I find these reports about Dembele highly believable. He does seem like a lazy dude at times.
EV is not some kind of idiot. He can see his lack of effort, hence putting him on the bench. This kid either shapes up, or there's no shortage of stupid and rich EPL clubs that love themselves some...
I came here to say the exact same thing. Even though that goal was after a lung-busting run during a counter.
If I recall well, Alba also scored the winning goal against Celtic in the final minute some years ago.
Dembele has to prove why he's wearing a Barca shirt, not the other way round.
He will get a lot of chances as there are tons of games ahead, but it's up to him. Otherwise we can sell him to a Prem club or something.
I disagree.
They pressed like crazy for most of the game, but so did we. Our players were out tonight to prove that they deserve to be in a Barca shirt and that they can beat a very good team without Messi. As you say, they even managed to put us of balance at the start of the 2nd half, but we...

Juventus must have made the worst signing in the history of football by paying so much for CR and giving him a 4 year contract. He is simply done and dusted.
Oh, and United are atrocious.
This game was a perfect example of how fundamental the luck-factor is in football. Spain were far and away the better team throughout the game, but England won the game and were even in front by 3-0.
Also, the ref made one of the worst decisions I have ever seen in a football match by not...
