Where was your hope last May though? Expected a treble, did you? And now disappointed we're not among few teams in recent history that did it?

Barca plays best football in Europe, already won 2 trophies, on course to win La Liga. Inter loss is heartbreaking but we outplayed them and have nothing to be ashamed of.

Not liking some of the entitled comments. Particularly from people that had no trust in these set of players from beginning.

No. He built the expectations to what they became. Unfortunately, this always happens when you raise the bar, people expect more from Flick now.

If we are to consider him a great manager... whole different conversation than at the beginning of the season.

Comparison is not Xavi lol. He's already better than Xavi by a distance. But likes of Pep, Klopp, etc. Not sure those type of elite managers lose a game of this importance like Flick did.

What's done is done though. Let's move on and win the league to make it a great season. All discussions about last night ran their course. Can only hope lesson was learned the hard way and next time we won't be this stupid.

A guy like Flick deserves a CL title with Barca.

Pep's had some awful losses in the CL KO rounds as well.

Thanks to him we were also able to finish off his Bayern team when Neymar scored with his team trying to score one goal being down 2-0 in the 90th minute.

Was in fact the last minute of extra-time too :lol:

Yes, just not as bad. Imagine Chelsea scoring after Iniesta in 2009 because we look for another goal... disaster. At this stage losing because of naivety and stupidity is hardest pill to swallow.

Not sure those managers get these set of players, play this football and win this much. Where is pep's treble with Bayern? How long did it take him to win CL with City?

Flick came in a club that was beaten down. No stadium, no budget.

I fully understand the disappointment of going out while being better team. I can't understand people pointing blame at players or manager who already massively over performed.

There could be a point made about Araujo, who we know is/was capable of more.
Can't see what to expect playing with no RB, Martin as LB, Ferran as striker, retired GK between the posts and ask 2 teenagers to have perfect games on Puyol or Messi level.

I am shocked Flick managed to get this team look so dominant.

I would be hesitant to make it look like Flick inherited bums. He overperformed, but you have to look at some players we have. Yamal is probably best in the world for example, and would be unplayable under Pep. But yes, I agree, other than Pep and Klopp, don't think anyone could do what Flick did with this team. Which is great compliment tbh.

We are also made to believe by Xavi's own words that we won't be able to compete with the likes of Real because of our financial situation and the current team we got.

It's true our finances suck but he completely underestimated what he actually had. We are barebones in a few places but Flick managed to elevate the team to higher standards and we nearly got into a CL final with fucking Gerard Martin as our backup LB starting a CL match and losing a couple of key players to Injuries such as Balde and Kounde and other options such as Casado as well.

It's easy to be bummed but he took the team to another level despite the problems we have.

As long as he wins the title, all is good and we move.

If his suicide line and attack with 5 minutes left and a lead, cost us in the clasico or the league.

Houston we have a problem.

That he will need to seriously address next season

What did I say regarding 352 vs 4231 before a ball was kicked and repeated in the olmo trend?.

Inter's formation is the perfect antidote for the 4231.

He wasn't going to change is formation for a SF like pep would, he's not that type of manager, but from a structure and tactical prospective, inter started the game with an edge which is why they led for the majority of the game.

Greatest CB of all time who has multiple losses to RM in CL KOs, loss to AM, and loss to PSG.

And a trophy vs. Spurs, courtesy of Ernesto and Alba :lol:

Great player but again, you stink up the forum and turn people against great players with your tripe.
Stop crying. It's just a compilation to demonstrate his defending in a high line system. I didn't write the caption.

Also I didn't know that the greatest players never lost any games. :lol:
