17yo centreback looking his age, not helped by the suicidal high line to be fair.
La Liga 2024/25
- Thread starter carvajal
- Start date
Highly risky for sure. We'll know by the end of the game if it was worth it
Genuinely feels like a matter of time before a run is perfectly timed.
Barca in these last 3 games have been as open as Spurs were vs Chelsea last year.
Bellingham was La Liga POTY last season. Bit of a slow start to this season in terms of goals but he’s consistently been one of their top performers since he joined them.
Angie Flick
Another one 
Apart from this season
Militao has no subtlety to his game
Is this the standard Coldplay logo? It really looks like shit
Either way, it's a lot more entertaining than the PL equivalent of the last couple of seasons, where City and Arsenal compete to see who can fit the most CBs and DMs on the pitch and commit the most tactical fouls without getting booked.
Ref forgot his cards at home
Are we going to have a record for offsides in a match?
No way this is offside
Yeah but on the whole, he’s been fantastic.
I like it. Even if they lose they still had a plan and are bold enough to execute it and use a lot of young players. Madrid will probably win but I wish we had a bit more a plan like Barcelona, although I don’t like Barcelona.
It would help Real Madrid if they had a CM who can make a good pass whether on the floor or aerially
Madrid have had the most random captains those past few years. Nacho? Vazquez?
I think they have a tradition that the captain is just the longest serving player?
El Faulico
Too many fouls in this game
A technical abomination this game
Raphinha being captain of Barca is surely weirder.
Rather him than Sergi Roberto like we were seeing not so long ago
Jude wastes a lot of energy with idiotic pressing on his own
The quality of football in this game has been fecking shocking. Both teams just hoofing it forwards half the time. The other half has just been fouls.
What a frustrating first half. That offside trap is activated again and again. And when it isn’t, we suck at finishing. Not giving away a lot of chances but far from good.
We need to play some rugby here. Just punt it to the corners and go press them high
Shades of Burnley vs Wolves
No, it's fan made.
Madrid is playing better so far. Kind of weird because their games this season have been a borefest but I guess they get more motivation when they play us.
I think Madrid have been slightly better. At some point, it feels as though Vinicius will strike.
Madrid easily been the better side and you feel that they'll pick the offside trap atleast once. The good thing for Barca is that they haven't really gotten going at all in attack so they can only get better.
Love barcas young team and their style
You sure? Flashscores as Barca as the dominant team
Very good game so far.
Madrid have definitely had the better of chances. Barca haven't completely gotten going so far and their attack has been quiet.
I’d hate it if we played a high line like Barca. We’d get picked apart whenever we play any of the decent Premier league teams.
Seen it with Spurs and Villa last couple of years who’ve both tried to play like this. Also, Liverpool a few years ago. Just never works in this league.

Our boy Frankie coming on…
FDJ coming on is probably a good move and should help Barca get some control of midfield. The experience could also be key today.
