I’ve not really seen much of Vinicius before, is he usually better than this? He just looks like a very one dimensional kick and rush merchant to my untrained eye. I was expecting something more along the lines of a young Ronaldinho.

Feel like Dembele is a bad fit for Uefacelona, he's forced to give up too much of his strong sides, his individuality in order to fit in.
He wouldn't be the only one under Valverde. In the case of Dembele, I feel he needs some structure and he still finds moments to play his game which is a much needed change of direction from Barcelona's game from time to time. Obviously this game isn't a good example of that, but I don't think he was as bad as some here try to make it seem.

I love Vinicius' motor and heart.

If it wasn't for Modric Real could field 5 defenders and 5 forwards, no need for midfielders and no difference to what they serve.

Fair enough, I wouldn’t expect an 18yo to be consistently putting in worldie performances every week. Which was why I asked whether tonight is representative of what he’s usually about?

Pique done his hamstring. Barca still got one sub haven't they?

Still 4 months with Solari. A limbo in which we will talk about signings until the end of the season.
Bale very upset the other day and today again with a shit match.
I don't know why Mariano does not play more minutes
Vini as always trying the 1vs1 but I think that in these three matches Piqué has been very superior

Pique was immense, that was the best defensive performance by Barca on the season. Well deserved result.

I think for interim he's done o.k. Not as eye catching as OGS but he has secured Madrid safely in top 4 when they looked in fair bit of doubt when he took over.

Everyone knew it was just a holding appointment until end of the season.

I’m assuming that’s the guy on Bein sports? Used to do La Liga on Sky I think. What an absolute belter. It’s like having a guy at the pub screaming next to you for every tackle or shot.

Honestly how is he allowed to commentate? Just screams and then does a long sigh when the ball goes just wide.
Yeah thats him. He's an absolute weapon.

The absolute state of Real Madrid right now.. Total lack of organisation and tactical idea.. Solari should be sacked immediately!

Pique and Lenglet with a masterclass. Didn’t help that Madrid kept crossing to the ghost of Ronaldo.

Vidal completely shut down Madrid’s left side once he came on, what a warrior. Must have had 10 tackles in 20 minutes.

Hudson was never on Sky.

I'm amazed there must actually be people who like his co-comms somewhere in the world seeing as ESPN or whoever he works for keeps employing him.
