Barcelona players celebrating in the centre-circle to the sound of whistling Espanyol fans. looollll and now those salty little bitches ran into the pitch to cut short the celebrations. horrible club. #LaLiga will be so much better when they get relegated.

Ruben Neves is pure class but I understand Xavi’s hesitance given how long he’s spent in the PL playing lower down the table in a wildly different system. Sofyan Amrabat is in a similar situation, but he’d be arriving to be an enforcer - a profile he has and Barça lack.

Ruben Neves, meanwhile, would be coming for his passing and tempo dictation abilities, which Barça have - and you do have to wonder how sharp they still are.

Barcelona went into the mouth of the Lion without their best defender and best midfielder AND starting Sergi Roberto. this result (and performance) is VERY impressive.

another monster away game done (only Balaidos left). Barça had some luck today, but Ter Stegen was colossal. Barcelona were coasting until Xavi made two bad subs (Kessie & Alonso). after that, yes, it was frantic, but let’s not forget the first hour please.

Xavi’s gameplans are great tho he definitely has to work on improving his subs. but he’s an inexperienced coach, that’s expected.

that was so sloppy from Kessie. has to look after the ball better than that. Note: Franck Kessie is not good off the bench. 😂😭

I respect Rogen’s honesty, and kids are a lot of work for sure, but they are also phenomenal. helping a person grow into themselves is an unbelievably rewarding experience (not that I’m surprised a narcissist actor and his narcissist Hollywood friends struggle with this). that’s not a knock on Rogen. people who don’t want kids should not have kids, but he definitely doesn’t “get it.”

Kane to #MUFC makes a lot of sense on every level, really. knows the league, fits the system, absolutely world-class, plus he, Varane and Casemiro are around the same age and will form a solid, experienced spine. Victor Osimhen is obviously a dream signing for many United fans but there’s no guarantee he fits the system or settles in the country. more pertinently, he will cost significantly more than Kane given he’s younger, has a year longer on his contract and Napoli got him for 70m.

absolutely mad that Mbappé has scored more goals than anyone in World Cup final history at the age of 23 and that, despite the loss last night, is already a World Cup winner. what a player. I don’t even think Mbappé was the best #FRA player last night (big ups Kolo Muani) but his ability to be decisive even when not playing well is terrifying and recalls peak Cristiano. except he’s been at this level since he was 17. 😭

#FRA have switched to a back three. Dembélé and Theo wing-backs. meanwhile #ARG going old-school 4-4-fuckin'-2.

WELL WELL WELL it’s kind of wild that even with Barça in the state they are, the literal second-best striker in the world has forced a move there.

Barça (and Madrid) are just on a different level to the rest.
