la-liga

[stiff fjord]

They didn't remove the suspension

[chrome slate]

After reading what someone posted here and reading a few articles, I see that his suspension was reduced and now he is able to play against Milan

[stiff fjord]

UEFA never officially announced his suspension

They announced it very late

Therefore it was good for them to remove the extra 1 game

I'm kinda confused to but this is what is up

[chrome slate]

That karate kick to Bobby deserves 3 game suspension

[stiff fjord]

You're not reading what I'm saying

[chrome slate]

I did, and you agree that his suspension was reduced

[stiff fjord]

I'm not arguing/telling you about the foul

It technically was

but it was never official

that he would be suspended 2 games

[chrome slate]

Obviously, because I could not find any official statement and you said the same about it

[crisp phoenix]

@inner gorge I have a question, do you actually enjoy football of atletico?

[stiff fjord]

I do

In 2006, 15-year-old Lumezzane wonderkid Mario Balotelli had a trial at FC Barcelona.

He scored 5 goals for the youth team in a friendly game and received praise from the club's youth system coordinator José Ramón Alexanko but Barca decided not to sign him.

[grave glen]

so much potential

[vestal oak]

gone to waste

[rigid nest]

Barca made the right call

imagine the dressing room situation for Pep if Balotelli is in there

[vestal oak]

oh yeah

[grave glen]

Oh balotelli

if you had fixed your head lad…

[orchid crystal]

Pique, pep, Balotelli, Zlatan aghhh

[native sandal]

Within days of joining Manchester City, Balotelli was involved in a car crash.[256] It was reported Balotelli was carrying £5,000 cash at the time, and that when a police officer asked why he had such a large sum of cash, Balotelli replied, "Because I am rich."😂

[half lion]

that isnt la liga but lmao

I had a dream that I went to the bernabeu to watch ucl finals with juve and madrid.

We lost against juve and since i had a seat near the sideline i was crying with modric and kroos

Weird ass dream

[unkempt dew]

I’ve seen worse

[kind crescent]

at least its not as bad as mine, i had a massive flying crash with idk how many rolls in my debut in f1 at the backstraight of sepang, my home track in a new team petronas racing team (different from merc , similar to the one in motogp)

[grave glen]

we beat our rival

bruh

should we feel sad or somethin

[inner gorge]

?

[slate kayak]

i believe this knowing the club agenda is overrated

conte isnt a good coach because he "knows the club" he's just a good coach period

[grave glen]

of course he is good

no doubt

[slate kayak]

given how few former great players have succeeded at coaching its meaningless

klopp didn't know liverpool at the start either

barely any coaches last 2-3 years rn

[thin ivy]

Nah my point is that people should stop hyping xavi up

If he fails its gonna hurt him so much

Hype him up when he gets a trophy lmao

[grave glen]

the social media team of course gonna milk xavi

we just want improvement

and a winning start is good

[thin ivy]

Thats true

Anyway can anyone recommend a la liga/serie a podcast on spotify?

I already listen to la liga showdown but idk it seems to serious

lol

[slate kayak]

wait till benfica game

before anybody can say anything

even then its too early for a new coach to have true impact

i wouldn't judge him at all till well into the next season

‼️Barcelona will sign a manager for relations with the referees.

not even trying to be subtle

[grave glen]

It's just to have someone to have a say regarding the refereeing and not the players/coaches so they don't get sanction

[slate kayak]

have a say where?

why should clubs have a say at all about refereeing

[grave glen]

But if you insists on uefalona is back I have no problem with that

[slate kayak]

idk if they're back

but the espanyol pen was kinda sus

[grave glen]

Same

[slate kayak]

lets wait for benfica

im just saying even having such a person should be illegal

[grave glen]

They won't elect someone for illegal job

We ain't held by barto anymore

And have not much money to waste on such things

[thin ivy]

Make it out of the group stage first

[grave glen]

benfica?

