Today we face the 4-time defending Copa champions Barcelona without Messi & Dembele, 2 members of this supposed “new trident.” Advantage? Well, we also had a supposed advantage vs Real Madrid this weekend. I ain’t expecting much from this, I just want to see us compete. Here is the starting XI:
Interesting lineup. Let’s see what happens. I’m glad Amadou is starting. Let’s hope he bosses and allows Banega to do less pointing and more footballing.
It wasn’t obvious? I mean I didn’t think it was obvious. He extended the arm but it still hit his shoulder and not the arm. It would have been harsh to give that.
We got bossed by a Barça team with no end product. I guess it took these guys time to realize that we’re actually playing in the RSP and took the game to them, with WBY leading the charge. More of that last 10 minutes please? But can we at least start the half that way??
Still 0-0. Still 3 halves of football left in this tie. We must make the most of the next 45 minutes.
