EL: Barca vs Man United

Ffs, PSG v Bayern n now this tie, almost the two worst possible draws for my 2 teams Just hope we make it through, otherwise season over in like Feb...

As shit as Man U are atm, its just a matter of whoever sucks more when Feb. comes. We might looks slightly better, but our d is so shit, even 38yo CR might spank us... eg. when he bullies Eric into the goals XD

Who plays LW for MAn U now? Sancho? Cos just thinking we dont have a RB so its gonna be fun for whoever to bully Sergi Roberto also...

If we manage to go through, come to think it definitely will want Roma, for revenge n to play vs Mou again would be so dramatic

Lol, what a woeful record... n remember some EPL fans used to say its the best league by far n that La Liga is a joke, was it Firenze? Although there must have been lots of them... still remember there were also a few who used to say Messi cant cut it vs EPL teams, until he started absolutely blitzing them starting with Arsenal I believe it was.

We are all with you Utd. Put these guys out of their misery

I’m really torn on this! On one hand, my Spanish blood wants Barca to progress, but on the other, it will cause by trolling of Firenze to stagger, but would help to shut down the endless bs from BarcaLeraning and Myesyats!

But either way, neither of these are going to go far in Europa!

It’s pretty obvious most of team are thinking more about WC. Re 2nd place, it’s only 2 points assuming we win tomorrow! I’ve said all along I believe a good performing Barca team is good for la liga and for RMad. We easily make up the 2 points on next head to head match.

There is a reason we haven't defended a league title since I don't know when. We're just as likely to beat Barca as we are dropping points against the likes of Cadiz and Elche. Annoying but that's how it is

Shouldnt Arsenal be the favs? In fact they are according to the bookies, followed closely by us n then Man U, then a long way off Juve...

dunno why but feeling a bit like arrogant Mou here, dont really care if we win it or not its just very much a second rate trophy, as much as we all dont like it? Wouldnt mind seeing CR win it just to see what his reaction would be, would he even celebrate? Or even Mou win it again with Roma, see him brag about it like a real trophy

However it goes, at least its much better quality teams this time n actually worth watching.

Sabitzer looked good whenever I seen him play for Bayern I thought, didnt even Man U got him ffs...

That lineup above though seems too attacking? Cos most teams that play vs us know u need to defend quite a lot n be able to deal with our press, unless u just park n counter.

For us Kessie instead of Busquets n Raphinha instead of Dembele are obvious downgrades, but everyone seems to be on form n we been winning so much. Im not sure if its down to just Xavi finally selecting the right team or the teams in Liga just kinda suck especially up front meaning we dont concede goals anymore somehow Cant help but feel Man U will be much different?

Raphinha I noticed doesnt have the pace or skill to be an actual winger, more like a play maker on the right n a hard worker in general making runs into the box. His link with with the rest of the teams has been fine to watch though. Pedri n Gavi been running riot but not sure if they can do that vs Casemiro n Varane around who iirc used to bully them
