No try critize oh just enjoy.
It's either mbedbug is the worst 1v1 of all time or inaki went full buffon

okay o

jpmoriarti:
I agree. His distributions were off but I'm sure he'll get better at it with time.

Sure. The fear of Sceszny is the beginning of getting better

FirstbornWds:
When a man's position is threatened, there's nothing he won't do to keep it.

Inaki Pena saw Schezny's talk about benching the best of Gk's in every club he went to and baba unlocked the beast inside.

Please maintain am like this and make it very hard for even MATS to just walk in and regain that no. 1 shirt

I swear. Inaki turned to prime Manuel Neuer yesterday. Although his positioning and distributions were sometimes off.

Peep that igbo smoker at the back

Yes o. An El Clasico winner without lifting a damn finger.

report reaching me now is dat gbadrid players can't leave Santiago stadium because they are still trapped offside 😭😭

Yesterday, Mbappe had more offsides than career goals

Hansi Bobo you do this one o

jpmoriarti:
See, I'm not trying to take anything away from Guardiola.

But taking down two European gaints in a space of 3 days, with a couple of 17 year olds and half of a squad who've been struggling with confidence crisis after a poor previous season, is unprecedented.

To put it in proper context, in a space of 6 days, we scored 5 against Sevilla (granted, they're no longer the force they once were), put 4 past each of Bayern and Real Madrid.

That's crazy

Flick and Pep's first season with Barca are quite similar.

Pep took a disjointed Barca team that barely came 4th in La Liga and took them on a roller coaster in his first season steamrolling teams like Bayern, Madrid, Sevilla, Atletico, Lyon along the way to win the treble, then sextuplet.

Hopefully Flick completes a similar trajectory.

Ijustwantto:
sky sports has explained why gbadrid coach was chatting with hansi flick after the match.
"Ancelotti said our assistant coach celebrated in front of their bench after we scored the fourth goal"
So, if they score in camp nou, players like vini will not celebrate in front of us. Make Carlo go teach his billion gang players offside rule🤣🤣

And Hansi Flick being the perfect gentleman apologized immediately to Carlo. He no wan rub salt into Baba's wounds

Capaldi:
The day this ridiculous offside trap fails the demolition is going to be spectacular.

We hear you. But I hope the "sensible" onside system has paid your team better than Barca this season?

abduleez1:
Hopefully this match boosts his morale. Unreal performance.

Of course it will. There were several positives for him to run with and fly subsequently.

Kilishihunter:
Inaki pena you're amazing

Man really surprised me. He singlehandedly ensured Mbappe had no joy in this game.

We asked for shot stopping, he gave us one. Hopefully, it isn't a one off.

Ijustwantto:
bro, una dey para oooo😂😂

Bruv e reach to para

I was swearing for Flick one minute then applauding the next.

Our play in the first half was borderline dangerous. It's either luck or one of the greatest coaching masterpieces for keeping high lines.

Lewy thank you so much. You are definitely world class.

Flick you almost gave me heart attack with the high line early on, but the end justifies the means so I give you kudos.

To Raphenomenon, Yamagician, Pedresistant and Sweet left Balde, I say a big thank you for the big moments of quality on display.

Cubarsi, thanks for pocketing the Madrid fraudwards

Mbappe, thunder fire you again.

Vinicius you can now go and collect your Ballon Dor in tears.

Visca El Barca!

udatso:
I think it's high time we agree that Raphinha is just good with controlling head and chest balls. He does it effortlessly

Fully aligned. He's simply a Raphenomenon.

Where's Lahda milk? Good old days when beverages bought in refill pack let alone sachet were seen as substandard.

I think it was from 1996/97 that saw the proliferation of all these sachet packages of powdered vita beverages. Every Tom dick and Harry would concoct some dark powder in their backyards and label it their name-vita e.g Bolavita, Chukuvita etc. I hated all of these products with passion.

For boarding students, Milo and Bournvita were the standard. Pronto was for the "pokulowoes" and its owners would often hide it in their locker out of shame.

Time don pass and quality standards have really crashed in Nigeria of today.

abduleez1:
I always knew we had the team and talent to perform well. We just needed an experienced man on the job who has confidence in his team.
No be person wey go dey tell press all the time "we can't compete with the best in Europe". Such defeatist mentality.
Person choke against Frankfurt, Manure and PSG the most painful of all. Very useless team na im everybody dey beat like mumu, na im Xavi no fit beat with two goals advantage. Werey still collect card dey talk rubbish.

I dey shout that time say all this excuses say dem no give am players na lamba. Who Flick buy except Olmo? The player no even dey pitch when Bayern chop all the 4 goals. What does that tell you??

That's why I always ask, which team Girona get wey beat us like people wey thief last season? Shaktar and fvvking Royal Antwerp nko?

Time has surely vindicated those concerns. Though I feel it's understandable to give one of our very own a long rope to pull in hopes that it will eventually work. But mehn, those were very dark days where no-name clubs were happy to meet us with assurance of getting something out.

