Soccer (Closing)

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

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

I just don’t see how this is going to work with nobody in the box for Barça. I get that Ferran has been dreadful as a 9 and he’s basically the only option, but there’s nobody to keep the Athletic club CB’s busy

"Better drink my CapriSun first!" jk

another pen not given

Injuries are going to happen if the ref allows such plays

Nice job, Cancelo

What a sloppy half!

Ferran Torres almost accidentally playing an elite pass to Felix

that's a pen

Uhhh thats a trip

Insane meg if intentional lol

Yikes, terrible pass by Ter Stegen

So fucking boring game

Great block

Ferran already beat his man and then decided to try to beat him again...

These refs are seriously dog shit. La liga should hire only non spanish refs. The difference in ucl matches is incredible.

Vinicius will feast against Cancelo next week. Don’t see Araujo starting as a RB with Kounde out

Cancelo is dumb as a rock. Every single game he does some stupid shit.

Lewa is injured?

this also should be pen for Bilbao. Its really sad state of refereeing

VAR has been shit for everyone since Perez got it changed. When they introduced VAR in Spain they just looked at each situation and gave what they thought was right - not clear and obvious bullshit.

2 clear penalties not given.

MATS, have my babies please

Not showing another replay of the Iñigo tackle simply because it was offside is actually moronic

Yeah that's a blatant shirt pull but this ref isn't gonna give a pen today

MAN FERRAN WHY CUT BACK

MaTs i want to reproduce with you.

Started off decently but got worse and worse by Barca. Big trouble to get any control in midfield, but not that weird with the two best controlling midfielders out.

Watching the replay i agree that the tackle on Joao Felix was penalty but so was the shirt grabbing to Nico near the end of the half.

All in all another day of glorious refereeing in Laliga

I expected some changes to the system by Xavi, interesting strikerless formation though.

Nice ball from Felix.

Felix dives way too much

Terrible pass by Gundo, it was so easy too

Great pass by Felix, good block by Garcia

Looking like 70% better than 1st half

I hate how goddamn long throw-ins take

Cancelo is having very little success crossing to Balde

Tough game
