The Football Thread 2019/20: Barcelona will have 2-8 till next season to avenge this embarrassment

[Cuttooth]

I'd 8-2 to be a Barca fan!

Ha, finally get to say that.

Can't believe I strawberry floated it up...

Arsenal fans breathe a sigh of relief that they're no longer the sole butt of that joke

[DML]

How do you think DBlock is faring?

[Preezy]

I wonder if Messi will finally leave now, is he going to want to waste the next few years whilst they rebuild?

After all these years tiki-taka finally strawberry floated off.

Barcelona haven't played tiki-taka in years mate. Not sure anyone has with the game evolving to be more focused on transitions rather than possession play.

Replace tiki taka with boring Barca football then.

I think at this point we seriously have to question if Messi is as good as Ronaldo.

It's times like this that I wish Dblock was still active on the forum.

Ronaldo couldn’t carry this team. He couldn’t carry Juve...

We know what you meant.

3.1% of the goals Barca have ever conceded in the CL were scored in tonight’s game

That's a crazy statistic.

Ronaldo has shown much higher propensity to be successful in different squads over the years.

I get Messi is the artist and people want him to be better, but if I had the pick of the world, Ron is the first name on my team sheet.

Properly nearly spat my drink out there, nice one.

[Saint of Killers]

Valverde got sacked right after the match, apparently. Pretty certain his only complaint would be that they could have done it at half-time.

Barca

Still surprised that Bayern are excelling under some no-name caretaker that nobody had heard of.

He did actually carry Juve to the Serie A title this year.

Messi needs to come to Anfield, we’ll give him a CL.

I’m actually not joking.

Good luck financing his £600k+ a week wages.

He’d have to take a MASSIVE cut in wages but he’d get that CL...

He'd obviously want to be in a massive city with loads of shops for his wife and a good supply of massive houses that can be purchased from questionable organisations using questionable means. But it can't be too cold, so living in the north west would be a bit of a problem.

While we're on the subjects of cold, rainy nights up north that are used as a stick to beat you with, where better to play than a team that has such a poor recent record in the provinces that merely scoring in midweek at Elland Road will get you a statue built outside the ground?

He's won the CL, but he has a Europa League hole in his trophy cabinet, if not his legacy, IF NOT HIS HEART.

Personally I'd be more than happy for him to be a makeweight in any Guendouzi deal.

Bayern City semi-final could be interesting.
