Copa: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 1-4

[Horatio]

We still be building lads. Our team has improvednoverall on ball and passing though. Some nice buildups first half. We lack squad depth.

Frenkie absense also means Busquets is a ghost.

 

[Birdy]

Weakest? Because we were out of steam? Again, the injuries aside, we should not have collapsed like we did. No excuses.

This.
The first half showed that despite the injuries/subs playing that we could play well

The fact that we collapsed like that after 0-2 was embarrassing and it's totally on Xavi.
After 0-2 Madrid could have scored another 6 FFS.
Everybody lost their minds
That's unacceptable

That result is an absolute embarrasment to the club.

They cant look that bad and that disorganised v Real.

Far too many players that Xavi rates too highly in there and unlikely to be addressed this summer.

 

[Barcilliant]

Wonder what dumb excuse Xavi will come up with now?? Every team has injuries,every team loses but we always manage to collapse under pressure . It's almost routine nowadays. It doesn't matter who plays.

It's classic Barca mentality since the Valverde days or perhaps even a little before that.
We just can't handle being down a goal like a proper team. We shit our pants and concede many more.
Madrid is the opposite, they don't play worse when being down, they keep doing their best, whatever that is at that point.

 

[Birdy]

What is infuriating is that Madrid were NOT GOOD at all...

Yet, we opened up for them after 0-2 that they could score as many as they wished

 

[serghei]

Madrid were not good.

Are you serious?

This.

Too much sugarcoating over the fact that we gave up a 1-0 first leg away win, and conceded 4 at home while not creating 1 clear chance.

We are a 1-0 team and if the opposition score 1, struggle immensely.

Not good enough as it has been a consistent feature over 2 seasons of knockout games. Xavi in-game management and half time reaction to adversity is non-existent.

Sets up well but doesn't adapt. Fine for 38 games against the shite teams of Spain, but consistently lacking in the big cup ties.

 

[Birdy]

Madrid were not good.

Are you serious?

Please!
I don't have mood for your shitty excuse load for Xavi or whoever

Have the decency to shut the fuck up some times

 

[Jaguar]

Madrid were NOT GOOD at all..

First half we were in control, but they were still definitely above average. Second half they outclassed Barcelona in every position. Open your eyes, accept and move on brother.

We collapsed mate.
They didn't outclass shit
We opened up inexplicably and gave them free goals with every ball they played at our backline

Learn to understand the difference

 

[Horatio]

We have a few players that are barca unworthy or played at a very subpar level.

I liked Balde still.

 

[Nazario1985]

a bang average Madrid shaming us at home ...

They can play, but they can't start in a decisive game like this vs one of Europe's best teams.

 

[ronniecro]

we will bottle league now too
