Lukaku warming up.

The way Benzema helps the midfield is amazing. He's everywhere at once.

Bayern have had 0 shots on target. What is it about Villareal?!?!?! They are so good in Europe.

Lol the second I posted it he scored :lol: Unironically Lukaku could be a better fit here tho. RM look shaky on crosses.

I think it's obvious how game changing Benzema and Mendy are for Real. Benzema on this form is the best striker in the world.

Really weak from Havertz in the box. Went down on the slightest contact.

Tbh that game wasn't that impressive. Can't say I know much about him but he looked a bit pedestrian and slow there. Set piece taking looks to be good, he hits the ball nicely. Let's see what he shows at Barca B.

Not really, he's scored a few goals off the bench hasn't he? As a poster said above he just doesn't fit a CF in 433 and is nothing like the winger that Xavi wants (fast, plays to the touchline, creates, presses/makes forward runs etc). Dembele and Ferran can fulfill these instructions way...

Benzema can play the 10/support Haaland and Mbappe can play on the wing so it isn't impossible to fit them into one 11, but doubt Benzema will be happy with taking a supporting role again especially after such a great season he's having. Madrid isn't realistic, maybe they'll sell Benzema?

Valverde recorded a top speed of 37.4km/h in CL this year. For reference Araujo recorded 33.7km/h and Dembele recorded 34km/h in CL (although he was just back from injury at the time). Guy is seriously fast and athletic. Easily one of the fastest players in Spain (on those numbers, faster than...

If we are looking for a DM.. Not a Busquets replacement at all, and I'll probably get slaughtered for this but : Since Chelsea are in financial trouble rn (his favoured destination), if Declan Rice was available, it would be an interesting avenue to explore. Xavi with the signing of Kessie...

0 shots all game for Atletico. Absolute terrorism.

Atleti have won their last six league games. Whilst Man City drew with Southampton and Crystal Palace recently.

Gavi has reduced minutes because the team has been better with Pedri/FDJ in. That's ok, those are two amazing midfielders. But he's not vital at the moment.

He created 2 other great chances which should have also been goals. He isn't coming into assists for no reason, he's a top creator. Is what it is.

That's true, it's not all about the final ball and sometimes assists can just be simple passes that don't deserve a lot of credit (see Dembele's assist yesterday). But we are scoring a lot of goals recently and I feel like he can still be involved in goals more, giving the final ball, maybe...

Something which surprised me : In 1.3k minutes this season, he only has 1 assist. Another thing which surprised me : Gavi has 5 LaLiga assists this season. However he did play winger a lot of games so this is probably skewed by that. Pedri didn't really get the opportunity to gain rhythm...

Easy to say 'greedy' to Araujo, Dembele or Gavi but remember, those aren't just numbers. If another team is offering double what we offer, that is a massive amount of money that will make a big difference to their lives. We need to make our offer competitive before we play the 'happiness' card.

One of Dembele/Araujo/Gavi is surely leaving. Those are three young, very talented players who have had great seasons so far. Will cost a LOT to renew and if we're renewing all three of them we won't be very active in the market for sure. Club may think selling Araujo for c50m is attractive...

That isn't what will happen. He will also ride the bench or play poorly at any other good club, at which point you will again blame their coach for conspiring against Puig before he eventually ends up in a 2nd division.
