Ferran isn't Barca quality, like Eric Garcia water go soon pass garri. All this shark 🦈 talk nah wash.

Dejong has been here for almost 6 seasons with no memory moment but I'm to believe he's more talented than King Rakitic. Shey nah talent I want chop abi doings on the pitch.


If I speak on Dejong the ball hugging bug eh...

We'll have a summer of sales some might be painful
PSV want to trigger dest's 10m clause with ajax also interested so that one's almost gone
Lenglet did extremely well as a backup for Aston villa when Pau Torres was out so we'll just have to pray Aston villa qualify for the UCL then sign him for probably a small fee cause of his salary which would be superb cause I don't think we can keep loaning him out till 2026, the Frenchman has to go with every possible trick in the book even if it involves contract termination
I think we might still try to buy cancelo but for a slightly reduced price which city might not agree to this time around, Felix might go back
We might have to sell one defender, probably Christensen or kounde but I don't want kounde gone cause of him at RB so let's see
FDJ's case is the one I'm eager to see, heard pI$$g asked about him
Ferran might leave if he finally decides he wants to be a starter
With Raphinha's performances he's going nowhere except maybe with a bid over 100million but I'll still prefer to keep him, RW market scarce
Lewa and inigo just have a season left so we'll likely leave them but roque has to start playing more starting from this season
Fermin might also sadly go though I hope not

Sell and accumulate over a 100m, go back to the 1:1 made up tebas rule and upgrade the team

OhBritannia:
Even after we had the red card, we were still trying to manage the game but the decision making of cancelo to tackle dembele like that was the most foolish and stupid decision ever, like what the hell was he thinking?
as at when we were looking for a equaliser.
Like i have never seen a player make such a stupid decision in my life.
Your teammates are struggling to breate and you went to throw them inside a river again.

Everything that happened in the match was as a result of nonsense decision making, from Aruajo to xavi removing yamal to the foolishness of cancelo and the selfishness of Lewandowski.

If Aruajo had not fouled the guy, even if he scored, Barcelona will still be leading on goal aggregate.
I am just sad not because we lost but because we gave them the win on a gold platter, this is why it hurts so much because taking a look at dortmund, we were already in the uefa champions league final already.

This is why it hurts me so much, just like we gave Liverpool the win on a gold platter years ago when roma was waiting for us in the semi finals, we were already in the finals because there is no way on earth Roma would have defeated us.
All we had to do was draw against Liverpool.

Same thing we gave up against roma because Liverpool was waiting for us in the semis and we would had easily defeated Liverpool.

Barcelona has given up three uefa champions league trophies on a gold platter in the last 5 to 6 years.
This hurts me so much.

The funny stuff is psg might even still lose to Dortmund and pembele that turned prime robben against us might ghost, honestly I'm not too hurt compared to the Roma and Liverpool years of pain cause I know we're gradually building an army with several components coming from lamasia, deja Vu, we'll just have to enter the market to fix some parts, probably look for a more experienced coach than Xavi, if we can't do that then it's best to let Xavi stay and finish what he's started, I don't want no Tuchel or Flick near my beautiful club
Unpopular opinion but I think we'll have to sell FDJ not because he isn't quality but cause we have to raise funds and get his wages off the books, we also have several interiors with another lamasia kid 15 year old guille Fernandez likely to make his debut before the end of this season, why I keep mentioning this boy is cause I'm excited about his potential, he's a bellingham profile but with actual control of the midfield this time which the latter sometimes struggles with, we might be mocked now but we're making progress and heading somewhere

Debroslink:


Time has proven that I was right on Xavi and Pedri especially. Can you give me a UCL game where Pedri dominated a decent team as a starter? No be to dey recycle side way passes to full backs. How old is Warren Zaïre-Emery that dominated him yesterday?

Yes, I mentioned Yamal because we need to pipe down on the hype. Jury's still out on him because he's 16,but he hasn't done anything special. And please, don't mention La liga games because it isn't competitive.

What aspect of xavi do you think I'm talking about? I'm talking about his playing days with you constantly maligning him as a player claiming iniesta carried him when they actually complemented each other, a fan like you trying his hardest to bring down one of his legends cause of agenda
You were praising Pedri for his assist last week so I'm not surprised you've quickly changed, you'll tell how Zaire emery was dominating him before the red card
Yamal created your only goal yesterday almost on his one sef leaving the brilliant Nuno Mendes in the dust before squaring it up for Raphinha, it was also his intended pass to lewa in the first leg that caused the first goal, Can you tell me why there was outrage at xavi removing him instead of lewa yesterday? That's because he's your most talented player and the one most likely to lead this club into an era of greatness, I've followed that kind from the youth ranks just like ansu and I'll boldly tell you even in the midst of mocking that only career threatening injuries like ansu's would stop that kid from being a goat level player, someone that hasn't even matured physically to get pace and power to match up with his opponents and deliver his main tool: goalscoring
When yamal was scoring goals for Spain it was because of laliga
When yamal messed Brazil up having a hand in all Spain's three goals that he had a standing ovation in bernabeu, it was because of laliga
When goal NxGen50 tagged him the talented youth this year, it was because of laliga, someone that has two assists this season in the UCL, I'll just advise you to stop being overly emotional and don't allow them to be carried where the wind blows

OhBritannia:
Even If Aruajo had left him, there is no guarantee that he might score.