I mean, Xavi got us genuinely believing our progress relied on an old Christensen that Chelsea left behind to move forward. Now, all the apprehension about his absence has disappeared. A lot of Xavi's excuses were dummies he sold to fans just because we hoped there was a streak of Pep residing in him. What a mirage!

Derumklala12:
This is literally my 1st flex since being a barca fan.
So don't mind me over selling it.

What can I say except you're welcome 😌😌😌
What can I say except you're welcome 😌🥂🥂

You don forget the grand flexing when we thrashed Madrid 4 - 0 at the Bernabeu some 3 seasons ago abi u never join Culers then..

jpmoriarti:
Barcelona have scored 43 goals in 13 games this season 👏

That's 3.3 goals per game!

Incredible 😲 😮

It's the intensity and vertical play that Hansi has brought into our team and how he has been able to unleash the confidence of players like Raphina, Casado, Kounde, the Paus, Inigo etc. These are the biggest drivers for our increased scoring rate.

Instead of boring sideway passes, our defenders now frequently make direct forward passes to bypass midfield blocks and create chances during sudden transition phases. The blessed Cubarsi is a great example of this.

A great coach makes his players believe and execute beyond themselves. Raphina's transformation has been extraordinary.

I feel like Laporta should just call Xavi and fire him again for not firing him much earlier. We didn't know we had diamonds covered in mud.

Pained Pendulums so this is how you guys now create your own happiness

Jokerman & co this is quite funny o.

I can only imagine the endless pain you guys feel nowadays so out of pity I'd just pass on this your latest buffoonery.

jpmoriarti:
Well, I actually meant it.

European football needs the best of Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United to come back to their best. I think these trio, at their peak, provided the best memories in European football.

I don't know exactly what is wrong with Manchester United but I can see Chelsea and Barcelona coming back to their best slowly but surely.

Hmm Chief, I will pretend I didnt see this.

andrewbaba44:
E get some monikers wey deserve this kind response ,but you wasted it on a clown 😁

He said we will go trophyless and you Dey explain ,when xavi win league his trolling was even worst here while his team was even 10th or so

I actually think JP was being sarcastic especially with the part about his team making them depressed so I kind of liked the response.

Sarcastic concern

Jokerman:
Madrid no dey do such ojoro

You say whaaat?

Jokerman:
Ojoro no dey tire Una..

Which kind penalty be that?

The kind that gave Mbappe 5 out of his 6 goals.

Pedri mapa mi nau

What was that!

OJEEMAH:
😂😂

At the mention of his name, every knee must bow and confess that La Pulga Atomica is not just the greatest to ever kick the round leather game but he is the God of football.

Shey you no hear say yellow and blue don cancel training to commiserate one of their players. The punch from marca don break him joint🤩🤩

I no doubt am cos Alhaji wey petty enough to respond to Cassano leaving him out of top 5 greatest players. The old bitterleaf went to google Cassano's trophies and texted him his supposedly meagre record.

Wailing go plenty for their camp tonight over this betrayal from a renowned Madrid tabloid. Im sure Marca management go don dey collect gbasgbos from his proxies.

His family must also mourn with him mandatorily but I don't trust that his son Cristiano jnr sha cos that one looks like a closet Messi fan.

Mrchippychappy:


Spanish media no dey tire for dis messi v cr7 thing? It's been almost 20 yrs now. Football existed before both of them and would continue existing after them.

Abeg Spanish Football should join us in the present, right now it seems like they are stuck in 2011-2014, reminiscing of the old glory days

A Spanish team has won 2 out of the last 3 UCLs. The protagonist of Spanish football revival from 16 years ago is the one ruling English football now like a fiefdom.

Pls learn to give respect where it is due.

OJEEMAH:
Messi is incomparable!

Instead chasing IG followers and YouTube subscribers, The GOAT 🐐 is Winning titles with Inter Miami and also enjoying his unofficial retirement with friends and family.

Perfect end to a glorious career

Respect Cincinnati 🫡

100% OJ. The near end could not have been written better if Messi's career were a story of fiction.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the desert it's raining uncontrollable tears as a result of this news. I hear even Youtube's network has been flooded

This is tragic!

I suspect it's related to the usual drugs and depression issues. He seemed to have some personal struggles prior to his death.

Adekunle Gold picked the tune of his song "Sade" from the popular "Story of my life" by Liam Payne and co.

A big loss of talent. RIP Liam

Devvy4:
Non of these players had the kind of season Vini had last season nor influence, save your tears for 28th of october, that's all i can say

You are right. None of them had the kind of slightly above average season Vini had.

Person wey get 95/100 and came second is way better than one with 65/100 that came first in his class.

C'est fini.

andrewbaba44:
The players voted though ,maybe Palmer is loved more than the other guy ,even the other guy voted Palmer ,lmao

Yes, it's quite obvious Palmer is widely loved. JB also didn't help himself with his publicly flaunted savior mentality for England during the Euros.

drisham:
The players voted !!!!

I know. They voted for the breakout star of the year. Shebi they also voted Calvin phillips in 21 and Saka 2 years ago.
