la-liga

[iron marten]

It wouldn't surprise me if they'd do that..

[devout geyser]

🥶

[iron marten]

Ah

[torn ermine]

kevin prince is so goated for us 😂 😂 🥵 🥶

(as a meme player)

[iron marten]

Literally the worst Barca player!

[devout geyser]

why did Barca even buy Kevin Prince Boateng

[iron marten]

He hasn't done anything, absolutely nothing.

[devout geyser]

yes he has he sat on bench

[iron marten]

He was enjoying himself on the bench, I swear! Earning money for doing nothing.

[thin ivy]

They shoulda signed the other boateng

[torn ermine]

you could just pace abuse barca nowadays, no one will catch up 💀

[iron marten]

That's actually true, really. All you have to do is to run.

[devout geyser]

🐐

[iron marten]

See I mean, this is what I've been talking about. Useless players, useless transfers. Although I have to say, he's been at least better than the other ones.

[torn ermine]

respect the almighty messiah 🥶

[devout geyser]

Braithwaite to save Barcelona's season???? 🔥

[devout geyser]

tbh Braithwaite has done more than Kevin Prince Boateng

[iron marten]

Braithwaite | Skills & Goals 2021 | Barca's Saviour? 🔥

[torn ermine]

Welcome to barcelona | Braithwaite skills & goals highlights | The next suarez???? 🔥

[devout geyser]

I mean

he did get #9 shirt

so

🥶

[iron marten]

Which means he replaced Suarez!

[torn ermine]

its la liga rule to not leave the number empty, so i think they put it in a striker that is a 9 role lol

apparently its only braithwaite

😂

[devout geyser]

respect Braithwaite

🐐

[iron marten]

I wonder who'll take the #10 shirt, hmm.. Maybe Depay?

[devout geyser]

Depay 🥶 🥶

[torn ermine]

if messi leave, then yeah

or maybe fati, pedri

[devout geyser]

the other Blaugrana winning

Napoli 🥶 🥶

[torn ermine]

granada bruh

[iron marten]

I can imagine Fati wearing the #10 shirt. (If he doesn't get sold for a 33 year old)

[devout geyser]

cough cough Aguero

[torn ermine]

cold deal 💀

[iron marten]

Ice cold!

[devout geyser]

Fati + Foden + Ferran

🥶

[iron marten]

But hey, imagine Foden, Fati & Pedri playing for the same team. That'd be awesome.

[devout geyser]

thing is

[torn ermine]

actually a good one

[devout geyser]

Foden wont go to Barca

[iron marten]

Why not?

[devout geyser]

but Fati and Pedri will go to City 🥶

[torn ermine]

foden is born as citizen (city fan), he will play there for a long time

[iron marten]

Oh, and he's English, so..

[devout geyser]

Gary Lineker played at Barca

[torn ermine]

you barely see any english tbh

[devout geyser]

Trippier is in Atleti

[torn ermine]

the last time i remember was david beckham

oh yeah trippier

[iron marten]

Trippier, yes

[torn ermine]

its a rare case tho

[devout geyser]

Huesca remontada season?? 🥶 🥵

[iron marten]

For sure, they don't even know how to communicate.

[devout geyser]

ok tbh Huesca probably deserves to stay up

[iron marten]

They do

[devout geyser]

they are actually not getting trashed

like other teams

[iron marten]

Huesca should've won against Real Madrid.

[devout geyser]

not bad results

[keen gorge]

So bad

[devout geyser]

Messi going for another pichichi

[iron marten]

Isak has been good for Sociedad

[devout geyser]

Isak is carrying them

rest of their attack is dead

[iron marten]

Oyarzabal?

[devout geyser]

inconsistent

[iron marten]

Hmm, alright then

[devout geyser]

En-Nesyri is good for Sevilla

but they are missing Ocampos

[torn ermine]

Messi was on goal drought for the early la liga season

instead its fati scoring most of the time

[devout geyser]

if Granada lose today

we will be 2 points behind them with 2 games in hand

so thats good news

the bad news is

1 of our games in hand is a trip to Wanda Metropolitano

[iron marten]

But Atlètico have been dropping points recently.

And I'm sure Bilbao have a chance, considering that you have 'dark magic' on your side.

[feral palm]

Ranking the 24 first team players in order of how much we should prioritise their sale/termination.

24: Ansu
23: Pedri
22: Puig
21: Frenkie
20: Araujo
19: Dest
18: Trincao
17: Ter Stegen
16: Alena
15: Griezmann
14: Dembele
13: Messi
12: Roberto
11: Alba
10: Pique
9: Pjanic
8: Matheus
7: Braithwaite
6: Neto
5: Firpo
4: Coutinho
3: Umtiti
2: Busquets
1: Lenglet

[devout geyser]

Ter Stegen 17??

[iron marten]

And of course, Rian puts Lenglet the 1st place.

