Suarez at his peak was an out of the world freakish monster. I am getting similar vibes from Haaland although it is still early days. Never felt that with even Mbappe and certainly not Lautaro.

I was doubting him, but this lad Haaland looks like the real deal. Ideal Suarez replacement. He looks to be a bloody killer, Lautaro is not.

I have a feeling many of Liverpool's star players are going to become complacent, semi-finished players in the next year or two. You can only keep running for so long, especially after you win.

Morata with a Dembele-eque miss there. Should be 2-0.

Madrid do not have the goals in them to progress very far in this competition. In the league this season they have been nicking matches by the skin of their teeth with balanced scoring from their midfielders and defenders. In a big tie, against a big club which attacking player on their squad...

He is far from finished. Two freak injuries prevented from playing in 3 out of 4 of PSG's last CL knockout matches. Now he is going up against a very intense team away from at half fitness. Just a situation of bad circumstances really. I have no doubt he would be a 30 goal + 20 assist player...

This is a CL knockout match away to a very tough side to be fair. Not something Messi has excelled at as of late either. Leo has maybe 2 world class seasons left in him. Neymar has 4-5. Choosing Ney is only the logical choice at this point. Not a slight to Leo.

Never jumped on the Mbappe hype train. I sincerely hope Madrid spend 300m on him.

Relax, he will still decide the match.

I think the lack of Leo's goal scoring output has more to do with his own natural decline and the absence of Suarez more than anything else. He was hardly setting the world on fire this season even when Valverde was still here. Suarez got injured around the same time Valverde was sacked and he...

Of course I would. Is a poll really necessary for this question? I doubt there is a single use that wouldn't take him back if he wanted to return. Cannot see even the most vocal Pep critics answering no. He simply blows away all the other coaching options on the market by multiple orders of...

Should make an inquiry at the very least if he becomes available this summer. He turns 29 in a few months and I doubt he wants to waste two of the last few prime years of his career wasting away on a team that cannot play in the CL. He has never won a European competition before and I suspect he...

Well, yes. He is not a Messi/Xavi/Iniesta level legend, but he is certainly the next best thing. He joined the club at age 27 with many of his peak seasons already behind him, yet finds himself just a few goals short of entering the top 3 scorers in the club's history. He scored the winning...

Aye. The classic "any decent striker would be better" argument. Wonder what the excuses will be for Lautaro next season when he struggles to match even half of this crocked Suarez's output. The forum reaction will be an interesting dynamic without a doubt and should be taken up as a case...

I don't trust this muppet anymore regarding anything Barca related; Italian connection or not. He is simply jumping on the bandwagon from yesterday's MD story. I remember this clown reporting Valverde would be sacked after the end of the 18/19 season and Neymar to Barca was a done deal. His...

:lol: You were out of your mind if you truly thought there was even a remote chance he would leave for City at age 33. He has his wife and three young boys settled in Barcelona. Leo is not the type of bloke to pick it all up and move to a foreign country with a different culture, language...

Not like they were ever going to win the competition, nor did they need the money from it. This does however hurt whatever prestige and "brand" they had built up over the years and deals a significant blow to their recruitment aspirations. They have been publicly humiliated. City's crooked...

City in trouble, which only means one thing: Pep is going to take the easy way out.

Who ever suggested that we have a serious project? Barto and his group of cronies running things is one of the reasons I'd rather see us punt most of the major squad decisions a year or two down the line. No guarantees a new president and board will bring about the changes that are needed, but...

1228229589488422912 Another 100m+ player that isn't proven enough that we're going to be moaning about being a "bad fit" within the first 6 months. Get Aubameyang (1 year remaining on his contract) for 50m in the summer as a stop-gap for a few seasons and wait to see how Haaland and other...
