Lliga | Round 26: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 2-0

[Barcilliant]

This team is done. We've been saying it for a while now.
Umtiti needs to be sold. Pique benched. Two new starting quality CBS are required.
Midfield needs aB2b player. Bruno Fernandes would have been ideal but that's history.

Striker needed too. A number nine.

That's four players there.

Well will this summer really have a cleanup or are we still going to have similar problems next season until the elections? Even with few new signings I will won’t feel to optimistic for next season

 

[abbbs97]

lets hope we have early elections this summer or we're not going to improve anytime soon.

 

[Giginho75]

Too many victories in the last years at Bernabeu.
Soon or later, it was normal to lost.

Anyway...
Barca played a very good first half, where deserved to score.
The problem is that this team is too much exaggerated with the possession of the ball.
Sometime we should play faster and in depth.

Seeing Braithwaite come on was so embarrassing. I don't like this Barca at all. Sterile, ponderous possession with no width or pace. It's simply bad to watch.

 

[ronniecro]

this team is so dead,we probably wouldn't score if the match lasted two more days. i expect nothing from this season

 

[eaman]

first goal, RM had so much space and empty net to shoot at. Tired defense and bad positioning by Ter Stegan.

second goal was just Grandma Umtiti being so slow.

none of goals were lucky.

They were good runs but they were lucky finishes. Two deflections. One off pique that was going straight at ter Stegen and the other one looped over ter stegen because Mariano kicked it off his standing leg

 

[Daisymorr]

Griezmann was a big waste of money, not a patch on Luis Suarez. Does not fit the team and should never have been bought.

Money should have been invested in other positions. Messi needs younger faster players around him because he is getting on a bit himself.

Big rebuild needed, no matter how the season finishes, trophyless or not.

Who cares. You create your own luck in the end. They destroyed us in the 2nd half

I dont disagree. Just pointing out how lucky their finishes were. Two average teams playing each other really

Yeah that's true. Probably the weakest RM and Barca sides in a long time

Griezmann and Vidal are NOT Goalscorers we did not need a Greizmann type for this team 120 million wasted. Vidal is playing out of position he is not an AMF or WING. FDJ is being played out of position and is quickly becoming trash.
Messi is out of position he is not a CMF. MESSI IS PLAYING INJURED each time he plays he gets worse.

They need Braithwaite and Fati out there I think Setien made a bad mistake sitting Fati after he got hot. Braithwaite needs to play.

THEY GOT LUCKY AGAINST NAPOLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Still RM sucks Barca could have easily won this game EASILY


The DEFENSE is a mess and the goal scoring is so weak

 

[Givenchy]

football has moved on and it has left Barca behind.

the system is outdated and even bringing people like Pep back wont change that

for a few seasons we were spanking midtable la liga teams whilst getting humiliated in Europe but now even those midtable teams are giving us problems.

i respect Setien for atleast trying but watching us try to play out from the back like prime Barca is cringe to watch. we are trying to play a system that isn't suitable for the current team BUT the only system we can play with these grandpas is getting bummed in the CL. no teams are scared of this Barca, you shut Messi down and we are finished. Leo used to find a way out and rescue us but age is catching up to him

 

[Slevinn]

First half was good but we really should’ve scored.

 

[mc_lovin]

Real learned their lesson vs City well. They didnt go all out the first half, sat back, absorbed pressure and really went for it in the 2nd half. Completely mirroring Citys approach. We should have punished them though.