[devout geyser]

Ter Stegen should be 24

man is untouchable

[feral palm]

Nah ter stegen is losing the faith of us fans

Slowly but surely

[devout geyser]

but finding a keeper is hard

every world class team needs a world class keeper

[torn ermine]

sell neto and start constant rotation with inaki ig. Ter stegen is still starter for sure

but remember ter stegen is above 26 already

[devout geyser]

ik who Barca can buy

there is a goalkeeper named Alex Meret in Napoli who can be a good backup to Ter Stegen

[eager marlin]

Ter stegen can be in the Barca goal for the next 7-8 years

[bleak lion]

uh

[sharp hornet]

meret should stay at napoli since ospina is aging

[iron marten]

Do you really support Cadiz? @bleak lion

Hmm, doesn't seem like it.

[opal sigil]

Huesca on 19pts now

Trying to escape relegation

[edgy rover]

7-8 🤨

2-3

[bleak lion]

I do but

meh

Im not happy about it

[eager marlin]

thought he was younger, probably 4-5 years now. keepers can stay world class for a long amounts of time, especially with medical technology in the sport improving

[edgy rover]

He is 29 so 2-3 is realistic

[iron marten]

You're not happy about supporting Cadiz?

Well, your team has beaten Real Madrid & Barcelona.

[keen gorge]

Thank you Cadiz

[bleak lion]

it sucks

Andalusians usually grow up in families that support Sevilla or Betis

I grew up in a family that supports Cadiz

[iron marten]

I don't see anything wrong with that, you can be proud.

[bleak lion]

we arent as big as those 2

[zealous flower]

Barca draw with cadiz

Ill take it

[iron marten]

So what?

[bleak lion]

sure we beat Real Madrid and Barcelona but so what

we get shitted on by likes of Levante and Celta

[devout geyser]

Levante isnt that bad

[iron marten]

Well, you can support whoever you want, but don't think that smaller teams have no purpose at all.

[bleak lion]

oh god a Bilbao fan

here comes banter

[devout geyser]

I dont banter others

[iron marten]

Except Barca?

[devout geyser]

I banter light magic

with dark magic

[iron marten]

Of course

[opal sigil]

Ooo a cadiz fan

[devout geyser]

of scoring 90th+ minute goals

[bleak lion]

why does Bilbao always do that

they always score on final minutes

[devout geyser]

idk

[bleak lion]

being a Cadiz fan is hard

we are a tiny club that has no money

so we are forced to have 40 year old Alvaro Negredo up front

[opal sigil]

Eh Atleast ur in laliga

[bleak lion]

idk how we even made it

[iron marten]

Calm down, it's not like you're being tortured.

[bleak lion]

I wanna be proud of my team but I cant

cuz its not like we won trophies

or anything

[devout geyser]

I mean

beating Real Madrid and Barcelona in same season

is always big

for a club like Cadiz, that is a huge achievement

plus you didnt even lose to Barca this season

[iron marten]

Exactly, and trophies aren't everything.

[devout geyser]

ask Spurs

[bleak lion]

but my friends always tell me trophies are what matter

most of my friends are Sevilla fans though

and they always

I mean ALWAYS

[iron marten]

No? That's wrong..

[bleak lion]

talk about Europa League

[devout geyser]

Sevilla love that competition

its not a surprise

[iron marten]

Yeah

I want us to compete in the UCL though, tired of UEL.

[bleak lion]

some of my friends are Betis fans who say Betis is bigger than Sevilla though

[devout geyser]

Betico intensifies

[iron marten]

That's total bs..

[bleak lion]

it is bs

Sevilla was winning La Ligas when Betis was in Segunda

[devout geyser]

I mean Andalusia isnt that bad

[bleak lion]

yeah Seville isnt bad

but other cities are pretty average

[devout geyser]

thats how it is in Basque Country lol

Bilbao is good, rest are meh

(and this is totally unbiased)

[iron marten]

Are you talking about cities?

Or clubs?

[devout geyser]

yeah

cities

[iron marten]

Oh, okay then

[bleak lion]

what im scared is sure we have a good season rn

but what if 2nd season syndrome hits us

[devout geyser]

I doubt it

[iron marten]

2nd season hasn't even started yet..

[devout geyser]

teams below Cadiz are way too shit

wait we are below Cadiz

[iron marten]

Yes, Bilbao are just bad.

[devout geyser]

correction: teams below Cadiz (except us) are way too shit

[bleak lion]

we all know Bilbao just has dark rng on their side

[devout geyser]

we scored last minute goals in CDR

in every round

except semi finals

[iron marten]

I'm telling you, they have dark magic or something.

[devout geyser]

and we scored on last minute vs Barca in Supercopa final

[bleak lion]

cant wait for Bilbao to score on 96th minute vs Levante

and go through to the final

[iron marten]

Betico, is that you?

[bleak lion]

who

[devout geyser]

oh yeah there is a Betis fan here

@fallow ferry

[bleak lion]

bruh

[plain elbow]

omg, a cadiz fan!

[bleak lion]

I thought Betis fans were not around when Sevilla fans are here

[iron marten]

That's what Betico has said too..

[plain elbow]

my day is getting worse.

[devout geyser]

tbh thats what everyone says about us

Sociedad fans keep saying Bilbao are luckiest team

in Spain

[iron marten]

Maybe they're right

[plain elbow]

sociedad fans are something else lol

[devout geyser]

LMV, are you scared of seeing that man

[iron marten]

There's no Sociedad fan in here, I think.

