UEFA Super Cup - Barcelona vs Sevilla (7:45PM BST Kick Off)
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
I love Rakitic and he's likely not even their 5th best player.
Shit. So that is football huh ?
Good game this.
Barcelona have been breathtaking so far. Absolutely stunning football.
suarez misses a sitter then he serves the goal to rafinha
Suarez misses a one on one but did well to set up Rafinha.
Doh, even when they save it, they don't save it 
3-1, very good match so far.
Rakitic is different from Xavi, but he was amazing from start of 2015. It was apt that he got a goal in CL final. Seriously a steal for 18m..
Suarez would nutmeg a mermaid
Just about to type "that was poor from Suarez", then decided to wait in case he did something with the ball, and he sets up the goal
Can anyone see Real stopping this lot? I can't.
Me too, really like watching him. I think it's his face, he just doesn't look like a Barca player and that's so endearing for some reason
made me laugh
ah to think we have both Modrić and Rakitić.
And Kovačić.
Ah it feels good.

Ah it feels good.
Not at all. I really wonder about Ronaldo under Benitez and Barca are just proven class.
Surprised not more was done with them at the World Cup
the season is yet to start and Messi is already taking the piss
I can't recall when was the last time barca played against fully fit team in europe..
This Sevilla team looks ridiculous, midfielders playing CB's, no pressing, they look lost because they are lost.

18m for Rakitic is daylight robbery.
He took a little time to fit in but now he's a proper Barca player. A very intelligent player.
Yeah, some real quality to the match despite no Neymar to finish off a number of Barcelona attacks. Sevilla continue to impress, legitimate power in Europe that lack a proper striker without Bacca
Strange to see no Xavi out there
this on telly anywhere?
Was just gonna say this.
Im not entirely sure some of the Sevilla players on the pitch are fully fit though. Still its been a good game and Sevilla have had their chances.
Problem is Rakitić played there as a holding mid, not closer to the goal as it should be. And we were awful against Mexico. Our mid is fantastic but other than Perišić we dont have a proper winger (Olić plays as RW), forwards Mandžukić and Kramarić and defense is poor.
Luckily few good talents are emerging, Ćorić, Pjaca, Vlašić, Balić..
So Barca won 2 European cups, let go of a legendary manager, lost another due to illness, fired one other, turned over half their starting line up and came back to win another European cup while looking this good all in the span of 3 years.
I guess it helps to have the greatest player ever.

So good. People saying they aren't all that and the opposition aren't fully fit etc are delusional they are just on another planet.
So many ić(s).
Boy they're lucky.
And mere 7 months ago people were talking about crisis there.
Its most common ending to a surname here.
I remember in Rakitić thread some saying he doesnt belong there and he sticks out cause he's not on the same level.
Thought so. Just wondering if your name ends in an ić too?Its most common ending to a surname here.
Yes, there was a match, I don't remember which one, if they didn't win it Luis Enrique would have been fired.
BTSport Europe.
Barcelona have said they won't accept anything less than 30m euros.
Madness. Rakitic is a great fit especially for this front three. He plays the ball early, is direct and can do a bit of everything. Very versatile.
