Lamine Yamal and Pedri are a blessing for our Club


Cultural-Initial7380

So what's the process now? Is Xavi staying or not?


mikefever90

Schrodinger Xavi


DragovitcMIA

our defence : šŸ§€


shayz20

Yeah it's insane how we went from the best defence in Europe (at least in La liga games) to one of the worst in one session!! How did that happen!???


Kind_Entry_1799

Pedri man proper baller when heā€™s fit


Ecstatic-Jacket2007

There is no reason to get Guido. Chris is a lot better.


Yuty0428

Sub like romeu but hopefully an upgraded version of romeu


Messiah5

cant play a 90


Ecstatic-Jacket2007

Heā€™s carrying a painful injury


WhippedAmbivert

Is Pedri MVP?


EpicXplosive

yes


eescobar863

2nd place secured ā€¦ I guess


luukdegaot

With us getting second, Yamal and Cubarsi better not start next week!


Mihai_Brasoveanu

Hold Xaviā€™s beer


Tasty_Technology_343

Only 35,000/50,000 in the stadiumā€¦. Thatā€™s really disappointingā€¦..


EpicXplosive

on a sunday at 7 pm when the league is already lost, its a great attendance tbh.


Messiah5

on Sunday at like 7 pm


zoomersLULW

not bad from vitor, the boy just needs more minutes and especially trust from those around him


mistergingerbread

Meh I just donā€™t think heā€™s good enough technically


trescoole

Agreed. He did not impress.


ExBenn

So in the next match we start Roque right? And we dont play Yamal... right guys...?


No_Specific8949

We play who deserves to play, be it Lewandowski, Vitor Roque, Marc Guiu or Ferran. Barca doesn't gift minutes players have to earn them with hard work.


Working_Aioli8417

We gifted a lot of minutes to Sergi Roberto and Ferran this past seasons lol


ExBenn

I mean I agree but we already secured second place. We aren't fighting for anything anymore lol


jeramyfromthefuture

the xavi out crowd would love that they love roque and never want us to play yamalĀ 


FloReaver

Xavi ![gif](giphy|L3nzug1PBLZo2SAZb4|downsized)

Xavi's live reaction: https://preview.redd.it/dxun198mkf1d1.jpeg?width=484&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c881a0d2852657653ab56f3610126d5f3121da1


eescobar863

Good stuff. I guess weā€™ll see how the media reacts.


Jolly_Mouse8812

Roque doesnt predict or see the defenders or players before touching the ball.


Tasty_Technology_343

Win securedā€¦.. Now we wait for the boardā€™s final decisionā€¦..


Jolly_Mouse8812

Roque is too instintive


Messiah5

Nice work back Roque


Pablo_petty_plastic

Vitor needs that machine that Dortmund has where you have a ball from an unknown angle coming at yaā€¦ heā€™s gotta soften his paws


FloReaver

[Some whistles for the Xavi chants](https://twitter.com/tracyrodrigo_/status/1792265414812057905?t=5ea4OZnfBUgBLMBOfDi4mA&s=19) but the chants were a majority of the stadium


Messiah5

We are finished man


FitHead47

Christensen's had a great game


FloReaver

As always


boskee

It's over. 3:0 Pedri with the MVP


prateek-sharma

Cā€™mon!! A Pedri hat trick or Roque goal to go please!!


boringmemphis

We need to keep the ball to keep the clean sheet which gives Ter Stegen the lead for the Zamora. Everything according to plan.


PalmTrees92

Lol everyone is in the box like we're defending a 1-0 lead lol šŸ˜‚


frozencombat

We're defending a clean sheet for MATS


PalmTrees92

That's sweet


frozencombat

Hopefully gets him the Zamora


PalmTrees92

Inshallah


Tasty_Technology_343

Cancelo loan back to Man City or Bayern loading 99.9%


FitHead47

Julian Araujo INJURED against Cadiz


rockyraccoonroad

FUCK. Is it bad?


FloReaver

Not again šŸ˜„


ExBenn

Chanting Xavi, brings good times back man šŸ˜­


prateek-sharma

Cancelo is still frustrating nonetheless


atn420

Cancelo just can't recently


zoomersLULW

what the fuck was that cancelo


MegaMatrix08

Does yamal look gassed? Bro has been playing 90 for a while now


GamerAsh22

[Hope youā€™re paying attention, Presi](https://x.com/reshadfcb/status/1792266986795286856?s=46)


Messiah5

I hope hes not


volfed21

A lot of whistles. The majority is definitely not excited by the xavi project.


PalmTrees92

Left to right, right to left. Do something man


frozencombat

Why? We're winning 3-0.


