@BBCSport He must loosen up a bit. It’s just football. Some people use it to escape the realities of life. Let them be.

Send Rashford back to Manchester United. He is useless

@israel_ajoje On point. “The best European sides adapt. They win ugly when ugly is required. They manage games. They hold leads.” In Europe it’s all about going out there and getting results. Flick is naive if he thinks he will win the Champions League with this style.

This is not bad luck. Bad luck happens once or twice. What Barcelona have been doing in the Champions League for a decade is a pattern, and patterns have explanations.
Since their last European trophy in 2015, Barcelona have played ten Champions League campaigns. They have not won a single one. They have not even got to the final in any They have collapsed from winning positions against Roma and Liverpool.They lost 8-2 to Bayern Munich in a single-leg quarter-final. And tonight, they added another chapter.
They lost 2-0 at home to Atletico Madrid in the first leg, won 2-1 at the Metropolitano, and went out 3-2 on aggregate. Against the same Atletico side that knocked them out in 2016.
Since the beginning of last season, no club in the Champions League has conceded more goals than Barcelona. 43 before tonight. 45 by the final whistle. They had conceded in 14 consecutive Champions League matches going into this second leg, and they extended that run.
No Spanish side has ever gone 15 Champions League games without a clean sheet. Barcelona have now done it. A club that built its identity on controlling games and controlling spaces cannot keep the ball out of its own net in Europe's biggest competition.
And that is the identity crisis at the heart of this. Barcelona are not a bad team. They are nine points clear at the top of La Liga. They score freely, they press intelligently, and Lamine Yamal is one of the best players on the planet.
But the Champions League has repeatedly exposed something that domestic football hides. Against teams who have specifically prepared to stop them, who defend deep, transition fast, and punish the spaces Barcelona's high line leaves behind, the philosophy breaks down.
The best European sides adapt. They win ugly when ugly is required. They manage games. They hold leads.
Barcelona have been trying to win the Champions League the Barcelona way for ten years. The Champions League keeps winning back.
Let me know what you think.
