig

might be if he develops

[hybrid hull]

Messi is going to inter Milan

[unborn sandal]

It's so unfair for that Fati kid to be in the middle of all of this. Hope this doesn't affect his development

[silk notch]

If demeble can not get injured that would help

[sweet tree]

dembele is good yeah

[simple seal]

Once Xavi and Iniesta retired shit started to fall down

[hybrid hull]

No

[simple seal]

And when Neymar left wew

[hybrid hull]

Iniesta

[silk notch]

Barca got figured out

[sweet tree]

just needs to stay safe from the bad luck he has

[white arch]

Imagine that ansu kids breakdown after his first champions league. In a team he knows to be extraordinary in it

[simple seal]

Barcelona has become the mid 2000s Madrid that expend a shitton of money in a lot of flops

[hybrid hull]

2003* madrid

[silk notch]

Lmao the mid 2000s weren't that bad

[simple seal]

Only 2 that worked were Benze and CR

[silk notch]

Huh

Na

[hybrid hull]

2000 Madrid won the ucl

[simple seal]

Kaka was a flop

[silk notch]

That's a lie

Ozil

[hybrid hull]

2002 Madrid won as well

[silk notch]

Di maria

[white arch]

This rebuilding from scratch by pique is going to be something idk if it's gonna even help with these consecutive losses

[silk notch]

Khedira

[simple seal]

I meant after that

[hybrid hull]

So the shit show started in 2003

[silk notch]

All solid players

Only flop was kaka

[simple seal]

Florentino even left cause people were shittin on him lmao

[silk notch]

Higuain wasnt even a flop either

[unborn sandal]

Another problem with Barcelona is that there are players that won't get benched unless they're walking in one leg

For example, City can attract quality depth because they know there's a lot of rotation and they'll still be able to play 20-25 matches

But how many quality 9s are going to sit behind Suárez?

[simple seal]

Later he came back of course

Never forget Gravesen and Casano lmao

[silk notch]

Madrid actually had a future that was apart this Barca team doesnt

[unborn sandal]

La Gravesinha

[simple seal]

Idk how they reached Madrid

[silk notch]

Lmao they even had adebayor for half a season

[sweet tree]

omv

[hybrid hull]

He was great

[silk notch]

Was actually good

[hybrid hull]

Really good lol

[sweet tree]

they had di maria

[silk notch]

Adebayor seemed to really like the team and the coach

[sweet tree]

their future does look a lot better

[simple seal]

Was Adebayor the dude who ran the field to taunt heckling fans after scoring a goal?

[silk notch]

Yes

[sweet tree]

odegaard, kubo, vinicius and rodrygo

[hybrid hull]

lmao

[simple seal]

Legend

[sweet tree]

militao, and mendy

mendy is gonna be great

[hybrid hull]

Rodrygo scored a hat trick in his first Ucl game

[silk notch]

Adebayor was another player from the french ligue that arsenal were finessing alongside nasri

[simple seal]

Yeah now Madrid is the team of homegrown players lmao

[sweet tree]

yeah its weird

[simple seal]

Before they always sold them

[silk notch]

It hazard actually can get his shit together that would be really nice

[simple seal]

Etoo being a big one that bite em in the ass

[sweet tree]

they still spent 100m on hazard

[hybrid hull]

Hazard got injured

[silk notch]

Benzema scoring goals by himself

[sweet tree]

and spent money on jovic

[simple seal]

Hazard oof

[hybrid hull]

He was injured u can't blame him

[white arch]

Hazard smh

[sweet tree]

jovic didn't get play time

[simple seal]

Not as bad as Griez and Coutinho tho

[silk notch]

Itd always scary paying that much for 28/29 year olds

[white arch]

James Rodriguez smh

[simple seal]

Barcelona just wasting money like idiots man

[sweet tree]

James lol

[hybrid hull]

As long as benzema is still alive jovic won't play

[sweet tree]

guy was so hyped up from that world cup

[simple seal]

F James

[silk notch]

Honestly every time I saw james play he seemed decent

[sweet tree]

I think he was decent in his first season for madrid

[white arch]

Gareth bale

[silk notch]

They put him in a classico once and he did pretty good

[simple seal]

Man Im surprised Benze has been able to stay over a decade

[hybrid hull]

Bale is just retarded idk

[silk notch]

Benzema the goat

[ruby ingot]

gallardo to barca

[simple seal]

He always gets shitted on every season from time to time

[silk notch]

Perez trusted him when nobody else did suprised Perez showed him so much loyalty tbh

[simple seal]

By the fans and media

[white arch]

^Hog

[unborn sandal]

Gallardo? River's Gallardo?

