You keep making the mistake of always equating money with quality. How many of these players are world-class and can actually walk into either the Real Madrid or Barca starting XI? Only Alvarez and Oblak stand out.

Could Atletico have done better these last few years, by at least nicking a cup win, here and there? Yes. But Simeone has already done more than enough for them to retain faith in him even if he has gone trophyless for 4 seasons.

If I were an Atletico fan, I would be more concerned about closing the gap on Madrid and Barca than outrightly demanding for trophies. Atletico haven't done that in recent seasons and on that, I can agree Simeone deserves criticism.

Atletico team is good enough to win the league ahead of Barcelona and Madrid

Who Barca Dey buy ? Nobody

Mind you I am not saying simeone wasn’t a success there ,I am only talking about his performance for the past 4 years where he has won nothing

Gucciboy:
This is why laligais is 2 team league because nobody cares about any other team. Come to epl, Diego someone will be roasted every week from rival fans to media. You can't escape the pressure.

Arteta don Dey arsenal 7 years with zero epl titles after spending billions yet English media Dey praise am

You can’t escape pressure una

If we ask Diego someone to win trophy now his fans will come and defend him

The way this atletico Madrid dey sign players ehnn

E be like dem even Dey do pass epl teams

jpmoriarti:
I wish I was. Which striker can we realistically sign? Of course, we have to sign but who?

I don't believe we should thrust the 18 year old Egyptian we just signed into the first team duties immediately. He has to adapt so we don't make same mistake we did with Vitor Roque.

As a striker rashford won’t even do better than ferran wey we wan talk swear kpai

I no Dey see that Egyptian yet ,I have never watched him play

jpmoriarti:
And people demanding that Barcelona get another striker in the level of Mbappe or Halland, I don't know if that would be possible.

Barca has signed 18 yr old Hamza Abdelkarim for the B team but he might be the one to ultimately become the main striker. So until he is ready to take up this position, we might very well see Ferran Torres and possibly Rashford as the main strikers next season. Lewandowski might even be persuaded to stay one more season.

Rashford as my striker ? You better be joking

Ballzproblem2:
Jaquet to Liverpool,how directors strikes again ,Liam better enjoy all the memories now because you are heading maresca way,fans protested only one day and called it say ,bunch of jokers .

You have young defenders who are on the same level with him ,there is no need if you think am self ,but una Kuku like to Dey buy everything

AirBere:

Flick tax. Let Mbape play under Flick and take Ferran to go play under Alonso or Arbeloa lol.

Lol

Ibime:
The more I watch Tochukwu Nnadi, the more I'm convinced he is a top10 Premier League DM. Super Eagles have found something in the lad

E be like say this your boy to join marsielle o

AirBere:
Ah, I for say ooo. Lol 😂😂😂

But you self check am ,only 3 goals ahead of him without pk ooo ,and ferran don play lesser games

AirBere:
How true is this?

Like Mbape have scored just one more goal than Mbape in Laliga without pks?

Hmmm 🤔

Sorry I made a mistake

Without pk mbappe got 3 league goals than ferran

jpmoriarti:
But this is so unfair to Barcelona. The referees make all kinds of errors against Barcelona and we lose points against Real Sociedad. But against Real Madrid, they do everything possible to ensure they don’t drop points.

Adding 9 minutes extra time against a 10 man Rayo, when nothing really happened to warrant such enormous added time. It’s embarrassing 😳

Very embarrassing

I wonder Wetin 9 minutes Dey find for their game😂

jpmoriarti:
Barcelona should be very careful because referees will never allow Real Madrid to drop any point this season 😳😳

Ref can’t save them everyday

They are very poor

AirBere:
That one thing(Finishing) is the most important for strikers. Ferran is 25, in his prime, playing under the most attacking coach in world football. This is his ceiling(level). He'll not be better than what's he's showed so far. In fact, he can actually regress if Flick departs today.

And if you remove pk mbappe have only 1 league goal than him ,while ferran have played lesser minutes

darkelf:
Although I'm concerned about Athleticos style of play, it is better for visibility

Their style of play na no go area sha

But let’s see

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Man literally missed almost a dozen chances last night. This is why I don't rate him at all because at best he's a bench/squad player. He's not a first eleven material in Barca.

I really want Alvarez

Aside foolishly missing those chances ,I still wonder how he always get this chances

Yes we create a lot ,but that dude is always at the right place at the right time ,even as great as lewandowski you won’t see him getting those ferran chances

Only one thing is stopping ferran from becoming a world class striker

Omo Alvarez na money o

I am the happiest person seeing ademola lookman joining atletico

Not that Turkish league nonsense in his prime ,our unproven players can go to turkey while still coming up ,not the big ones please

jpmoriarti:
Barcelona now have 6 players who've scored 10+ goals this season in all competitions:

Ferran Torres (16)
Raphinha (13)
Lamine Yamal (13)
Lewandowski (12)
Fermín López (10)
🏴󠁧󠁢 Rashford (10)

No other team from the Europe's top 5 leagues has more than 3

Ferran torres is an idiot ,but he will easily score 30 goals this season

If we don’t sign a world class striker ,he is benching anybody we are signing

Jamiuokolaa:
Haba

Leave joke aside o

If you Dey watch this game you go follow swear for my players

I am so angry ,I can forgive fermin for that miss

But you see ferran torres ? He is a bloody idio**t

Imagine mbappe in this team ? We will be 5-1 up now

Rubbish

E go hard make garnacho turn elite winger sha

Unlimited22:
Please if you get PSG make sure to pair Cubarsi and Araujo in both legs 😊

😁😁

FBS:
fear dey catch you?

My brother I have everything in my team aside defense ,and you know what that means

Even Kano pillars will score against my defense

We might see Chelsea vs psg again or Barca vs psg

They should give chelsea psg and leave Barca alone

World champions vs European champions

Unlimited22:
Benfica didn't even know they were heading out. Ẹ get one time wey Trubin catch ball dey waste time, meanwhile caméra showed Rui Costa losing it in the stands.

Mourinho go don check scores

I hear say na him ginger that gk to go for that last minute goal

pkasso:
Madrid never experredit. Na Marseille I pity yesterday. To go out like that. Damn! De Zerbi go dey swear for Asencio and Rodrygo.

After game don end and dem feel say dem don make am ,even at 3-2 benfica was still behind ,till that last minute goal by their GK

De zerbi should first swear for Greenwood and co for failing to register a goal against club Brugge ,that would have saved them

pkasso:
Anyone still criticising the new CL format is just hating at this point. UEFA nailed this one. The two seasons have been hits back-to-back.

The carnage and chaos last night was unbelievable. The league table kept changing until the very last minute. Over 25 teams across Europe fighting for something till the final whistle. That's box-office thriller stuff there.

I know all the talk about the teams playing more games, but you can't deny the success of this idea. A couple of years ago, yesterday would have been a host of dead-rubber matches with teams resting their best players.

You go try am now? When you can fall from Top 8 to playoffs in a blink of an eye.

See as Madrid fall from 3rd to 9th yakata

Even psg and Newcastle

drisham:
Psg or Newcastle in ro16

Spurs or Liverpool in QFs

All these strong teams wey Dey finish below the top 8 self na problem

Newcastle and psg ke

Lana1:
And only one Spanish team. LaLiga will soon be third or fourth in the coefficient rankings

No be like that dem Dey run am

One team you performance can carry the league

Benfica gk don score for last seconds to make dem qualify and displace marseille
