    I agree with you that Tottenham aren't contenders for the title but they are a big threat for all EPL teams don't pretend like they aren't. They have an amazing squad but I don't think they have the capacity for the EPL title which is a shame because I want them to win it.

    I mean, not like Barca still through in the semis...it's likely y'all win tomorrow regardless.

    Can't say I'm surprised, all our performances in this cup were all horrendous and it's clear Zidane just made a team sheet and told them "do whatever you want"--zero identity, cohesion or gameplan. This Leganes team was missing several starters but showed what we lacked. I barely have hope against PSG but with this result, that game very likely will decide Zidane's future.

    Y'all seen this Lyon-PSG game? Absolute barn-burner that had it all; 3 thunderous goals, drama (Alves lost his s---, Mbappe got a repeat of Schumacher 82') and late game heroics (Memphis is killing it in Lyon, amazing last min goal)

    This is too absolutist, but that stubbornness is costing us, assuming he doesn't change his ways I believe it's for the best he leaves. This squad should be doing much better than 4th place and tedious displays.

    Then again, that's football. Cycles happen and we had a h--- of a run these last 4 years. La Liga has been falling behind in spending to the BPL, with the ways things are going wouldn't surprise me if their European results start improving.

    Well if Espanyol score then we'd need 3 goals to win. So Valverde is pretty much forced to play a full strength team. It's tricky to be honest, but once the floodgates open it'll be 4/5-0.


    Yeah

    Absolutely, it's been a lot of head scratchers in the summer and our refusal to try adding reinforcements this window. This recent trend of "youth development" is confusing--Perez expects these kids to already be world-class players when the reality is they need years of development, it's shown in the Copa they need a lot more time. It's a perfect storm of near-sighted decisions, or well shitstorm.

    pure example of trying to look smart and end up dumb. Oh yeah let's sign these young kids and show the world we don't have to rely on buying superstars LMFAO Real Madrid is a well known club that destroys young players,since you are a Real Madrid fan I don't expect you to agree with me but it's a fact.

    I mean that's every big club, especially in today's game that demands immediacy in results. Unless these kids are pretty much bulletproof exceptional talents (think Raul, Iniesta & co) it's very rare to see opportunities being handed out. Remember "Zidanes y Pavones"? It seems like that ended up becoming today's model in every major club, a big problem in these last few years (for both our clubs) has been retaining youth talent, it's sad seeing the two Alcantara brothers leave or the fact we could have kept Juan Mata years ago.

    thiago alcantara is a great player but it's good he left because he is injury prone and he wanted regular team football, that wasn't possible at Barca .
