CL R16 game 2: Barca - Newcastle

[JamDav1982]

De Jong is a dissapointment in CL big nights for years. Why this time would have been different?

Frenkie and Pedri dominated Newcastle last time out.

A stronger Newcastle in better form.

Last season Frenkie was best player with/after Yamal in CL semi final v Inter.
Was the best player after Pedri in QF win over Dortmund.
Was with Pedri the best two as Barca won away to Benfica with 10 men in last 16.

Pedri was average and frustrated v Newcastle. He had no help and largely relegated to some nice turns in areas couldnt hurt Newcastle and didnt pass ball all that well as under so much pressure.

FDJ was sorely missed, and it's obvious for anyone we control games best when both him and Pedri are on the pitch. Nobody was reall helping Pedri much, and There's also a video of Pedri letting it all out on Lewa.