It was was still a 50/50 situation. Let us say the truth, Aruajo made a silly error.
He wasn't thinking at all, because this isn't in the 80th minutes or 70th minutes, this was half way through first half for crying out loud.
Man is a great defender but he forked up real bad.

And xavi shouldn't have removed yamal, with a red card, a player like yamal with massive pace has the ability to hurt them on a counter and then make them commit which might possibly give them a red card.

I am proud of the team, we gave it our all but Aruajo and xavi caused us the game.
Yamal should have been left on the pitch.

He should have done better, once you don late you don late my brother just let him go, barcola might score but we'll still have a goal advantage, well that's gone now
Apart from the crucial decision on who our next coach will be cause I'm hearing names like Marquez and Thiago Motta, laporta has to hustle hard like someone said for us to be active in the market
A technical and strong CDM, none of those onana links, he can't pass to save his life and an electric LW, see how barcola got pI$$g the win today and I hope we can somehow get an agreement for Estevao willian, those are the kind of players that'll make you stand among the elite in the future, I don't care if he plays the same wing with yamal we should try our utmost best to get him, then we supplement whatever we have with lamasia who has always helped us

Debroslink:
Yamal this, Lamine that. Na so we hype Ansu. All these mid players.

We're lucky to always participate in UCL because of our weak league.

See what I'm saying, scapegoats are already being picked Yamal that gave Raphinha the assist for our goal and was subbed out instead of being left behind is the mjd player, probably your most talented player that the same pI$$g that beat us tried to get to replace mbappe, need I remind you he's only 16? na so you start with xavi, later Pedri this time it's yamal, tomorrow'll be probably Cubarsi

oliverano:




He's world class and better than Marquez, Motta and Xavi...

His team is currently down but they played well against a strong arsenal team. He has played the UCL final twice winning it once. They may even make it to the semis this season too.

The UCL is where you know great coaches. Nobody will be talking about Anceloti alongside Pep if he didn't have a good record in that competition. We need a world class coach tailor made for UCL nights. I wouldn't mind a good UCL keeper too.

We need that!

Tuchel should stay far away from my club abeg, infact I prefer xavi stay than the one who has turned Bayern to a shadow of itself with the caliber of players they have compared to us, Nagelsmann Bayern won't be playing on the counter like they did against arsenal last week, Tuchel did well in 2021 but once his 3 atb tactics were figured out he never made the UCL semis anymore, lots of people are tipping arsenal to knock them out tomorrow, could they try that with the previous Bayern renditions
Also I see no fault in ter stegen with his performance yesterday, it's not him that told araujo to get a red card thereby leading us to face more shots on goal, see that Mbappe's second goal, man saved the ball back to back only for kounde to still pass it to mbappe when we were clearly looking for an equalizer
I know say all of us dey vex but make we try calm down

Many variables contributed to our elimination tonight, araujo's moment of madness, removing yamal instead of Lewandowski or one of the midfielders, xavi's sending off when he was needed to hold the team together, some of the referee's calls towards us no DM and most importantly our psyche when we were a man down, we already had a two goal advantage, at least make these cats work for it before they erase it and I don't know what cancelo was thinking when he lunged at dembele, too many errors muddled up into one
But with that being said I'm still proud of my team, we were one of the least spenders in this UCL and were holding our own against an oil backed team before the red card, didn't expect to reach the quarters this season but we did and have much to look forward to in the future with the likes of yamal, Cubarsi, guille Fernandez who'll probably make his first team debut this year and the return of gavi and balde, Chai gavi, this was the kind of match that suited him, We move and look forward to what the future holds for our dear club, No matter what happens the only day I'll leave Barça is the day I die
Visca El Barça, Visca El Catalunya 💙♥️

Unpopular Opinion
Since Lewandoski has one year left before he leaves and Roque doesn't seem enough to fill those boots..what do y'all think about Watkins?..cos like this strikers no dey for Marketoo

We no get money for Watkins plus roque might be far better than him at his age, no dey use that cadiz match judge am, even lewa for suffer for that game with the few chances created, he had only one shot I think, he also lacks rhythm from sitting on the bench Wella, only Brazilian teenage striker that is better than him atm is endrick, make media no use mouth kill our future 9's career before he start

I won't watch the game tonight cause of some commitments, so I'll either come back to see us by midnight either qualified or eliminated hopefully it'll be the former
The boys should be ready to give it their all, we haven't been in the UCL semis since 2019 and tonight our enemies both from the capital and their EPL/bayern asslickers would be ever willing to unleash hell on earth since they couldn't do that in the first leg and made them switch to excuses on why pI$$g lost
We need to fight and give our all since there's a decent chance for us to make the final if we go through, It all comes down to this
P*ta pI$$g 🔵🔴

Ibime:
Fernandinho last 2 seasons as starting DM - 100 points and 98 points

The difference is clear

All these 80+ points City is scoring these days does not cut it

Fernandinho is the reason they call Liverpool "97 points, no title"

Fernandinho as starting DM, no UCL, no treble
Infact rodri is one of the leading candidates for player of the season if city see out the league

jpmoriarti:
Fermin that will be looking to where he can shoot. We need control and intelligence. Pedri never loses possession. He has to start the game. Weather the early storm from PSG with intelligence and look to create.

