Today's Football 2018-19 Season

I absolutely despise them and fumed when they got to the final last year, but for some reason I’m just not that arsed about tonight, they had no right to win with that team they put it out yet they did so fair play. I think I’m just so relieved they look like finishing 2nd in the league that I couldn’t really care about the CL.

Let them have it, they’ll tell you a CL win will make up for not winning the league but it absolutely won’t, they’re absolutely devastated about losing that league (City, please don’t mess this up).

Rakitic, Messi, Suarez, Vidal and Busquets all over 30 now and dont have the legs to keep up the intensity.

Its ok when Messi saunters around the pitch if you have high energy players around him to do the off the ball work but that whole midfield/attack together is too old to cope with the high tempo. Add in Coutinho who isnt known for his work rate and fight, then you have half of your team who are not equipped for that style. They need a good refresh.

In saying that though I did expect better technical quslity on the ball from them.

It´s not a great mix away from home is it? Coutinho actually looked hardworking for Liverpool, I think you can see the difference in fitness regimes right there. It´s so hard to win a football match when the other team wants it so much more. Doesn´t matter how good you are.

That must really hurt those Barcelona players tonight. Not just losing, the fact they were outfought so much.

I think we'd all be forgiven for fearing the utter worst going into the weekend. This could still turn out to be a horror show. I practically laughed in the face of a colleague who told me they'd win 4-0 tonight.

I think this season has proved that the Spanish League is inferior to the Premier League.

I didn't think they could do it, but Roma came back from 4-1 against Barcelona last year to knock them out, and they were nowhere near as good as the rs, even without Mane and Firmino.

I think the money is really starting to make a big impact now. No chance a team like Getafe get anywhere near the Premier League top 4.

Yes but Barcelona will always win there league you get my point.

 

[stipe]

Barca, Real and Atletico spent tone of money and they gonna do it again, no difference there

Yes I know that’s why there league is so rubbish.

Hardly a rubbish, even their 2nd line teams like Sevilla and Ateltico done very good in Europe in last few years, Sevilla 3 Euro League wins and Atletico 2 Champions league finals and 2 Europa wins not to mention Real and Barca completely dominated Champions League in last decade, to say its rubbish is just silly

I agree what you.

 

[witchdoc187]

If it wasn't for their fans id say they deserved that. But their fans deserve nothing

 

[stipe]

I agree what you.

I still find Premier League much more interesting

Be we will still be way off them.Where are we making up 40points from, 13 more wins, we are years off them even if they stand still.

They have had a great result. They were the first team to look impossible to beat before SAF decided to knock them off their perch. Nothing is invincible. Messi was an immovable god a week ago...hardly got a kick tonight. It may take another two years but your attitude says we should not bother. Time will come again.