[devout geyser]

there used to be 1

[iron marten]

Really?

[devout geyser]

wait

#813137010076286996

[opal sigil]

Trophies😳

[devout geyser]

shit

[plain elbow]

Lenglet....

[bleak lion]

Lenglet! Thank you for your penalty!

[plain elbow]

there will be peace when he leaves, but the damage has been very deep.

[bleak lion]

I see lots of Barca fans saying Lenglet is 4th tier defender

[plain elbow]

lenglet is sunday league level

[opal sigil]

Cap

Hes a highschoool team player

[plain elbow]

at first, i'd joke around about how bad he is, but now, I can't handle it anymore.

[fallow ferry]

who pinged

[plain elbow]

it's no longer funny.

[iron marten]

At first, I thought it's your alt. @fallow ferry

[fallow ferry]

who

[iron marten]

.

Read this

You've said the same thing..

I know it's you, Betico! You just created an alt to troll Barca fans.

[fallow ferry]

no

I swear

[bleak lion]

idk who this person is

[devout geyser]

Betico L

[fallow ferry]

for the last time, its not me

[iron marten]

Wow, what a coincidence. I can't believe he has said the exact same thing as you did.

And you know what's more weird? You're trying to prove that it's not you by answering with your alt at the same time.

[devout geyser]

Betico exposed

[fallow ferry]

bruh

its not me

you 2 are clueless

[iron marten]

And the way you two speak, very familiar..

[fallow ferry]

maybe because you think so

[iron marten]

Or maybe I'm completely wrong, he's your lost twin!

[fallow ferry]

what

dont be ridiculous

smh

[keen gorge]

Why would a Betis fan troll barca fans?

And be undercover about it?

[fallow ferry]

exactly

I like Barca

why would I troll them

makes no sense

[iron marten]

Idk, ask Betico

[fallow ferry]

I am not trolling

[iron marten]

Weird, as soon as I said that, Knight of Cadiz went offline!

[fallow ferry]

good for him

[livid yoke]

lmao, there’s drama here too?

[keen gorge]

I've seen Cadiz fans online

Wouldn't be surprised if it was legit tbh

[iron marten]

I'm just messing around, most people think that there's a drama going on when using "!", hehe.

But hey, I still believe it's Betico's alt acc.

[fallow ferry]

Sevilla and drama go well together

[devout geyser]

ironic

[fallow ferry]

@devout geyser win your damn game

[livid yoke]

oh right lol

it’s just football chat is pretty wild rn too

[iron marten]

It's you, Betico!

"Most of my friends are Sevilla fans though"

That's because you support Betis!

[devout geyser]

mhm

makes sense to me

[fallow ferry]

you 2 are clueless

its not me

I already said it

[naive marlin]

it

*wait

what happened

[iron marten]

Nothing

[naive marlin]

k

[iron marten]

I just exposed Betico, nothing new.

[naive marlin]

why does it say

knight of cadiz

in a ss

[iron marten]

That's his alt

[naive marlin]

oh

[iron marten]

I'm 85% sure

[naive marlin]

@bleak lion

hm

😩

[iron marten]

Stop pinging him

[simple matrix]

woah some major exposing going on here

https://tenor.com/view/puppet-awkward-looking-what-side-eye-gif-15476992

[young thistle]

jesus fuck...

[devout geyser]

oh its nothing

[fallow ferry]

ignore the convo, its stupid

[young thistle]

If you guys have any substantial proof or evidence of a possible alt, do not go trying to sort it out in your matter. Open a ticket or tell an owner about it.

[fallow ferry]

he isnt my alt

I already explained

[young thistle]

And if it's not serious then don't talk about it.

[fallow ferry]

exactly

[young thistle]

Don't make accusations from almost zero substance.

[iron marten]

Oh no!

Wingski, please let me post one more thing.

[fallow ferry]

dont do it

its gonna be fake proof

[devout geyser]

why are you nervous Betico

if its not your alt, you should be calm

[fallow ferry]

bruh

[iron marten]

We're just doing it for fun, Wingski. This is the last one, if you're okay with it.

[young thistle]

[iron marten]

Let's go!

[devout geyser]

LLLLLL

[iron marten]

Haha, I got you, Betico!

[fallow ferry]

bruh

a Cadiz fan saying that

[devout geyser]

but but

[iron marten]

There's nothing you can do anymore!

[devout geyser]

they said Betis is smaller than Sevilla

and you said you are in shadow of Sevilla

so

admit it!

[iron marten]

He wanted to make it seem real, that's why he put Betis down.

[keen gorge]

Wow this chat has turned into housewives of La Liga so quickly

[iron marten]

Alright, I'm done. Sorry Wingski.

[young thistle]

and this is why #rest-of-world-leagues is leagues better

by a far distance

[halcyon latch]

🥶

[devout geyser]

🥶

[iron marten]

That's what you get for lying, Betico!

