yeah. the two goals I was referencing were the second and third, I think? second goal he was completely missing from right back and I think the third goal he tried to Shepard it out for a goal kick but Lewa got it back because there wasn’t enough momentum on the ball.
Champions League Knockouts (12 Aug - 23rd Aug)

I would kill to have Kimmich at United. What a player.
I thought it was universal?
Even more braindead when its for generational talents like Davies. Why doesnt every team just have an Alphonso Davies?It seems people can't praise a player without putting one of ours down.
I think they only did it because they got some money back.
Nobody was paying money for arthur in this market.
How can Coutinho play against his parent club?!
The Coutinho Barcelona sham is even more horrific and embarrassing than Alexis Sanchez at Manchester United. Staggering.
I agree. He's run the show. Has a great 'footballing brain'.
Because the games moved on and the modern day top full back needs to be able to do more than just defend. Top attacking teams typically get their width from their fullbacks these days so they need to be apt going forward, more so than previous years.
Similar to how the role has changed for modern centre backs. Case in point, Chris smalling is still probably the best natural defender in the country and won't get a look in for club and country.
As totally football show said, this game is the "whoever loses gets Coutinho" cup.
I think it can happen if the parent club give the green light. I remember Lua Lua playing for Portsmouth against Newcastle because bobby robson said it was ok - only for him to score for Portsmouth in stoppage time to bag a 1-1 draw.
Do Hernandez or Pavard play much for Bayern?
Messi.
Fair enough. First time I've seen that happen.
Barca should move for Upmecano.
Barca getting tired now.
Where's that popcorn?
Where's that popcorn?
Nah you’re not allowed block a player from playing in Europe.
Fair enough, but the chance to be on a special team like Bayern. I don't know, I'd find that hard to pass up.
Pavard does, but he is injured.
It's the equivalent of playing a game with auto-aim/aim assist, infinite ammo and health packs.
They have everything laid out for them in their league, so they can concentrate on the Champions League. Only 34 league games to play, too. They're not in danger of not-winning the league either. Could easily go another decade without losing a league title.
If ever a man deserved a goal, it's Lewandowski tonight. He's been so classy every time he's touched the ball.
Vidal is such a hardo
Alphonso Davies is not a generational talent
Trent-Alexandar Arnold is a generational full back talent, Davies is just a very good player, with potential to be world class.Why did Barca sell Arthur? He looked impressive when he first arrived.
Happens regularly. Courtois for Aleti vs Chelsea. James for Bayern vs Real to mention a couple off the top of my head.
Did you miss all the talk of Smalling and Alexis playing against us in Europa?
Best player in the world? Its either him or kdb.
Worked his socks off.
I guess so, but they desperately need a bit of energy in there. Their squad is worryingly old and they haven’t had a good signing since Suarez 5 years ago. It’s a long list of failures. Far too many mistakes and it’s going to take a very skillful job to get them back on track now.
He has turned so shit it's not even funny.
Coutinho wonder strike surely.
some have said that he has knee issues, Umtiti has as well. could make for a wonderful treatment table CB pairing.
Alphonso Davies is not a generational talent
They are both easily in the top 3 in their position in the world at 19. I'd argue that is 'generational'.
2-5 ain't 3-0. This might sound ridiculous, but if this shambolic version of FCBarcelona can score 2 against this Bayern, ...PSG and City are taking notes...
Who’s in charge of Barca? Looks like a cross between Mark Hughes and the head statue from art attack
Barcelona actually trying to defend now.
Ter stegen passing to bayern like he's their teammate.
Nope. No such thing in UEFA competitions and a lot of the bigger leagues.
6-2!!!!
So easy
The main man has scored. Deserved. Maybe not unfortunately.
