    ref tried his best to give the game to atletico with those 3 “fouls” at the top of the box. thank god we won. what a game we played.

    lewy was god awful tho, and kounde NEEDS to accept that he’s our best right back.

    1st half was abysmal by us, way too emotional and accumulated too many yellows for no reason. 2nd half we were the better side but just couldn’t convert, it is what it is.

    Just sucks that we can never get a result away to Barca no matter the circumstance.

    Insane aggression all game but just couldn’t finish and score. Everyone played insane (Pedri, Peña, João Felix, Kounde, etc.). Joao Felix absolutely does NOT want to return lol. Sign both the Joao’s.

    Felix, de jong superb. Kounde, gundogan, pedri good. Raphinha inconsistant. R9 boy oh boy… He’s so out of form its like robert is playing against us at times trying to force positive play. Its like xavi is determined to play him into good form which his options are pretty sparse in torres/ guiu…
