Barca don buy ref nah ... Tifffs

Why did the ref blow his whistle with seconds remaining.

Barcelona have el classico at the weekend. No rest at all.

rooftops:
This thuram no be am at all. Just jogging round the field. I won't even call that jogging, he is strolling.

Strolling is even generous.

swiz123:
If you remotely think that’s a penalty then you need glasses. The boy clearly kicked the ball towards that direction and with enough impact on the ball.

He made zero contact with the ball.

One goal from Barcelona and it's game on. It's not yet over. Inzaghi should take out Di Marco for Augusto. He is getting cooked by Yamal

Rent boys be giving us our guard of honor today ..


You fans here should follow suit ..


I need my guard of honor ..



😋😋😋😋

Give us 3 points and you can even have the fans Join the guard of honor.

semid4lyfe:
I envy you.

How do I block airmark and his wahala?

Inzaghi resting that amount of players is risky. Lose today and the league is done.

chrisley024:
so what happens now

Well it ended badly. 3 straight lose on the horizon for them.

andrewbaba44:
Psg Dey rest almost the full squad

Arteta Dey use full squad ,Abi shey arsenal no go make top 5 ?

Winning this game would boost their confidence ahead of Wednesday night.

It's funny how one season can change a coach reputation. Last season Ancelotti was the cream of the crop now he is outdated. No one was hyped about Enrique last season now he is the media darling. Amorim was highly rated before the season started and even up till November now some fans at United want him sacked. If Arteta wins the champions league he becomes a great coach and no longer a nearly man. If Barca flops next season same people praising Flick will turn on him

AirBere:
Lol, very good. Now you get it. It's true legendary coaches lose home and away too.


Whole point is that I always side towards top coaches with a mixture of class players. So it's all clear now abi 😔

Yes chief we are good .

AirBere:
Lol, it seems you're not getting my point though so I'll soon relax. I'm saying having a good coach mixed with world class players is better than having more world class players with an average coach. Klopp won 1 league title in 9 years yet if Xavi were to win Laliga 3 times in a row, go to Bundesliga and win 2 in a row, nobody will say he's better than Klopp. In fact, some Liverpool fans will still tell you that they prefer Klopp despite Slot winning the league so comfortably

My whole point is that I always lean towards having top coaches instead of more world class players. Barca is where they are today because of Flick. May be next season Alonso will dominate and take Madrid to the top again.

It's not about what Xavi did or didn't do. It's about siding with better coaches with elite mentality. We have a coach who said Chelsea were not in the title race when they were in fact in it. Those are the things I'm against.

Take Flick to Madrid and Arsenal isbt beating them home and away with a 5:1 agg score line.

I'm saying that "COACH" is always very key 🗝️

Of course a good coach is important. There are also other factors to consider when comparing a current coach to their predecessor. You mentioned Xavi and said they are here because of Flick without adding context. That was the issue I had with your post. It's like calling Klopp a poor coach for not winning the League last season because slot did it this season. Why are you not criticizing Klopp for failing to win the league last season with the same squad?


Lol legendary coaches have been beaten home and away. Pep was beaten home and away by Bayern 5:0, The same Enrique was beaten home and away last season by Dortmund.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
At the bolded, here you have it. Very poor mentality to have as a coach. No wonder he lost 3️⃣ straight classico last season. Was knocked out by Frankfurt at home in the Europa League. Mid table Manure also in Europa League. The only addition in this team is Olmo. All these players were under forming under Xavi maybe except Dembouz.

You have Araujo and Marc winning man of the match award everyday

Post the full article. How does pointing out Barca won't be able to compete with Madrid and other European clubs financially a bad mentality . Is your club not broke?

AirBere:
Both teams started the season pretty good though. Mbape started the season with two trophies so football was actually kicked.

What's your point bro? Lemme clarify myself to avoid confusions. I'm saying I'll always prefer a better coach mixed with 6 or 7 top class players than having 11 world class players.

