There are vibes of Xavi's first Clasico as coach in 2022, the 4-0... LPB maybe feeling distracted by their CL advancement, maybe feeling a bit...
That backline of Rudiger plus 3 converted midfielders... :coffee:
Another historical touchstone: the 2006 CL final vs. Arsenal. Jens Lehmann brought down Eto'o outside of the box in the early minutes. Gunners...

Araujo, FdJ and Lamine gotta remember: we're up 2 goals, no stupid yellows
