La Liga | Round 22: Betis - FC Barcelona 2-3

Di Maria will cause us problems too.We have such a bad defense it's unreal.

Him alone is nothing. Having the other two is the problem. They are bums without them.

Bums as in a team that we could cope with or win against

What?s the deal with Emerson? Does he come to us for free next year or can we let him stay there?

He's coming back to Barca from his loan this summer.

Barca have to pay 6m to get him back and something like 20% future fee to Betis.

PSG are not great, but their offense with our defense it's a joke of duel.We have no chance to qualify imo.

Great enough to compete with bayern(8:2) and reach cl final. We have no defense. Neymar and mbappe will have their big day. Not sure how long their big day will last after they smash us but we know that those players tend to destroy us. Already sick of hearing how great neymar is and how a big talent mbappe is.

I think he was subbed off today at 11 minutes. Maybe injured?

Cheers!
Could make some money off of him.

 

[Horatio]

Haha what is relevance of that? That you wanted Barca to turn it around?

Don't turn on me now.

Them getting to the final doesn?t mean that much. We could?ve done it against those opponents. They got Dortmund-Atalanta-Leipzig to get to the final and even against them they needed some luck.

Their forwards will have a field day against our current defence though.

psg with kimpembe, kurzawa, florenzi and rico is not better than barca defence.. stop overrate them.. they have neymar, mbappe, di maria.. we have messi, dembele, griezmann. 50/50

Marquinhos-Kimpembe >>>>>>> Lenglet and probably Umtiti.

It's like Backstreet Boys vs One Direction in the battle of the epic rock bands.

No, but La Liga is done. Copa is priority 1, then CL.

Imo La Liga is more likely to be won than CL atm, even with the the lead of Atletico. Most likely Barca won't even qualify against PSG not to mention there are clubs like Bayern, City, LFC just waiting for Barca

Barca will clearly make the CL a priority. There is a lot of money involved in going further even if PSG favourites.

The tie vs PSG will be the one planned for and taken priority ahead of any Copa or League game.

Still there is little chance of progress against PSG and also plenty of stronger teams remaining in the competition.

It means resting players for CL, which we should not do, especially in the Copa at this advanced stage. For example, we need to go with the best of what we got away vs Sevilla in 4 days.

Exactly.

We have our own version of Di Maria!

Of course Barcelona has two options: either to keep the ball, or to do the complete opposite; sit back and hope Messi or Dembele can save them, and that their defense will handle crosses and stuff better than counters...
I think they should try to keep the ball - but then Greasy and Dembele can't play, neither can Pjanic or Braithwaite. It's tough to find forwards... Messi, Pedri, Fati?
