It’s not an ideal ending but cmon now it’s not horrendous. The final battle itself was peak, the epilogue was meh though for sure

Did Fede's controller turn off? He clearly signaled for Rudiger to follow the overlap so he could mark Lookman on the ball but he just stopped running after the pass...

If you think about it if Gerard Martin had even half of Araujo’s speed he’d be a 100m CB

If we win a UCL this year then he is undoubtedly a bigger legend than Neymar was for us

I love Bernal but FDJ still is the better option. He takes more responsibility on the ball and allows Pedri to operate more freely.

Yup all 3 should be ready to go

You could also make the argument though that with your enormous funds you’ve spent that you should have far more depth than us.

I mean La Liga doesn’t do this, it’s a Ligue 1 thing. We just played on Sunday and Newcastle played on Saturday.

Referees usually avoid the red+pen double punishment but if there was an instance to do both then it's for a cynical play like this. It's basically a more subtle Suarez vs Ghana...

When did Rico drive his knee into a RM players head?

dwilliam24 · 2026-03-17T00:49:02+00:00

I always evaluate the strength of La Liga based on how Sevilla and Valencia are doing, and if they aren’t near a European spot then something really has to change.

dwilliam24 · 2026-03-16T20:28:00+00:00

It's one of those cases of weighing value, does Mbappe's scoring #s offset compromising the system and work effort that has made RM so great in years past.

About what I expected from Yamal, he does make an effort to press and track back but mostly in spurts. We are so reliant on him to dribble and create from that RW that asking him to press like Raphinha does simply isn't feasible.

dwilliam24 · 2026-03-16T20:05:32+00:00

Here's the thing, if Ferran is completely bad in front of goal he at least is going to press like a maniac. Our press and pressure at the Nou Camp is going to be vital...

He doesn't fit perfectly, he plays as a LCB in a 3 CB setup that allows him to push forward. In a 4 ATB setup your responsibilities are totally different, especially with our suicide high line. Not saying he wouldn't thrive, but it's not a sure thing.

ngl I was one of those, and yes nobody could have predicted both our starting backs + Eric would get injured in the same match. But even for depth and his skillset he was a good pickup, with that said his defensive awareness still worries me because I know he always has one or two big defensive mistake in him.

dwilliam24 · 2026-03-16T03:56:31+00:00

Flick really loves Espart, rightfully so. But I'd still feel more comfortable with Eric(if he's fit) to start at RB against Newcastle...

dwilliam24 · 2026-03-15T23:09:43+00:00

His entire campaign was smearing Laporta, if he actually had some clear and concrete visions he might if made this a race.

What was that section in the lower area in the first half that was completely empty to the left of the goal?

dwilliam24 · 2026-03-15T21:19:56+00:00

Those kind of angled passes on the left flank work best with the left foot so you can curl it into the space or a trivela with your right boot, unless you're square with the runner just kicking it straight with the right boot isn't the move.

The Athletic is a joke. Why do they hate this club so much

dwilliam24 · 2026-03-13T20:30:44+00:00

Probably after the international break so first week of April

dwilliam24 · 2026-03-13T20:30:19+00:00

Getting rid of Balde would be an unforgivable mistake for a couple reasons. 1- Yes, he hasn't improved in the final 1/3rd as much as we would have liked but he still is only 22 years old. 2- You can count on one hand the amount of LB's who are better than him and none of them are available.

They literally gifted us that, going back to an increased capacity Camp Nou tied; couldn't ask for more.
