Flick tax. Let Mbape play under Flick and take Ferran to go play under Alonso or Arbeloa lol.

Reality doesn't always work out the way you all envisage it. And y'all never learn. Everything looks good on paper until it is time to show it.

That's how they told us that as soon as Mbappe joins Real Madrid, he's going to win all trophies there is and Barcelona and Europe better be prepared and be scared 😁😉

Realistically speaking, there's no evidence that Mbappe is going to flourish under Hansi Flick. Can he press like Flick's team? Can he defend? Can he create space for others by drawing away defenders? Can he help to protect the infamous highline?

Hansi Flick builds a team where all players flourish. Not one where only a single player selfishly benefits. We have 6 players who has scored more than 10 goals already this season.

No European team boasts of such equal sharing of responsibilities.

Yes Hansi Flick team generates lots of goalscoring opportunities but it takes lots of hardwork, discpline and selflessness to get to that point. These are virtues which Mbappe can never have and that's the reason Real Madrid look like a joke now, even with all the superstar players they have in all positions.

Too much shalaye!!!

I have nothing against Ferran but Mabpe will outscore Ferran if he was playing under Flick or Eric Chelle. He's a superior player with more sense. Lmfao.

We've seen Mabape under Jardim, Tuchel, Pochetino, Galtier, Unai Emere, Don Carlo, Alonso, Arbeloa, Deshams etc nothing changed just goals. This is the first time ever that Ferran is scoring this much yet Barca fans will prefer him as a sub not starter material.

Madrid looking like a joke is a different conversation entirely. It's like comparing apples and sharp sand. In terms of dribbling, speed, sense, putting the ball in the back of the net, them no be mate.

Gnabry was looking like a world beater under Flick, when Flick left, he returned to the Gnabry we all know. At peak level, Gnabry is even a better player than Ferran

Rest lol 😂

Definitely Mbappe is an ultimate goalscorer, much better than Ferran Torres. All things being equal, he would excel in any team that generate lots of goalscoring opportunities including Hansi Flick's. But this is in theory. Things can be very different in practise.

And people demanding that Barcelona get another striker in the level of Mbappe or Halland, I don't know if that would be possible.

Barca has signed 18 yr old Hamza Abdelkarim for the B team but he might be the one to ultimately become the main striker. So until he is ready to take up this position, we might very well see Ferran Torres and possibly Rashford as the main strikers next season. Lewandowski might even be persuaded to stay one more season.

Seems you're among those who believed that Messi will struggle in a cold wet night in Stoke city. Or that Messi can't succeed outside Iniesta, Xavi lol.

Your comment is a mixture of too much emotional ties to Ferran and some delusions.

A fit Ferran and a fit Mbabe playing for Barca won't have the same result. A fit Mabpe and a fit Ferran playing for Wolves won't have same result. Football ability matters when you're comparing players. It'll take a complete uninterested Mabpe for Feran not to be bench player if they both play for the same team and position lol.

Guy, you no dey watch Ferran? He's alright but this is a ridiculous debate. You're talking about arguably the best player in the world Vs a not so certain starter at Barca and Spain team.

Make I rest ooo lol.

Rashford as my striker ? You better be joking

I wish I was. Which striker can we realistically sign? Of course, we have to sign but who?

I don't believe we should thrust the 18 year old Egyptian we just signed into the first team duties immediately. He has to adapt so we don't make same mistake we did with Vitor Roque.

Gnabry was Bayern's player of the season in his first year. He scored 4 goals in a CL game against Spurs the following season, just before Flick took over from Kovac. He also had a decent season under Nagelsmann, after Flick left, before the injuries and loss of form.

My point is Flick didn't make Gnabry. He did help him improve but let's not make it look like Gnabry was a bum before he met Flick. The same Flick was unable to help Gnabry rediscover his form at the national team. Just saying.

The way this atletico Madrid dey sign players ehnn

E be like dem even Dey do pass epl teams

Of course he didn't....
I never said Flick made Gnabry. That would be a very reckless statement to make. It's like saying Enrique made Neymar.

