Let me know if there are any mistakes, or if there’s something you want me to change
Marcos Alonso own goal incoming
the younger the players are, their socks are getting smaller I think. They almost dont use any shin protections either
Gavi is the exception, but it could just be cuz he’s the same size as Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes
Our squad depth for this game is hilariously thin. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.
Seems as though Athletic don’t have as much trouble finding goals as they did last season and they’re doing decent. But they often get thrashed when they go to Barcelona so even if they’re missing a lot of players, I don’t expect anything less than a 3-0 here.
Anyone know why Lamine isn’t in the starting XI for Barça?
Tough game
Ferran is honestly so disappointing. All that shark talk is aging like milk
I know I didn’t see Fermin try and line up a bicycle kick
Mixed team for Barcelona against a good side. Let’s see if they can go back to the 1-0 vibes
Xav1 vibes
Love Romeu’s long passing
Gavi got away with murder there at first glance. Maybe the replay will show otherwise
Gavi should have been sent off there… Suspended for the clasico but I guess ref had been paid otherwise.
Alonso looks funny when he runs lol
The passing has been so much better the last 15 mins or so
How was that not a foul by Gavi for that scissor tackle lol
