Are you serious?

Everyone is a student of Cruyff these days. So was Valverde, Cruyff himself praised him: Valverde's Athletic Bilbao was also a pressing machine and not a defensive team, they wrecked us: -eY5G1m2ka8 And Lucho also did great things with Celta, played attractive football, beat Real Madrid...

Not better than peak Dortmund with pre-injury Gündogan, pre-fraudulent Götze, pre-injury Reus, Lewandowski, Hummels, Subotic etc. Liverpool have a budget version of MSN upfront and a midfield and defense that no one would be surprised about if Real scored 6 past them. Klopp has Pep's number...

Yeah, shame him and Busquets are still our best midfielders. Coutinho is not a central midfielder and if we play Coutinho alongside Busquets with 3 forwards we'll continue to get dicked by any sort of physicality in the CL.

Sarri will not be appointed by Barca. The man has a history of calling other coaches and journalists "faggots" and when he doesn't like refereeing decisions he says the "sport is for homosexuals these days". If Sarri saw Messi's workrate he'd call him a faggot as well. He is also an active...

984687142508019712 Needs to step up, no matter what.

They get dominated like this quite often but at some point Ronaldo scores a goal and that's it.

It is very strange for a professional coach to play 2 up top with no pace out wide against a 3 men backline and not chance anything through 90 minutes. 4-4-2 was countered by 3 men defensive setup which was countered by 4-2-3-1, that's basic football history knowledge. 3 defenders vs. 2 up top...

Before the pass comes the move, as Xavi once said. If Messi played for Madrid instead of Ronaldo they'd lose and people would blame rubbish Benzema scoring 5 goals all year and turtle Kroos making only sideway passes. If you actually watch Madrid they create "easy" chances through spamming...

There is no shame to admit that Ronaldo is the superior CL knockout player. In the past 5 seasons Messi scored 2 goals from the quarter finals onwards while Ronaldo scored 20. It's what it is and it's not only because Madrid have a better midfield either. Madrid were heavily outplayed many times...

His ideas still work. He hasn't lost anything. 6 games remain for him to win the Premier League with 102 points with a team where I wouldn't take any player except De Bruyne for Barca as a starter. Even for this current Barca which isn't the greatest. He himself set the expectations so high...

If you are referring to the 12/13 season where Tito went for cancer treatment as "winning without a coach" then you couldn't be more wrong. Tito was a great tactician and it was due to his coaching and formation changes that we could turn losses or draws into wins at the beginning of the season...

Absolutely class throughout the season whenever he played. I don't even know how he does it without any rythm in a position that requires it the most on the pitch.

People have left Barca and gained nothing from it. Pep is getting trashed every season in the CL, Thiago is winning a useless champagne platter every season, Neymar went from being called 2nd best player in the world to fighting for penalties with Cavani in a farmer's league and getting outshone...

GOATVerde delivers and delivers.

To be honest timing also plays its part. Real Madrid's peak era is coming at a time when there is no other elite team out there, only oil money pretenders like PSG and City who are not great overnight just because they spent trillions. During our peak with Xavi and Iniesta we competed against...

He is better than Modric anyway.

He actually did with Argentina. He scored that great goal during training.

A quick reminder to everyone who always want every player to rest every game. 2 weeks of rest and he already looks rusty. Resting players too much isn't always productive. GOATverde knows best.

Why waste energy when you can sleepwalk to a 4-1 victory? Valverde is GOAT.
