However, in the last ten years they've won it five times to Real Madrid's four...............and that includes during Madrid's peak three-peat era!
But yes, not getting shit done in the CL is a huge detraction to their image as a giant club indeed!

Has Alvarez scored a goal yet? City pulled a blinder with that deal.
Granted he has played a lot of football and needs rest

I'm not sure what to expect from them in the CL this season. They were unimpressive in the group stage last year, then were better than PSG in the semis but bottled it. I need to see them against the likes of City, Bayern, Inter to gauge where they really at.
They had 3 of the 4 best players in the world in the greatest attack in european football history for 3 years and got 2 Leagues and 1 CL out of it. Then Messi still best player in the world 3 times a week for another 2 seasons and they dropped 3 goal leads to Roma and Liverpool starting Shaquiri and Origi
If anything, it's Barcelona who underperformed
Will be nice to see TAA leave on a free to Real.
And Saliba going is worth the meltdown of Arsenal fans!

Davies is not a fan. You broke his heart.
He's on the list too!
Goalkeepers hoarding all the action in Madrid - Espanyol.
Surely that's an xG 1.00?
Great assist by Vini, before scoring himself moments later, rapid counter attack, the team sure has pace.
Endrick managed to push his way into the box through a foul to win the penalty 
Love this kid

What an awful foul to be fair. I would have been ok with the ref awarding a pen even if it had been 5 meters from the box.Endrick managed to push his way into the box through a foul to win the penalty

Describing it as awful is very kind I'd say
Should have just let him go when he couldn't stop him.
He was a fraction of a second too late in letting goDescribing it as awful is very kind I'd say
Should have just let him go when he couldn't stop him.
You're right but I think he should have let him go earlier even. That was one of the dumbest pieces of "defending" I've ever seen.
Credit to Endrick for the strength and determination showed.
That Endrick lad is very exciting to watch. He's a bit of an agent of chaos out there.
Ter Stegen with a serious knee injury.......his season could be over.
Flick ball has well and truly arrived in La Liga
He has them running riot against everyone. Not looking good for us.
I knew Gallagher and Atleti would be a perfect match. The fans love him already, and he’s hit the ground running. Buzzing for him.
Early days but he’s doing a great job so far considering he has to rely on some of the younger players as well.
Yeah great to see him doing well. He will be the perfect player for a Simeone team.
Ter Stegen has ruptured a patellar tendon and is out for months. I know many Barca fans have been critical of him, but do they have any adequate backup?
La Liga refs are so fragile mentally
Kinda dumb from Fede. Mbappe got a yellow for the same thing just 3 days ago. Guess they don’t want those gestures this season.
Finally Mbappé meets expectations
Great goal.
Is it a bird? Is it an airplane?
No, it's Fede Valverde.
No, it's Fede Valverde.
But what a goal it was!150Mil and 7 years well worth it for a goal against Alaves
Very interesting green shoots are appearing.
Gestures not directed at a person should not be booked. You’re running for 90 minutes and your pulse is through the roof, it’s just general frustration.
I guess but if those are the new rules and they are made aware of them…this was fairly early in the game as well. Just dumb from Fede. I would understand in a high stakes game against Barca or something but need to be smarter. Got so many yellows already while barely making fouls. Not just this game either. I fear losing players just by the sheer amount of cards. Not necessary.
No matter who is the player or what team he plays for, if you can get booked for this the rules are simply wrong.
The state of the defence & keeper for that Rodrygo goal.
Ok, Rodrygo with the 3-0 now.
Yeah Alaves is just very poor. Not that we’ve been so great.
20 minutes of Endrick is enough for me.
