Win tonight and top 8 and direct qualification for last 16 is is secured.
Not only that. The top place in the league have 2 more advantages. Getting a potentially weaker opponent and the higher you end up in the league, the more money you get additionally to the wins.
Anyone watched Benfica this season and know, if they're comfortable to park the bus? They should see that we slaughter open teams this season, but have difficulties to score against low blocks.
Let's hope they will try play and press us.

Because he makes mistakes and he underrated the opponent.

Flick has a very thin squad.

He makes it thiner by his own choices. Why doesn't he use Fermin and Pablo more? Pau too. Fort has barely played as well. Won't even talk about Ansu who I still believe could be useful if given minutes. And don't use the "he can't press" excuse. Tractor can't either and he stopped scoring and is still starting every game.

As things are going we still might get Man City or PSG 😆

Why did he rotate at Osasuna?
Funny, hadn't seen it coming that you'd dislike Flick so much. I mean I get that Xavi's firing was incredibly badly handled, and it embarassed me aswell. Xavi didn't do a bad job and is a club legend, deserved much better.
But Flick has done quite well so far.
The football we are playing is more entertaining than it has been for years, a lot of players progressed under him, and he is really putting a lot of trust in La Masia (which you would appreciate no?).
I get that our latest run in the league has been awful, but we've had next to no luck in those games and would've normally scraped a few points together.

A lot of positive signs and vibes around the team atm, and it's his first season here, why so sour? Not sure who'd done much better in this situation.

He's not spanish/catalan and his understanding of football is slightly different to that Barca fans are used to, that's pretty much everything there is to it lol