Flick is the difference for Barca same with PSG with Enrique. Without Flick or another top class coach, nobody will be talking about Barca this season. Just like last season where nobody took them seriously. That's my whole point. Their squad is okay but not better than Madrid's.

I think you're actually making my own point. If Madrid had a better coach, they'll be playing better and keeping up with expectations.

The point is Madrid dropped off from last season . The Madrid Xavi went head to head with last season is not the same Flick is going head to head with. Their performance this season has been terrible compared to last. Maybe Complacency from winning the league and champions league. Xavi might have still won the league if he went head to head with this current Madrid.


You are not recognizing the circumstances surrounding the issue instead you are going at it one way. If a coach finishes 2nd with 91points losing to a rival with 95points, then gets sacked and a new coach comes in the next season and wins the league with 85points while their rival with 80points. Did the sacked coach perform poorly or lesser than the current coach?

AirBere:
Hindsight is 20/20 for the emboldened. At the start of the season, pundits had Madrid as UCL favourites along with City. They were also tipped to win Laliga by a landslide after the addition of Mbape.

On Xavi, he's not a terrible coach we know. I mean he won the league just two years ago but he's not Flick or Enrique level. He's not a world class coach. In the season Barca won the league, Barca was sent to the Europa. Enrique or Flick is not playing Europa with that squad, no way. Even in the Europa, they got knocked out by a Manchester United team that lost to relegation threatened Sevilla in the quarters.

The point I'm trying to make is this, coach is a very important aspect of football, I'll prefer a better coach than 11 world class players on each position. Give me 6 or 7 world class players with a better coach like prime Pep and I'll be very comfortable with the chances of my team.

The same squad people complained week in week out under Lampard, Tuchel took it and won UCL. Koeman had Barca in 14th position, Xavi came mid season and took same team to 2nd. Wolves, Everton, same. This season, Valencia were on the verge of getting relegated, the new coach came in and they're now somewhat safe. May be new manager bounce but there's Amorin who took united from top to bottomless pit.

Coach is very key in my opinion.

At the start of the season no ball has been kicked so it was all prediction going by their last season performance. I am talking about Performance of Madrid this season compared to last. Barca current performance has been helped by the inconsistency of Madrid and their drop of form. If Madrid was on top form and leading the table no one will be praising Flick. When Madrid was 10points clear at the table in December the same Barca fans turned on Flick.

AirBere:
Valid points but coach is really key TBH. The same Barca squad that Xavi said won't be able to compete with Madrid/UCL and was demanding for a DM up and down is the same team that people are now raving about. This statement, according to marca got Xavi sacked.

The only notable addition to the squad is Olmo who's been like NEPA in terms of injuries. Lewy will be 37 in some months. Same squad, different coaches, different mentality, different results.

I feel Chelsea under Flick or Enrique would've been playing at a higher level. I mean the squad is good enough for at least a top 4/top 3 place.

To be fair Xavi also faced a better Madrid that was performing at a higher level than this current team. Madrid last season had 95points, the highest Barca can reach this season is 91 assuming they win all their remaining games. Barca would have likely gone to the champions league final last season as well without the red card against Psg. They would have definitely beaten Dortmund over two legs. So it's not like Xavi was terrible with the same set of players plus Yamal and Pedri are older and more matured.

Our defence dey more compact than this inter own ..

Imagine say na PSG Barca dey play like this with that kind space for back with doue, kvara, dembele and barcola with that their crazy midfield ..


Barca for don go house

Your defense is definitely not more compact than inter. We saw your defense against Psg and it was destroyed.


I agree with the rest of your post tho. Psg will have a field day with Barcelona.

Brilliant game and result for Inter. For all of Barca attacking hype they only created One clear cut chance.

Singapore1:
Haba this same match we are all watching? I don't fault them, everyone plays to their strength, i just don't find it entertaining, I want barcelona PSG final

They are not playing a ridiculous high line like Barcelona but they are definitely not playing a low block. You don't find this game entertaining?

