They will never win the CL under Valverde. They will go out swiftly in the knock-out phase
Barcelona have started poorly. Messi not doing much.
"Would have been a foul on FIFA!"
Messi wow so close
Messi hits the bar.
Great move by Messi.
Messi hits the crossbar
Hahaha that pass from Dembele.
Pique, Busquets and Vidal looks like they’re pensioners out there. Literally looks like their bodies are hurting when they run (or jog rather, judging by their «speed»).
How Barca haven’t got rid off Valverde yet?
De Jong is such a gem
Messi and Pique chances
Disagree on Vidal, the other two yes.
They have so many matches on the clock they do seem to pick and choose when they put in max effort now. Busquets is sleep walking out there. But important cogs have been lost and replaced by inferior players, exposing weaknesses.
Firmino & Mane both on the bench for us.
Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta (C), Zouma, Tomori, Alonso, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Mount, Pulisic, Abraham
Subs : Caballero, Christensen, James, Kante, Gilmour, Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi
Good to see Christensen and Kante fit enough for the bench.

This.
Apparently he had the backing of the senior players after they were knocked out by Pool. So they deserve him, I guess. Don’t think he’ll last the week if they lose tonight though.
Barcelona’s lack of defensive organization and effort in general is shocking. And it’s not like they can turn it on when it matters, what we’re seeing here is their max level. Also, every single time a midfielder are on the ball, they almost never do anything creative with it. Passing back 19/20 times. Valverde has already «killed» De Jong it looks like.
Valverde is basically spanish Moyes. you can give him prime Xavi, Pele and Maradona and he still wouldn't know what to do with them. in his first season at least they were good in defence so he had that going for him, but they're regressing in every area now. you almost can't tell the difference between them and Slavia.
Isn't Moyes the Spanish Moyes? Well, he had me fooled with his language skills.
You do not foul Messi near the penalty area.
Messi doesn't score from a freekick.
We'll be signing him if he keeps that up
Vidal scores / was offside
Who is this fati coming on for Barca?
Dembele butchers an overlap. If he’d put away that tap-in Messi handed him against Liverpool last year I believe Barca would have won the Champions League. Honestly Barca’s investment has been so poor.
RB Leipzig are two ahead at Zenith.
by the end of his contract, Valverde actually might become more hated in Barcelona than Figo was. it's like undercover Madrid fan is managing them.
Valverde doesn't have the balls to drop Busquets. Hope he never does and keeps dropping arthur
Slavia have pretty much dominated them for 160 minutes.
he heard you.
Dzyuba and Upamecano trying to fight!
He didn't, he brought on Rakitic
In fact, he left him out of the list entirely
Also damn ansu fati is good
Barca look wank to be quite frank.
Which minute Messi will decide the game?
Fati did well.. Messi with a bad miss.,
What the heck is Suarez drinking? Hot chocolate?
87th
Not to mention how Griezmann is struggling to adapt as well
early days for him yet though.
