Damn... so we will get to see Xavi with a billion pound squad. @serghei about to take a Giant W.

He has. The team is plenty intense and thats about one of the only things Xavi has shown he excels at... conditioning and keeping the physical levels high. Our intensity is great, it's not about how much we are running, it's about how and why we run.

Hopefully the talk of Puig can bring JamDav back. Idk about you guys but I miss his football takes here.

His mind is already made up. He's going to stay if we do well. He doesn't actually want to leave. He said that to try and put a positive spin on a managerial tenure that hasn't gone like he expected it to thus far. This is what he wanted... he wanted to be begged to stay and for people to kiss...

He was probably doing the corruption one he did against Inter.

It is exciting to see us against a top opponent whilst we are in good form. This will be a pivotal moment for Xavi's tenure, I am sure. A win changes everything.

I think Gundogan is the best player this year and probably in argument for best midfielder in the world

I dont really know what to make of it, but we are playing much better without Frenkie and Pedri. The return of MATS is of course a major factor but then our attacking play is also more direct and better.

We have done many things well also, of course.

Well, it's good to have both of them, increases the odds we might have a long term fullback in one of them at least. Though both look very good. Fort seems more mature and tactical whilst Balde has special athleticism.

Those are the type of players English clubs pay 50m a pop for. Grass is not always greener.

Imagine instead of buying Roque we bought a DM...

They haven't really been bad in general, just very indecisive whilst we were clinical in the final third.

Xavi outdid Simeone today. As funny as it sounds, Simeone seems like he is a bit scared of Xavi, guy changed the tactics like 4 times mid match.

As well as tactics been good today you should acknowledge the players you trash every day are not actually bad.

The kids are better than the big money signings. Kids playing instead of the vets and they keep doing better. Still true after many years.

Only thing Fermin seems to do in recent games is hype up teammates. Fantastic from MATS but not unusual. He is one of the best GKs itw.

I don't think being on the touchline makes much difference, he will just tell Oscar what he wants him to do. Seems like if the ref wanted to fix the game or something he could have just sent off Kounde like he deserved? It just doesnt make sense whenever ref conspiracies are brought up. Refs...

I dont. Kounde could have been sent off. All this moaning about refs is so tiring.

No, it's just common practise, watch Xavi on the touchlines for a few minutes in any given game, you will see he abuses the refs over every single decision made and moans to the fourth official every single time. They just have enough of hearing him screaming after every foul given and get fed...
