    I guess you can be as * as you like at the back when you’re that good going forward and in midfield. Yamal is going to dominate football for the next 15 years, boy is an absolute * genius.

    Mbappe dived to win a penalty VAR steps in and corrects the decision and ref doesn't give Mbappe a yellow card almost as bad as the refs here

    Real have some * in that team, Vasquez, Ceballos and that wee CB are absolute pish, wouldn't take them on a free.

    Both defences are a laugh.

    Barca thinking Real had given up switched off and paid the price this game could still have a few twists yet

    Barca doing a Spurs with the high defensive line and Real not able to take advantage of it

    Some game. Great win for Barca, despite the ref's best efforts to prevent it.

    How can he possibly give a handball against Fermin for that goal? Valverde had the ball after the handball and Fermin won it back off him. Mental.

    Interesting how the refs and var will justify the two handballs being both correct.

    Surely if you're not giving the penalty claim because it's booted off the arm from a yard away, you can't chalk off the goal as it's the same thing, surely?

    Roon ye Mbappe, Vini Jnr and Bellingham ... *.

    That Barca defence gets sorted and they'll be a proper force next season. Some team in attack.

    Toni Kroos back in August 2024: "Real Madrid will win the league, I have no doubt about that, and there will be a race for second place, and Atletico Madrid will beat Barcelona.

    Probably underestimated his own quality, he was great at pulling the strings and controling the tempo, slowing games when they were in the lead, keeping posseion etc

    Valverde and Tchouameni are good but they don't have those qualities, Bellingham is garbage I think as a footballer, he's like McTominay can head a ball, poach a goal but he can't pass and move and create or anything. Camavinga as well I don't think is up to much, gets stuck in, dances about on a ball but not that effective they need someone like a Rodri.

    The lack of control and how bad their tactics are Kroos and especially before Kroos and Modric when he still had the legs to play more were basically the glue of their team. If they nicked a lead those two would dominate the game on the ball and let them sit and counter, if they were behind in a game they'd go gung ho and those two would sit in behind and knock the ball about as the other team sat back. Now they've not got the control when in front or the class when behind.