Im not that confident

I think Barcelona will go through

[grave glen]

Rayo is so strong this season

[opal sigil]

Confident team they are

I have them finishing higher than betis in the long run

[plain elbow]

I feel like their lack of defensive depth could end up hindering them, they should try and sign a few in January.

[grave glen]

I don’t think Rayo has any money if at all sadly

[glossy ether]

man

Xavi joining Barca is really cool

but I'm a bit sceptical

Xavi looks like your average managerial legend

but idk if he'll pull it off

you've got Dani Alves coming back

also really, really cool

then you've got talks of iniesta and messi's returns, which I don't think will happen

[grave glen]

as always time will tell

[glossy ether]

I mean messi probably

[grave glen]

yea wont happen

[glossy ether]

but iniesta

definitely not

[grave glen]

both

not

[glossy ether]

but really sad news about aguero

gutted

it's such a bad way to end

[grave glen]

nothing official yet but yeah very sad

but health is more important

[glossy ether]

I wanna see him travel to manchester

and have his deserved farewell

if he ended his career winning the champions league

in a beautifully poetic way

He said "I'm not going to leave man city until I win the champions league"

and he could've done it in his last match

I also would've loved to see him wearing the shirt that was a tribute to him this season

tbf

if he goes on the same path

[knotty yacht]

Oh please stop

[glossy ether]

but it's really impossible

because messi's the GOAT

I hope he doesn't go through Messi's path

because I love Messi

and I don't want Barca causing problems against us

[glossy ether]

No u

there's only one relevant side of madrid

Nowadays he'll only get that distance in a golfing session

[knotty yacht]

Still got a ucl

Actually

it was karius man

A team

a team made out of your spare change

beat you 2-1

how about that?

yeaaaahhhh

now you're quiet

as you should be

[ripe field]

who invited my man blud 😭

[knotty yacht]

I didn’t lose 7-2 to Aston Villa

Way more embarrassing

[knotty yacht]

Bruh😂😂 I don’t spend my whole life on discord

Couldn’t be asked with ur nonsense

Yeah we lost to sheriff we still beat u

3-1

Twice

7-2

Aston Villa

Lol

[fading ember]

No abde sad

He isn’t registered to play in UCL

Big F

[grave glen]

abde being the one who brave enough to dribble past players

[fading ember]

Yup

I hope he fulfils his potential

[grave glen]

in the other hand

Demir

How will barca play y’all think?

Dembele - Memphis - Coutinho?

Or will coutinho be in mid

ngl I dont know how xavi operate yet

Hope he tries to do tiki taka

if cou plays

I hope he doesnt lose balls as much as the last few games

yes

slim but yes

I hope xavi gives him at least a chance

Umtiti in early barca seasons was good

[knotty yacht]

Umtiti starting > lenglet starting

Umtiti was so good back then

[grave glen]

umtiti is good on the ball too

Prime umtiti clear of Militao

he only lacks pace

so ||we|| are dead during counters

injury

after wc

then he became a model

His knee is fucked

[trail swift]

who had a better career at liverpool suarez or coutinho

[grave glen]

Umtiti has a destroyed knee

I would say suarez

That suarez totally carried that team

But coutinho had his function of course

[trail swift]

yea

[grave glen]

Suarez was the absolute star anyway

[trail swift]

him and origi

i think

[grave glen]

That brendan rodgers Liverpool was almost winning the league

[trail swift]

or it was someone else

[grave glen]

People forget

No it was sturridge

origi?

origi came way later

origi doesnt exist yet

[trail swift]

it was him and someone being compared to the teams

[grave glen]

Sturridge-suarez and coutinho

[trail swift]

i forgot who was it ma bad

[grave glen]

You had henderson in mid

[trail swift]

oh fuck sturridge ma bad

[grave glen]

first season that hendo really exploded as leader

They had sterling too

That 2013/14 liverpool was boss

And… Aspas 💀

[knotty yacht]

What a shit comparison

[grave glen]

Let me correct

Prime umtiti clear of prime militao

[knotty yacht]

