Napoli wiping the floor with Frankfurt.

We've stopped valuing Europe as a club. The management don't think it is important to beat the best anymore and will be satisfied if we win LaLiga most of the time regardless of how we do in Europe. Xavi saying the fact we managed to 'compete' in CL groups and EL 32 was impressive put the...

Napoli one of the best teams in the world this season playing with many guys who were virtual unknowns until recently. Lesson for our fans who think that this squad isn't good enough to go past CL groups and EL32.

Madrid is poor. This Liverpool team suck and miles off City and Arsenal, they really shouldn't even be giving Madrid a game.

Liverpool don't look much worse than Madrid. Madrid suck. Only difference between them is Madrid have game changers in attack that make something out of nothing. If Liverpool were not idiots in the first leg probably would've gone through today.

Liverpool had the tie when they were up 2-0, if they had just sat back from there and protected their lead they would have a very high chance to go through today. Klopp kept them pressing and running like dogs though and here we are.

Real suck. They are not 9 points behind in a weak LaLiga for no reason. Their advantage is the European teams still haven't figured out that they are easily beatable if you don't give them space on transitions/counters. Unfortunately, Liverpool is a team totally geared on pressing and end to...

Funny how Ederson commits a possible red card foul and somehow Werner ends up with the yellow card. Does VAR not enter to review that action? What are they even doing up there if not reversing idiocy like that?

Changes the course of games for what basically is a lottery. Will you be lucky enough to graze someone's hand with your cross? Bingo, you've got a penalty and therefore a free goal!! Should have to earn goals not get them through cheap pens like that.

2018 was when he lost his position as VP of refs committee. Negreira even states himself after we cut the payments that we 'did not fulfill the contract' meaning we ended it early for some reason (he lost his position...). Its obvious for me why we were paying him. I don't think it worked and...

Something Porque said the other day is extremely relevant and a good observation - There is no way, through so many different presidents and through so many financial audits, that this service would have lasted all the way to 2018 (when he lost his position) if it wasn't deemed important.

Mostly agree with something like this. Unless he had a network of corrupt refs, which is not proven at all, he didn't have a significant amount of influence to the point where he could affect games in favour of us. He would decide who is demoted and promoted, so I guess he had the power to get...

Mate, 'We paid them to be fair!' is not a legal defense. If the payments were related to refereeing decisions in any way it is a bribe. Courts don't care about if Barca paid to 'even the score '. The only defense we have is convincing that the payments were only to do with technical advice...

He's just shattered mentally and has a weak mindset. One of those players who needs to be given a lot of time to work things out and to be coddled but you just can't get that at a club where every game matters. What summed it up for me is a sequence last game where he was 1v1 with the last man...

I really hope that's fiction because that would therefore imply we paid to influence refereeing decisions. Bribing to counteract (presumably) other perceived bribes makes Barca guilty.

He loves what he's watching. Its obvious because we are using the exact same approach practically every game, same players, same formation, same subs - if he thought there was a problem why keep doing the exact same thing every game? He is being a little manipulative with his media image. Who...

Handball rules updated in 2021 : 'If a player accidentally touches the ball with their arm or hand, and it is then played by another player before ending in a goal, the goal is legal'. 'If a player accidentally touches the ball with their arm or hand and immediately scores, it is not legal'.

No, it's a choice, and quite obviously one at that. We score every game yet are regularly not finding a 2nd. If our offense was that bad we would be getting shut out sometimes but we always find the first goal, literally always. Then it is obvious to see that we start shelling up a bit, and...

I guess here's the thing : Xavi has hacked LaLiga, at least this season. He's cracked the code. The attackers in LL are poor and on top of that much slower than our very athletic backline, on top of it. Xavi, I think, understands that defending a lead in LL is probably better than going for a...

Will end up being MVP of the season, I'm sure. It's hard to get past our defense anyway, then you have to get past MATS..
