This is what is waiting us in the CL

If we don't improve our squad, for sure this is what expects us in knockout games if we have an injury crisis in the key portion of the season.

It's a near certainty. You can't polish a turd.

Xavi should have parked the bus in retrospect with that midfield, got to excited because we played at home and Madrid caught us on the break big time.

First half we were in control, but they were still definitely above average. Second half they outclassed Barcelona in every position. Open your eyes, accept and move on brother.

Look at the defensive shape in the 2nd half. It was non-existent, they upped the intensity slightly and our players just couldn't cover the ground and started making really dumb decisions - we basically just opened up for them.
tldr: we went full retard.

xavi needs a squad 10x better than the opposition to stand a chance i guess... also all those teams in the CL currently have much better squads then ours i guess..
oen thing to lose but the manner in which we have lost under xavi is not acceptable.

That’s why Frenkie was heavily missed.

That?s why Frenkie was heavily missed.

Absolutely.

FDJ is Barcas best player and the one with best understanding of game and how he needs to try and help balance the midfield.

Will always be the player missed the most and particualry when have players like Busi who cant run and Gavi who can run but cant run in right places.

We collapsed mate.
They didn't outclass shit
We opened up inexplicably and gave them free goals with every ball they played at our backline

Learn to understand the difference

You should learn to understand that one team outclassing and other collapsing can both exist in the same game. Get cheeky if you want buddy but I know what happened and accept it. You clearly aren't :lol:

Barca were not as good in first half as some making out.

Barely created a clear chance and Real were waitng to try and hit them on break.. which they did to score in that first half.

Classic us to lose that one so heavily.

Decent first 40 minutes where we should have been more clinical but lacked real cutting edge.
Rafinha was eliminated by Camavinga leaving Lewa isolated more often than not.

Once they scored an undeserved first goal, you could see our body language completely drop and they took advantage of this toxic, rotten 'soft' mentality we have.

Congrats to Real, we don't deserve anything if we can't cope conceding 1 or 2 goals, ESPECIALLY at home.

I was really worried by the lack of animation or direction from Xavi at 2-1 down also, he was a fucking ghost again.

Outclassing and collapsing can't coexist in a football game according to @Birdy