[halcyon latch]

#bundesliga clear 👍

[fallow ferry]

wow

[livid yoke]

lmao, Detective Alicia on the case

[devout geyser]

damn it

[daring flint]

smh

well we got a draw today

was quite depressing

lenglet was doing alright until the end smh

he fucked it up

[eager marlin]

BAHAHAH

Everything's just going wrong

[slender olive]

😔

[covert monolith]

[zealous flower]

[covert monolith]

[keen gorge]

Everything is going wrong for us as well

[slender olive]

Good job

[zealous flower]

[thin ivy]

[quartz bane]

why he lookin so sad

[alpine socket]

Psg lost to Monaco 2-0 and we lost 4-1. How shit we really are

[slender olive]

Yeah

[torn ermine]

now in the state of us hating him, it makes me feel bad after seeing this

[slender olive]

Sigh

Such is the nature of football

We shouldn’t send hate but we have the right to criticise him

And it’s up to a player to either ignore that criticism and keep on their current path, or use it to strive to do better

And I hope Lenglet returns to form, he does have some ability

Perhaps he should go out on loan

[torn ermine]

when we look at it, he is still human like us and he got mental. But man, he gotta up his game from now on, if he can redeem himself, maybe things will be better (maybe)

also its too late either, he just renewed his contract until 2026

[slender olive]

yep

[zenith echo]

How can you draw against Cadiz

[slender olive]

ikr

[cursive whale]

by being utter shite defensively

[halcyon latch]

lenglet masterclass.

[keen gorge]

Would be a great day if Osasuna can win or at least get a draw

[slender olive]

oh no

[jovial sluice]

no1 deserves hate

but it is just that he smiled after making that mistake

and he does it so consistently

[thin ivy]

he should do the thumbs up instead like thiago alcantara

[grave glen]

Why is ramos injured until april

[thin ivy]

Knee surgery

He works harder than hazard in the gym so he might recover faster

He looks fine to me tbh

Theyre probably taking all that time to minimize risks

We need carvajal more than anyone rn

[potent spade]

You need Benzema too

[jovial sluice]

yes

[thin ivy]

Mariano didnt disappoint me last game tbh

He had this one really good dribble in the first half

And a goal

But was offside

I still count offside goals in my heart

Unless its by the opposition

[jovial sluice]

*2

[jovial sluice]

lol morata moment

[thin ivy]

Other one was asensio

I like asensio man but its always either hes playing crossbar challenge or is offside always

[grave glen]

Wait

Mariano is still in Real ?

[thin ivy]

You live under a rock lol

[grave glen]

Lmao no i knew that he is still in real but i forgot

That he existed

https://tenor.com/view/biwenger-marianopaca-titapaca-comunio-lesion-gif-12562425

Number 7

🥶🥶🥶

https://tenor.com/view/mariano-mariano-diaz-goat-godly-legend-gif-20195077

[thin ivy]

Ay he had a goal in the clasico

[grave glen]

I think when you are in La Liga you need to have number 1-11

[thin ivy]

Bruh i forgot hazard is 7

[thin ivy]

The fuck is this lol

[grave glen]

I dont know lol

[thin ivy]

Hazard better score 3 goals a game when he heals

We lost so much on him

[grave glen]

He aint the best Hazard anymore mate

Thorgan is clear

[thin ivy]

Lol

Its just sad

Mendy can attack better than he can

[covert monolith]

[simple matrix]

he was shit against valladolid, modric set him clean through for a good chance and he was offside ffs.. cant even hold his run against valladolid with all due respect

[bright comet]

Valverde was a legend

[daring flint]

yall should stop harrassing lenglet

no way this is real

[icy crypt]

I wouldn't be surprised tbh

He has his own E-Sports team

[simple matrix]

just caseHero things

[topaz crest]

hes repping the merch of his chair

[iron marten]

That'd be a great signing for Barcelona.

[topaz crest]

former bvb player

never really excelled at bvb

[iron marten]

It seems like they've forgotten their defence though..

[topaz crest]

we just can't defend set pieces

we conceded 3 set piece goals in one game

against gladbach

and the goals were quite defendable

[iron marten]

I wasn't mentioning Dortmund, I was talking about Barcelona, but yes, you're right. Dortmund's defence isn't that great either, especially Akanji.

[topaz crest]

one problem that we have is constant changes in the backline, never establishing a pairing. Zagadou is always entering and exiting the lineup, and now even can

oh lol

i've gotten too used to people correlating bad defence with us

my bad

[iron marten]

At least you guys kept a clean sheet against Schalke. I know it's not impressive, because any team can beat Schalke, but still.

[thin ivy]

Well seeing how he bsrely plays it wasnt too bad

[thin ivy]

We signing alaba for free

[simple matrix]

meh too much headless chicken runs, hes got heart maybe not the quality

[opal sigil]

Alaba is shit

And has huge wages

Rip

[thin ivy]

Since when

[opal sigil]

As a cb

Ask any bayern fan

[iron marten]

How would you know that he's going to be shit at Madrid?

[opal sigil]

Idk if he would be shit at madrid

But at bayern he isnt all that

Glad we didnt go after him

We need garcia

[iron marten]

Do you think that Garcia's good?

[opal sigil]

He alright but hes young and we need a long term defender

Because pique gonna leave soon

Garcia will improve

[iron marten]

So, you'd play Garcia alongside Araujo, yeah?

