Let me know if there are any mistakes, or if there’s something you want me to change
First touch
In times of need, La Masia dropped another bombshell. holy damn
Yikes, that was fuckin dangerous. I hope he’s ok
ARAUJO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BE GOOD
Seems as though Athletic don’t have as much trouble finding goals as they did last season and they’re doing decent. But they often get thrashed when they go to Barcelona so even if they’re missing a lot of players, I don’t expect anything less than a 3-0 here.
Our squad depth for this game is hilariously thin. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.
Anyone know why Lamine isn’t in the starting XI for Barça?
Mixed team for Barcelona against a good side. Let’s see if they can go back to the 1-0 vibes
Xav1 vibes
Love Romeu’s long passing
I’d say that’s a penalty
Ferran is honestly so disappointing. All that shark talk is aging like milk
I know I didn’t see Fermin try and line up a bicycle kick
Alonso looks funny when he runs lol
How was that not a foul by Gavi for that scissor tackle lol
Iñigo looks much worse with his new haircut