Wtf is prime militao

Dude is young

Still

[fading ember]

Injury ruined him

Till the 2018 world cup he was world class

[grave glen]

Agree

[knotty yacht]

Ffs I can’t even reply to someone without them saying I’m salty😂

[grave glen]

I think with Xavi making a return to Barcelona Umtiti and Dembele will improve in form

[fading ember]

Dembele maybe

Umtiti seems hopeless

Dembele needs discipline

He still shows sparks here & there

[grave glen]

It seems like the Barcelona board agrees because there’s rumors his contract will be terminated

[fading ember]

I don’t think his contract will be terminated
But he maybe shipped out

If an offer comes

Which is also very unlikely

Unless he agrees to lower his wage significantly

[grave glen]

I doubt he will

But I feel like Barcelona’s backline would fare well without him

Personally I’m really optimistic about Araujo

I’d start him over Mingueza and Garcia.

[fading ember]

Yeah araujo has a bright future

[grave glen]

I’m anxious about tonight’s game

Crucial for Barça and Xavi

Yeah Umtiti seems broken down

these long term injuries really affect the player mentally

[thin ivy]

Peak Clasico

[fading ember]

Na 2018-19 was peak imo

2010-15 was prime of clasico’s imo

Games were actually close & intense

2017 3-2 was the last one which actually was intense and even

[knotty yacht]

2016 was good too

Well

Not the first one

[inner gorge]

Ooo

2017 where messi held his shirt was hella cold

[knotty yacht]

Ffs

[fading ember]

That was a good win for madrid
But barca were pretty far ahead already in La Liga that time

[knotty yacht]

Yeah I just liked the match

[fading ember]

Yeah it was intense

Could have gone either way

[grave glen]

The best matches were the ones Pique did ✋

Might be a little biased 😉

[fading ember]

Yeah La Manita was great

😛

[inner gorge]

Was it 2016 or 2015

Like top 3 teams where so close

[lost breach]

Hi

[fading ember]

2015 was just barca & madrid

[fading ember]

2014

The year atleti won

All three were pretty close

[inner gorge]

2015 too

[fading ember]

Oh yeah

Barca were too ahead for most part

But in the end dropped a lot of points

[inner gorge]

It was hella competitive like 4th place was just fighting for 4th place

[knotty yacht]

Malaga fell off badly

[fading ember]

Malaga are an example

That oil money doesn’t mean success for eternity

[karmic jungle]

Villarreal 🇪🇸 11: Rulli; Estupiñán, Torres, Albiol, Foyth; Parejo, Capoue, Trigueros; Gómez; Pino, Danjuma. Formation: 4x3x3 False 9

Man United 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 11: De Gea; Telles, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Fred; Martial (1), van de Beek, Sancho; Ronaldo. Formation: 4x2x3x1

(1) -> 1st game in UCL this season

[grave glen]

4231?

Hm

[knotty yacht]

Donny played he came off the bench vs Atalanta

[grave glen]

The 1 is for Martial

Jeez I kind of forgot about Martial

[lucid meadow]

isn’t that the last year of MSN

[fading ember]

Second last

[karmic jungle]

VDB will make the difference, since he is finally a starter?

[fading ember]

Last was 16-17

[knotty yacht]

Maybe but mcfred will make the difference but negatively

[inner gorge]

Nope

[trail swift]

2nd

That's when neymar had a short hair

Very

[grave glen]

Araujo starting!

Nico starting was a bit unexpected to me

Demir starting

[opal sigil]

Totally not confident

Needed fati man

[native sandal]

Memphis the only player who can score

gotta depend on him

[lucid meadow]

definitely not seen the last few games

[crisp phoenix]

why pique?

[grave glen]

Be hopeful

This is by far not our worst squad

Sure Fati is missing but Xavi knows what he’s doing

[grave glen]

You’d take Garcia over Pique?

[crisp phoenix]

probably yes

[grave glen]

🤔

Questionable choice

Lineup is confirmed to be a 4-3-3 with Araujo at RB.

