But he's your best coach since Enrique. Once him win ucl, some will rate him even higher than Enrique. His offense: benching Balde 😆

I don't think he's winning the UCL

I hope so too.

You be real barca fan.

Goalzooo Joao Cancelo!!!

What a shot from outside the box

So so happy we are getting from all players. Xavi Espart scored last week and now Joao Felix shoots from outside the box.

Very happy with the start Adeyemi has had for us. He is a very dangerous player in that LW and defenders can do well not to ignore him. And this frees up Lamine Yamal.

What a miss from Adeyemi. Should be the 2nd goal. He decided to chip the goalkeeper and it was narrowly wide.

Penalty!

A bad tackle on Raphinha and the captain steps up and cooly tucks it away, sending the keeper the other way.

2 - 0

But despite being two goals up and controlling the game in all angle, I can't shake off the feeling that we've been wasteful in attack. Taking too much touch and generally not being decisive.

2 - 1 from Racing as the player danced through our defence, with our defenders who stood there bemused , watching him. I don't understand how he could be allowed such freedom.

Racing now growing into the game while we're suddenly looking shaky and unsure

Ohh Cancelo with another goalzooooooooo!!

3 - 1

Very good!!

Our first good attacking performance that ended in goal

4 - 1

Raphinha with his 2nd. Nice assist from Olmo.

8 goals for the Brazilian

Penalty

Yamal missed

Lamine Yamal misses the penalty.

Very poorly taken. Easily parried away by the goalkeeper.

Time for Yamal to sulk the whole game. Luckily barca already have a comfortable lead lol.

He's already sulking and missing passes. He now lunged into a challenge and got himself booked.

It was predictable. He may be sent off for a second yellow if he doesn't score soon enough. He'll try meaningless dribbles and give the ball away time after time.

Flick should take him off to avoid red.

Raphinha will advise and encourage him like he always does. Let's not forget he's still only 19 years and these behaviours are not unexpected from a teenager

Nice game so far. Why did Raphinha leave the second penalty for Yamal. Yamal is a poor penalty taker.

Yeah, I'm aware of his age.

This is what competition bring. See 32 year old Cancelo balling.
Him with Adeyemi na the two best players on the pitch today

Yeah Lamine doesn't shoot penalty very well. He relies on dummies and hoping to deceive the goal keeper. But goalkeeper Agirrezabala was not fooled by his tricks.

Such an amazing fan

I am glad Raphinha handed him the penalty to take, even though he was chasing a hatrick himself. I just love seeing this sort of selflessness from the squad.

Good game. Fluid game. Defence still suspect.
Racing also play a tight game too.... Their attackers and midfielders are good too and can also cause problems. Our attacking quality and midfield profiles are just too overwhelming, that's why the scoreline might be flattery.

Adeyemi, Cancelo, Raphinha has been great to watch.
Olmo has been okay too.

Exactly. Our attacking and midfield quality is what makes every game look like a walk in the park in the league.
Fermin and Gordon are also waiting to be unleashed
But this defence needs sorting.

It's nice to watch. Especially Raphinha being the Captain. Improves camaraderie.

Raphinha should be taking all the pk. He's better in penalty than Yamal. Besides, he is competing for pichichi. We don't need useless giveaway

I dey tell you.... That Fermin and Gordon, prime runners still dey bench to feast when the Racing defenders tire out, especially that guy that caused two penalties. Dem go too target am.

We must sign a quality LCB this January. I no see excuse wey Deco go get that time.
E be like say na Balde go be the scapegoat to push out, cos I no understand that logic of saying a defender must leave before they sign someone else. I just feel they ain't too motivated to get one or unsure.

We can manage this defence till January when the business end of the season kicks off.
