Let me know if there are any mistakes, or if there’s something you want me to change
Marcos Alonso own goal incoming
I expected some changes to the system by Xavi, interesting strikerless formation though.
Pretty sure Felix is just not going to get any calls in his favour today.
Yamal, bruh, that was it
Fouls on Felix are legal, just FYI.
I love how Sancet’s dribbling technique is just to keep running into Barça defenders and use the rebound to win the ball on the other side of them
It’s my strategy. Go in and hope for the best
Injuries are going to happen if the ref allows such plays
“Better drink my CapriSun first!” jk
another pen not given
Uhhh thats a trip
God fucking dammit, please tell me Araujo is fine…
Seems as though Athletic don’t have as much trouble finding goals as they did last season and they’re doing decent. But they often get thrashed when they go to Barcelona so even if they’re missing a lot of players, I don’t expect anything less than a 3-0 here.
Ferran is honestly so disappointing. All that shark talk is aging like milk
Anyone know why Lamine isn’t in the starting XI for Barça?
I know I didn’t see Fermin try and line up a bicycle kick
