Wanted to say the same. It's not something new that you need a competitive team to have a chance in CL. Messi still has all the skills to be the deciding factor in a game, which he showed with the many opportunities he created against PSG, and the absolute stunner he scored out of nowhere. He...

Absolute truth bombs. Love the amount of nuance and perspectives you are bringing to these topics. You'd make Socrates proud with the amazing amount of knowledge you posses about different players, coaches and football in general.

Rewatched our 2-0 win in the semi final against RM in 2011. This guy was easily the most influential player on the pitch, just oozed pure class and pulled perfect passes all the time. Miss him.

Griezmann has the second highest salary and i doubt he brings anywhere near enough to cover it. Plus he's been underwhelming on the pitch week in andn week out for more than a year now. He should've never been bought or atleast sold this summer.

Hope he gets to start soon, especially considering our tight program.

Can?t believe we pay this guy 45 mil a year. That's more than Frenkie, Trincao, Fati, Mats and Pjanic combined. Ivaluable player to our team. No way we could make better use of those 45 mil annually.

Also have to agree with Serghei, what does it matter if Puig does well or not for a team like Betis? I care more about how valuable a player he can become for our team.

Why should Puig be compared with other for academy players that ultimately didn't perform when given chances? Puig played a handful of games towards the end of the season where he impressed more than any of Samper, Halilovic or Ale?a have in the first team. He even did so against one of Europe's...

Now suddenly Messi isn't as good a dribbler as depay aswell? Jeez

Because, as he said in his interview, the new coach and the changes is what made him decide to run. He's been perfectly happy with the board, his amigos, the sporting project and competitiveness of the team the last many years. He probably didn't even mind the board's attempt to blame him in the...

Well it's pretty likely that he has been thinking about it for a long time since it's a pretty big decision to make. It's not like you suddenly decide overnight after a loss to move your family, pull your kids out of their school, and leave aclub you've played for since you were a kid. It was...

Because he has to:bartomeu::griezmann:

Just can't satisfy people, he isn't perfect

As you say, a pure guess. Messi says otherwise in the interview, which seems very genuine and honest. Watch it if you can understand Spanish.

Just watched the whole interview. Messi is far from perfect, and has many flaws, but he still is the greatest player in the history of the club, and has given 20 years of his life to this club. Hurts to see the board treat him like this It seems people are unsatisfied with him no mattter what...

Anybody know where I can watch the full video?

Tbf it's not only Messi who has hugely underperformed in CL away games. The whole team has, often with Messi being our only dangerous player, and the rest of the team struggling to get the ball to the final third. Liverpool last year is a good example of this. Messi produced more than 3 really...

Personally, I hope Ten Hag or Xavi will take over in 2021 along with a new board. This will hopefully lead to a clearing out of the squad (Suarez, Raki, Vidal, Busi, Alba, Pique etc.) and a new more visionary sporting project. However if Setien gets the sack now, I've always thought it would be...

Agree with both. Had almost forgotten how arrogant a club Bayern is.

Also, I think Puig deserves to get a chance this match. He's imo our best midfielder going forward, and he's shown great attitude and composure lately, which should be rewarded. Handled Atletico who's arguably one of the most physical and best defensive side in Europe really well, and honestly...