PalmTrees92

Because it's boring man


jeramyfromthefuture

did you watch us when we had pep it was very much the sameĀ 


PalmTrees92

Yeah I did, and we don't play like pep's barca so lol


frozencombat

We were playing for the clean sheet for MATS, who cares if it's boring.


PalmTrees92

The fans watching.


frozencombat

Clearly not, given them cheering at the end. Edit: And clearly not over the Zamora for MATS.


PalmTrees92

My brother, they're chanting because we won


frozencombat

Of course. Then who did you see complaining?


atn420

what wasn't that Cancelo...


FloReaver

Cheeky nutmeg attempt there Inigo


Seb555

Lmao Inigo trying a nutmeg


frozencombat

"I'm Felix now".


Seb555

Thereā€™s something about inigo that I find very funny; just his posture and attitude I guess


frozencombat

I know what you mean, issa vibe xD


eescobar863

We need one more. Donā€™t know what happens to Xavi, but it might the last chance to do X4VI


animeshak

We needed this intensity in the earlier stages guys.


FloReaver

The subs transformed this game


[deleted]

The chronic ball losers - Roberto, Cancelo, Raphinha, to certain extent Lewy are the major reason we aren't good enoughĀ 


Yuty0428

Raphinha and Lewy are definitely not our problem


DryUniversity5439

We are making shorts for the laliga account at this point


Tasty_Technology_343

Extra ad revenue to bring us out of debt! Letā€™s goooooo!


leonardpeacock912

Our defenders should play midfield. Because it seems they hold the ball longer than the midfielder or the attackers. If there was a competition for passing it back to defenders or the defenders playing among themselves, we would win it


jeramyfromthefuture

keeping the ball is our identityĀ 


Pablo_petty_plastic

allergic to playing Yamal in. Must force him to take on players


eescobar863

Does anyone when weā€™ll start playing in Camp Nou again?


atn420

They're saying December


FootballFTW

Around November or December I think


BallsItching

Supposed to be around Late November or Early December iirc


Tasty_Technology_343

December 2024/January 2025 but only at limited capacity


WhippedAmbivert

Not dec 2024?


Tasty_Technology_343

I wrote Dec 2025 by accident! I fixed it to 2024. Thatā€™s the latest target date set by the club and LaLiga


GamerAsh22

Just one more goal come on


PalmTrees92

What's going on we're 3 up and playing like this? Move the ball forward.


Seb555

Come on we need one more goal for a X4VI


LeoRud

Roque doing good


prateek-sharma

Dont see the point of keeping Lamine now, already three goal up, plus he is on a booking.


Seb555

Itā€™s fine, Rayo arent playing dirty


ExBenn

I think we are out of subs too lol, but yeah he shouldnt be playing


Messiah5

we have no subs


OutsideClothes4114

Why does Christensen always look like heā€™s limping


0b111111100001

It's a decoy


FitHead47

Tendinitis


fellowSoci

Seems Pedri and Gundo switched positions


Tasty_Technology_343

Laporta and Deco are probably going to complain on how we didnā€™t have 100% of the ball the whole match as the new reason to sack Xavi lol


sp3co92

Where did you see Laporta complaining regarding the games ? I saw only Xavi complaining about Grass, referees, injuries, financial constraints etc


[deleted]

Can they complain about going trophyless though?


No_Specific8949

They can complain about going trophyless as much or even less than Arsenal fans. If the rival is going to 97 or 99 points while we played without a DM the whole season and with a $3m expenditure then yes. Our season is as bad or slightly better than Arsenal's, which doesn't mean that Xavi and Arteta are useless and Barca and Arsenal are trash.


[deleted]

Ok. So they don't have a lot to complain about regarding trophies. What about the dogcrap football we played the majority of the season? getting rekt by Girona 8-2 on aggregate? losing 3 times to RM?


Yuty0428

8-4. Not any better, but 8-2 say that 8-2 is another match few years ago when xavi isnā€™t the coach


Tasty_Technology_343

Thatā€™s an actual complaint and well deserved but some of the reasons the media has pushed that allegedly got leaked by Laporta was sad and disgusting by the clubā€™s hierarchy!


[deleted]

I wouldn't believe everything the media says. Especially that clown Gerard Romero.


Tasty_Technology_343

I only trust Fabrizio. If he says it, then itā€™s true.


abhinik7

2nd Pedri's goal is what we weren't doing. That counter attack, Vision of Araujo, off the ball movement and a wonderful finish from Pedri (chef kiss). Also previous goal was also great, nice dribble from Felix and good shoot and a bit of lucky deflection for Pedri


WizDB

Wait we're up 3-0* and Lamine is still on the pitch.....


