Champions League 2024-25

[Temptation]

Pedri this season has immense stamina and runs up and down the pitch.
Our 'most kms run' player in most games this season

Pedri doesn't have the natural swiftness Iniesta had. He doesn't glide across the pitch like Iniesta used to do.

He tends to dribble in circles and retain the ball and recycle possession very well. His carries aren't very progressive. It tends to be follow a circular path without much forward progression.

Biggest challenge for PSG will be to keep egos in check now they’ve won the CL. Footballing world is rightfully fawning over them.

Now the collective become superstars it can change the dynamic somewhat if not then they will definitely be the team to beat over the next few years.

I was talking about Wirtz.

Gottem @Horatio

He's the most talented of the 3. Crazy ability.

Pedri doesnt have the pace and stamina to run up and down vitinha does. If he did, would leave spaces at both ends.

Check how many km Pedri averages this season.

He is the main reason why Barca can play without a DM.

He is better than Vitinha by every metrics, bar shooting. Not as quick though.

Pedri Casado/FDJ Olmo is a better midfield for Flick's system.

Ruiz Vitinha Neves is a better midfield for Enrique's system.

This should be pretty obvious.

People are doubting Olmo but his ability has never been in doubt for me.

It isn't to 'know it alls' who don't know shit about football THO

If Flick had been trying to play his football with a Vitinha-Neves-Ruiz he would be cursing all the time

He's totally right. It's not a matter of KMs but a matter of pace. Pedri is a slower player. He maybe runs more, but runs at a slower pace. Vitinha is very quick, and creative in his own right in a less flairy more snappy way.

Pedri is more technical, but it's very close between them.

After seeing pure football molestation just a few hours ago, I can confirm and truthfully say that I will never live the Inter semi final loss down. Never

Vitinha makes more km than pedri. But I’ll admit it’s closer than I thought. Vitinha looks way more explosive.

I wasn’t arguing vitinha is ahead of Pedri. But birdy asked to name one thing where pedri was beat. Technically Pedri is superior.


edit:

@serghei post identical to mine lol

 

[vegitot]

Switch Pedri and Vitinha, Qsg would still be Qsg, maybe even better while Barca would collapse.

Yep, I honestly can't believe Horatio just said that.

If we are rating players solely on box to box this season.

Pedri who is already the best in Europe, will only build a bigger lead, he doesn't look as energetic and dynamic while doing it, which is why some may have gotten confused.

What vitinha is better as is quick one twos, he passes the ball then immediately runs/sprints to the next best position.

Super dynamic, while also have incredible technique.

 

[Temptation]

Still can't believe that Vitinha miserably flopped and got benched at Wolves.

Jesus Christ this is a horrible take.
But you believe that Dutch dude is better than pedri, so I don't expect any better.

Every time you take 1 step forward, you take 2 steps back .

Bro the last time Barcelona lost to a team in the semis that ended up losing the final was 2000. Against Valencia…

Bald polish cunt, one would think tractor would help us out but he was and is so useless that cant even talk woth fellow country man. Man this cl sucks, this resulf sucks.
