J37 - La Liga 18/19 | FC Barcelona v Getafe | 12 May 2019 [R]

Before kickoff the club honored the team that was my introduction to FC Barcelona: The 1979 Cup Winners' Cup champions!
May 16 marks the 40th anniversary of their 4-3 vitcory over Fortuna Duesseldorf in Basel.
Rexach, De la Cruz, Zuviría, Tente Sánchez, Pere Valentí Mora, Esteban, Carrasco, Asensi, Migueli, Quique Costas, Isidre Tarrés, Manolo Martínez, Albadalejo, Paco Martínez, Félix Pomares, Papitu Ramos and staff member Angel Mur all appeared for the occasion.
(No goalkeeper Artola, Neeskens or Krankl )
Largely forgotten now but that victory was a major achievement for the club at the time as it marked their first ever victory in a UEFA tournament (not counting the Fairs' Cup) following the heartbreak final defeats of 1961 and 1969.
"The Heroes of Basel"

 

La Liga is already won, time for youngsters. Aleña, Puig!

 

Should have started (imo)

 

Yeah absolutely. Valverde wanted to give the 11 a chance to rectify themselves but have shown more disgrace playing like shit, especially Busi.

 

Hope that's the last we see of that shitty Coutinho.

 

Are you doing it? Really? I'm gonna wager 3-3 [emoji23]

 

I don't know. They're also down to ten men.

 

Are you underestimating celitos jinxing power?

 

Again Semedo in for Malcom and Craperto gets to remain, why? Just why? I hope Getafe scores. I can't take this idiot coach.

 

He just doesn't give a shit it seems. He should unless he wants mbappe to get that shoe.

 

Getafe hits the post.

 

Messi makes it 2-0 and looks depressed.

******** you Valverde and Bartomeu.

 

Messi scores. 2-0. Barely reacts. He's hurt from our CL crumble.

 

Hehe get bent Getafe
Valencia in

 

Not a crucial goal was it? Absolutely useless [emoji23]

 

FT: 2-0.

Vidal and Messi.

 

Yes and no. I would rather have seen the kids play. Abel was good coming in but honestly it was an absolute bore.

I wish it was August with fresh start.