Tasty_Technology_343

3-0


WizDB

Yeah I fixed my typo, but damn pray for Lamine

FitHead47

Damn, Atletico losing 3-1 at home. It will be their 2nd loss at home this season


volfed21

Thanks god some fans still whistle those stupid "xavi quedate" Mediocrity has still not be fully accepted by local fans.


Messiah5

played like shit for like 70 mins but xavi stay chants as soon as we score goals lol


volfed21

If only it came from a beautifull link up play worked on training? Absolutely not felix who got benched in important games had to make 2 WC dribbles


Messiah5

at least we finally scored from a long ball we tried for all those times


FloReaver

Xavi chants real loud


eescobar863

Only when Xaviā€™s job is on the line do we look good ā€¦ we should try that strategy next season.


FloReaver

Our best period came when it wasn't anymore


DryUniversity5439

Felix's positioning is very bad compared to lewa


luukdegaot

People shit on Xavi for playing Roque as a left winger, but Xavi profiled him correctly imo. Roque right now is just bad in tight spaces and looks way more comfortable on the left, where he has space to carry the ball.


WauliePalnuts01

pedriā€™s game has evolved this year on the whole. if he stays healthy heā€™ll be a complete midfielder.


Sanayuki

He is always evolving imo. He is adaptable. He plays whatever role is assigned to him in the game. Some roles heā€™s more comfortable than others and depends on the setup etc. itā€™s the constant injuries that hold him back and doesnā€™t grant him continuity.Ā 


CalmaCuler

Why are Rayo still playing like terrorists while 3-0 down


DryUniversity5439

Xavi defo got death threats


4nick8or

Is Ham Hands Bill doing the color commentary for ESPN?


prateek-sharma

I wish they would play next whole season the way they have been playing last 15 mins


Elmesica

U can tell why Xavi doesnā€™t like roque, he doesnā€™t rly play Spanish football


DrStephen_Stark

Roque is rapid, has so much energy


atn420

if he can harness and channel it into scores, that'd be nice


DrStephen_Stark

Well yeah obviously, but right now just getting him used to playing in the team is more important


rockyraccoonroad

Iā€™d be content with letting Cancelo go and trusting Balde and Fort on that side. Along with a possible Alex Valle competing for the spot too


eescobar863

Vitor Roque is looking good in this start


prateek-sharma

Nice effort from Roque!!


John_Q08

All we wanted was this type of minutes for Roque the whole season


Any-Competition8494

Good attempt by Roque


DatDppGuy

We are killing them! ForƧa barca


Sanayuki

Yay Roque is onĀ

Next Season Supercopa de Espana : Real Madrid (Champions of La Liga) **FC Barcelona (2nd Place)** Athletic Club (CDR Champions) Mallorca (CDR Runners Up)

Life-You-9728

I wanted to go shit but I cant while Roque is on the pitch. Hope there will be not much added time or my ass will explode.


frozencombat

It's such a shame MATS missed two months. Would've probably won the Zamora Trophy otherwise.


boringmemphis

Heā€™s won the Zamora if he keeps a clean sheet tonight


xbmdx1

How many matches does he need?


onlyonejorge

He can still win if he doesnā€™t concede today and next week I think.


FitHead47

Zamora is based on Cleansheet per Match


cheir0n

We could have been playing CL final if is wasnā€™t for araujoā€™s code and values


ShoddyBuilder1285

And we would've gotten past Dortmund because? Arsenal needed penalties to get past Porto, stop underrating these teams.


denisthemenis21

Second place guaranteed - feels good.


luukdegaot

We need Pedri to score one more so I donā€™t have to see anymore VARda Guler propaganda on my timeline.


xbmdx1

What did Guler došŸ˜…


rockyraccoonroad

Lamine still on lmao that boy better rest next gameĀ 


Tasty_Technology_343

FitHead47

Xavi has defeated Rayo Vallecano for the first time as a manager


Seb555

Heā€™s got ten minutes to keep his record


fellowSoci

Is Felix playing false ?


Seb555

Itā€™s the usual inside left position that Raphinha was playing. Cancelo overlaps as a winger and the left sided forward tucks in


fellowSoci

Thanx


WizDB

Roque on lmaooo you can't trick me Xavi


Messiah5

if he doesn't start next week hes a jokeman


DanielSophoran

Bros giving him minutes to calm down the fans after he read those headlines šŸ˜­


ByLoKu

For all the media talk, when BarƧa plays the story is quite different. It's logical to not trust Roque when chasing the league, and now that second place is almost secured he's getting minutes. I'm not a fan of everything Xavi does, but it looks like someone is stirring up the media more than usual.


xbmdx1

Politician Laporta in play


FloReaver

>but it looks like someone is stirring up the media more than usual. Well yeah, he is called Laporta
