The example of Yamal and Pedri doesn’t make sense though, they are a big part of the team but they couldn’t carry a relatively inexperienced squad to the trophy. I mean Yamal did do a huge mistake by taking a shot relatively late in the game when we needed to defend and keep the ball. Pedri was...- RedxMAK

I agree that we were capable of being good enough to beat those teams but we collapsed. But football doesn’t work like that, yes despite us being good enough to beat them we couldn’t because we weren’t ready yet. Failure is the first step of success, you have to be able to gain experience in...- RedxMAK

The point is when you consider the squad we had in the last 3 European eliminations, although they do look like humiliations, it kind of makes sense. The squad is still developing and still learning. They need to gain experience and understand how to deal with the Champions League to be able to...- RedxMAK

@JamDav1982 For context, the 2006 CL winning team in the 2 year period before the CL went out to Chelsea in 2005 despite being in the same level and out to Celtic in 2004 despite genuinely having the better team. These European eliminations on paper are humiliations and everything but when you...- RedxMAK

Going from group stages to quarter finals to semi finals in a 3 year period with an really young core is an improvement nevertheless.- RedxMAK

The red card was the reason for collapse and everyone knows that Barcelona is not a team that can defend viciously like Chelsea 2012 or Inter 2010. I’m telling you that the red card was the only reason they qualified in the first place. Barcelona was the better team before the red card and only...- RedxMAK

1. I agree regarding the Frankfurt point, but we did try to come back late in the game and it ended 3-2. This wasn’t helped by our cowardly socios who sold their tickets to the Frankfurt fans and we basically played an away game at home. 2. I do not see that the players really cared for the...- RedxMAK

All of the European underachievement was caused by the fact that we had an extremely young core who rarely played UCL games thus explaining the 2nd UCL group stage exit. The qf exit was just us sabotaging ourselves by getting that stupid red card and the sf exit was us sabotaging ourselves again...- RedxMAK

Does Barca deserve better president?
Look, I am not saying he is perfect or anything, but all the success that we have got from the last 5 years are mostly due to him. Yes it is frustrating to see us not being able to register players easily after 5 years but maybe this is due to the club’s financial situation being portrayed...- RedxMAK

This is the return of one of Europe's underrated rivalries.
