Wow Pedri!!! just WOW!!!!!
Pedri's a national treasure.
Just sensational, Pedri.
Doesn't say a lot for the league that Barca looked like a pub team for half the season and are still probably coming second anyway.
Barca have a world class squad still. 3 teams still in CL.
If we played Barca right now they would beat us.
Of course they would, they've looked very good again lately and we've been shite.
It's just that they went half a season playing like the foreign branch of Stoke City, knocking long balls in the general direction of Luuk de Jong and fecking Pique up front - and there's so little depth of quality in the rest of the league that they can still make up the ground after that farce with ease.
It's been quite a season. Atleti have scored as many goals as Barcelona and Barcelona have conceded lesser goals than Atleti.
A good manager and some youth players promoted and look what a difference it can make
Also getting players back from injury. No Pedri, no Dembele, no strikers. Now they have Auba and Ferran.
Don't think it's much of a coincidence they started getting good once Pedri got fit...
They will win every game to end the season on 84 points. Which means we need 16 from 24 to win the league. I'm genuinely not so confident of that anymore...
Believe this Barca side is amazing to follow. Great signings, with the combo of tremendously talented youth players, and on top of that they have few experienced players- and above it all they have a manager who has re-installed the joy and the discipline in that squad. I was expecting a 5-0 win to barca yesterday, but I am content that Bono saved us from utter embarressment.
Speaking of which, can't wait for Lopetegui to go. Cannot stand this version of Sevilla; it has been unbearable for over a year now.

Very frustrating that every time Sevilla look like challenging for the title they tend to fade kind of late. Beautiful city too.
And huge credit to Barca, the Koeman crap felt like a lifetime ago now.

Indeed. Sevilla shouldn’t be playing this style of football.
What? I thought Lopetegui was popular at the club, and overachieving a fair bit in the league? Whats your problem with him?
Low-pace possession based football without any chances created is not my taste. So far we have been carried by occasional individual performances or on pure inspiration (vs betis). We looked like contenders in autumn because all the other teams outperformed us in being poorly, not because we played that well.
If you ask Biris then they appreciate how Lopetegui has been passionate and how he has handled the derbies, but overall the confidence about him is getting very low. The Champions League was a fiasco, the manner of how Sevilla went out of EL was not worthy, and we are about lose a CL spot that was firmly in our hands. He is under pressure.
The city is amazing, no doubt about that

Espanyol have been on a downward spiral since moving Darder further forwards to accommodate Bare and Herrera.
It's nonsense. Darder is a De Jong, Arthur, Verratti esque press resistant DLP. The teams general play is on another level when he's dictating games from back there, and carrying the ball through opposition pressure. Get him back there, Moreno.

Madrid have looked good in the CL match, but lots of time left
I'm surprised by the energy and intensity they've shown, especially Modric. He's outrunning almost every player out there.
Ancelotti trolling everyone
Casemiro-Valverde-Camavinga in midfield

He’s resting Kroos and Modric. You can afford to drop points, all though you’ll still win.
Camavinga GOOD. We still need either him or Fede against Chelsea but i'd like to see Rodrygo as well. So should bench Kroos
Goal Casemiro.
1-0
1-0
Vini crossing Modric style
He has been quite in tune for a few weeks, although the rest of Modric and Kroos was too obvious
Wasn’t Alena meant to be the next big thing for Barca what happened there?
Bale started to warm up and some applauses were heard. The srtart of reconciliation today maybe? We'll see
Great to hear
Hopefully he can leave with a good ending to his time at Madrid and on good terms with the fans.
2-0 Lucas Vazquez, very good pass from Rodrygo.
Now Ancelotti can make the subs and be more relaxed about it.

Whistles for Bale
Some people applauding too, to be fair.
one thing is the fan in general and another thing the socios. In the Champions they release tickets and the public is softer, let's see if he has a chance against Chelsea
Not good
Or he trusts Camavinga & Valverde to start together for a home game vs Getafe but doesn't feel the same for a CL quarter-final vs Chelsea. This doesn't sound insane given the experience and lack of it for the respective duos.
Valverde's runs are actually a joy to watch.
Well, 3 points. The league is now much closer.
13 points to go. Osasuna away, Cadiz away, Levante at home, Espanyol at home, Betis at home, Sevilla away next week without Casemiro, Atleti away
Not gonna lie, i'm a bit scared we might actually end up losing this league

Yes, that's true.
I also think socios who are generally older are more contaminated by traditional media which started -and continued- the anti Bale campaign. Younger fans tend to attend Champions League games and I don't see them falling into this kind of toxic behavior so easily.
Hopefully it's not just wishful thinking from our side.
