They don't have a billion dollars squad to make up for it mate. This crying about some midgets doing everything to get a point against behemots has to stop.

Just beat them and move on.

What are you talking about? What difference does it make whether they have billions or not? They play in the Spanish top league. The quality of the pitch directly affects the attractiveness of football. I have never seen such shitty pitches even in the championship. Oh, we don't have billions, let's literally plant potatoes on the pitch. Let them run on them. Excellent logic.

As long as league is OK with it, what's stopping them?

Of course it's excellent logic when you have a huge talent deficit. Is it morally adequate? They don't care.

Lets not even talk about what happens if these purposely damaged pitches end up injuring a player.

What if someone tears an ACL out there on either team? Its a safety hazard unlike the long grass or unwatered pitch tricks

Defense is same shit as last season. Attack is not clicking as well so far. Need Christensen and Kounde to get their fitness to par and start for this team, comfortably our best defenders.

Looks like a repeat of last season, but with worse defence somehow ?
Barca defense has never ever been good. Just tricks people sometimes because La Liga finishing is terrible.

Levante scored a very good goal no denying that. Barca had 4 dropped on the by Osasuna last year. It doesn't matter they aren't changing

This should be handled by a special La Liga commission.

You are proceeding from the false premise that small clubs can beat TOP clubs only due to such rat-like actions. This is a false premise.

Why do you watch football? Do you enjoy watching water-ball for 90 minutes?

What kind of attractiveness of La Liga are we talking about if we see such quality of fields.

German, English, even Italian fans laugh at this crap.

I am not even talking about the fact that on such fields the risk of injury increases many times over.

I watch football to entertain myself. Seems this match delivered on that front.

Now, should I start crying because a team like Levante uses every trick in the book to defeat a giant like Barcelona? That's what football is about really, trying to overcome everything being thrown at you.
But yeah, I forgot football these days is being played by prima donnas that need an inch perfect pitch and 10M a year salary to perform.
 
Absolutely shocking pen call that. His arm was literally right next to him against a shot that came at him. These are never given against anyone. Especially now with the supposed change in instructions to the referees and VAR officials whereby they are supposed to only interfere if it's a cleer and obvious error.

Which makes it even more shocking if a decision given the pen wasn't called on field and var thought this needed to be overturned.

Great comeback win but I'm sorry that decision is as scandalous as they come.

From this game we can learn that, those front four of, rashford, ferran, lamine and raph behind is toothless. Maybe one more go with fdj and pedri behind them all because fdj brings best out of pedri despite his golazo today.

Too much risk with that.

Cubarsi needs to learn that doesnt matter if its levante or top 5 euro clubs, cb needs to act like a fucking cb.

Balde needs to be humbled down, you're not a world class authority player, you did jack shit.

As much as i hate to say this, lamine needs lewa upfront. Lewa at least has that authority over lamine, amount of stupid attempts lamine tryed was outrageous, it doesnt matter it was levante. Position where he attempted was suicidal. You just need to be aware that you just cant start dribble everyone as soon you get the ball while your whole team is on the opposition side of the pitch.

Cant shit on rapha, he was trying his best and was everywhere.

Ferran baby shark didnt have the right amount of support in this kind of setup, but you need to fucking score when you get the perfect ball. And he had couple of good scoring opportunites. Lewa eats him alive in this kind of matches. Real fox

Araujo wont comment at all, brings bad energy.