[opal sigil]

Yep

Wish man city played him more

[iron marten]

And who's going to replace Alba?

[opal sigil]

Well im going with what other cules say and that gaya from valencia

[iron marten]

So, you're not going with Gaya?

[opal sigil]

Dont really know much about him tho

[iron marten]

Who'd you want to see as a LB then?

[opal sigil]

But other cules say he is the deal

[upper drift]

Gáya should be in Barça’s bucket list tbh

[opal sigil]

Who id want isnt in our budget and is unlikely

I need to watch gaya more

[upper drift]

If only Bartomeu didn’t yeet Davies out because He WaS cAnAdIaN

[iron marten]

Tell me, who is it?

[opal sigil]

Davies but

Think thats too late

[iron marten]

It is, that's why most cules are going with Gaya.

[opal sigil]

Yea ig, need to watch more of him to see how good he is

oh for fuck sake

[iron marten]

Have some faith in your players, especially the youngsters.

[stone fox]

how

they are inexperienced

and Atalanta score for fun

ask @eager marlin

[eager marlin]

kyoko has the right idea 😉

have some faith

[stone fox]

Atalanta scored 3 goals at San Siro

[eager marlin]

well without benzema er.......

casemiro brace?

[stone fox]

I want an away goal

ill be fine with a loss, just as long as we get an away goal

we should have more players fit by 2nd leg

[iron marten]

Huh? Are you gonna let 40 year olds play or what? I understand that they're experienced, but their time will be over someday, too old.

[stone fox]

but what can youngsters do

[iron marten]

They can prove themselves, I've said that already.

[stone fox]

we cant experiment in these type of games

that will show our arrogance

[iron marten]

But there's no other option..

[stone fox]

yes there is

sack the medical team

[eager marlin]

[stone fox]

also Papa Flo recovered from COVID

maybe he can start

[iron marten]

You're very nervous, calm down. Remember when Barca B beat Inter 1-2 at the San Siro, even though Inter have played with their starting players?

[stone fox]

and?

Inter are known for bottling

in Europe

[iron marten]

I think you still don't understand, Gary. Wish you would've stayed away from Spongebob and never came back home.

[plain elbow]

decent.

[devout geyser]

ngl but entire La Liga is so close rn

Huesca can actually make a great escape

Sevilla beating Osasuna means Osasuna will sink more

[opal sigil]

Sevilla can take 3rd, we wont win laliga anyways

[iron marten]

All we want is top 4, that's it.

[opal sigil]

As long as we get ucl footy

[devout geyser]

Barca still has a game in hand vs very weak Elche

but so does Sevilla

[iron marten]

Yes

[devout geyser]

idk who they play

[iron marten]

Next match?

[devout geyser]

oh wait

Sevilla-Barca in 5 days

in La Liga

[iron marten]

Yes, and then again in the Copa Del Rey.

[plain elbow]

lmao

[devout geyser]

if Sevilla win that game, 3rd place is theirs to lose

[plain elbow]

and, it's at the sanchez pizjuan again

FFS

[devout geyser]

@plain elbow I mean

if you lose to Sevilla

and then fail to beat them

in same week

[iron marten]

I just want us to reach the finals.

[devout geyser]

this season would be a failure

for Barcelona

[iron marten]

We're playing away at the Camp Nou in the 2nd leg.

[devout geyser]

just dont choke

play out a 1-1 draw or smth

[iron marten]

I'd be happy with that

[devout geyser]

I think Sevilla will defend a lot

at Camp Nou

[plain elbow]

i have no idea how we're going to score three goals on sevilla, let alone keep a clean sheet.

[devout geyser]

maybe can get a sneeky goal in

[iron marten]

We have to score an away goal.

[devout geyser]

even if you score 3 goals on them, if they score you are out

a 3-1 win for Barca still sends Sevilla through

on away goals

and with Clement Lenglet in defense....

[plain elbow]

well yes, one away goal they get...and it's over.

[devout geyser]

I mean with Lenglet

a goal is inevitable

CL I think Barca are done for good

I dont know how they will pull another remontada

vs PSG

[plain elbow]

no way.

it's dusted

[iron marten]

They won't go through, we already know that..

[devout geyser]

Sevilla still has some chance to pass Dortmund

Dortmund are more favorable to go through but there is a chance

[iron marten]

Yeah

[plain elbow]

sevilla need to go there and score two at least.

[devout geyser]

they probably should try scoring 3 goals

idk how they will keep a cleansheet with Haaland

[plain elbow]

and, dortmund's defense is quite shaky most of the time.

[iron marten]

No, we should try scoring as many goals as possible.

[devout geyser]

Dortmund suck at set pieces

they concede from them

a lot

[plain elbow]

yea, they can't defend set pieces even if their lives depended on it.

[devout geyser]

I want La Liga to do good in CL

but I dont know how

[plain elbow]

kind of like us..

[devout geyser]

Real Madrid is full of injuries

Atletico is beginning to crumble

Barca is dusted

and Sevilla is on the losing side

[iron marten]

It's the worst league, what do you expect?

