I think everyone elite manager or not knew Cubarsi and Eric vs Mbappe was borderline insane and doomed to failElite Managers are always the best pundits. It's delightful to hear Wenger analyze games.

MATS missed near enough all season.
Bernal did his ACL.
Christensen missed near enough all season.
Araujo missed first half of season.
Frenkie not fit until 2nd half of season.
Gavi the same.
Plenty others missed large parts.
Who was out injured for Real in the 'league decider' for example?
Watching this again Barca were trying something different on picking up the full backs when attacking.
Wonder if this was brought on by PSG game and how much Real use theirs.
Looked like when ball went to opposition full back the attacking players didnt follow them but the Barca full backs pushed up to them early to mark while the attacking players went narrower to prevent easier balls into midfield.
Almost like let them have the ball in areas can try to control the next action as opposed to trying to close them down and follow in a frenzied/chaotic situation.
It actually worked well enough for most part.
Barca really didnt play that badly yesterday all things considered.
Shaky with balls into box and quick counters still but tactically were decent enough.
Barca win that game if have calmer head in final third.
Would love to have seen Yamal in at AM while game was open. They were leaving Fermin wide open in that area at expense of closing Pedri/FDJ and the wide players.
There is scope for a fluid front 4 for Barca if Rashford/Yamal and Raphinha all play.
Can move about to different roles as see fit v opposition.
What an utter ridiculous statement towards an 18 year old, who was a clear starter in last season's domestic treble and is one of the most valued CBs in the world. Some people should better stay out of forums and return back to the Muppets on Facebook and Twitter to keep hyping / insulting players according to their last game.While I agree Cubarsi are nowhere near good enough
Scandalous penalty, as is customary for them. No other team in the world gets that. Luckily Tek denied the corruption.
Customary red card for opposition? Check.
Clear elbow and foul on Cubarsi for the winner.
Should have been a penalty at the end there on Araujo as well.
Made out they were the victims because they weren't allowed to score 2 offside goals despite getting another scandalous penalty and red card for the opposition.
Standard stuff at the home of Ocean's 11.
In reality they weren't down 2 goals.In reality, you are down two goals in first 12 minutes without VAR intervention.

Frenkie is the only powerhouse in this list. Meanwhile:
Carvajal ACL for most of the season.
MIlitao with his second ACL for the most of the season.
Mendy out for most of the season due to muscle related injuries.
Alaba ACL in 23/24, and being a non-factor for 24/25 due to injuries.
Rudiger playing injured for a couple of months with knee problems.
That˙s just defense.