Excellent pick

[ruby ingot]

yep

[hybrid hull]

Bale Golf

[white arch]

Bale also should have gone a long time ago

[silk notch]

Why does zidane just refuse to use bale

[hybrid hull]

he misses alot

Lmao

[sweet tree]

I don't think bale cares about football

[hybrid hull]

The thing is

[sweet tree]

atleast not rn

[hybrid hull]

It's hard to start for Real Madrid

[white arch]

The money suffices

[silk notch]

It's like with ozil I know god dam that ozil is better then willock or whoever's areta used over him

[white arch]

Bale is paid well at RM

[sweet tree]

I remember Carlos Vela man

guy was pretty good but he just didn't care about football that much

[white arch]

Willian to arsenal lol

[simple seal]

Bale is the bipolar story

Gets injured all the time

But

Is clutch af when he can play

[hybrid hull]

Clutch in finals lol

[simple seal]

Yeah that fucking copa del rey goal was incredible

[hybrid hull]

That run

[white arch]

City vs lyon
Do you see lyon somehow winning?

[hybrid hull]

Yes

[silk notch]

yea tbh

they got some heat

[simple seal]

Doubt

[silk notch]

city defense is very sus

i can see depay and aour causing trouble

[simple seal]

City beat Madrid, which came from a winning streak in la liga

[silk notch]

well its not rock paper scissors

[hybrid hull]

I still consider Varane beat Madrid

[white arch]

I know city are favorites and all but, it's football so you never know

[hybrid hull]

[silk notch]

madrid didnt have ramos

[white arch]

^

[simple seal]

Varane to City next seaason

[silk notch]

also jesus is fucking sus

i dont trust him

[simple seal]

[silk notch]

he misses way to much

[hybrid hull]

City taking trash defenders?

Idk man

[simple seal]

God those goals were dumb af

[hybrid hull]

Hated that game

[white arch]

Could have gone either way of Ramos was in..like a red card or winning the game somehow. He's black&white

[simple seal]

They did a Barcelona of trying to pass it on their own area

[hybrid hull]

He is White every damn game lol

[simple seal]

Backfired horribly

[hybrid hull]

Ramos is always good in Ucl games

[silk notch]

lmao jesus got the most big chances missed in the pl despite having the goat kevin feeding him chances and even mahrez, silva etc

[white arch]

Where's Barcelona's tiki taka or something

[simple seal]

I remember 2 times in the last decade where that did happen to Barcelona too lmao

[hybrid hull]

gone

Reduced to atoms

[silk notch]

back in 2015 like there last ucl

[hybrid hull]

Ever since neymar left

[silk notch]

neymar might win a ucl before barca does

thats fucking sad

[simple seal]

Barcelona's tiki taka is ded

Wasnt even the same once Xavi left basically

[hybrid hull]

Idk why people consider xavi the super midfielder

It was always Iniesta

The magician

[white arch]

Cause Bayern looked more like the Barcelona that plays that style of football

[silk notch]

it was always both

[hybrid hull]

Iniesta is something else

[simple seal]

Pep went to Bayern for a reason lmao

[silk notch]

well bayern did take thiago was supposed to fit right into barc'a syststem

[white arch]

^Asce

[simple seal]

He knew they could play like that so it was easy

[silk notch]

there whole team is really solid

[white arch]

Frankie de jong

Lol

[hybrid hull]

lol

[silk notch]

frankie de fraud

[hybrid hull]

I mean it's not his fault but

[silk notch]

actually absent

[white arch]

Vidal boasting

[simple seal]

Iniesta mah man

Also Puyol

[white arch]

How's rakitic still at Barcelona smh

[hybrid hull]

Puyol is a legend but his last game was embarrassing

[simple seal]

Once Messi leaves all the Barcelona players I grew up with will be gone

[silk notch]

i am just waiting for ozil to go on a free to juve like all players do to get that goat link up again

[simple seal]

[silk notch]

barca might be in a milan state for a while after messi retires but they will bounce back

[hybrid hull]

How's Messi still plays for barca?