[plain elbow]

la real also could wiped in uel.

[devout geyser]

I said this before

no fans hit La Liga the most

im not saying with fans Barca would pass PSG

but they would not be embarrased 4-1

[iron marten]

Yeah

[plain elbow]

why do y'all think our teams are performing so bad in europe?

[devout geyser]

style

[iron marten]

Because we miss our fans

[plain elbow]

agreed

[devout geyser]

its about style

[iron marten]

What do you mean?

[devout geyser]

possession

passing a lot

[iron marten]

Oh

[devout geyser]

prime Barcelona were masters at possession

[plain elbow]

what I've noticed so much, is that spanish teams are struggling so much with the change of pace.

[devout geyser]

Real Madrid had best passes in their prime

La Liga dominated Europe because of how they operated

[iron marten]

Well, at least Granada won 2-0 against Napoli.

[devout geyser]

could transition from defense to attack and teams wouldnt know it

[plain elbow]

we're struggling gravely against teams that exploit width and press intensely high.

[devout geyser]

this Real Madrid isnt 2012 Real Madrid

that had best counter attack

in whole of Europe

rn Bundesliga teams are known for pressing a lot

which hurts La Liga teams

Premier League teams focus on speed

[plain elbow]

and this barcelona, is clearly not 2010-11 barca haha.

[devout geyser]

which also hurts La Liga teams

Serie A teams are resilient

well some

and they try to pass around frustrating La Liga teams

[plain elbow]

decades of ingrained possession based football is beginning to take it's toll.

[devout geyser]

possession means jack shit nowadays

[plain elbow]

surely.

[devout geyser]

thats why tiki taka died

[plain elbow]

everything is very vertical and one dimensional.

[iron marten]

Let's see how Atlètico vs Chelsea will look like.

[devout geyser]

nobody does "get the ball, pass the ball" football anymore

they just carry the ball to goals

and shoot

La Liga doesnt have that

I think Real and Barca struggling is another good reason

those 2 were faces of Spanish football

then you had Atletico, Sevilla, Valencia, Bilbao

who else

fucking Malaga got UCL football once

[sharp hornet]

ye gegenpress

[devout geyser]

if La Liga had gegenpress

they would be unstoppable

but it doesnt

because La Liga doesnt have players made for it

[sharp hornet]

true

[plain elbow]

well, hopefully the style of play will phase along.

[devout geyser]

you think Messi can press other teams entire 90 minutes at age of 33?

hell no

[sharp hornet]

bundesliga to pass la liga in the future then?

[devout geyser]

that idk

this happened to Serie A couple of decades ago

remember 90s was all about Italy

[sharp hornet]

yes

[plain elbow]

because, if we continue to ingrain an almost dead football philosophy, it'll be detrimental in the long run.

[devout geyser]

then they began struggling

because their defensive football became weak

2010s was all Spain

because possession was key

[sharp hornet]

italy relied on star signings

as well so it started falling financially

yea

[plain elbow]

players in other leagues that play modern football are also far more physically equipped these days.

[devout geyser]

I think La Liga is going through a transition

but it needs to catch up

Bundesliga is firing

Premier League is still running

and Serie A is reviving

[plain elbow]

idk if we're going through a transition, if anything, the transition is maybe just starting.

[devout geyser]

I mean

[sharp hornet]

yea true

[devout geyser]

Real and Barca

are also doing the same

[plain elbow]

it has to start with the bigger clubs.

[sharp hornet]

theyre starting the transition

even ligue 1 has increased a bit

[devout geyser]

I think Barca fans demanding coaches that use tiki taka philosophy is wrong

[plain elbow]

and a new style of play needs to begin the "ingraining" process at a young age.

[devout geyser]

that philosophy is dead

its done

its time to try out something new

@plain elbow La Liga needs a better president though

for transition to be successful

not this clown that is Tebas

[plain elbow]

tebas can fuck off

[devout geyser]

I hate how tv revenues in Spain suck

it hurts the cup competitions especially

like Copa del Rey

I had to pay 50 euros so I could watch entire CDR this season

[sharp hornet]

la liga marketing in general needs to improve imo look at the prem

[devout geyser]

50 euros to watch Navalcarnero and Cordoba ffs

[devout geyser]

La Liga used to have one of the best, if not the best marketing

why? because literally everyone wanted to be a Merengue or Blaugrana

[sharp hornet]

2 teams carried the league what happens when both decline?

[devout geyser]

not really

Real and Barca were main teams yes

[sharp hornet]

galacticos

[devout geyser]

but there were other teams as well

[sharp hornet]

everyone liked seeing that too

[devout geyser]

Atletico was strong

Sevilla as well

[sharp hornet]

quality sure

[devout geyser]

Bilbao used to cause upsets

[sharp hornet]

but i mean

the marketing

[devout geyser]

the marketing yeah

[sharp hornet]

everyone knows prem top 6

[devout geyser]

Bilbao is exception though

we dont follow those marketing rules

because of our Basque policy

[sharp hornet]

why not la liga top 6 too they would only know barca and real generally

yea

you only sign basque players right?