But the fact is that, Gnabry had his best individual season in terms of numbers under Flick and Neymar had his best season under Luis Enrique where he was a Bdor top 3 player. His(Gnabry) stats before and after Flick is pretty average. Like Ferran, he's a good player but Flick improve their numbers.

Ferran's stats before and after Flick is very clear same with Gnabry.

Barcelona announce that they will submit an official bid to host the 2029 Champions League final at the Spotify Camp Nou. #fcblive

Yes please. And we can hold World Cup Final of 2030

Lol, you believe say RFEF go gree make Camp Nou host world cup final??

I don't think so. Politics in Spain is too deep.

But Barcelona would be ideal for hosting the final of World Cup because it's the most beautiful City in Spain and Spotify Camp Nou will be the biggest stadium in Europe at 105k capacity after completion.

It's the logical spot to host it. But Spain's politics like you said is very weird.

If it wasn't the region of Catalonia, then it was possible. But na Barcelona, capital city of the renegade independent region and the biggest rivals to the regime's club. So e go hard.

The only way I see this happening is when Spain's politics matures past General Franco's mentality.

Kounde sits on the bench today and Cancelo takes his place.... Interesting set-up. Let's see how well Yamal and Cancelo link up.

Araujo starts today. I think this is his first start since his pilgrimage.

Good pressing from Rashford and De Jong to win the ball and a sweet finish from Lamine Yamal.

Araujo has been excellent so far.

Joan Garcia made a huge mistake towards the end of the half. It was after Araujo prevented a one on one opportunity by covering a lot of ground and successfully putting himself between the attacker and the goalkeeper.

Joan Garcia then went on to check on Araujo but the crazy thing is that Araujo wasn't on the pitch and Joan had the ball in his hands, which means he walked off the pitch with the ball in his hands and that eventually led to a corner kick for Albacete.

Thankfully that mistake didn't lead to a goal.

Ahh I didn't even understood what happened 🙃 Lack of concentration from Joan Garcia there.

Cancelo offering nothing and being late on challenges. Can't defend. Can't attack. A liability 😬😬

Hopefully he doesn't make such a mistake again. It could have cost us.

I said it that he's been excellent so far and he just topped it with a goal. Ronald Araujo with a great header. 💪💪

It's assist number THIRTEEN (13) of the season for Marcus Rashford.

What a goal line clearance from Gerard Martin

Good win from the boys tonight!!! 💪😎💥

Yeah we have to make it a dramatic and chaotic end. And we must concede. Them don use conceding goal swear for us. Tuehhh

Anyways, we have handled a team Real Madrid could not handle

On to the Semis.

Perhaps, he gets so nervous when playing against big teams.

We need sharp striker. I'm tired of Ferran nonsense.

🚨 Hansi Flick: "We played 3 matches in less than 1 week. It is an incredible effort from the team."

🚨 Hansi Flick: "This match was not easy at all, especially in the last minutes. We made it hard for ourselves." "Yet again, we missed so, so many chances. We are missing so much chances in recent games and we have to improve."

❗️Hansi Flick: "Copa del Rey semi finals, Champions League top 8, 1st in La Liga... We can say that we're reaching our goals."

❗️Hansi Flick: "Cup games like this are always difficult. Albacete are a wonder story in this Copa del Rey."
"We created a lot of chances, and we missed them all again. I think we made it really more difficult for us."

❗️Hansi Flick: "I'm trying to help Ronald Araujo get more confidence, to believe in himself more, to recover his best version." "We're happy to help him, and it's a step by step process.

Hansi Flick: "We played well and we're in the finals. I think everyone can be happy with us."

Imagine missing dozens of chances against Albacete? Tueh

Na that time you go see me drag am

Even against Qarabag in a ucl knockout ,I don’t trust him ,let alone a big team

Araujo is still the most capable defender at Barca but a mental midget against UCL contenders.

You see Ferran wey I dey argue with JP lol. That guy is consistently inconsistent. Tueh
