Better to win this. Mallorca or whatever was not enough, about two or three win streak with established names, which Betis is, (right?) is needed to reestablish the previous traction that had caused all the euphoria, which was rightfully felt and deserved . And to ensure traction, start with the...

It took awhile for BVB and then Bayern to find an adequate replacement. Not until Haaland and Kane, were they up to their previous attacking strength. One could argue that because Lewandowski did not play, Mallorca was disoriented with their defensive plan, and other forwards had free rein...

I mean, to me, UCL, formerly known as European Champions Cup, was always the second best trophy after the World Cup. Even at the expense of winning the title of 'any' league in the World. But I guess, for someone who is deeply rooted in the realm of a specific leage...I think here mostly...

Was it only Arsenal under Wenger's debut to win the PL title without a single loss? But that was more of a probability fluke than anything else. Most of the time, there are highs and lows for the best of the best. And I guess, you're right about underestimating La Liga level of competition as...

I agree 100%. The hate is absolutely unneeded, just as unneeded is to hail him like he is another Ceasar.

Maybe, that's to be expected in a long range, 10 round or more box event? Keep up the style...believe in it. I mean, a few punches on the chest, few more on the liver, then you're on the floor being counted, so what?! You get up and do to the opponent the same what he just did to you. A...

So how many good results are needed now to make up for this royal fuck up and the two half fuck ups before? I mean, before the long faces are gone and nobody remembers anything? Maybe 5-6 wins in a row, or 8 including UCF? Kind of good that the next match is soon. The worst thing is to dwell...

The La Liga campaign of Hansi Flick resembles the one of Feldmarshall Heinz Guderian in 1941 in Soviet Russia. Both had impressive start, and both got bogged down by December. 😟 Tell you what, though, gotta believe and trust Commander Flick still. Nothing is lost yet.

The guy has a form of a lifetime. If Barca wins big trophies this season, and there's still a chance and hopefully there's still the right self esteem of the squad, he sure is a pretender for Ballon d'Or 2024/25.

As a matter of fact, under Klopp and Pep, on those rare occasions when Lewandowski started on the bench, he was often a game changer in 2nd halves...why not do this here, with Ferran or Ansu Fatti at hand?

In Lewandowski's entire career, it was only Pep, who did not put Lewandowski in the 1st eleven every single game, and he was in his prime. Lewandowski did not like it but he said himself that under Pep, not Klopp who he values highly too, he developed the most. How come this club did not...

Once upon a time, he had it too, when he had more pace and strength. But lets face it, his playing for the treble pretender, at 36, has rarely been witnessed before. Different positions but still, Real still has Modric, sir Alex' Man U. had Giggs older than Lewa is now, Juve had Del Piero...

Too bad...it was a display of indolence...hard to finger point who was there to blame, except Raphina, all of them were inept. One thing I am certain of, if there was Szczęsny, instead of Pena, there would have been at least one goal lost less. Not that he fucked up or did something detrimental...

You mistake a John Deer tractor for an Apache Helicopter. Different devices for different applications...or measure your ambitions by your skills, the old adage says.

Not on Lewandowski this loss. Everybody knows he needs more feed to make something out of that. His last moment situation was half a chance. Nobody in that position, would have done any better...bar some pro acrobat.

Las Palmas sounds like a Mexican Restaurant. If this isn't won, then shit, I wouldn't know what to think.

Excellent footballer, but I memorized him as a bum and low life after this incident ( see the below). Even we, as kids, new better than that. When it comes to him, I can't help not to think about this scene.

Zbigniew Boniek, my Poland's GOAT footballer, Juve's and Roma's great libero in 1980s...(remember that position back in the day? Sort of a free electron floating on the pitch, jumping at opportunities.) said that when he retired at 31 or 32, his total capital cumulated from his career, would...

Another interesting thing to point out is that going back to the era before 1990s, perhaps even 2000s. It was extremely rare, for players to continue their careers much beyond their thirties, except for goalkeepers. Once thirty, they seriously had to think about retirement. Maybe that had...

Lewandowski's own care of body and soul is definitely one of his great assets. I gotta brag to you but I had pointed that out too, earlier in this thread or another. I could even risk an assertion that while he may not be striker GOAT but he's definitely GOAT of physical fitness and staying...