Singapore1:
I just hate team with low block. I want Barcelona to win this match-up. Yamal deserves the BalloonDor

Inter are not even playing a low block.

DeeScan:
Omoh .. Psg vs Barca final would be so fun to watch ..


I thought someone said inter was a very discipline team .. this wan wey I dey see fit collect wotowoto for Barca hand oo ..


If na Barca Liverpool face Sha , we for qualify ..

Dem too dey dey leave space for back .. That's an advantage for counter which has been utilize by Liverpool alot this season ...

Liverpool is not beating any of Psg or Barca. That's just the fact.

AirBere:
A younger Yamal had Nuno Mendes on toast last season. In fact it was his dribbling that led to Raphina's goal last season against PSG. Yamal is generational.

Yamal is extraordinary, but he's having a cakewalk so far. Mkhi and Dimarco has been terrible. Two against one and they have been clueless.

I feel Di Marco has just been horrible.

diggz:
You are guilty of always going off point.

As a matter of fact, it’s extremely difficult to have a proper conversation with someone like you, who basically lacks experience or knowledge on most things but still tries to make silly points or claims. This is how you started chatting nonsense a few months ago about Burna, the UK entertainment industry, and other artists.

To be honest, your takes on anything aside from football are usually rubbish, especially when it comes to the rainbow colours and wokeness. By the way, no one is saying you shouldn’t be part of that community or support what it represents. Na your business be that! What we’re saying is that we want to return to football and sports matters without any agenda from your people.

Two paragraphs of nothing tangible. You can stick to the Nigeria league were you won't see anything woke. Football is not only played in Europe. Win win for you.

diggz:
Which law? Abeg rest! All wokeness should vanish from sports/football space.

Underage participating in betting and alcohol
is literally against the law. Then stick to the Nigeria league and be free from the so called wokeness.

iamoyindamola:
Not by force to wear the lgtafvjhjfdghh armband, I think it started this year when guehi mutilated the band 🤣🤣
There are some stupid laws in that epl that expose the hypocrisy of England
17 yo Leicester youngster made his debut recently but his jersey didn't carry sponsorship, I read the reason is because the boy is underage, and betting or alcohol is also not for under 18
But the likes of demba ba or some people that don't feel comfortable with advertising betting or alcohol on their shirt were forced to wear it

You are comparing apples to pineapples. One is breaking the law and the other isn't. In what universe is Underage and feeling comfortable/not comfortable the same thing. So if a player says I am a Christian and I don't work on Sundays so I won't play today the club should grant his request because he is not comfortable.

andrewbaba44:
The game is still 50/50 going to the second leg

Psg should blame themselves for not scoring 2-0

How exactly is it 50/50? Psg already have one foot and 4 toes into the final. Arsenal will have to attack and that's going to end badly for them with the pace of Psg attack. They had to win at home to have any chance going to France and they lost.

Kimbeast:
Yh you are right. Arsenal will pose a bigger threat to Psg than Liverpool. They are more organized and better defensively. Psg still has enough to beat them over two legs tho. First leg at Emirates will be key. If Arsenal wins then it's over.

Didn't expect Enzo to be there.

A gorilla has more than 3 times the bone density of a human to start with, if you punch am for head na your bone go break.

If you try strangle am, your hand can't fit round it's neck and if it could, just pressing his chin on your arm would break it.

His bite force is 1,200 PSI, almost double that of a lion, any bone or head he bites is chicken bone to him

So you are left with tickling his balls, but in the voice of Aesop, WHO WILL BELL THE CAT?

Bone density doesn't prevent it's skin from feeling pain especially when being Stomped. Every animal has weak spots in it's body. If the men could get it to fall on it's back and continue stomping it's nose and ear it will be incapacitated. His private part is another soft region they could target and kick till it bleeds out. It's breast part is another weak region. It's just about coordination and team work.