[devout geyser]

yeah

[sharp hornet]

wow

still a good side too despite not depending too much on signings outside the league

[devout geyser]

well

we bought Alex Berenguer this season

from Torino

for 11m

and he has been excellent so far

people were saying we overpayed

I thought we overpayed ngl

[sharp hornet]

oh yea him

[devout geyser]

but he has been fantastic so

maybe we didnt overpay after all

[sharp hornet]

i thought it was only a loan

yea

[devout geyser]

nope

permanent deal

[sharp hornet]

damn

good manager too i think

[devout geyser]

Marcelino has been good for us so far

even won us a "trophy"

[sharp hornet]

supercup

[devout geyser]

yeah

[sharp hornet]

imagine u win copa del rey too

[devout geyser]

well

we have to play last season's copa del rey final

[sharp hornet]

oh yea

[devout geyser]

it would be great if we win it

[sharp hornet]

real sociedad

whens that

[devout geyser]

what would make it better

is beating our arch rivals

real sociedad

[sharp hornet]

basque derby

[devout geyser]

uh I think its week before this season's copa del rey final

im not sure

[sharp hornet]

april 3

[devout geyser]

yeah

I remember last season

fucking Mirandes made semi finals

of copa del rey

[sharp hornet]

copa del rey has been entertaining

alcoyano this season and atletico being knocked out too

[devout geyser]

its underrated ngl

it never got same praise as other cups

like fa cup, dfb pokal, and coppa italia

[sharp hornet]

yea it is

[left sun]

Sevilla passed us too now

:(

[keen gorge]

Next game Sevilla vs barca

[covert monolith]

we're gonna lose tho

so

[keen gorge]

Next game for us vs Villareal away

[alpine socket]

If Atletico bottles from here then it's so comedy

[thin ivy]

wish we still had a sweeper keeper

thibout's great and all but a sweeper keeper matches madrid's style overall

ehem NAVAS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjmSAYg7r7I&ab_channel=TeoCRi

[jovial sluice]

we are gonna go trophyless

YAY

[unkempt dew]

best goalie itw after Neuer

[thin ivy]

Tru

[thin ivy]

I wanna see ramos play as a forward ngl

[covert monolith]

but why

it would only be happening in the late game situations

similar to how pique would sometimes play as a makeshift striker for us late on when we needed a goal

[iron marten]

It'll never happen anyway

[alpine socket]

https://youtu.be/nBitxLcsF5w

This one is good

Giving me hope again 😒 😒

[iron marten]

There's no way

[alpine socket]

Lol

😂 ik

[covert monolith]

so unrealistic

[torn ermine]

jamie's voice doesnt match his face ngl 😂

[iron marten]

True

[slender olive]

Yea he doesnt look like hes 20

[slender olive]

i was just watching that

very unrealistic

[gilded mist]

you can see his face?

when?

[iron marten]

He revealed it

Some time ago

[upper drift]

He once did a face reveal ;))

He looked kind of like ter Stegen + Puig

[thin ivy]

Just because. Hes also a very offensive minded CB so it would be nice

[alpine socket]

We should replace him with lenglet

Interchange them. Yes that's right

[gilded mist]

[iron marten]

@keen gorge

[alpine socket]

Demebele explaining Messi about how we can still win la liga. And messi clearly has no idea, he's shocked

[torn ermine]

💀 😂

[keen gorge]

Yes?

[torn ermine]

griezmann

[opal sigil]

It looks like dembele telling messi about the girl he likes

[iron marten]

How are you feeling ahead of the game?

[opal sigil]

And messi saying "oh kids these days"

[keen gorge]

Bruh

[torn ermine]

i was expecting the rat emoji...

[alpine socket]

Yes, the girl he likes but can't get her. I'm sure the girls name is "goal"

[keen gorge]

Really worried we never beat Chelsea at home

[covert monolith]

[iron marten]

We'll see what happens..

But hey, I tell you this.. If Chelsea beat Atlètico, be prepared for LaLiga banters.

[keen gorge]

I hope we go in with the right formation

[alpine socket]

In that case, I hope Atletico wins 👍

[iron marten]

Same

[alpine socket]

Atletico you can take away UCL, just bottle league. That's fine

[keen gorge]

Aren't you a Chelsea fan as well?

[alpine socket]

Holy shit

[torn ermine]

a lot of people misunderstood that CFC as Chelsea, sud 😂

[alpine socket]

Proves how famous Chelsea are....

[thin ivy]

Hagrid alarcon

[alpine socket]

They don't even call Chelsea fc

[torn ermine]

my god

[alpine socket]

Wtf is that

[gilded mist]

he is hagrid

[thin ivy]

Fatsco

[alpine socket]

Wut

[thin ivy]

This better not be real

[opal sigil]

That aint isco

[alpine socket]

Isco lool

[opal sigil]

Thats iscer

[thin ivy]

Lol

Hes injured iirc

[alpine socket]

Yes Harry potter Hagrid's mini version

Fit version

I want to see people's reaction when Koeman starts same lineup (I think he'll just switch Umtiti and lenglet)

[gilded mist]

maybe he switches dembele

[alpine socket]

well demebele needs his girl asap and every day

[sharp hornet]

lmao

[upper drift]

Will work tho😂

[alpine socket]

If you check his new video, you can see that guy literally has hope.

