Strange game, with foul throw early on, nicely worked corner and two screamer goals. Even if GK error for Carzola one, maybe both actually.

Ter Stegen affected by Germany nonsense with Neuer maybe.

If Messi injured even partially got to ask why he's traveling for award ceremony last night with game today?

Passes and possession almost even, Barcelona look off colour even though ahead.

Barca got the result but they were very average. Suarez looked worse than Lukaku out there.

So when Lemar starts he's crap and Vitolo comes well off the bench. When Vitolo starts he's crap and Lemar is good off the bench..

Yeah, it's pretty common and frustrating. There's a lot this team needs to work out and thankfully it's all at a time Barca are struggling.

Who starts out of Lemar/Vitolo? What's the best CB pairing? Who plays out of Herrera, Partey and Llorente? Also, Costa isn't scoring, but Morata not exactly clinical. There's a lot of quality options but Simeone needs to find his best XI soon.

I can see a scenario where in the KO stages of the CL the team goes back to Koke and Saul as the "wide" midfielders with Herrera and Partey in the middle. That way they can go for the usual keep a clean sheet at home routine.

Vini!!! Hopefully this will give him more confidence and calm him down, try a bit less and play a bit more with his teammates

Mental how Valencia didn't get a penalty there, clear handball on the line.

A friend of mine says he has issues with the limits of the pitch :lol:
:lol:

But seriously, he's just a kid who's expected to be a star for real madrid immediately and now he has to fight hard for minutes and to convince a manager who doesn't seem to trust him much. He's a nervous wreck, that's his problem

We need to get serious here though. These guys struggle when we press, they've been giving us chance after chance whenever we're a bit aggressive. Just stop screwing around and kill this off please

Ball handling was extraordinary from first touch to finish.

We completely turned off there at the end ffs

Still, second game in a row without conceding a shot on target. Militao much better compared to Paris, the effect of playing next to Sergio maybe. Early days, expect him to improve, but he already looks better than Nacho, so there is that

Did you see the Valencia one denied last night when Getafe player handled on line in 89th minute? Baffled ref didn't even go and have a look on the monitor especially considering many that are given in La Liga.

BTW just seen Aleix Vidal listed on the Alaves bench, wasn't he supposed to be good once?

Honestly...was it handball? I'm not sure exactly where the ball hits him...i think VAR thought it was shoulder. It's the only explanation honestly :lol:

the assist is so good that Oyarzabal simply has to push the ball.
He is incredibly vertical in everything he does.
We have to ask Aperribay to forget the second year of the loan
