Fermin should probably be taken off for Roony and then Yamal should be moved to the AM position

We're playing with a higher line in this second half than we did in the first 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Lamine Yamal misses a penalty. The ball hit the post.

Raphinha hits the post

What the hell was Cubarsi doing marking all the way in Girona's half, thereby leaving Eric all alone?

Fermin with his own miss

Raphinha and Lamine Yamal just missed two clear cut chances 🙆🏽‍♂️

seems they are focusing much of their strength on the copa del rey. Top 4 in the league seems to be sufficient for them and a copa del rey to cap off the season.

Possibly, but this is still a very shameful loss. Rayo Vallecano are usually a very stubborn team but losing 3:0 to them is shocking to say the least.

What shall it profit you to beat Barcelona 4:0 and then lose 3:0 to Rayo Vallecano only few days later?

Atletico Madrid are currently being pounded 3:0 by Rayo Vallecano

Stupidity at its finest

Hansi Flick needs losses like this to remind him of the ridiculousness of his high line philosophy. You don't play that way when players like Pedri, Raphinha and Rashford are injured.


Simeone's son probably played the best game of his life because that left wing was totally empty as a result of Hansi Flick playing Dani Olmo in an unnatural position.


Most fans have already accepted that we'll always concede with a high line but of what use is the high line if players like Pedri, Rashford and Raphinha aren't available? How can you outscore your opponents if those players are injured?

everybody is playing rubbish

From the way he moves with the ball on the left wing, one can easily tell that he was probably a former winger.

Atletico Madrid shouldn't underrate Barcelona in the second leg because of this first leg victory. Barcelona are known as the "Comeback Kings" for a reason. 😎

Cancelo moves like a winger that has forgotten how to be a winger because he was forcefully converted to a fullback. You can clearly see from the way he moves and dribbles that he still has IT in him.

Sorloth misses an open net 😲

What is Fermin Lopez even doing on that pitch?

Disgusting performance

TheLoneCitizen:
Rashford was not even starting. The only player missing here is Raphinha and Pedri.

I watched the El Classico, and they didn't try this highline.

Rashford is not a regular starter but he already has 10 goals and 13 assists across all competitions with a bulk of those coming in the champions league.


Bro, I'm a hardcore Barca fan and I'm telling you that there's no way Rashford would be playing this match and then Simeone's son would feel so confident to make those dashing runs because he would be afraid of Rashford's pace during counter attacks.


That left wing is totally useless because Dani Olmo who's a natural midfielder was forced to play as a LW and now Ferran who's a Striker has been moved there too.


Flick shouldn't be playing a high line when his main guys aren't playing or are being played in unnatural positions

TheLoneCitizen:
I do see this running joke on X: "if I catch Barca high-line".

Never really understood cause I don't watch La Liga till now.
How have they dominated Real Madrid in every El Classico with such Postecoglu-esque highline. Criminal.

Anyone can score Barcelona because of Hansi Flick's high line philosophy. He always feels confident to play that way because he knows that players like Pedri, Raphinha and Rashford will always find a way to score/assist and eventually grab the victory for Barcelona.

Unfortunately those players aren't available today due to injury. Barcelona's midfield and wings are completely dead today. Yamal is suffering as well.

Simeone can't believe what is happening. This is probably his biggest victory over Barcelona since he became Atleti's coach

Alvarez's goal drought is finally over

TheLoneCitizen:
It was a bad miss. Good thing he passed the third to their best finisher

I would have been so pissed off if Lookman didn't score against this Barcelona team that's missing Pedri, Raphinha, Gavi and Rashford.

Have you seen the importance of Rashford? We can't have a Rashford on the wings and Simeone would feel confident enough to make those dashing runs because he'll always be afraid of Rashford's incredible pace.

Beautiful goal from Lookman after three sexy passes from Griezmann to Simeone to Alvarez to Lookman who then finished it beautifully.

What an off the line clearance from Kounde of all people. Wow!!! 😳

We're clearly missing Raphinha / Rashford's impact

Barcelona is clearly suffering from too many injuries to its players

TheLoneCitizen:
.

I just checked and it's showing as an own goal on some websites. The entire ball clearly crossed the line before Joan Garcia pushed it out.

I complained about Joan Garcia losing concentration in the last game. He just did so again and unfortunately it cost us.
