Well, they do get in front of goal quite often and don't convert enough in those CL KOs eliminations. See how they were mugged at the beginning of the season away at PSG. So yeah, a goal machine should be the last piece of the puzzle.

CL is about luck right now for Pep. He's been knocking at the door of a CL win for the past few years. Pep could leave this Summer, a guy like Pochettino or even some bigger bum comes in and wins it first try. See Di Matteo.

Not unless he flops. Raiola out of the way means that he will probably opt for a saner agent. And City/PSG don't sell unless they want to.

Yes it is. 2nd gets to play in that Pique masterminded tournament. So 8m or so in the bank guaranteed.

Swap FDJ for Rodri and we have our Busquets replacement.

Lol. That's a game when they were pressured at the end and they held on. Atletico would have just taken the game to ET if they scored. Could also say Atletico got lucky they didn't concede more in Manchester or in the first half of the Madrid game. Was thinking about Real Madrid kind of 'lucky'.

What about it?

His contract with them expires this summer anyway no?

Good for him then. Barca doesn't want to be associated with attention grabbing whores either.

He was top goalscorer for Uruguay in the WC qualifiers so he will probably start for them in Qatar. No way he is coming here to sit on the bench, will look for playing time somewhere else.

City would be challenging for 2nd or 3rd in EPL if Guardiola is not there. Thing is Pep has been an unlucky manager after leaving Barcelona. Hardly can remember a CL KO moment when City got lucky and went through.

teams will roll over just by seeing the lineup. :mou:

Both are better GKs than Ter Stegen. But the double standards used in here are comical to say the least. Courtois makes some decent/good saves the other day and he's suddenly the golden standard of GKs. All the while conceding the Mahrez goal at his near post like an amateur. But that's brushed...

Wasn't Courtois laughed at just a couple of months ago for some blunders? Seems that you're only as good as your last performance. Alisson was a bum at the start of this season. If he has a good performance in the CL final and wins it then I guess Courtois will be history. Nobody is talking...

Why would 'self-respecting Barca fans' hate Pep? Just because he doesn't want to return here as manager?

If we had Ferran 3 seasons ago, people in here would be moaning that Suarez is a tyrant for yelling at kids like Ferran and their development stagnates because of it. We've seen how the shackles have been lifted after Messi tyrant left and all our forwards were free to express themselves...

Where are all the Eto'o fans in here saying he is an absolute legend. Just another money/attention hungry whore. He went to Dagestan for money FFS.

This. Grealish scores in the 86 min and it's all deservedly over. Ancelotti subs in Rodrygo who scores 2 and he's suddenly a genius while Pep a fraud.

Tbf he brought on multi million players like Sterling and Grealish and they looked like bums. Yesterday he had the approach to selection and tactics than every keyboard manager was crying for.

People calling Guardiola a fraud need to get their heads examined.
