I will believe it when I see it! Yes the league is almost won but how can anybody claim that the Copa is a cake walk!? Sevilla is a pretty strong team

Not just a pretty strong team but a very strong team in knock-out competitions. Those 3 successive Europa League titles prove they come to play when it’s a winner takes all. My guess is Sevilla will be looking for revenge for the 2015-16 Final.

No one can look at me with a straight face and say that we've played consistently well this season. The results are only papering over the cracks, we have much larger, deeper systemic problems.

It's not a matter of if we get exposed but rather when if we keep playing the way we're playing. Only the blind and ignorant could suggest otherwise.

I just hope Valverde and the team can ride this wave of good fortune to a treble. Just somehow win the CL this season and we can deal with the rest next season.

I think this is the recipe Madrid has for CL. They always play good enough to beat the team they face, and the opponent always has chances, but somehow they don't concede many goals and make the difference up front. A game with chances at both ends favors the team with better mentality and better players. There's no team who has as many stars and serial winners as Barca and Madrid. There are players in this teams who are absolutely loaded with highly prized titles.

Think about the last clasico. It was incredible similar approach by both managers. They had the chance to go in front, missed it, then we had the chance to go in front and punished them, then picked them apart on the break. It was a case of two teams, with similar approach, winning or losing based on making the most of their chances. Both Barca and Madrid rely a lot on scoring their chances through having superior attacking players than just about any team out there. It's not like they create more chances than the opponent, is that they score them because they have a Messi, a Suarez, a Ronaldo etc.

So Valverde is not even "decent" manager now and you would want a Madridista as coach (as if he'd come here anyway).

Valverde might be a manager to win us some trophies but there is no way he will help us develop players for the long-run and grow the team. And I bet his second season (don't even have to wait until the third season) will show major cracks.

He IS a Mourinho.

True. Said the same thing a while ago. He sets up the team well tactically, but overuses the same players, and his development in young players is a joke. Good short term manager though.

He will be out of here in 2 seasons. Decent coach but not the kind of coach Barca need. He doesn't seem to have any long term plans. If he follows Lucho trajectory I will be somewhat happy.