[crisp phoenix]

mingueza is injured?

[grave glen]

No

[lucid meadow]

yes

but in this setup pique is essential + experience

it was more a choice between garcia and lenglet

[lucid meadow]

he had a shit game vs espanyol

[grave glen]

What’s up with Roberto?

[lucid meadow]

not fit

[grave glen]

Just play him at RB and put Araujo at CB instead of Lenglet

[grave glen]

Oh.

Last match he played was vs Rayo right?

[lucid meadow]

yes and xavi won’t go with two stoppers, araujo is below average in ball playing

[grave glen]

Yeah I’m pretty sure Xavi has a CB who’d join the attack and one that stays back

[lucid meadow]

on point

[grave glen]

What about Garcia? Don’t know a lot about the kid

[lucid meadow]

very good

he had a poor start but he’s been extremely effective recently both for spain and us

[grave glen]

I’m just a bit upset Lenglet is starting

I don’t like him..

[lucid meadow]

it’s his redemption game

[grave glen]

I hope so

[lucid meadow]

if he doesn’t perform in this one he’s not playing anytime soon

[grave glen]

I’d be glad to have Garcia over him

[karmic jungle]

Barcelona 🇪🇸 11: ter Stegen; Alba, Lenglet, Piqué, Araújo; de Jong, Busquets, González; Gavi, Depay, Demir. Formation: 4x3x3

Benfica 🇵🇹 11: Odysseas; Vertonghen, Otamendi, Almeida; Grimaldo, Mário, Weigl, Gilberto; Everton, Rafa; Yaremchuk. Formation: 3x4x2x1

[grave glen]

I feel like Couthino has a shot at redemption too

I saw him play vs Espanyol and it looked like he actually wanted to play

Probably will come on as a sub for Gavi or Nico

[lucid meadow]

coutinho is better getting sold

frees up a spot for a better midfielder coming from the academy

say casado or txus alba

[crisp phoenix]

umtitis friend lenglet wont be on bench with him

umtiti will be sad

[grave glen]

If he doesn’t perform better soon I’ll agree

Umtiti is a lost case to me

Lenglet also for now

[crisp phoenix]

i would give umtiti a chance

[grave glen]

Dembele maybe, Umtiti hmmm

[lucid meadow]

once he’s fit which hasn’t been in 3 years

[lucid meadow]

last chance tonight

[grave glen]

We have more promising defenders that could take Umtiti’s place

Don’t forget Wague returning soon

[grave glen]

Yes

[lucid meadow]

not first team level and he’s a RB

[grave glen]

Hasn’t he played at CB for the B team before?

I guess it’s better for him to go on another loan/sign with the B again, but still better than Umtiti

[karmic jungle]

Sevilla 🇪🇸 11: Bono; Acuña, Carlos, Koundé, Montiel; Rakitic, Fernando, Jordán; Gómez, El Haddadi, Ocampos. Formation: 4x3x3

Wolfsburg 🇩🇪 11: Pervan (1); Brooks, Guilavogui, Lacroix; Roussillon, Arnold, Vranckx, Baku; Gerhardt, Nmecha; Weghorst. Formation: 3x4x2x1

(1) -> 1st game in UCL this season

[lucid meadow]

he’s been injured for a year now, he’ll have to start from the scratch

but if you mention defenders, we have some good CBs in comas and mika marmol

[grave glen]

Marmol is a really solid player imo, I can see him flourishing under Xavi

[ripe plover]

Why no Davi Alves right back 😔

Araujo back tho is good

Oh yeah cl

Lol

I know

That’s why Bayern have only 5 players now on the bench

[grave glen]

I hope a 2-0 Barca win

But I’m kind of anxious..

[lucid meadow]

2-1

if we lose or draw we’re out

[grave glen]

I swear to god if Lenglet doesn’t turn into Prime Puyol I’m going to get him sold myself

[slender olive]

1-0

[snow spire]

[grave glen]

as expected a draw

then we will win against bayern and go through

[hearty sigil]

Do you guys think it's game over for Barcelona?

