Great football match for neutral fans.

P.S. In Plzen we trust!

Great how? This is great if you hate Barca or love Inter because Inter played it right tactically .. but as a neutral fan I dont think there is anything to enjoy from Barca sides except Lewa .. Xavi was horrible at controlling the game .. Dembele is stupid .. and our youngsters were toothless

The physical and mental toll of being a Barca fan these days is really taxing, it can seriously cause health issues. Take care everybody.

Despite the perennial heartbreaks and suffering, :barcaflag:

And Xavi out, raus!

This club is ROTTEN to the core with arrogance. We are not as good as we think we are; we are not the sextuple Barcelona anymore. Notice how we concede immediately after scoring or taking the lead, right as the arrogance begins to kick in.

All of the goals had as a precursor poor/unnecessarily risky decision making, most of it easily avoidable. We cannot for the love of God maintain a cool ahead and remember all the fuckin' humiliation we have endured in recent years and play with prudence and sustain a result all the way to the 90th minute.

we play easy football for rivals. and to be honest, it is outdated and not professional. tactics are chosen from the players, we don?t have. there is no defense, we still play high. midfield cannot control the ball. We need a professional coach.

And what the hell Pep? How can he sleep at night watching Barca suffering like this and knowing that he has all the right keys to rebuild this Barca?

0% chance Xavi gets sacked anytime soon. I think we would have to go into a freefall of maybe losing 10/15 games for that to happen, which could if we played decent teams. The fact that this piss poor team is currently on top of La Liga tells you all you need to know about the strength of the league.

This has been another disgraceful exit from the CL, but much worse than with Koeman since Xavi was given a massive squad boost. We had doubts about Xavi and he has shown absolutely nothing. No tactical nous, no improvement in results, no attractive football - just nothing. He's not a good manager, end of story. Problem is, it's Xavi - the board will not make humiliate him by sacking him early. We've dug ourselves into a bigger hole than we were in already. Massive levers pulled and now we're going to get spanked out of Europa in 1/8 or 1/16. Let's face it - we are nowhere near good enough to win Europa.

Any chance that Xavi gets sacked if we loose to Real Madrid?

Madrid are too proud to park the bus so we actually have a chance. Xavi is stupid against defensive teams, doesnt know how to be patient and control the game .. keeps relying on his wingers to cross instead of his midfielder to hypnotize and then break the defense
 
IF inter draws and then loses to Bayern, we can go through with 2 wins.

But ain't happening

If you win against Bayern.

But Inter will not play with the C team with 16-year olds and a makeshift attack like Bayern did today in the second half...

You want him to stop coaching the best squad in the world to come pick up the pieces of almost a decade of mismanagement?

Well, losing three centerbacks including the best RB was a bit much for this squad to absorb. Garcia proves yet again that he can be beat one on one, which is rather serious for a CB. The first Inter goal, Pique was covering Dzeko, who permitted that run into the box by the other forward? Truly terrible defense on all three Inter goals, this was real incompetence.

Alonso is clearly the team's third best LB, what is it that Xavi sees in him? His only positive seems to be that he is big, but not surprisingly he is also amazingly slow for a FB. He does not dribble or pass the ball well enough to play any position for Barca.

The Barca forwards were better this game, that's something.

Kounde better be back for Madrid.

Lmao. Blaming Pep?

Pep is a a liar and hypocrite tbh. All that "I can't motivate the players anymore so i have to leave" was always a bunch of horseshit. He left to build his legacy elsewhere, for selfish reasons, away from Messi and Barcelona. How many seasons is he going wtih City? Like 6 or 7? Why isn't he having trouble motivating those players?
