We had arguably the best club team of the past 25 years. Look at it this way, Spain's core was that Barca team. Without Messi, they still managed to win two Euros and a World Cup. There were some truly undeserved losses in the CL during Pep's time. Inter 2010 and Chelsea 2012. Just inches away...

^IIRC, Maxwell was cheap and was a very decent backup fullback. He was just as good, if not better than Adriano who had way too many injuries in his career here.

Too much partying/drinking/bad diet I would assume. Just my assumption. To play at the highest level you need to take very good care of your body. The game is also a lot more cardio intensive now too so having a lifestyle like Ronaldinho is rare.

Is there second leg?

How is Inter up there? Weren't they bankrupt after Winning CL and that Italian president left?

Wonder what Catalinutz's posts would look like if Messi goes to PSG "Let's hope Messi the GOAT scores vs Dijon Mustard" Oh wait, this is barca forum and not psg forum

A backline of Alba-Lenglet-Umtiti-Mingueza/Dest is scary to imagine going up against Neymar and Mbappe. It could get really ugly. Umtiti-Lenglet have a hard time keeping up with Segunda wingers 1 vs 1. Mbappe easily runs past most Ligue 1 defenders I've seen him against. Neymar, a whole another...

El Pistolero is really saving them or it would be a top 3 fight for La Liga

You are making it seem as though Bayern humiliation is far worse than Roma and Liverpool. This is not true at all. Also it's hard to determine how much of it Setien's fault considering he had very little control of the squad at the time.

This is an extremely optimistic view of the situation. Yes it was a 1 goal difference in both Roma and Liverpool, but you can't just lose a 2 goal and 3 goal lead so easily. That's downright embarrassing even for Arsenal. He was great in the league and I don't think anyone is debating that...

It was a huge error by the board not firing EV at the end of the 18/19 season. Just horrible planning. I can't blame Setien too much because he only had a few months to prepare like BarcaOG mentioned.

I don't see Juventus sacking Pirlo, even if he loses Serie A. France NT is already a well oiled machine with Deschamps so not sure why they would replace him. I could see him just taking a sabbatical after RM and wait until a spot opens up in a big club (ala Pep).

The greatest, the GOAT. Bow down

I could actually see him going to Japan and joining Iniesta at Vissel Kobe.

Very lucky today. He would have been crucified if the defender wasn't behind him.

Rested Messi = Good Messi

Holy shit what a goal