Like next matchday, Benfica is at home against Dynamo

and we know that Benfica has an advantage at home against Dynamo

and Dynamo was a bad team during the tournament

plus, Barca is facing Bayern next time

and this time Bayern is at home.

[knotty yacht]

Depay is so bad

Holy shit

That was a howler preformance

[grave glen]

Spot the fraud

[knotty yacht]

Depay as main striker is just not it

[hearty sigil]

Isn't Depay a left winger?

like if Barcelona want to get out the best of Depay, they should play him in his natural position.

[iron marten]

What happened at Barcelona

How did they play

[knotty yacht]

Seferovic

Is

A

Fraud

All I have to say

[grave glen]

We played well created 500 chances but scored 0

[iron marten]

Yeah but Xavi needs time

Don't get sad

[grave glen]

I do not blame Xavi at all and no one should

[iron marten]

0-0 at Camp Nou is tough

[grave glen]

We just don’t have any attackers

Dembele was great

But he got subbed on

[hearty sigil]

Barcelona should sign some attackers with their money they have

how much do Barcelona have to sign?

[grave glen]

HOPEFULLY

We will have Ansu and Dembele

For Bayern game

[hearty sigil]

anyways

xavi should play depay as a left winger.

but he's also a good attacking midfielder.

[knotty yacht]

Bruh at this point put ansu as striker

[grave glen]

He can play there

He played there against Madrid but he swapped with Depay a lot of times

[fading ember]

Good performance
But 0 output thanks to depay

[iron marten]

Depay is a fraud

Only scores pens

[half lion]

what.

@fading ember what do u with this

[iron marten]

Braithwaite would be better, trust me

Even I miss Braithwaite

He was good

Braithwaite > Depay

[half lion]

Luuk prob wld hv been better than Depay today

[knotty yacht]

Bruh hearing all the Barca fans hyping depay up in the summer got me braindamage

[half lion]

Depay was good and now

he becomes even worse than Luuk

Depay offside merchant

[knotty yacht]

When half of depay’s goals are pens🤩🤩

[fading ember]

?

Message is deleted ig I can’t see what you pinged me at

[hearty sigil]

Depay might actually be good for Barca if they play him in his natural position.

Time for Barca to buy some new attackers.

[bright meadow]

Memphis Flopay

[fading ember]

Next time just use 🆘

[half lion]

i got screenshot

[hearty sigil]

55 million left.

sign now barca

[knotty yacht]

Bruh they can only spend 10 mill on jan

[hearty sigil]

didn't know

[mellow light]

Well that's benfica qualified

Just need sporting and porto now

[orchid crystal]

@opal sigil Depay today 😂

[opal sigil]

😬

[grave glen]

Spot the fraud

[opal sigil]

U were right man, what a fraud

[broken cobalt]

Fraud means Atletico Madrid

[orchid crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/don-robbie-robbie-aftv-cigar-pack-gif-19761259

I’m aliveeee

[opal sigil]

😭

[grave glen]

Ngl depay underperforming

Man makes too many unnecessary movements and passes

The positive is that dembele showing he can step up

and the team played rather well

[plain elbow]

Xavi needs a striker. We can’t be playing false nines, it won’t work with his system.

[grave glen]

Was about to say that

[plain elbow]

For Depay to work centrally, you need the wingers (or wide forwards in this case) to be making far more runs into the box. And, that’s not how Xavi’s system particularly works.

[grave glen]

Demir kinda remind me of trincao tbh

[plain elbow]

Depay’s movement was awful today, but partly limited because of this.

[grave glen]

I think Xavi should stick with whatever formation he used today

Just no lenglet

Lenglet played well

Contributed up the pitch too

He is good on the ball

[slender olive]

Honestly good performance but horrible finishing

[grave glen]

Yea like lmv said above

[slender olive]

Yes, Europa league will be humiliating but I’d sacrifice that for a better future

[grave glen]

We still have bayern

[slender olive]

plus if Bayern plays their b team

[grave glen]

No worries

[slender olive]

and we really turn up

[plain elbow]

The only forward we’ve got that has the profile that we’re looking for is Luuk De Jong, but he can’t be a long term option here.

