A reprieve for Gerard Martin there, who got his red card rescinded because he kicked the ball first.

A very lucky boy, he is.

Tico can still win this game. That left wing plus Cancelo LB should be exploited more.

Goal ball

Lamine has been quite poor today

Gooooooooallllll. Lewaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Great dribble from Cancelo but he should have passed instead of shooting.

Cancelo is 100 times a better left winger than Rashford. Why is Flick not trying him there bue that Raphinha is out.

Where are the Cancello is doing it against Levante FC.. He can't do it against top team

A very hugely important victory tonight 👏

AirBere:

Massive three points in the bag.

We really need to up our game on Wednesday. The only advantage we have now is athletico players being stressed than ours but if they come with full intensity, we might lose the first leg of UCL.

Tonight's so sweet.

jpmoriarti:
I like this red card they got because it'll stress them more ahead of our meeting on Wednesday.

It won't affect Wednesday

Agba baller

Without weakling Dejong, barca have won every game. Good thing he's back soon

AirBere:

Rashford about to drop an absolute stinker. 💯


Goal ball joor

With Raphinha out, I expect them to also knock barca out in UCL. Like I said even when Rashford was deceiving SOME people with nonsense G/A , he remains a needless signing.


Despite the goal, he's been poor

How can G/A be "nonsense" for a foward?

Isn't it better to highlight areas of his game that need improvement?

I know why i wrote that for Rashford but will not do that for players like Raphinha, Semenyo, Mbuemo, etc. You must provide G/A and show efforts.

His flaws are pretty evident and you probably know him more than I do. Rashford is negative for any progressive team. Its why he'll likely return to Manchester united just like Sancho. If he was actually performing at his age, he'll be the face of Manchester united or play for barca but not on loan.

There are too many flaws in his game for years now. Blessed with insane pace and pawa but an extremely weak dribbler(kick and run), runs into traffic, doesn't support the LB, doesn't press, even is off the ball movement is poor.

Like Sancho, I'll never want his type near my team.

7 points clear…..
That feeling.

After Real Madrid and Real betis, we should be good this season with just 8 games to go.

Yes Chelsea has the best players in the world in each position, yet they're out of UCL after 8 - 2 thrashing by PSG, not sure of qualifying for UCL next season and all their best players want to play at a better club.

You focus too much on Barcelona and our players and you end up contradicting yourself with your spooky analysis. I know you'll call it cruise 😐

All our players have defects and sooner or later, we'd be exposed. That's always your line.

But we're 7 pionts clear at the top. Will play in the Quarter finals of UCL and we'd definitely play UCL football next season.

Please don't go there.
We are no longer in Xavi era. Don't drag us backwards.
Cancelo did not play as LW in both Man City and Bayern.

Techu:
Cancelo as a left winger, what do you guys say ?

NO!!!

We are not in Xavi era.

Techu:
I think cancelo will do well there, flick should try him out.

He and Rashford can man that wing seeing he is more creative while Balde as left back.

I pray flick thinks of this and try it out.

Whether Raphinha is present, Atletico cannot beat us.

Thank God Flick isn't you.

Bimmarlykay:
If Flick can't see it, then am sorry for him.

Cancelo is better than anyone in that LwF currently.

Good thing Flick is our coach and you're just a random on Nairaland.

They rested almost all their starters. We are the ones stressed.

But i don't think it makes a big difference.

For some reason people somehow think professional footballers cannot play two matches in 4 days...which is entirely false

Who is this one ?

We shouldn't allow this get into our heads.


Champions League is much more important, Although I see us winning on Wednesday whether they like it or not.

But the second tie at their home, nah they will give their all.

I still have to celebrate this little win because I don’t see Madrid catching up unless we lose focus or fatigue kicks in. If the boys stay locked in, the next 8 games look solid, with the exception of the Madrid and Betis fixtures. Flick definitely has the tactical depth to handle the rest.

Regarding the Atletico Madrid clash, it’s going to be a war. They rested their heavy hitters in the last game—I didn’t even see Jan Oblak, and they fielded mostly debutants besides Griezmann. They’ll be coming with their "A" game against us. Good to see Kounde back; his presence should help Yamal find his rhythm again. Sad about Raphinha being out, though, he’s a much bigger threat and a better player than Rashford any day. Since we’re hosting the first leg, I’m expecting nothing but a masterclass from the boys.

Person go talk A, jp will talk B.

From day 1 I said Rashford will not shine bright in laliga, I've maintained that with Dejong on the pitch, no ucl. Zero contradictions.

I'm responsible for anything I post on nairaland bro. Cruise or not I actually dont give a sh!!t. And...I don't contradict. I say things and stay with them unless there's a need to adjust my views lol.

When my guy andrew, okpa and others dey come our thread come troll Chelsea, Hazard, Enzo and co you dey hold them?

Xavi won't even consider it. Lol

Ferran should play LWF with Lewandoski as the CF. He has the positioning but just lacks finishing. He’ll perform better as winger than striker IMO.
