League champions 🏆

How about having some patience first? Inter that everyone seems to joke about played in CL last year, unlike us. They barely got eliminated by the finalists after having Liverpool on the ropes at home until the sending off. They also fought for the title with the last rounds, unlike us.

You give examples about last season, but last season the Xavi took the team midseason from 9th fucking place.

Barca are a better team than Inter even if they made way to semis.

Inter making it that far shows how poor the argument of Barca being so far away from having a squad to compete in Europe is. Particularly when get a favourable run.

Mou He is so much more bearable when he coaches a team I actually like.

Lol, Jam Dav has no shame. Vs Inter, Christensen out, Araujo out, Kounde out, and De Jong not fit for full 90 mins.

But Xavi chose the wrong defense.

As in he didn't play a bunch of nobodies from Barca B to block Lautaro.

I didn't even count Roma

4 serie The worst league in the universe A, in Europe SF
2 la Liga
1 EPL.

Like carlo said it's not as straight forward as some say, especially those who only use Europe as the measure of how good a league is.

FDJ was fit. Stop repeating that lie and Barca were still favs to go through v Inter and Xavi made it worse with selection.

He absolutely chose the wrong defence and put wrong midifeld on front of it.

Balde didnt play... Alba could have played and Alonso could have been CB all while could have had FDJ to help protect them.

Amateur hour.

Shite maths.

Try again.

You like to use history and 'last five years'.

Go check what league is ranked first in that time... good lad.

Yes, yes, more delusion.

Same situation as Rashford tonight. I suppose Ten Hag benched him because of poor form vs Sevilla.

He was obviously fit because he was put on. Jamdav logic at work.

Nope nope all fact.

FDJ was back in full training and had played half hour last game before and was clearly fit when played. Played 90 mins a few days lter and was reported to be angry at not being picked.

Balde was best LB by then... didn start.. could have been RB even and Alba LB with Alonso CB.

Fatr better set up.

Wrong about Rashford... barely been in training and didnt play game before this at all.. try again.

As bad as your 'Messi v PSG' comparison that one.

This is his level. This is where he can act the victim and apply the siege mentality successfully. At a club like Madrid it will never work + you look like a clown.

In isolation it's no disgrace yes but the problem is the same thing keeps repeating, with losses to teams around our strength level over and over (Bayern, Inter, Man U, even Frankfurt) that obviously in their respective seasons have all proven they are well beatable and not top level.

Bayern this season have had their worst Buli season for decades and got dismantled by City, but nope too good for us. Man U are fighting for top4 and just got kicked out by Sevilla, have taken a number of humiliating losses this season, nope too good for us. Inter are fighting for top4 in Serie A, nope too good for us.

This attitude of excuses has been prevalent whenever we lose to any team around our skill level, and its not acceptable, we have to be demanding better as the team is clearly capable of doing it if they can top LaLiga by 11 points.

Xavi is not shit but he did approach those European ties poorly.

Good post. It's just sad that Barca always finds a way to fuck up when facing teams that are at a similar to worse level in Europe, and even sadder than some of it's fans always have excuses to give whenever it happens

Put them all in a league format an the Italians would be midtable at best.

 

[JamDav1982]

Go tell us how many teams from each league left in Europe chief.... clueless as ever.

'Just two games'
'Poor Barca only team to get injuries'
'Fine margins'

Same excuses lost in each of last 10 games and only beat Plzn.

Probably.