[slender olive]

Then yeah perhaps

I dunno Bayern have looked shaky

[grave glen]

Not sure if xavi gonna rely on him

[slender olive]

But we still have a couple games left to build up momentum

[grave glen]

Luuk and umtiti might be leaving near future

[slender olive]

and if they play their b team, then yes we can win at Allianz

If they DONT play their b team, we’re fucked

[plain elbow]

We need a target man, but someone with good movement and pace outside of the box as well.

[grave glen]

Martin?

[slender olive]

so yeah, guess we need to count on Bayern playing their b team

[grave glen]

He is more of a winger tho I think

[plain elbow]

Luis Suarez would be thriving right now, had Bartomeu not been a silly goose.

[grave glen]

He was desperate to cut on the salary

We have no messi free pass either now

But I see something building up in this team

Hope for the good

[plain elbow]

A target man has to be a priority in the summer. Along with a winger and possibly a center back.

Thing is, it’ll be very difficult due to obvious financial restraints.

[grave glen]

I think maybe 2 players gonna come in max

If some players leave

Still under the wage issue

Dani and collado still unregistered

[orchid crystal]

Paolo Guerrero is free

[plain elbow]

No

Love that guy though.

But no

[orchid crystal]

Arthur Cabral?

He’d be cheap

[plain elbow]

Better

He’s actually ripping it apart at Basel rn.

[slender olive]

talkfcb liked my insta comment

lol

[pale geode]

Barca should sell one of their youngsters and go get Florian Wirtz

[cold tide]

I’m hearing Depay sold the game

[cold tide]

Thank god Seferovic is a bum

No way Ter Standing got hit with a sombrero in a game of this magnitude…he’s not serious

[viral dew]

Seferovic for bum d'Or

[grave glen]

honestly

how did he miss that

[fiery geyser]

wagwan

[slate kayak]

that miss was yikes

[torn ermine]

almost guaranteed, we lose to bayern, and benfica is most likely to win against kiev

europa season 😶

[ripe field]

the only way we're gonna qualify is if bayern play their second team

and bayern isn't that type of a club

on to the europa we go 😤

time to win the trophy for the first time

[slate kayak]

need kiev to get a result right

if benfica beat kiev, barca can't go thru without beating bayern

[opal sigil]

Think we all know that

[viral dew]

You know what's worse?
Barca going in europa league and not winning it lol
But who knows bayern will probably play their b team

[half lion]

hopefully their C team

[viral dew]

I have a feeling that benfica will brick against kiev
Seferovic fucked their chance to qualify

[slate kayak]

possible

i mean dude missed an 80% chance

[half lion]

i hope Dynamo Kiev park the bus

[slate kayak]

depends if they start their a team

they have nothing to play for

maybe barca send them some motivation

[stiff fjord]

That's funny

[knotty yacht]

99%

[viral dew]

99%
Or he could have passed to darwin...

[grave glen]

@red jay is this 80%, 99% or sterling

[slate kayak]

yeah he had options

but messed it up

[cyan knot]

We need miracle

To win against bayern in munich

Are we even gonna score

I was always scared of bayern and i would always be more nervous to play against them than rm

[shadow juniper]

[lucid meadow]

dude has no chill

Bro i took my bible out on match benfica barca

[slate kayak]

why's that

[cyan knot]

Cuz im fucking mad when i watch barca play and when i dont watch them they are best in the wrold when i watch them they loose 3-0 to benfica

[slate kayak]

don't watch them then, problem solved?

[cyan knot]

Then how am i supposed to know score?

