    Yes
    Real will not win the CL this year or the next
    I was going to say 5 years (I also believe that) but it's too long to wait

    Wonder if this would work.

    Fati ---- Messi ---- Dembele
    Pedri --- FdJ --- Pjanic
    Alba -- Lenglet -- Pique -- Dest

    Still can't believe Messi didn't finish off that goal when he rounded Ramos as if he wasn't there.

    Messi looked very isolated because of the system being deployed...is it just the system or vendetta ?

    Why are you such a drama queen ..

    Nobody takes ANYTHING anyone says as fact .. the tv pundits get paid massive money because they know more about the game than we do ..

    Dembele and Griezmann haven’t done anything in 5 combined years between them at Barca but would’ve tore up Madrid if they were subbed on 15 minutes sooner today.

    OK.

    Good part of it is the system and deterioration of the attack. Since last season he doesn't get the scoring chances he is used to. And I am not talking about tap ins. He is rarely getting those openings on top of the box he used to get. His dribbling is not what it used to be but that's to be expected at his age and how many miles he has.

    Messi is the same player he was in terms of dribbling. Magnificent in the first half made a couple of insane runs got fouled twice by Casemiro and missed a chance. Other players at times ignore him. He hasn't received a pass inside the box the entire game and no matter how good you are creating your own shot you won't score many goals that way. So far this season he has 3.5 xG and only scored 1 so his finishing is the problem. I'm sure it will turn around as long as his head is in it. But yea this attack while trying to include everyone should still involve Messi. When he doesn't touch the ball for extended periods that doesn't help our chances. Nor does it make him feel very good I would imagine.

    Refs screwed us with that soft PK because we had the momentum and were dominating. I think we outplayed them over 90 minutes to be honest.

    I think everyone on this thread knows that you carry that title.

    You asserted that the pundits had x opinion on Pedri full stop. No nuance. So of course people will assume that you take it as fact. Learn to nuance what you say if you don’t want people reading it the wrong way.

    As far as pundits knowing more about the game than we do: I’m sure they know a lot. But that hardly means that their opinion trumps everyone else’s. The nonsense some of these idiots say on national tv... I’d use my own eyes and functioning brain to draw conclusions.

    Yawn ...

    Back in the real world ..

    Someone suggested that the game was took much for Pedri and I agreed and said so .... ( see attached) .

    Then you got stroppy and I added weight to our case by mentioning that even the tv pundits had said that Pedri was a massive talent BUT the game was too big for him today ..

    That’s all that happened... no great deal .

    De Jong is quite overrated.

    Pedrid has incredible ball control. But for some reason Koeman plays him as RW which is not his position.

    Nah, you thought you could come in here and use the almighty pundits’ opinion as the be-all and end-all of opinions. Could have just left it at your opinion, even if, once more, unnuanced.

    I see you’ve started being more creative and putting in more effort into your retorts. Way to go chap. It’s quite entertaining I’ll give you that.

    If nothing happened than you wouldn’t have put so much effort in trying to prove your point. Attempting to turn this on me isn’t really the strategy you want to go for in this case. Try again.

    Lmfao exactly. Barca still played well until the controversial penalty tbh. This team isn’t regressing like many people on social media is claiming. We obviously need time to get back in good form and in a transitional phase. I swear the reactionary takes by some Redditors is hilarious.
