Atalanta will face Milan in their last game, juve can still qualify

Even if Milan lose to Atalanta and win all their remaining matches, Milan will still qualify for UCL cos of better head to head record over Juventus.

Where are Oshoala and my female team? More premium tears for Chelsea tomorrow.

Premium tears everywhere.

Tuchel... The finalist heart breaker. Chelsea woes begin today. Tomorrow, my female team will add to the woes of this pathetic club.

Postdigger, wey you o. Come and do justice to this losers.

In Laporta I still trust. We shall rise again

Awesome01:
Barcelona! My Barcelona! Who hadt cursed thee with these mediocre coaches?

The legend of Messi is the reason. Messi's GOAT nature is the reason Barcelona board started embracing mediocrity.

ThierryJay:
This is not about Pedri. We scored 3 goals away from home. That's quite decent and I'm sure Atletico and Madrid's average goals scored away this season is not up to 3.

Our Achilles heel is the abject inability to defend any winning margin we have at the back. For God's sake we scored 3! Let the defenders do their job too which is to defend. Your fingers should be pointed at dem Dests, Robertos, Minguezas, Umtitis, Lenglets and not a budding Pedri Mr.

The Barca of those days, when they were 2 Nil up, would use the midfield play to kill off any hope of any comeback from the opposition. When the midfield isn't doing its job, it exposes the defence to serial attacks.

At 19, Xavi was already controlling Barca's midfield. Pedri is just a one touch pass kind of player. He doesn't know how to drive or move with the ball. His contribution to defence is sub-zero.

Omo, we are back to the pre Rijkaard era o.

BykeLaByke:
See match wey I think say Barca don win finish.

Omo coaching matter a lot for football o.

So Osasuna didn't teach you never to rely on this dead team

BlueMann:
So the man removed Roberto after bringing him on, and put Puig by force.

But wait, did Araujo or Dembele sustain injuries?

No injuries at all. The coach is simply clueless.

A midfield with Pedri will always be swallowed by half-decent team because Pedri is not the decent player for a club like Barcelona.

Pedri is a waste of space. He's NOT the future. A serious coach would have got an alternative by now, even if it's from team B

Your sharpest attacking player today Dembele, you remove for Dest. Removed Araujo for Roberto. I hope Laporta is seeing the ineptitude coach called Koeman.

jpmoriarti:
Barca win today and we sleep as leaders. I also get a nice birthday gift.

But I dont like these Levante people at all. Very nonsense team. Only show muscle when they see top team

HBD JP

Inasmuch as you are celebrating Chelsea's victory over man City tonight, isn't DEJAVU playing already?

Check Arsenal's 'invincible' 2003/04 season vs Chelsea

I won't say more than this.

jpmoriarti:
This is not Pedri's fault that he did not have a quality competitor. Koeman froze Puig out of the team and Coutinho had been injured and forgotten. Pjanic is one of the worst signing in Barcelona. So you see, either by design or fate, Pedri did not have a single competitor for his position. He rarely got injured too, so he was always available for the coach.

It's Pedri's fault that he's not taking his chances to solidify himself as the best player in his position despite playing over 50 games this season. His honeymoon with Koeman won't last forever, and for a club like Barcelona with Laporta at the head, I expect improvement next season.

Pedri should either step up or get ready to sit on a bench with seat-belt next season.

jpmoriarti:
For your information, Mason Mount is 22 yrs. Phil Foden is 20 yrs. Pedri is 18yrs. How are they age mates?

In your bid to throw Pedri under the bus, you had to distort facts about the other player's age.
Can you tell me what Iniesta was doing at 18 ? Probably still in Team B.

Like it or not, Pedri is the revelation of our season. Every player has their up and down in a season, much less an 18 yr old, who is having his first ever season in topflight football.

A serious club won't allow Pedri up to 50 games while dropping poor performance. Foden at that age was still struggling to enter man city team despite winning U-17 World Cup and golden ball.

Iniesta at 18 was struggling for 1st team in a very weak Barcelona team. But no, Pedri must play every game even when it's glaring that he can't control our game.

If we wanna be competitive again, Pedri is not the one to control our midfield.

jpmoriarti:
Give the kid a break!!! How many goal and assist did Iniesta have during his entire career. You guyz are just being too hard on the 18-yr old. To come in from 2nd division and manage to become a fixture in Barca's first eleven, is enormous for the kid.

Are you kidding me? Don't you dare compare Iniesta with Pedri. I'll stop there.

It's a pity we now experiment at Barcelona. Mount and Foden are his age mate, yet have out-performed him in every way despite playing less matches.

I don't blame Pedri sha. A serious coach won't even allow him to play this much while dropping very poor performances.

SonOfAfonja:
Koeman the reta.rded is the sole cause. Pedri is an excellent player but he’s burnt out...

He's played almost 60 matches and his goals and assists combined are less than 8. How is that an excellent stat?

jpmoriarti:
A point that does no one any good.

A precious point for Atletico if you look at the situation very well. It's Barca that's on a loss.

You know your team is rubbish when you have Pedri as a 1st team player.

Zero creative pass
Zero marking
Zero drive
Zero control of midfield

Unlimited22:
Lol.

I'm not sure you got the reference Shaa.

What has happened to Ricard Puig?

The more you look...

jpmoriarti:
We have been out of sort since Busquets departed.

Not looking good.

We've always been out of sort against a big team. Busquets out has exposed us more. I'll be shocked if we win today.

That would have been a great goal there.

Unlimited22:

I am not Havertz10 please

Even Havertz is better than Pedri.

Busquets out, midfield don collapse.

Unlimited22:
Lol allow the small boy na

Should we swap Pedri with Mount?

Neimar:
Wtf is this useless Pedri playing??

That one na #PasstoMessi merchant. No brain at all.

Can we win a La liga match in the afternoon against a top 4 team?

Moriba can still mark and stop opposition's attack. Pedri is a #PasstoMessi merchant who can't mark or initiate attack. He's just a waste of space.

PurpLChi:
Pedri no goals no assists no vision no throughballs no press resistance, just aesthetics, sex with Messi and vibes

He can't even mark or win ball. That guy is just a passenger in the team. A waste in the midfield.
