I want to make babies with Joao Felix

Lol... anyway, so many of these groups game are so boring due to the difference in levels of the teams... must be easier than a training session from watching this... will get worst next season onwards...

rename the thread so we don't get confused... Group H

Antony taylor is awful lol

Frustrating half but we end up ahead, another injury tho

Lewa is slowing down but he still bags a lot of goals provided there is service

Neither Ferran or Felix are actual strikers

Again our midfield is nonexistent without FDJ damn. Need Pedri back and forget about Romeo

Probably be better off playing Cancelo in midfield and Araujo at RB, maybe will happen in el clasico

Porto are better than us n its not a surprise... away win was priceless... not that we would not get out of this group but this should give us 1st place now, easier draw for next round, thank u to that Porto player who was awful

Lewand keeps getting knocks so I pray he stays fit... Gavi stupid needless second yellow... we will get smashed in El Classico, but CL we should be fine with whichever team we put out, the other two opponents seem segunda level?

Porto away is a difficult ground and we won but we didnt play well. However last season we would've lost that game for sure so there is progress. But we have average depth and with 2/3 key players out we will struggle.

The players the come on as subs are even below average, there is no added value that Romeu, Roberto or Alonso bring to the table

So the lineup is with Alonso who Xavi seems to like for CL games... Inigo the new CB, Romeu, Fermin, Ferran, n young Yamal... Im worried, dunno Stakthar's level atm... I mean, has the war affected them at all I have no idea...

Goes without saying we should get 3 points but looking at that lineup ffs... wouldnt be surprised if we dont.

Lewa, Raphinha, FDJ, Kounde, Pedri injured.

Same situation as last season but now we have an easier group so it's not that tragic. But the amount of players out is worrying

Shakhtar looking like a 3rd division side, good for us If we dont slip up going forward, 1st spot should be ours... such a relieve after two yrs of pain

Wow Felix out... if he cant make classico who will our attack be? Ferran alone up front XD

Romeu jogging back not even pretending to chase for the goal concede reminds me vividly of Roberto lol... or Eric who woulda given a red card XD And now we letting Shakhtar bombard us lol...

Can Barça fans rate how Iñigo has been for you guys?

Always loved him (not just for Basque reasons) so I am curious

Granted that the sample on which I am judging him is not large 2/3 games, but initially I’d say he was rather poor and shaky but it most certainly can be attributed to not being familiar with the environment yet.

Now it’s evident that he’s coming into his own and his performance against Shakhtar was exceptional as the last man in front of the keeper for the most part . Never lost focus, very committed, great tackling, surprising acceleration for his age, pinpoint line-splitting passing. Seems like a complete CB and a leader, he had been linked with us for the past decade consistently so it’s a shame he only came in his twilight but yes indeed, he is a very elegant and rounded CB.

Granted this game doesn't matter that much but we are playing like absolute dogshit. Some key players missing but Chavi needs to do better, his tactics are awful. Cant even get the ball to Lewa and create a decent chance

Shakhtar deserved lead, Xavi needs to rethink his life choices.

Ferran is a blackhole as usual, so we have no LW... get Felix on... Alonso is slow n so is Christensen to afriad to get forward..

Now rightly 4 subs, phew

All right subs... good, now the game starts for us lol...