[simple seal]

United*

Tras la muy mala temporada del Barça que finaliza hoy, vale la pena recordar algunas de las joyas de la Masia que tuvieron que emigrar y ahora sobresalen en otros clubes...

South Korea*

[unborn sandal]

honestly, the 7-1 was done in 6 minutes of horror. The rest of the match was a relatively normal match with a team better than the other, but not looking like amateurs

[white arch]

@simple seal lmao

[simple seal]

Their nemesis

Lmao

[white arch]

Remember that

[silk notch]

algeria and ghana were the hardest matches they faced in 14

[white arch]

Rakitc was incredible with modric

[silk notch]

2014 was more exciting in the later rounds

[unborn sandal]

Croatia played a whole extra match, with one fewer player in the squad

[sweet tree]

and 7-1 is still the biggest game I’ve seen

[silk notch]

and in 2014 they had insane goal keeper

[simple seal]

[sweet tree]

most ucl goals in a season

I think

but like lewa had less matches to play

[silk notch]

oh hmm depends on man city

[sweet tree]

He’s at 14 idk

[simple seal]

My first footy memory is Madrid winning the 2002-03 league out of Real Sociedad in the final 2 gamedays

[unborn sandal]

Fun story time: in 1999 there was a South American U23 tournament, that gave 2 slots for the 2000 Olympic games. Two groups of 5, as the number of teams was odd, each matchday one team would get a bye, and Chile's was the last matchday.
We botched hard our last match against Colombia, with a 1-5 that left us with a 6 goal difference disadvantage, which meant we needed Brazil to beat Colombia 7-0 in the last match.

Colombia got a bit too complacent and Brazil ended winning 9-0. That was the most lopsided match i've ever seen

[simple seal]

Yeah, quarters and semis is 1 leg this season

[sweet tree]

damn

[silk notch]

barca fan but ur first memory is about madrid

[simple seal]

So 2 fewer games to do it

[unborn sandal]

We went to the next stage, earned a slot, and ended winning bronze in Australia

[sweet tree]

I’ve only watched for a decade lol

[simple seal]

Idk about Barca fan tbh

They just had a lot of my fav players back then lmao

[silk notch]

ah so a bandwagon

jk

[white arch]

Well, bayern's goals now is loaded so he can score all three even in that city/ not ruling out lyon game. I expect a lot of goals

[simple seal]

Zaragoza beating Madrid in the copa del rey final in 2004 is another big memory

[silk notch]

depends on city that day

i can see them winning or getting fucked easily

[simple seal]

Also Zaragoza's legendary 2005-06 Copa del Rey campaign

[white arch]

Midfield will be key for city @silk notch

[simple seal]

They took down Atletico

[silk notch]

[simple seal]

Beat barca 4-0 in one of the legs

And passed

Then went and beat Madrid 6-1

[sweet tree]

[simple seal]

Man

[simple seal]

Pep sending Ronaldinho out started their dinasty lmao

[hybrid hull]

anyway Bayern is still the most unlucky club in history along with Juventus

[simple seal]

Those 2 legs were the most Mourinho games ever lmao

Shithousing into the finals

[sweet tree]

Nah juve might be more unlucky

[silk notch]

[simple seal]

Huesca

[hybrid hull]

[hybrid hull]

Shit I was happy when I saw Mayorca back in La Liga

[simple seal]

Then they started coming back

But wasnt enough

[hybrid hull]

Untill they beat Madrid 1-0

[simple seal]

As is tradition

All the way back to when Etoo was there

[silk notch]

what players do barca need to invest in to not be trash

[hybrid hull]

so anyway I'm expecting la Liga next season to be much more competitive

[simple seal]

Dude was on a mission to fuck Madrid over at any chance lmao

[silk notch]

it seems like semedo and sergio roberto been there for ages they dont deserve to be anywhere near barca

[simple seal]

I actually expect Madrid to cruise into one for the first time since 2008

[hybrid hull]

Real will win the League as well next season

[silk notch]

The Kings actually have a potentially bright future ahead

Vlade being gone is most likely a good thing

It's nice seeing these smaller market teams building up

Chicago ... they're pretty fucked for the time being
