Damn it Barca, this is why we can’t let you have nice things. You keep breaking them.

Can’t really blame for that one. It’s just a freak injury. Even tho MAtS has been sucking.

You say that but the science is pretty clear at this point. Real is good for germans and Barca is almost as bad as going to London for German players

At least playing with old man Manu has prepared our NT for GK to be a weakness...*sigh*...

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

MAtS has been great for Barca I just think he’s declined recently. He may not get back to his best I fear especially with this injury. Germany are in bigger trouble than Barca tho. As Barca can just buy a keeper

I still don't know how to judge goalie prospects but fortunately, there are a number of hyped kids starting to break through at the senior level or on the cusp of getting senior PT...Urbig, Seimen, Atubolu, Ramaj, Schmitt, Schlieck, Ernst, Backhaus etc.

We need MAtS / Baumann / Trapp / Ortega for this WM, at least, but by the next euros, one of those kids could be ready to take the job.

If only Ortega got regular games at City, I think he would be good enough for now. Certainly id well enough in the BL for a lowly club, and hasn't let anybody down in the matches he has playd for City.

Not the tallest guy for a keeper, though.

 

[luiginb]

Alaves starting Luka Romero lol, they stand no chance away at Real, who's playing their best 11 except Carvajal

I hate being right in this case, it takes Madrid 55 seconds to get ahead

 

[gary69]

Imagine being a Madrid player. You could just go up to Rudiger himself and give him a slap. That said, looks like horseplay.



Well, we'll see what happens. Bravo has already thrown his hat into the ring. De Gea came to mind, but I see he's now at Fiorentina. Valles at Las Palmas seems one we might be able to get on the cheap. For me that leaves Tenas. Donnarumma is out and Tenas still isn't playing. Also, prior to Mats' injury Tenas said he'd have signed any contract to stay at the club. I doubt PSG play ball though.

Sczeszny has said that he would be willing to come out of retirement for the opportunity to play for Barca. Could be solid choice, but would need some time to train to get into match shape.

Yes please

Vinicius still has carte blanche to protest every single refereeing decision without getting a yellow. LE: ref finally gave him a yellow FOURTH time he protested. Next play he protests again hahahahaha

Now he tried Yamal's pass from the other day with the outside of his foot but he doesn't have the necessary quality to emulate Barcelona's wunderkid

Beautiful play by Mbappe and Belligham to put Real 2-0 up

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Szczesny? Yes pleasd

 

[luiginb]

Rodrygo with a great solo effort to put the game out of reach. Alaves rested a lot of their starters, I hope Real score ten.

 

[luiginb]

Alaves subbed the starters in and now it's 3-2, funny how that works.

Vini is such a clown

Mbappe in the worst form of his career when it comes to scoring/xG.
Started in mid season last year.

Thank you for motivating him to score today.

To be fair he made a similar pass over the weekend that was in one way not as impressive and in another perhaps more impressive. Anyway, on a side note, saw a headline today that he’s going to win the Ballon.

Saw the score line when it was 3-0 and was surprised to read your post. This was at home as well.

 

[cgf]

Vini winning the BdO over Wirtz is what happens when you let the refs cheat the German NT every time we play against Spain

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Mbappé out for three weeks.

Bobby, it is your time to shine.

Guy has 7 goals in 9 games, we good.

How many from open play?

 

[luiginb]

You guys might play better with Endrick in the middle.

In other news, Barcelona signed Szczesny

 

[Scandale du Jour]

4.

He has not playing badly. Better and better with each passing games. I am not worried.
