@David4684461990 @BouafifNour But Barca was at their best? Quick to downplay the success of a good side just to fit into your narrative lmao

@_60THIRD @BouafifNour Madrid that was not at their best

I feel like a lot of fans have just defaulted to blaming the high line and saying Flick didn’t adjust it in big games, but what does ‘adjusting the high line’ actually mean? It doesn’t mean abandoning it completely and sitting deep for 90 minutes. It means varying your approach, dropping into a mid-block at times and pressing again based on triggers. And that’s exactly what Barça did after the second goal. As you can see in this picture which was the very start of Atleti's attack before their goal, the team was already in a mid-block with a deeper line and no constant press. Then Atleti get a throw-in, Lookman has a heavy touch and plays it backwards, that’s a clear pressing trigger, so the team steps up. That’s not poor management, that’s textbook modern football. If you completely drop off, you hand control and momentum to Atleti and allow them to play freely. Flick did adjust, and he did it logically. But when you miss 2-3 easy chances to kill the tie away from home, football punishes you. That's not a system failure, that's the reality of elite competition.

@David4684461990 @BouafifNour “PSG only played high press when they won the ball” are you even listening to yourself? Do even have an idea what high pressing means? 😭

@BouafifNour Psg only played high press when they won the ball not when they are defending

@David4684461990 @BouafifNour Forgetting we beat Madrid in a cup final?

@BouafifNour Do you know that we have still not win any big team this season because they know our weaknesses if I am wrong prove me,we have been struggling since the start of champions league

@David4684461990 @BouafifNour And is that Flick’s fault???

@BouafifNour Pedri didn't follow his man he was left behind by lorente

@Gs8_krisS @flickanator @BouafifNour I’m so perplexed we have all these people calling themselves curlers lmao, easy to sabotage a coach who’s brought back our dignity and respect sigh

@flickanator @BouafifNour “give pep this team and he brings us to UCL final all day” stop that nonsense man, explain to us why Pep was eliminated by Atlético after inheriting a Bayern at its peak, left by Jupp Heynckes, with Robben and Ribéry Bastian and co. ????

@flickanator @BouafifNour We hear you coach, now go get the job…

@BouafifNour Martin n cubarsi would work better in a typical possession mid block based formation instead of direct highline. Just tell me how many times have we caught opponent defenders offside compared to last year, he forces shit and stubborn to make change that won't win u a ucl.

But but we have “15 UCLS” is going trophy-less for the second straight season 😭😂

😭😭😭😭😭
