With the exclusion of lewandowski, Deepay is the best forwarder in Barcelona but Xavi have his issues with biasness. We are gonna see Alonso at left back, Busquet CDM and Roberto right back. Easy Atletico win
As long as Barca's players doesn't get free roam in matches, then we should expect a lot more bottling. They seem to be shackled in matches by Xavi. They are lacking confidence ever since Messi left. No one wants to take the risk anymore.
Loving the new graphics on the thumbnails!!
Lewan is finished
Atletico to win
I think depay will start on the left with ansu as the striker, but both of them can switch between positions
If Atlético Madrid lost to Barcelona 4-0 that I'm predicted! Atlético Madrid could be dropping out 5th or possible 6th if Bilbao will win!
I’m with Ale on this one
They are both not good depay should be played
barca is so boring to watch
FERRAN(with finishing)>>>>
Memphis is a better player than both
Long time Dembele supporter here , but it's high time Barça should get rid of him. Very inconsistent and disappears when needed the most. They should find a reliable winger who can cut in and score goals.
Ferran Torres can’t score lol also he wastes away time trying to prove he can’t dribble past defenders while he can’t 🤣.. he is a bad choice both for Spain and Barca .. he played for Spain because he was dating Lucha’s daughter and he is playing for Barca because they bought him for big money and are stuck with him as nobody wants to buy him 🤣
Athletico 2-0
I'm sick of hear that critic from Ale about Fati, if Xavi gave the guy a good run of games I'm sure he'll be back to his old self, how can you expect a player to hit form and stay consistent, when you bring him on at the 80 min mark one game and bench him two games after, then one minute you start him and pull him at half time, then drop him the next 3 games and rinse and repeat, you gotta believe in the guy and give him a good run of games full 90mins to build back his form and confidence
As Real Madrid fan I admit we are having problems but not just us. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are having problems too. Especially other spanish biggies. Looks like Atletico can pull a surprise here despite their poor run in La Liga. Who would want to bet on this game? It could go to a 1-1 draw but I hope it doesn't. It's very tought to call. Barcelona just hasn't been all that consistent recently. Nothing within the Barcelona squad has changed after the World Cup. But maybe in some areas of Atletico Madrid have changed.
Less pressure now that Madrid lost to the yellow submarines and couldn’t capitalize on the situation
Ale has no idea what he's talking about. He can't find the ball in the box? That's stupid talk
I would play depay. You need goals. Depay gets them. Look at his world cup.
