no no no to Lewe… Ferran moves and creates a lot of space and opportunities for Ferin, Lamin and they connected very good today imagine Olmo playing behind them with Gavi and Pedri .. or even Casado Cancelo as a RB and Balde as LB
Wait for Tuesday, Barca will have Roony at the right, Lewa as cf, Rashford at the left and Lamine as an amf. There will be atleast 3 infront of goal everytime Barca attack. Barca will be winning by a big margin at the Metropolitano (5-1)
Steve made a great smart comment, Lewe never runs so he ll be additional body inside the box blocking and jamming space.. he never pressures… Rashford is lazy too we need legs and we need heart
Put a fork in VARDRID. They're done.
I heard that Someone rested the team bus driver too
But i think Steve Nicol is right. Ferran Torres must start the tuesday's game then subbed off in the 2nd half for Lewy.
Atletico Madrid can only reach the semis if they play with 13 men again (Ref + VAR.).
We still believe. Not losing hope until the final whistle
Barca should be really critical in selecting their front two, especially regarding between Rashford, Ferran, Lewa and Olmo.
There is a very real feeling that in a big spot Barcelona can not get a fair shake from officials.
Well I don’t know who will qualify but games will epic!!
Ferran can never deceive me; bro ain’t a good striker and thats that
Ferran I'm not fooled please leave my club😭🤲🤲
Weather Barcelona goes through or Atletico one thing is for sure it is gonna be a Good game. Barcelona doesn't know how to play bad, boring games even the ones where they lose.
Rashford goal wasn’t an easy touch. Well done. He missed an easy one earlier, he is abundantly forgiven !
are everybody blind. ferran is one of the worst players in the game.
put gavi on griezamn, he will stop him
Ferran regained confidence at the right time. He offers mobility and he is smart, he might start Tuesday..to open spaces for the others. Then depending on how the game goes Lewa can come in later
Ferran woke up… Maybe he can be useful against atletico
Ferran must start against atletico. Barca cannot allow their players to breath a second. Must press high to steal the ball & kill the game off. Hope rashford & lamine press intensively & provide defence to full backs

“Is Frankie de jong sharp enough to come back” has got to be the most redundant question ever. He always improves the team performance.
Craig is an idiot. A butthurt EPL glazing butthurt steamer 😂
So if u didn’t expect go coach Barcelona and expect to not play them you wicked pundit
Barcelona wins 4-2 on Tuesday and wins on penalties
1:29 75% is ludicrous! Diabolical take right there
With Olmo as a false 9, like in the league game, the attack and control on the final third was more of a threat. Only issue was Araujo on the right side who wouldn't make those runs forward Kounde does and combines with Lamine.
No UCL again 😂
I had no idea The Shark 🦈 spoke English!
Preferably Start Ferran with Gavi on the left.. keep Lewandowski and Rashford for the second half for more fire power. The key is to have midfield players overloading the box.
AGAINST ATLETICO, BARCA DEFENSE SHOULD DEFEND VERY WELL TO OUTPLAY THEM. THE EXPECTATION FOR US AS FANS IS TO DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND!
BARCA VS ATM:
Garcia
Cancelo, Martin, Garcia, Kounde,
Pedri and FDJ
Gavi. Lamine Rooney
Dani false 9
