You see him more than I do, so please take my comments with a grain of salt. Whenever I see Barca Gavi is diving, complaining and cynically fouling while pretending to be a hard man.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss United's last 3 games - two much-needed wins vs. Burnley in the Premier League and Palace in the League Cup, as well as a the 4-3 loss away at Bayern. They discuss the defence, new options in midfield with Hannibal and Amrabat now in contention and look forward to games vs. Palace (again!) and Galatasary.
this is incredible to watch
Big scandal is coming from El Cofidencial.

Good lineup. Torres gets rewarded for his good performances lately and we see both Joao's for the first time starting. And after a very long time, we see finally the 433 again.
edit funfact: Betis has 5 barca youth players in their starting lineup, barca has 3

Xavi dropping the 442?
Hopefully we get a fun game.
Commentator just said that the parents of the kids who just had their photo taken with the players, needed to pay for it. Please say it ain’t so

Joao Felix with a good finish from a tight angle to put Barca ahead.
Well done by Felix, good cross too.
Isco’s body has given up but you can still see his class on the ball. Betis very poor.

Lewandowski makes it 2-0 after a great dummy from Felix.
Felix has a great game so far.
Incredible performance by Barca today, wow. Amazing what abandoning the 4-4-2 can do for you
Moreno Brandao is a sex pest ?
The news has already come out, it was talked about in the media 30 minutes in each program and it has already been forgotten.
If it had happened to Barcelona, the media would be talking about 15 days minimum.
Love watching Mason again. What a talent he is.
Sergio Ramos starter for Sevilla in a league game for the first time in 18 years.
Kubo is destroying Madrid.
When did Tierney go over to Sociedad?
Bit of a random one that, thought he'd have better offers. Did very well for the opener. Sociedad seem to have good management - they always sign good players unwanted at other clubs. Kubo only cost £5m or so.
Kubo is taking the piss... Nutmeg on Kroos and all over Madrid's defence. They can't contain him.
Saka/Kubo RW please Mr Kroenke

I think La Liga might be the foreign league I watch this season. Between Greenwood and Bellingham I think there's enough reason for me to watch. Watched a fair bit of Serie A last season for Napoli and for Inter when they won the league, Bundesliga when Sancho was there. £15 a month for a few months of Viaplay is a bit pricey but they seem to have a good app so I reckon I'll signup.
Fran García is not good enough to be starter, and it's not his first bad match.
If he continues like this Carletto will end up putting on Nacho or Alaba.
I think Rodrygo is feeling the pressure of having to score now that Vini is out.

Meh, just too early for Madrid to score. 80th minute equalizer by Rodrygo followed by a 93rd minute winner by Bellimgham or Valverde.
Rodrygo has to deal with that pressure, we cannot depend on Bellingham to save our arses every game, and Joselu's role is to be an aerial threat in the last 20 minutes of the game rather than anything.
Wow, Valverde. What a shot.
The exact instant I was putting more money on Madrid to win at 3/1, Valverde scores. Meh.
Fran decided to improve after hearing your criticism
2-1

Almost Bellingham!!!
Whatever, still a win for Midfield FC.
Not a good game at all, RSO got things right. Hopefully it is just the break that slowed things down. That being said we really need to fix the defense.
Carvajal having his Benzema-esque season? Haven’t seen him this good for quite a long time.
I miss Vini.

Carvajal was the best in this game imo.
So far...
Bellingham 5 goals.
Joselu 2 goals.
Valverde 1 goal.
Vinicius 1 goal.
Rodrygo 1 goal.
60% of goals come from midfield, just 40% from the strikers, although it's fair to say Vinicius could have contributed more had he been available.
Girona having an amazing start, currently 4-1 up v Mallorca after 50 minutes. They remind me of Brighton with how they play.
Amazes me for all the years Yangel Herrera was a Man. City player he never went to a prem club on loan, would be perfect fit for many clubs as box to box midfielder who can mix it physically.

Its the hope that kills, all that for nothing.
You cannot say that as a Madrid fan given you guys score late winners in like 80 percent of your matches!!

Yeah that is kinda our thing. Those thieves!
Tuned in for the last 20min or so, fun game. Great goals by Barca. Cancelo is a weird one. He offers a lot going forward but isn’t convincing defensively. Guessing that’s the reason the likes of Pep/Tuchel didn’t mind him leaving.
We could have used him, pity he isn't a midfielder though.
It was the only good part of the game, the rest was awfully boring. I'm surprised how good both Cancelo and Félix are performing given they both were rejected by two teams each.
You guys did this week in and week out in 2017 and 2020, with crazy comebacks or grinding out very late 1-0 wins. I get the frustration but it’s gone both ways
