Raphinha was a huge miss today. There are some chances,like the Fermin one,that I think he buries. Ferran was good but benching Lewandowski was also a bit surprising by Flick. Frenkie too.

This young Barcelona team still doesn’t know how to play knockout football. Can’t manage games properly & stamp their authority. They also aren’t clinical and their high-line exposes them badly. They’ve still got a lot to learn & grow.

Araujo. Smh.

This ain‘t the 2016 esque Simeone bus I was expecting. He‘s become woke

Barcelona never learn man. Lost the 1st leg due to a red card. Are potentially going to lose the 2nd leg for the same reason. Barcelona’s defence limits the potential of this team. Their inability to kill off the game when Atleti were there for the taking is also costing them.

Bradley Barcola. Real winger!

Ous 😮‍💨🤌🏾🔥

Red card incoming? 🤦🏾‍♂️

Not sure why Barcelona are playing like they are winning.

🚨 Peter Drury: “The footballing Gods saw Messi and Ronaldo close to retirement and decided to bless us with this boy.”

Nico Gonzalez makes so much sense for this Barcelona side.

WC gone kanje? 🫲🏾

However,I believe he is better suited at CB. Cancelo at RB & Balde at LB. Not sure if this means that the midfield will be under more pressure to defend but I’d like to see that set up.

I’ll never understand why Jules Kounde,a player that can play as a CB,will always be played as a RB. To an extent,I understand that his 1v1 defending helps the team because Yamal does not track back & he is not expected to forage forward.

Tjo.

Lamine trivela assists are cash-money!

@Greenthoughts42 I’m surprised he lasted this long. He really doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.

@___STxN Because he has no cooking clue what he is doing. I need him gone!!!

Mo Salah immediate impact. I don’t know how Arne decided to bench him for such a big fixture.

That was too easy for Atleti. Flick’s high line is exposed once again.

Atleti are there for the taking. Barcelona just need to manage this game properly & not allow Atleti to turn it into a chaotic,physical game. That’s the only way Atleti come back from this. Barcelona’s technical quality is way above Atleti’s — they’ll definitely win here.
