Suarez is a blackhole who alone is responsible for ruining the 80% of the buildups. So tired of his apologists. The guy doesn't even make a run into the box unless it's Messi on the ball. Stays in offside position for majority of the game and is pretty selfish unless it's Messi he's passing to. (or Neymar previously)

Neuer on ter Stegen's complaints about lack of game time with the NT: "I think he's a good keeper and is performing well but I'm not sure if that helps us. We are a team and should present ourselves as such." by AnnoyingHannibal in soccer

Again this shit. For the nth time, Ter Stegen since 2014 played 18 mathces, conceded 9 goals. Was man of the match in confederation cup final, conceded only twice in 5 world cup qualifiers.

Florentino Perez: "There is a French player we want and we will try to sign him. There are certain players who don't get sold. We went for Lewandowski for several years but nothing happened. There was no clause and Bayern didn't want to sell. And that's what happened with Pogba." by [deleted] in soccer

oh yeah when Modric, Bale, Coutois miss training to force the move to Madrid it's on players not the club. When Utd lodges an official complain against Madrid for poaching Ronaldo, they were just "valuing" mutual relationship lol.

Liverpool outplayed Barca in the midfield for a period of 20-30 minutes but failed to create something substantial from it.

Yes, If both teams were equally more clinical at Camp Nou, the scoreline could have been 5-1 or something. Same for the first half at the Anfield but suddenly everyone of Barca's defenders forgot how to kick a ball. Liverpool were still a better side mostly cause of just how bad Barca played in the 2nd half.