[shadow juniper]

google

after the match is over

[slate kayak]

any of a dozen apps

will tell you the score

[shadow juniper]

🤣

We need that miracle in munich

[grave glen]

If Bayern doesn’t play their B they’re just bullying us

[cyan knot]

Or else

[grave glen]

Yeah

I’m optimistic 🙏🏽

[cyan knot]

Im not

I know we are not gonna do well

If we beat bayern 5-0

I wil give everyone here 300$ in dogecoin

[grave glen]

[cyan knot]

Lolll

[grave glen]

Barca is a train right now and Xavi is our conductor

We’re slowly picking up speed and improving but it needs time

[shadow juniper]

A win at the Allianz Arena means Barça qualify regardless of what Benfica do. The 3-0 defeat to the Germans at Camp Nou does not bode well, but the Bundesliga side are already safely through and at least in theory, that should play to Barça favour...

[cyan knot]

Yeah ik yeah picking up speed our next station eurola league

[grave glen]

You don’t learn Xavi’s strategy in a few days it will take a while to perfect it

[shadow juniper]

official acc btw

they know they are gunna lose

[grave glen]

At least they’re honest 🤷‍♂️

If we just got rid of Koeman earlier

[cyan knot]

And what would happend even if we did

[slate kayak]

you do realise that germans have no concept of bullying

not going all out is considered bad manners and unsportsmanlike

[grave glen]

We wouldn’t have lost against Benfica the first time around

[grave glen]

Well fuck me

At least some of their players are out

[slate kayak]

back by barca

and likely to be angry

[grave glen]

Back & fit by Barca?

[slate kayak]

none of them are unfit

just quarantine

[tender verge]

I believe

[thin ivy]

Can't score a non penalty goal against espanyol

Doesn't score againsnt benfica

griezman is back as a CF

[thin ivy]

Grizi would probably bottle

Suarez and Carrasco though hmm

[inner gorge]

[thin ivy]

Atleti fans prolly hate him now though right

AFter moving back and forth from barca

[inner gorge]

tbh now its cool

they asked for him to cut his hair

and asked him to score good goals like back then

and proved his worth against liverpools game

now the fans are cool with him

[thin ivy]

[slate kayak]

i kinda wanna see lille or ajax vs barca in r16 if they qalify

[frank robin]

yh, prob

[thin ivy]

Idk how we got beaten by a Moldovian squad but not barca

[slate kayak]

sheriff is, unironically clear of barca

better criminals in charge

[frank robin]

ikr

and can beat real madrid

[slate kayak]

i mean their 2nd goal was a worldie

1 of the goals of the season

[frank robin]

[shadow juniper]

whoops

i didnt turn the ping off

[frank robin]

its fine

lol

[shadow juniper]

[grave glen]

Isn’t 4th place conference

Now

Or it’s still the same

[inner gorge]

[grave glen]

You guys did won super cup after winning europa right?

[tender solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/angel-correa-champion-happy-trophy-winning-gif-13801599

@grave glen

barca winning europa and super

[grave glen]

I don't remember how the trophy looks like tbh

Thats the supercup?

[inner gorge]

yes

[shadow juniper]

[grave glen]

I actually expecting kiev to step up against benfica

So who knows we'll go to europa or not

Please do

But I'm fine either way

If they draw we still go through right

Yea

[inner gorge]

kyiv scored against bayern

so kyiv winning

[grave glen]

Bruh

They're against weakened bayern

[frank robin]

i can see the logic behind that

[inner gorge]

but benfica scored 2 goals against bayern in allainz arena

[frank robin]

but, barca scored 2 against bayern last yr

remember

?

