WTF is the point of the spray if you’re going to let them stand 3 yards in front of it??

Another incredible goal by Guedes. What's that? 5 assists and 3 goals? I really wasn't expecting it
André Silva, Cristiano, Éder; Bernardo, Quaresma, Guedes, Gelson

Seems good for Russia. Bruma will stay at home

Amazing performance by my bOy Guedes. Now he is confident of his capabilities and is playing in a system that favour him.
In the physical part of the game he is up there with the best. Once he lifts his head more often and make better decisions, he will reach a WC status.
It's nice to see that he is evolving as a player and not rooting in PSG bench. Some benfica supporters were unfair with him when he was playing some bad games and it was obvious that he felt the pressure and his confidence was lowered. He seems to be a nice guy and even Sporting and Porto supporters have developed some empathy with him.

He's definitely declined but he's not useless. He was pretty good against Atleti just last week. 0.6 goals per game in 2017 so far without penalties
Obviously I didn't mean literally useless(I exaggerated), but he has declined a lot.

Think Barcelona will get exposed in the CL once again.

Yup, it's clear as daylight. Apart from the Juve game they've been the definition of flattering to deceive. Courtesy of some early season form by their two top scorers, Messi and Own-goals, they've gone on an excellent run of results... but performance-wise, it's so poor especially lately. Their MF is both offensively and defensively the weakest link as they've been outshot several times this season and once again tonight by Málaga.

In their 14 official games this season, they were outshot 7 times (by RM, Juventus, Getafe, Eibar, Girona, Sporting CP and Málaga).

Spanish refs :lol:
Some refs are like robots, completely disconnected from collective thinking. Just hear to apply a few programs that's all. The ref who allowed Lingard to be abused on the touchline, wasn't even looking at the fouls but only if the ball was going past the touchline.

Ceballos,Isco and Asensio with Cristiano as a #9.
Asensio didn't play too well these last weeks.
Press is already writing that with Cristiano on the left he has to play too far from the área.
Let's see if this system works for both.

Eibar should have scored 2 by now. Ramos is hilariously entertaining to watch, it's like he doesn't even care if they concede