But he's not even sure if we can beat Elche

[iron marten]

I swear, if he uses the same lineup again..

He's gonna get killed!

[old stratus]

totally

we shall destroy your attack with Pique and Lenglet

seriously though our defense falls apart without Araujo

[sharp hornet]

lmaooo

[iron marten]

Yeah, Araujo's important since no one can defend properly.

[keen gorge]

With the way everyone is getting injured from Atletico there is definitely a chance

We face freaking Villareal next then the derby

[sharp hornet]

Wow

[iron marten]

Absolutely, Atlètico can bottle it.

[sharp hornet]

If u don’t win today I’m calling a bottle

[keen gorge]

Ricard time to shine

[torn ermine]

@keen gorge can you list the injured players

[zealous flower]

hello

[jovial sluice]

bye

[sharp hornet]

Smh

[jovial sluice]

ok

[south tree]

Sevilla have been good this season

Joan Jordan with another class performance yh

[keen gorge]

Vrsjalko, Carrasco, Gimenez, Herrera injured and Covid
Trippier ban

[torn ermine]

F

[iron marten]

Absolutely

[iron marten]

Hermoso LB and Llorente RB?

[keen gorge]

Lodi is injured

Vrsjalko is injured

[iron marten]

Yeah, everyone's injured..

[keen gorge]

Trippier ban

Well RIP

[iron marten]

Have faith in your team, maybe they'll win despite having lots of injuries. I mean, it's the UCL, so they'll give everything they can, unlike Barcelona. (I suppose)

[south tree]

It's a 3-5-2 imo

Hermoso Felipe savic back 3

[south tree]

He's in the subs list

[devout geyser]

why do I have a feeling Atletico will fuck up

[south tree]

They won't

Simeone is a great coach

[devout geyser]

Llorente RB

gg

[south tree]

And they fuck up only against Juventus

[devout geyser]

and Real Madrid

[south tree]

Yh

[devout geyser]

but Llorente RB

is yikes

[south tree]

It's more of a 3-5-2 cuz Atletico have been testing that formation as of late

[devout geyser]

wait its gonna be 3 back right?

[south tree]

Yea

[devout geyser]

no way Simeone is putting Llorente RB

[iron marten]

Didn't they lose 0-2 against Levante with that formation?

[south tree]

Correa will be RB

[devout geyser]

Correa RB

[south tree]

Lol

They have no choice lmao

[devout geyser]

go 3 back

play Llorente and Lemar RM and LM

[south tree]

They need to congest the spaces in midfield

[devout geyser]

or play Llorente in midfield

play Correa at RM

[south tree]

Correa RM is better imo

[devout geyser]

have Felix and Suarez up front

yeah so play Llorente CM

he used to be a CM/CDM

[south tree]

I say go with a 3-5-1-1 with felix as more of a deep lying forward

[iron marten]

Be prepared, Little Seal.. If Atlètico lose, it's all over. They'll forever banter LaLiga.

[south tree]

He's a Bilbao fan tho

Lol

[iron marten]

Still

[devout geyser]

im a Bilbao fan but im a La Liga fan

[south tree]

Huh

[devout geyser]

I want La Liga teams (except Sociedad) to do good

[south tree]

Lol

[devout geyser]

in Europe

[south tree]

Sociedad got messed up by Man United

[devout geyser]

good

[iron marten]

Yeah

[devout geyser]

they can feel pain

idc about them

[south tree]

Marcelino Garcia is doing well at ur club

The 4-4-2 is working

[devout geyser]

I would back Sociedad in Europe

but they are a rival club

and their fans piss me off

so im not

[south tree]

Idk I like Sociedad but Man United is cool as well so yh

[devout geyser]

its not like Sociedad are going through

United smoked them

they are done

[south tree]

But as for La Liga, Atletico , Sevilla , Real and Barca are gonna involved in a close race

Imo

The latter team has to find consistency and rhythm tho

[devout geyser]

Real is probably only safe bet rn

[south tree]

Yh but they have their issues as well

[devout geyser]

I would say Atleti as well but they have been in a problamatic form

[south tree]

Since adapting to a back 3 yh

Hermoso hasn't been that impressive imo

[devout geyser]

idk why they changed to that ngl

3 back isnt suited for a club like Atletico

[south tree]

To provide more support to Suarez maybe

[devout geyser]

it just gives other teams so much space

they are exploitable

[gilded mist]

Atletico are quite defensive, 3 at the pack wouldn't work

[devout geyser]

Real Madrid exploited them this season

[torn ermine]

atletico mid are pretty stacked tbh

[devout geyser]

mid is good but defense

[south tree]

Kondogbia should've started imo

[devout geyser]

I cant believe im saying this but

Atletico

has been a bit weak

defensively

[south tree]

Llorente could be used as a super sub

[devout geyser]

nah Llorente has to start

100%

[south tree]

Alr

I have a lack of knowledge about Atletico de Madrid yh

[gilded mist]

llorente really good, we shoudl've kept him

[torn ermine]

llorente is clutch
