Media manipulations against Lamine Yamal in Spain, is going to be fierce and intense. Isn't it?

Notwithstanding that he is a Spanish international, yet the divisive media and the fractured political climate in Spain offers him no protection whatsoever as the biggest football star in Spain.

And worse, he is plays for FC Barcelona not Real Madrid.

Today, another lie was manufactured that he was late for a briefing/training before the PSG game but Deco and co pressured the coach to play from the start. Of course, Hansi Flick quashed the rumours forcefully but it goes to show what Lamine Yamal is going to face as long as he is a top star for FC Barcelona.

He will get no protection from the corrupt Spanish media. They will roast him alive if they get any slightest opportunity. I am sure he'll be well advised to keep a low profile and focus on his football career at Barcelona and block out all the noise.

He has to look to see how Messi navigated that stormy waters of the Spanish Florentino's media puppets and never look to feed to their propaganda machine because all the media house in Spain are under the employ of a certain Florentino Perez. They will show him no mercy if they ever get the chance.

And if there is nothing for them to sink their teeth on, they're more than happy to manufacture lies especially as we get near the el-classico.

Hansi Flick faces a huge attacking dilemma tomorrow: four of last season’s top five scorers; Lewandowski, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Dani Olmo, are all unavailable vs Girona.

Only Rashford is our fully fit forward. This kind of injury crisis is unprecedented at this club.

Balde might play lwf?
Raphina and rashford your time's up..

We can't even maintain a lead.


The boys are playing well though.

Eric Garcia overlaps too much.. it's bad for a centre back

See Girona slicing through us like cake. It just takes 2 or 3 passes and we're opened up.

They created excellent chances and could have been leading. Same thing against Sevilla.

Shocking defensive performances from our players. If we try this nonsense against Real Madrid, they will show us no mercy.

Seems we have a bad history with that particular ref😀

Any counter Attacking team now will easily overrun our highline.

He should allow Yamal to play full match o.

Flick my man. I wanted you at Chelsea but you're free to spend the rest of your career at Barca lol. No adaptation at all.

See the number of chances Girona had in the first half. It's not surprising that a half decent team like Sevilla thrased them 4:1. Same Sevilla got owned today at home by a very poor Mallorca team.

Na why I tell Una say the issue isn't personnel but tactics. If you like pair prime Maldini and Puyol nothing is gonna change in defence. Una better play like this against Chelsea.

I'll be so disappointed in Alonso if them no thrash Una

Real Madrid is going to destroy us on the counter if nothing changes between now and next week.

It is shocking how exposed we have been in several matches now.

Na nonsense we just dey play for here since ...

I can’t believe what I just watched and kept wondering if that’s the Barça I know. It just reminded of the last Europa they played. Lack of zeal and enthusiasm. I really miss raphina.

A hard fought win.

Thank you Araujo 😊

Gracias araujo, I don dey prepare to reach for my remote off the tv

Na God save Una today with the rubbish wey Una play.....

Na Araujo Una dey use as striker now.
Girona is 20th for a reason

It paid off shey.

With so many attackers missing from this match, we really fought to the end for these 3 pionts.

Never take these for granted.

And he scored the winner. So who cares?

You no see as girona block everywhere, gazzaniga wey dey dash opponents goals turned to courtois today though it has to be said this performance is a bad way to approach El clasico with you guys in form and seeking for revenge

I've honestly prepared for us losing that match both by hook or crook, let's just hope getafe makes them drop points tomorrow

You see we need aggressive players in our team.

Raphinha, Araujo, Fermin and Gavi.

Every player is important.

Aggression and Pressing is needed for highline to work.

We played well bro, all way round.

And he delivered and secured 3 points for his team.

Alonso should be questioned if he doesn't at least beat this Barca at Santiago. I expect a 4:2 victory for Madrid but anything but a win will be very poor. Even if nah 1nil win.

I missed Ferran Torres in this match though...

By next week everything should return to normal.

Only Olmo and Leawandowski are serious injuries.

I need Raphinha Back ASAP.

That Araujo's goal just got him two more years at Barca FFS.😤😤

It's very good that we'll be going into the El-classico next week with a chance to go up the table with a win.
We've been winning alot at the Santiago Bernebau. We won 4 - 0 there last season.

I don't know what the coach needs to change, so we can play much better than we have been doing. But we're not pressing well and we lose lots of balls in the midfield, leading to opponents having clear chances.

Pedri carelessly lost 2 balls and Kounde as well. Girona created 3 fantastic chances from these and should have scored at least one. Real Madrid will not forgive such carelessness.

Flick won't be on the touchline Vs Madrid. Alonso should be sacked if he doesn't get the 3points. Even if nah narrow win 😴

Hmmm!

We were very fortunate with injuries last season and it hid how thin our squad really was. And the board didn't improve the squad at the summer windows. Now, we're just in October and the players are knackered.

7 injuries to first team players, is unprecedented and it's showing from lack of quality and consistency in the play.