[inner gorge]

it was 5-2 for benfica

not 8-2

[grave glen]

We have no strikers

[inner gorge]

luuk

[grave glen]

No alaba

[grave glen]

Not suure xavi gonna rely on him or not

Ngl still weird to mention xavi as a manager rather than as a player

[inner gorge]

bruh

[grave glen]

I want to see barça pressing again

Looks good first half this game vs benfica

Except we lose focus time to time

[inner gorge]

barca pressed but no goals

they miss at the end

stop passing in the box

and shoot

[grave glen]

That's why koeman got fired

If they know how to score we are not in this state

We literally rely on just recovered fati

Ye

Make weird movement and passes

Gonna need to sell some player first ig

He's on loan

No cb other than umtiti

Pique n araujo always injured

Would like that

He still looks shaky during matches

Even youngsters are better

Nah

Random rumors

[chrome slate]

Benfica will win, no matter what

[shadow juniper]

not if seferovic plays

[chrome slate]

[dire quiver]

has benzema ------> prison fc confirmed?

[grave glen]

They should if they want to continue in ucl

[shadow juniper]

we have to clench at the end

but thats okay

[thin ivy]

tf is this lol

[native sandal]

1 year but suspended because he has money to pay

[tender verge]

I believe in the munich miracle

[native sandal]

the only possible munich miracle is that Barca lose to bayern and benfica draw to dynamo, barca goes through

[tender verge]

i believe

[native sandal]

it happened in the first game, 0-0

can happen once more imo

[grave glen]

or we win

not impossible

hard? yes. impossible? no

done my ted talk

[karmic jungle]

Real Madrid POSSIBLE LINEUP
Courtois
Mendy / Alaba / Militão / Carvajal
Kroos / Casemiro / Modric
Vini Jr / Benzema / Vázquez

[thin ivy]

Nah its gonna be another 8-2 win for Bayern then Xavi gets sacked

[thin ivy]

Bro y u starting vasquez on LW

[karmic jungle]

RW

LW is Vini

[thin ivy]

Well the way you wrote it, vasquez is on LW

Either way idk if LV should start in the front three

[karmic jungle]

GK
LB / CB / CB / RB
CM / CM / CM
LW / ST / RW

always this

[thin ivy]

i swear to god its usually flipped? nvm

I hope we dont lose again to this Moldovian club

thats gonna sting lmao

[chrome slate]

[karmic jungle]

Atlético Madrid POSSIBLE LINEUP
Oblak
Hermoso / Savic (1) / Giménez
Carrasco / Koke / Llorente / Vrsaljko
Griezmann / Lemar
Suárez

(1) -> possibility to make his 1st game in UCL this season

[inner gorge]

SAVIC

WE MISSED U

[inner gorge]

seriously atletico changed

theyre offensive

the reason they won the laliga title

people think we still park

[devout geyser]

um

[inner gorge]

they do but u cant deny the fact he changed his tactics

[inner gorge]

whats ur opinion wise seal

we missed u

[chrome slate]

Changed from a defensive tactic to another defensive tactic

[inner gorge]

he plays defensive against offensive teams but defensive teams he changes it to offensive

for example from 532 to 352

[chrome slate]

[plain elbow]

He changed his tactics, but the defensive principles are still the same.

They’re a bit more direct now with the help of the wingbacks, but still remain consolidated with a back three and two strong center midfielders.

[thin ivy]

Hope Milan wins

Would help boost RMA morale and well its Milan's first shot at UCL in years

[crisp phoenix]

pls milan win

[knotty yacht]

RODRYGO IS STARTING YESSSSSS

[broken cobalt]

AC Milan will not really push for the win, getting knocked from ucl and eul will give them much more breath to win Serie A

[south night]

@chrome slate hell yeah mate tonight we will both qualify

Our shaktar game is almost done and we are leading 2-0

[chrome slate]

[south night]

Real just need that win over sheriff and then it will be official that real and Inter are qualified

[grave glen]

Hats off to Sheriff for a really solid UCL performance though

[stiff fjord]

@slender reef did you do what if list?

[slender reef]

La Liga champions league scenarios:

Atlético Madrid: They will avoid elimination as long as they do not lose or Porto do not beat Liverpool.

Real Madrid: Through if they win. They finish top if they do so and Internazionale do not beat Shakhtar Donetsk.

Villarreal: Through if they draw.

Barcelona: Through if they win or Benfica do not.

Sevilla: Must win
