Champions League 23/24

Why would it? The ref allowed the goal initially even though the blatant foul happened right in front of him. VAR had to intervene to actually disallow it. Bayern should have had the same treatment, but rather opposite happened.

We also kicked Messi out like he was a stray dog.

Yeah sure FFP, Tebas, whatever, but the club kept delaying and then dropped the nuke on him in one day instead of communicating properly or honestly.

Dude, what's up with you and reading comprehension?
I literally wrote that Lewa is the reason Madrid have the edge on us
Yamal is top, Raphian Ferran could be much better under a proper coach as shown many times

- in defence we are better: Araujo Kounde Christensen Cubarsi Balde >> Rudiger Militao Alaba Mendy and Carvahal
- in md prob on tie even though they have better DM : FDJ Pedri Gavi Gundo = Kroos Tchou Valverde Camavinga
- in attack they have the edge because of Lewa: Lewa Yamal Raphina Torres < Vinicius Rodrygo Belligham Brahim

Araujo and co. better than RM is peak delusion to the point it aint even funny. Seriously wtf.

At this point i dont see a single player from Barca that is able to replace RM starters. Next season has potential bloodbath written on it.

Sure you are a Madritista to utter such nonsense
We are talking about individual quality
Kounde>>Carvahal
Aruajo>>>Rudiger
Cubarsi>Nacho
Balde>Mendy

Any day of the week
The fact that Xavi can't piece them together is irrelevant

Carvajal's well past prime obviously but he still has more skill and technique than Kounde. Rudiger's passing's better than Araujo's, never see latter making former's assist yesterday. Mendy's nowhere near low IQ of Balde.

Mendy and Rudiger clearly stopped playing and Lunin didn't move an inch.

The narrative I'd actually like to push is how the hell were they playing a 13th minute on an already ridiculous 9 minute added time? If these refs were hell bent on helping Madrid, they sure made things unnecessarily stressful at the end.

Don't agree
- Balde is not low IQ. Mendy is not bad, but Balde is as good defensively and better attacking-wise
- Rudiger's passing better than Araujo's, but defensively there is a big gap
- Carvahal has better cross than Kounde, but in everything else there is a huge gap. Caravahal is a walking liability

The damage Xavi has done is that people underrate so much the quality of our squad
