Looking at him in that short sleeve shirt... does he even lift? That's a shockingly slim physique for a central defender. No wonder he gets bullied around.

Of course it was soft. Lenglet should've known better though. Like you said, Spanish refs are a special breed. Any regular supporter knows that. That was that type of stupid mistake you make when you think the weekend has already started because the game is already won. Any unnecessary corner...

I'd really like to blame Lenglet on this, but a team that doesn't score from open play against fucking Cadiz doesn't really deserve to win. Cadiz got 15 scored against them in their last 4 La Liga-games.

Mingueza should start every game ahead of him until Araujo is back. I have seen more than enough of this careless fucker.

I don't think that there was ever a Barcelona player I disliked more than him.

Koeman furious with Dembouz' finishing lol

I criticized him for the same, but I get what he was trying to do. I mean, having a look at the options in defense, him playing a high line against a PSG being expected to be very good at counter-attacking could have resulted in a much bigger debacle, on paper. If he plays "Hollywood" and loses...

Typical barcaforum exaggerating after a big loss. Pique was the one screaming, organising, leading the distribution with a 100% passing accuracy and four accurate long balls, and all of that fresh from an incredibly serious injury. He couldn’t turn the tides in the end but it wasn’t for the...

Their football wasn't beautiful to watch, but very successful. Also had the luck that many players of them were in top form at the World Cup. They had a very talented pool of players back then though.

18 goals in his first 13 UCL games. No one else did this before him.

Atletico is dropping some points lately. Cadiz is a must win. I doubt Barca can keep up the winning streak (expect them to drop points next Saturday in Sevilla), but they'll need to do everything to pressure Atletico, Madrid and Sevilla. 4th place must be avoided.

We can talk about CBs, Busquets, defense all we want. We all know the issues of them. What really hurts are those amateurish tactical mistakes from Dembele and Griezmann right before the 1-1 and 1-2. How can you overlook your fullback in a CL game? Fuck, it wasn't even a counter and them being...

Busquets is not the only problem. "New signing" Pjanic is an even bigger issue. Tells you everything about him when Koeman literally doesn't give him a real chance. Barto gifted Juve a valuable player on low wages and signed finished Pjanic instead. Neither Busquets nor Pjanic are good enough if...

Already heating up the future-rivalry :p :lol: The 20-year-old striker told Norwegian broadcaster Viaplay: 'It was good to score goals. 'I love the Champions League and when I saw Mbappe score the hat-trick yesterday I got free motivation, so thanks to him. 'He scored some nice goals and I...

Laporta will try to get him in summer 2022. With that being the World Cup Year in Qatar, Leo will leave that summer the latest. I doubt anyone can afford Haaland this summer. Also, his rumoured buyout in 2022 is pretty low if he continues to rise like that. This will result in a bidding war...

True. Stability and a clear plan is very important. I hope the new president comes up with it. How many sporting directors did Barto bury? Txiki was from 2003 to 2010, Zubi from 2010 to 2015. That was stability. Then Barto's shitshow began. Bordas, Robert, Segura, Abidal, Planes. That...

He definitely deserves to start a few games. Whether on the right wing instead of Dembele, dropping Griezmann or something else. Just a brainfuck idea: FDJ as DM instead of Busquets and Trincao replacing Frenkie as box to box.

Not only that. Kuipers was good. Much better than La Liga referees. That handball-rule got already adjusted because the rule was pointless.

I'm a bit disappointed in him. Not so much with the result, but with the tactics. It looked like some half-arsed sitting back to avoid them countering. Barca was never and never will be a team that can sit back and come away with it. Players are not used to it. He already tried it against Madrid...

Both clubs being in the final last year is as close as it gets to factoring in opponent strength and quality.
