    CL: Barca - PSG 1-2

    Barca may well begin the game without 2 of their starting front 3 also if Ferran plays and also Yamal is just back. Then potentially the AM, LB and GK positions not certain starters either. Can see by comments and why.. certain folk dont want certain players to play well against them so all...

    CL: Barca - PSG 1-2

    Would like to see him start Araujo. Barca need that power and strength in the team and even if risk need to test him v top teams that will try again to expose him. Its a test for latter stages and v Real etc. With the way Rashford whips ball in on the GK like the one Kounde scored from Araujo...

    CL: Barca - PSG 1-2

    Nah Raphinha is a miss and Garcia is a huge miss. Raphinha is a miss as he is a starter and also because less pace off bench with Rashford later on etc. Tek barely saved anything in Europe after that Benfica game. Its not the huge PSG v Barca game/tie could be later anyway.

    CL: Barca - PSG 1-2

    They have the advantage of being able to take players off for rest if feeling it more than Barca. Flick I would guess would have ideally rested Frenkie and Pedri more for example but there is not enough on bench to trust doing it as much as would have liked in close games. Barca have injuries...

    CL: Barca - PSG 1-2

    No one wants to lose either game but worse to drop points in the league than drop points v PSG. Still a lot of luck involved in draw even if finish top 2. Seen that last season with Liverpool etc. Top 2 or 4 doesnt guarantee home advantage in QF or Semis either as other teams could 'win' that...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Last four goals of Barca been headers in the box. It is a big part of Flicks game and has been since last season.. lots of important goals were scored like that. Barca absolutely need height in this team if want the technical advantage of Cubarsi, Pedri, FDJ, Yamal etc to not be negated due to...

    CL: Barca - PSG 1-2

    100%. Barca could lose to PSG and still comfortably finish in good place in the CL table. Dropping points in league when want to keep pressure on Real and Classico on way would be far worse. Have to keep as much pressure as can on Real and not let them enjoy their football.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    Doubt club would be in for Mingueza now. He is too similar to Eric and not as good. They cover the same positions for most part and both lack the same things also. Best hope for Barca is probably Celta sell him in January.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    The way Fermin and Olmo play under Flick the AM/10 role is an attacking player that creates/crashes box for chances. Best out there for that would be Alvarez currently would say and could be option at CF also although for me Barca need more height/power there in a team that already lacks it...

    Samu Aghehowa

    Yeah have to imagine he is one of the strikers being monitored but a gamble to buy players from Portugal as seen so often with CFs and full backs often seem to come out of there and not live up to it.

    8 - Pedri

    He kept it under control as the touch deflected off his shin and down to his foot. Fortunate. Decent but not all that impressive in reality but adjusted his balance well once ball luckily lands on foot.

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Yaakobishvili getting rave reviews for Andorra again this weekend. Supposedly quite a few bigger teams sitting up and taking notice. Barca should have been loaning these young GKs out years ago. Good are on it now.

    8 - Pedri

    You dont even think defender touched it onto Pedris shin. Says it all. Not a single clue what watching. Defender reacts like that as knows Pedri got lucky.

    8 - Pedri

    Pedri didnt mean the defender to get a touch onto his shin and then control it. The best can say there is he adjusted well after ball came off defender onto shin but even then not so sure.

    8 - Pedri

    Defender was angry as he got toe to it and it bounced off Pedris shin and onto his foot. Clearly gets a touch on it. The trajecgtory clearly changes. You have zero clue if think Pedri created that action from foot to shin back to foot. If you cant see defender touch ball thats on you but he...

    8 - Pedri

    Exactly. What do folk think he did there? Decide to control it onto from foot to shin back to foot? No chance. At end of it he adjusts well to situation but it was fortunate bounce that pissed off the defender.

    Camp Nou

    Exactly what I was going to say. Large buildings dont get shut down every time safety legislation gates changed and doesnt comply. Regardless this doesnt show that anyway all it shows is one narrow exit.

    8 - Pedri

    Not the ball comes off he defenders toe quite clearly. Pedri was trying to flick it over his leg but defender touched it onto his shin then hit foot. It changes the trajectory completely from Pedri flicking it over his leg to bouncing onto Pedris shin and down onto his foot. Not deliberate...

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Martin last few games been getting a wee bit above his station and losing balls in situations he doesnt have ability to pull off. Needs to get back to simple stuff or going to be giving away more chances when plays.
