One off game and Bayern were in atrocious form that season anyway at times.. when they beat Barca in amongst struggling to beat others.
These excuses are never ending.
It was a humiliation. One of many games tactically done by opponents in Europe and contributed to club losing huge amount of...
Indeed.. Rangers gave them a tougher time than Barca.
I think Barca failed to beat Napoli and Galatasary at home in EL that season also. So were poor at home anyway without the away crowd.
'They had too many fans' is one of the most feeble excuses of the time.
If Flick starts moaning in press about how much better Real are then yes he would be as bad as Xavi.
If Flick fails and things that he could do better are ignored and excuses made for then yes.. would be the same.
Is it not factual that Real could have a stronger campaign this time than when Barca won that title?
Of course it is.
So that matters also.
More problematic if Flick does well for all those that claimed Xavi was doing so well and those that pointed out flaws were wrong.
Flick can achieve...
Aye it did.. by the Xavi fan boys.
EV was better than Xavi.. its the way it goes when all about trophies.
Barca gone from 'years away being able to compete' with Real to expecting to win league when switch from Xavi to Flick.
Not unexpected.
Pep lifted the trophy and Inter lost.
If the best thing have to say about Inter is a game they lost it says it all.
Indeed 'play who play'... that is the point.
But aye 'Barca were unlucky' when can only beat Plzn all season in Europe.
To make out that 'no one at Barca or any true fans' care...
Inter were nothing great and didnt even look great v Barca.. they beat Porto, Benfica and AC to get to the final.
Barca would be favs against those three and were favs v Inter.
'Unlucky' in a season when only beat Plzn and cannot get one victory in 6 v Inter, Bayern and Man Utd...
The...
Yes which shows how Barca should have been competing better and the type of run teams can go on if opens up.
The only team Barca beat in Europe that season was Plzen.
Fati was not ran into the ground.
Pedri had not played more first team football at that age compared to other notable names.. Haaland, Mbappe, Belingham etc dont think.
Real have had more snapped ACLs the past year or so than Barca.
