Its as much about how the players that stayed on were set up.

PSG still had to score 3 to tie the game and 4 to go through in 90 mins they did it with ease.

Barca were still favs to go through even with the red card.

Also the red card comes from the opposition targetting Araujos weaknesss. If he is picked and left to repeat those weaknesses that is also in part on coach when goes wrong.

PSG missed a ton of chances even with the 6 goals they scored. Think they hit woodwork another 3 times as well.

If the mistake of Araujo is bad luck for Xavi then Donnaruma playing like a buffoon in first leg was his luck.

Did Flick keep Lewa on in a game we went down to 10 recently?.

Not trying to be a dick, genuine question pretty sure he did.

Point being their was some logic in keeping in Lewa and he almost scored in the end.

That being said Lewa kinda cost us that game almost as much as araujo, missed a few chances you would expect him to take.

I understand the logic. Not hating on it, but I personally didn't like it at all.
If Lewandowski was a more mobile and quicker striker or great at headers so spamming crosses was a legit option I'd maybe like it more.

Patiently waiting for him, Pedri and the rest of the core of this team to lead us to a CL title sooner rather than later, and firmly put their name into the hall of fame of this club.

We're not in the little league anymore. Time for the full package. Sick of praising players for doing well on low pressure then seeing pricks like Vinicius lifting CL after CL, and blaming it on voodoo, luck, weak competition or whatever.

Time for the serious business starts this season. The team is reaching maturity, we have a top manager, super talents. Damn shame we lack a stadium. Once the 105k seater is finished and our talents improve even more... we're primed for big things. And when we go big... we go really really big.

Its nonsense anyway.

Romario barely behaved like a professional at times.
Ronaldo agents chased money after 1 year and new that was in Italy.
Ronaldinho got fat and got more chances than probably should have for how out of shape he got.
Neymar pushed to leave and club did all could for him to stay from board to Messi.

Its an easy trope to make out the club fucked over these players. No reality though.

The difference is with Raphinha he wont have that power as not the star player and he is not about throwing weight like that anyway.

They said he can't dribble!!

Let the man cook!!.

Until 2026 then we'll reevaluate.

Fake news.. said he is not a RW posted on the touchline in structured game like that. Quite clearly proven correct.

In fact said he would be better central than that in chaos of game where he thrives more.

Granted never thought he would be this good and Yamal emerging solved the issue of Raphinha not being a top RW from wide.

Same Raphinha you wanted sold also chief so hollow point again.

There is no way they wait until 2026 he will be renewed soon if can find common ground.

He's not serious enough in the league

In that horrible league run it also was his wasted chances that cost us some points. Chances that you know he would bury with absolute ease if it was the CL.

One of rare shit performances this season, it happens. We won so who really cares
