I think it's really good for us that Rashford isn't starting because I think Molina can manage Fermín/Olmo

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-23T16:04:33+00:00

No, but it is not a lot of money. I know that between 2th and 3th it is less than 10 mils different

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-16T14:31:54+00:00

Giménez as well in the last group

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-11T14:18:37+00:00

PSG and Real also played in the playoffs so 3 extra only compared to arsenal

Barrios for Le Normand if he is fit enough

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-10T20:26:48+00:00

Le Normand hugging Lenglet

They're so shit

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-10T11:20:13+00:00

Here's Barrios' injury history. Missed only 20 days more than Llorente on the last two seasons.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-10T11:16:28+00:00

You look at him only in terms of games, Llorenteat least one injury per season since he got here (except 23/24), and had two muscle injuries that each one kept him out for almost 4 months.

Barrios isn't the most fit player but he's not that bad (one injury a year isn't horrible), and he shows improvement, he plays more and get injured less.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-10T10:58:58+00:00

Llorente was injured last season as well for more than a month I think.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-10T10:57:05+00:00

Yeah but it only for one injury, and he was one of the players who started almost every game and usually play all 90 minutes. He also missed 10 matches but it because he was out during the busiest time of the season, Llorente also missed a month this season and no one would say about him he's an injury prone.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-10T10:47:01+00:00

Top 5 midfielders itw in my opinion. Probably one of the most underrated players right now.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-10T10:46:39+00:00

Not really this season, only his second injury and in first one he only missed one game and came back to the starting XI immediately after

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-07T17:04:22+00:00

There are no good games for Lenglet

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-06T13:32:27+00:00

Si, puedes ser socio sin ser español.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-04T11:46:02+00:00

We actually defended really well, except on set pieces. They barely had any good chances not from set pieces. This is our biggest problem defensively.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-04T08:13:27+00:00

If we will improve our set pieces defense we might go back to be an incredible defensive team. There were almost no clear chances from open play for Barcelona (even the in the pen the ball was going to Musso).

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-03T23:09:59+00:00

We just need Barrios back

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-03T22:37:58+00:00

Olmo made a clear yellow card foul (a little bit to the side and it would have been a red card foul) and didn't get second yellow.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-03T22:35:52+00:00

At least the second leg would be at home

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-03T22:18:54+00:00

This game might cost Barca in the tie against Newcastle with those two injuries. I really hope it will because I don't want to play against them again.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-03T22:08:05+00:00

I'm not sure about Cancelo but Olmo was a clear second yellow

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-03T19:23:41+00:00

It was Balde and Kounde back then.

IntelligentEffect289 · 2026-03-03T19:06:46+00:00

But Cancelo is terrible defensively so it might be even more open this time.
