    The first half was perhaps the most excruciating half I’ve ever seen this season. Just couldn’t get anything done. Thankfully that beautiful Yamal goal (from Pedri’s assist) at least redeemed the game. Cubarsi has really upped his game too and it’s amazing to watch.

    However, we really cannot do anything without the big boys on the pitch. No wonder we tumble when even one of Raphinha, Pedri or Yamal gets injured.

    Anyways, win is a win and 3 points count the same.

    Not a pretty win but I will take the 3 points.We are really nothing without pedri man

  3. Incredibly ugly win, but ugly wins get you the league in the end.

    Pedri, you are so special.

  4. Seems our players are too tired after that Atleti game. Still, good efforts to win 3 points.

  5. Important 3 points. Not the prettiest but still a good win regardless.
    Ferran holy shit man… I’m just speechless.
    Anyway it was important to conserve our stamina for our upcoming UCL match but this match really was hella tiring especially at the end.

    Well that wasn’t a good game, even Yamal was pretty bad but man what a beauty he scored, glad the defense made its job fine

  7. games like these win titles. during these final highly congested months of the season you gotta grind out those 0-1 wins on the road.

  8. Bilbao players fell down on every whiff in their presence. And then they threw a tantrum when legitimate falls were called. I’m glad they lost this game. But we did not play well

    Maldini and Cuba with great game.

    Rashford sucked big time.

    Fermin not scoring for a few games now, means he will score an absolute banger soon (I hope against Newcastle)

    We need a striker !

    Should have started with Roony as striker just to make ferran feel we have other options

  10. Lamine scored the goal, but this was man was the MVP

  11. Bad news: Newcastle will get to rest 2 minutes longer than Barcelona before the CL match.

    Can’t blame anyone today.The players are tired. It was quite visible. From now on, we have to take more risks with rotation in La Liga, especially at home. Otherwise we won’t be able to give our 100% in big games.

    Hopefully Lamine and Pedri are given more days off compared to others in training.

  13. Rashford is like a surprise bag; you never know what you get. One day he wins you a tough CL game, the next match you barely notice that hes on the field.