Or maybe, we can play with 4 midfielders while Lamine Yamal sits on the bench.

We only only four senior midfielders that are fit at the moment so we can't take that risk
From what I'm seeing online we might likely play with a 4-2-3-1 with Gundo playing close to the trio while Pedri and FDJ form the double pivot, Pedri can actually hold his own defensively with that his slender frame it's probably the re occuring injuries that's making him go with caution so he'll not have a relaspe, it's mostly FDJ I'm worried about cause he's tended to ball watch several times despite his big frame, xavi might also do a madness and put Cubarsi or Inigo as the DM
Anyways we need to exploit the spaces that'll be left behind as pi$$g come out to attack from the most minute, hakimi is back so he and Nuno Mendes will mostly be camped in our box with their attacking trio so that's another double defensive responsibility for Raphinha and yamal, for every strong team they'll always be a weakness and that one is their defence and anytime donarumma doesn't decide to be otherworldly, long balls and key passes from our technically gifted midfield have to be utilized swiftly, if they score we have to score too

We can say what we want about Xavi especially tactically but this guy has surely improved our intensity for sure, 35 years old Lewandowski even ran the most on Wednesday

brandon180:

Xavi won't even try it. I don't trust that midfield of gundo, fermin and fdj.
Fermin to be specific, baba fit ghost that day.

We need some sort of defensive stability in that middle especially as we'll be getting waves after waves of attack but if Xavi goes with the expected midfield we have no choice but to hope they give their best since all of them are press resistant and can find a pass, na just the flashbacks of the Villarreal and girona games dey worry me

andrewbaba44:


Na fermin go come offer protection ? The worst out of them all 🤣🤣🤣

He's a better in pressing and tracking back than the remaining three, we can't just leave the defensive responsibilities to the backline and MATS especially when that werey lucho will instruct his boys to attack us from the start, na only one goal advantage we get na chief

Tbh I don't care about this coming El classico, infact to me vardrid has already won the league and we'll most likely lose at the bernabeu, my mind just dey on that UCL second leg tie, if we qualify we can plot how we'll try to make it to the final if we go out our season is ended cause those cele boys ain't gonna drop points foolishly

Colson:
lol. Pedri on the bench for fermin? Change your dealer bruv.

Calma, a Gundo Pedri FDJ trio offers almost no protection defensively at least fermin can press and run back to chase balls compared to Pedri, we no get one single CDM for next week's time except if you're counting Romeo too,, go back to the Villarreal and girona games to see my point

brandon180:
Can we terminate romeu's contract tonight? 😂

I fit cry if I see this guy come in against pi$$g for Tuesday, can't believe a lamasia midfield graduate can be so bad with the ball
Gundogan Fermin FDJ should be our midfield in the second leg, Pedri can come in the second half

That ter stegen save mad

oliverano:


He'll miss it. Romeo time it is....

God forbid bad thing, I'll rather play with a less intensive midfield of Pedri, Gundo and FDJ than have romeo dashes the ball back when pI$$g press, it looks like we'll have to outscore them again cause I believe mbappe and pembele would bring all the smoke, muani or Ramos would also likely start ahead of asensio

udatso:

Andrewbaba44 jpmoriarti make una give me my flowers

You do well, let's just hope we finish up the game in the second leg this one wey Roberto and Christensen no dey, I'm so happy

Omo what a comeback, I can now talk among my friends about my team in big European nights
Hopefully the second leg will be better
Sempre Barça Sempre 💙♥️

Omo what a comeback
Sempre Barça Sempre 💙♥️

ThierryJay:


He took one for us there. Correct guy

Really correct guy, is he going to miss the second leg with this yellow card he has??

ThierryJay:
Dembouz God punish you seh

Where did you put all this gra gra vs Bayern?

That guy na bloody bastard
E go hear am for montjuic, make we just try finish this game fess

No chop goal again abeg, Chris you get mouth

ThierryJay:


Pedri brought them back.

Smooth operator, I hope we can still nick one more goal or at worst take a draw back to Catalonia, this barcola dembele combo is very troublesome

I need Fermin in this game to waya waya this donaruma with shot, our Mctominay

Debroslink:
Pedri, I see this one wella

You don dey believe?

Raphinnnha, dia papa

ThierryJay:
We need to come out of the dressing room and actually attend this second half.

We've been completely different from the first half

Make Fermin or roque start to dey shake body we need goals in this game to combat this turnaround

2-1 sharp, Omo
