Champions League 25/26

Valverde is playing an unreal match.

Hope he gets a hattrick would be historic

One of the most irritating things about football is seeing one team trying to build the play and the other team usually just breaking into space on transitions.

It almost feels like - in big games - the team with much less possession often wins because it's easier to break into space and score than it is to break down a deep defence.

Not talking so much about this game (definitely the first goal) but those games Barca lost against Chelsea, home leg v Inter in 2010, some games against Real etc.

I wouldn't feel happy playing in a team that just concedes possession and relies on moments. You can never really feel like you're the superior, dominant side.

Valverde is playing an unreal match.

Hopefully they put him back out of position at RB as soon as possible.

Valverde is playing an unreal match.

Unreal by his own standards.

I was reading that from bottom to top and I thought it said negro dna. I was what the fuck?

why have possession when you can counter-attack with acres of space. Just two or three world class players and a solid defensive shape is all it takes to win this competition.

Because Pep is stubborn like Flick

Such a pity seeing such an expensive team playing counter-attacking football tho. No shame whatsoever.

 

[FCBfan22]

Chelski scored, I see.

All the "philosophers" of Football are incredibly stubborn and dogmatic

Yeah also they started triple teaming Doku who was City's biggest threat in those first mins
