The problem with puig is that he will be 23 this year but is still less mature than Pedri, Gavi and Nico who are 3-5 years younger. He hasnt made much progress in 3 years.

[danyjr]

Guy is 1.69m ffs. They should have gave him the same steroids they gave Messi.

[BarcaLearning]

Alves definitely is a living legend, great to see him playing like he is at 38 One of our best players this game. Puts to shame our other RBs. Interesting that at his prime his crossing wasnt great at all, but in the latter stages of his careers its improved a lot.

As usual we concede so still fighting for Europa spot lol... meanwhile Real cruising over Valencia... man I dont look forward to the next classico...

[halamadrid2]

Vini vs Alves

Actually Alves was La Liga's best crosser of the ball at Sevilla. I think he so rarely trained that aspect at Barça that he forgot how to do it after a while.

[BarcaLearning]

Didnt know that, only followed Barca since about 2008 and heard Alves had a great engine n owned the right side of the pitch every game, which he did... I guess Pep nullified his crossing so he could tika taka with the team instead

Yes Vini vs Alves is a nightmare.. I assume Xavi will play Araujo there from the looks of things... he prefers him instead of any of our RBs which is strange...

Barça had no one to cross to.

Also, in Pep's ball, low crosses are more valuable than high ones.

Barca possible lineup

Ter Stegen
Alves Araujo Pique Alba
Nico Busquets Gavi
Dembele Ferran Jutgla

Ansu, Pedri, FDJ, Depay possibly off the bench

[danyjr]

Dani Alves did well containing prime CR7 season in season out, let alone this favela scrub. You got nothing to worry about.

#GLJinx

[Myesyats]

There were rumors hinting at Araujo playing RB. I'm not sure about it though, because Eric Garcia or Lenglet at CB is probably worse than Alves at RB,which is tragic in itself but it be like that sometimes

Also wtf you doing comparing this favela merchant to prime CR7

[halamadrid2]

Has CR7 ever scored a deflected goal against Barca and celebrated like he meant it.
#factos

Dani will probably come on at the same time as Fati. Xavi should probably gamble witj him from start so that he can face Vasquez

I worry if Benz let himself be marked out of the game like in the league game. Pique and Garcia had him on lock in the league fixture

Vinicius is better than CR7 when it comes to dribbling. CR7 was never an elite dribbler like say Hazard or Robben or Messi.

[halamadrid2]

Official line up:

Tibu
Dani-Militao-Nacho-Mendy
Modric-Casemiro-Kroos
Asensio-Benz-Vini

Alaba out with an injury

[Myesyats]

Tbh your team is shit  in general. Your midfield is carrying the entire weight of the team imo

[Myesyats]

Barca possible lineup

Ter Stegen
Alves Araujo Pique Alba
Nico Busquets Gavi
Dembele Ferran Jutgla

Ansu, Pedri, FDJ, Depay possibly off the bench

official lineup: FDJ instead of Nico and Luuk instead of Jutgla ..

Luuk

that means Ferran at LW or not, i suppose dembele can play both sides

[Hapless_Hans]

According to Barca's twitter, it's both "Ferran time" and "go time"

so I guess, here we go then

Dani Alves lmao

Barca are absolutely brain dead

[BarcaLearning]

Vini n Benz been on fire pretty much all season actually... as expected they combined for the goal n troubling us non stop...

[BarcaLearning]

Dembele playing pretty well on the left... meanwhile Torres looking lost as expected though..

[Casciavit]

Ain't no way grandpa Alves is going head to head against Vinicius

[BarcaLearning]

Elite finish again from Luuk XD

[danyjr]

Grandpa Dani Alves is Barcelona's best player.

Also how long do we have to wait until we officially call De Jong-De Ligt the biggest frauds that have come out of the Ajax academy?

[Myesyats]

You guys making fun of Alves but he's been great tbh

[halamadrid2]

Typical Madrid way to concede. Coasting through a game only to give up a poverty goal. Poor Tibu

This Gavi kid is a foul machine. How he escapes yellow cards is beyond me
