Ok game.

No.

Scoring such difficult goals is extremely important in CL. Vital. Can turn close games into a dominating performance.

This Barca side is also fast, has a great coach, and a squad that it is improving year by year. More than just technique. Also speed, fitness, hunger, proper team that is just missing a stadium and some 2-3 quality missing pieces to really be no1. Manager is a key piece. Got it spot on...

High praise from Gordon, very sincere. No bullshit, explained the feeling he had from the pitch level.

They have a good midfield, but Frenkie and Pedri are elite. Many teams have good midfields, but the jump from good to PSG and Barca quality is big. Gonna be some game on October 1st.

Pedri and De Jong could not be pressed, frustrated them to bits all game.

Think they played a bit under my expectations, and Barca played about as expected. They seemed indeed that they are not used to chase the ball that much and not get it. If they had more experience, they could have hurt us more on those turnovers. Think it's about a 8/10 performance for us. Good...

Class act.

Seriously, this Lamine-dependencia is a bit caused by us passing to him all the time. The team has several players that can impact a match and provide elite quality. Don't need to make it one man stuff.

Flick is gonna cost us 30m by talking like this. :lol:

Was Gordon offside initially and this is why he had the upper hand on Kounde by some chance? Or simply got there faster on an equal race to the cross?

Gonna watch a replay. Could be. Then it's just a well taken action by Newcastle with some good first touch passes.

Have to look at the replay with the goal, but did not understand why he left his man all alone to squeeze in the middle when the pass was not really on to the guy he took under marking. You don't do that unless it's to block an imminent danger.

Aerially, very solid. Cubarsi had a rough start, but got better. Araujo commanded the box in the air. Kounde was great. I hope he stops fucking around, because he is technically gifted to matter in attack. Cross with the weaker foot, text book, winning goal vs Madrid, golazo, these are not...

But... we showed we can mix it up. This was a different type of performance for me. Almost like Flick ball got infected a bit by Spanish ball. The defense was secure. You are expected to face some issues there, Newcastle scored 2 vs Liverpool in 10 men some weeks ago.

Yeah, but not occupying the position. Somewhat of a Cristiano double that. They still had Benzema to occupy the zone.

Good competition is what we asked. From Fati and Pau Victor to this... levels. Despite bossing Newcastle in the 2nd half... not easy to win there. Felt a bit like playing AM at times.

Aye, pro showing while we missed one of the best players in the world. If Rashford keeps scoring like that... Raphinha can lose his starting spot if he's not careful.

Yeah, have to look at Garcia also, that flank was breached way too easily.
