Let me know if there are any mistakes, or if there’s something you want me to change
Noice
Great performance from every starter except Alaba and Nacho. Such a shame we didn’t get the clean sheet and were robbed of 2 penaltys. Loved the Vini Calma celebration and the Rodrygo SIU
Idk about those penalties you saw…
Happy to see several players slowly getting back to form again. Happy about everything except our defense. Nacho and Alaba struggled a lot. And too bad the international break’s coming up too.
Real was electric today, bellingham was apparently holding them back /s
Glutenfree Carvajal is your favorite RB’s favorite RB
They should name the Ballon D’Or the Camavinga D’Or, he’s the defensive goat and I’m not going to hear any arguments to the country
Looks like this supposed “tough and difficult” team are a bunch of scared little lambs without their racist ultras in the stands.
OK now compare salaries of the teams lol.
Guys, please don’t forget to take a moment to laugh at Mamardashvili.
Not so tough without his racist fans enabling his behaviour, is he?
Girona is first in the table??
Fucking oil money
Valencia were fucking abysmal
Man I so much hoped for a Vini masterclass, I said in the prematch that it would be a world-class player revenge. And he’s done it
Also, I’ve been saying for a month Rodrygo just needs to be trusted, that he’ll get his form back and adapt to the new system
I believe that now, when Vini and Rodrygo start to understand how to coordinate, one of them to play wide, the other in the box, we can be very unpredictable
Nice, nothings more enjoyable than a rout.
I love Brazil
Fuck the international break, just when we were starting to build momentum this shit arrives.
every damn season
Rodrygo blassic
