The level of finishing Arsenal have is absolutely astounding. These guys literally don't miss any chances.

We also came 3rd with Messi in the team, so it's not like him leaving is the main problem. It is a structural issue and complete lack of modernisation on part of the club. We are hanging onto the past and still trying to recreate it with budget Barca 'DNA' managers like Xavi.

No Kounde and Pedri? Mats also easily better than Mendy/Kepa.

Chelsea's squad is very poor compared to the level they should be at. Barca squad is easily better and not even close, I think if you compared the squads yourselves you would agree but you haven't looked yet.

We are not leaders either. If the league was to end for any reason today it would be given to Madrid as the tiebreaker is H2H.

Hustle merchant. Adds a lot of intensity and tempo to the team but other than that contributes very little most of the time.

He was actually alright. Not sure why the hate in this thread for his game today. In a very uninspiring performance he was trying to progress the ball, carry it forward.

You can't always scrape results out every game. We've been lucky enough to win against Mallorca, Celta, Valencia etc where we arguably should have dropped points in every one of those. When you try and coast and scrape results out luck will come back to bite you and cause you to drop points...

Penzema is back again!

Still enough considering where they started and competing with far better-funded clubs. Those several hundred millions more invested by City made the difference, considering Pool lost the league by 1 point twice during this golden generation. Fine margins.

He's getting old now. Despite what Messi and Modric are leading people to think, most top players don't stay at the top level into their 30s.

You shouldn't be able to unsuspend a player who got sent off in the previous game. Would be a scandal if that happened to a Madrid player. Imagine we played Madrid and they managed to unsuspend Benzema after he got sent off the previous game. Not sure how we have even managed to do that.

Haaland is about to obliterate all Prem scoring records hardly scoring any penalties. Mbappe chose to stay full-time as a farmer. Haaland is that guy.

According to Xavi in the last month or so - LaLiga is the best league in the world - Spain is the best national team in the world - Busquets is the best DM in the world - Pedri and Gavi are better than him and Iniesta were I wonder if somehow his brain is still frozen in time in 2010 and we...

MD - After a long conversation with Xavi, and the news Messi will not go to Inter Miami, Busquets has changed his mind and is now seriously considering a renewal. A key factor was Xavi's insistence on keeping him and how important he believes him to be, and Busquets still sees himself as capable...

Another genius take from you. One chance missed over 180 minutes matters more than the team losing 4-0 at Camp Nou.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's not about if we would have lost from 4-0, it's the fact that the whole team managing to throw a 3-0 away lead was far more significant to the outcome of the tie than one missed chance. Let me put it like this. The chance of progressing after winning the first tie 3-0 away should logically...

Pace isn't a be all end all. Sure it is very helpful but there are other ways to pass defenders and the important thing is knowing how to keep them behind you once you do. Football brains is just as important as pace. Plenty of wingers have succeeded with average pace and also, he can play as...

Shows that a complete lack of thought went into his signing if the club is already thinking about moving him on after less than 6 months. Most of what we have seen from Raphinha is things Xavi should already have known if he had seen him play previously - he isn't a touchline, 1v1 winger and has...
