A pleasing performance in the second half. Especially, after the red card. Finally, Barca seems to have some defensive resilience when one man down. Today did not crumble and allowed few chances if any.

Given his performances and abilities, I am very surprised that Barca hasn't signed him sooner. So much time and money had been spent on unreliable CBs over the last 5-10 years that it's not even funny.

I wouldn't be surprised if his career in Barca goes well, he might renew his contract to add competition to the GK department in Barca.

He is probably unhappy with the current GK situation. My guess Flick wants to see Tek in action and test if Tek can be a difference maker when necessary. Pena has a contract ending in 2026. But my guess is that he is going to renew like Lunin did. There is not shortage of good goalkeepers on the...

The second goal is partly on him. Given what he has shown over the last games, he has a role in the team. But I wouldn't rely on him in big games because he's very often exposed positionally.

Torres is a mystery to me. He is athletic, agile, hard-working and can shoot well. Theoretically, can be a good nr 9. But sometimes his performances are such that one would want to send him to the bench for eternity. Anyway, he needs to work on consistency and accuracy.

Hard to tell if the rumors about the renewal of his contract are true. The fact is that he has played decently for a couple of games, but elite clubs don't judge players' quality just by a couple of games. He has to be useful and perform consistently including against big teams. Hard to tell if...

Martines should be the first CB choice once he recovers from his injury

I guess now it has become more clear who will take the GK spot for the remaining campaign

Can't believe the team lost points against Getafe again. I know that Flick is an attacking puris but after scoring the goal, the team should have given the ball to Getafe and used counter attacks. It would make Getafe fall off the rails because, as it stands, the match went according to Getafe's...

The question of whether or not to extend him is not about his skillset because overall he is a good defender that can help the squad challenge for the titles. Either as a starter or a sub. It is more about his injury record and the wages he wants. Because giving him a new 5-year contract at...

After yesterday\s match, he is probably the 1 GK choice for Barca. Hard to tell if it is good or not. Tek messed up but was good overall. The main test will be UCL play-off games. Pena needs to step up for those games if he wants to challenge Ter Stegen for the number one spot in the future.

Unplayable right now. I like how he used his chance and established as the regular part of the starting eleven, which to be honest was hard to imagine at the start of the season and I guess no one really expected that to happen.

They lost the game. But they will come back stronger. It is Real who always manage to come back.

Mendes does what is best for the client. He is his agent first and foremost. The Fati situation, as I understand it, was 50/50 at the time. He was the ultimate hope of Barca at that time. So the wage was in some sense justified by his previous performances and goals. The club, I guess, wanted to...

Did well at the end. Was reliable when had to come on the pitch instead of Tek. Although some doubts remain if he can perform in the biggest matches - meaning the UCL play off stage. But so far so good. Reliable, not too many mistakes. But no great saves either. He hasn't had a game when you...

Given how he has performed this season, he deserves a one-year extension. I have doubts about his fitness level and such. But he has been great in the Flick system so far.

He has been outstanding the season. What I am worried about it how the club will manage his transition to a great player. Meaning contracts and such. Barca really messed it up with Messi who took Barca for a ride wit his demands. Hopefully something will be learned from the experience. Also, I...

God forbid. He would be the ultimate amigo president. Lazy, probably a little bit corrupt. Although it's the norm in Spain. Former players rarely make good presidents or great coaches. It's a totally different skillset.

He deserved the win. Firing Xavi and appointing Flick was the right decision in the hindsight. But a lot of work still needs to be done if he wants to match achievements of papa Perez.
