Great against who? The bottom table teams of La Liga?

He personifies the number 9. No other player that suits that number more in world football.

Should have hired an interim if a qualified choice was not available. Going with a manager who has never managed before other than Al Sadd, it was quite predictable what would happen.

If the Catalan media actually have any courage and not just spreading tabloid gossip and lies like they always do, one of the journos needs to press Xavi on Busquets and why he thinks terrible performances are acceptable game after game in Europe from him.

He doesn't offer anything on the ball either, except one touch passing side ways and backwards. Gets killed by attackers in Europe every year as he leaves gaping hole in midfield. Why is he an undisputed starter? Why?

And where were Brozovic and Lukaku? Enough man. Inter are shite, even their best teams were usually shite in CL and this season they are 9th and conceding bags of goals to mid table teams. Missing 2 of their star players. And they have just gone toe to toe and arguably out played us at home...

It is sad that Busquets will probably retire without ever having been benched at Barca, at this old age. Been absolutely abused in Europe year after year but no manager has ever had the balls to get rid. And they all paid for it.

Bad mistake but deserves credit for great ball playing which kept us in the game.

Honestly poor arbitration is starting to become a strong argument for a breakaway from UEFA.

Leaving Balde out... why?

As long as he keeps performing in high stakes games against big teams nobody will care if he misses chances against Shaktar. That's the difference.

Questionable if that is even a penalty. The red card with it makes absolutely no sense.

What is going on with the refereeing in the sport recently? Refs are deciding games more than the players on the pitch.

PSG struggled past this Juve btw

I don't watch a lot of Madrid other than UCL but statistically, you guys are doing very well and it shouldn't be long before it begins to show.

We have allowed 6.3 xG so far in this LaLiga campaign, and conceded 1 goal. Riding off dumb luck and a keeper in the form of his life. That doesn't last and Europe is giving us a glimpse of what happens when it runs out.

Lost ball in key areas several times, but luckily we were facing a weak opponent that cannot take their chances.

The problem isn't that he doesn't score in a few games, that happens sometimes, but when he doesn't he has literally zero contribution to the game. He doesn't give anything without good service it seems so far.

For someone with so many headed goals, he doesn't seem very good in the air so far. A good aerial presence turns some of these crosses into chances, but he loses out a lot to the CBs.

The main difference between LaLiga and Europe is in Europe the players are actual professionals and don't forgive when you give them free chances and half chances. That is why we keep getting utterly exposed in Europe.
