... who hasn't won a single CL after Barça while coaching very competitive and strong sides. Don't want to say City doesn't play attractive, but Pep's style is obviously more suited to win a league title than winning a CL. Valverde, the same. Zidane, the opposite.

Dembélé would be on another level today if one out of Pep or Klopp was his coach in the last 2 years.

Neymar's second season was first MSN season and Barça played incredible back then. For me, this was GOAT-Neymar in terms of being a winger for Barça. Individually he may had better seasons after that, but became more of a showbunny too and did unnecessary stuff. 2nd season Neymar was like a more...

They didn't travel to Vigo. Rakitic is suspended too.

Start the game at Anfield as if the tie was still 0-0. This is Barça, not Bilbao. I want to see the desire to win there too.

This definitely hurts his development. He was quite unplayable before his injury but lost his flair since returning. It takes too much time for him to get back in form after injuries.

This. Just have to look at his star-attitude in the French national team. He acts lazy and walks around like Messi does. Barça needs a hungry player like Suárez was when he joined. Not saying Griezmann isn't class but it was always 'last summer or never' and he chose never.

Agreed. I'd guess Suárez will get rest this time.

Players coming from Liga NOS are always a "dangerous" investment. Easy to shine there compared to top5 leagues.

He roasted him but you can't compare it though. Our whole defensive approach was very different compared to the first game. Valverde learned from the first game and Roberto had much more support from Rakitic than Semedo had the other day, who often had to face 2 opponents which you can't really...

A player who shits himself in the final third doesn't play that pass to Suárez. Hard not to pass it backwards when there is no one to combine with. Wait for Dembélé playing on the right wing again and watch Semedo thriving in the final third.

Was the only midfielder in first half not shitting his pants from that overloaded United midfield. Always in movement, always available to receive a ball. However, he isn't the same he was before his injury.

Was thinking the same. So much quality on the bench.

Semedo also "won" some penalties. I can remember 2.

These international breaks are annoying. Team was about to hit form.

With Valverde in charge of tactics it's better to start the 2nd leg with zero advantage. Otherwise that bastard comes to the idea to defend the lead.

He is much more efficient and plays like a beast with a winger in front of him which is not the case. Don't get why we need a left winger in Cou with Alba running up and down the flank. Would be better to play with a RW and Semedo. The left side is working with or without Cou while the right...
