Yes with all the players have now and in better place would batter them I agree.

Then with players have.. Pedri fit and Dembele firing but wasnt case then.

Barca were dropping points to worse teams than Benfica before xmas and were battered by Bayern as well.

Things have completely changed.

If Koeman would have obtained a draw vs Benfica like Xavi did we would've gone through.

Indeed but Xavi had the chance to beat them at home also and couldnt.

Smaller chance to then beat Bayern and got battered.

Players were a different ball game back then.

Benfica then put out Ajax.

Not as bad in CL as is made out.

Xavi never lost an away game in 90 mins since he became manager. With or without the new signings. Is it so hard for you to accept that he's a different level to Koeman?

Getting rolled over by Bayerns 3rd team was probably the lowest moment I can remember. Felt a million miles away from Europes elite. Shows how quickly things can change in football.

You’re missing the point completely. Not about who is doing better. About double standards being applied. You are doing that thing again where you are coming up with silly arguments.

Good for Xavi.

Point remains he had the chance to beat this Benfica team at home to go through in CL and didnt.

You miss point as usual.

This Goncalo Ramos lad is supposed to be a big talent but he sucks.
