Not watching today if Asensio doesn't start (barring a training knock)

I'm fed up b. It's not even the results it's watching a struggle playing style and inability to make chances.

I'd prefer if my man Ceballos got to cook too.

Hope City get a couple early goals so Foden and Diaz can get in. Pep still taking the match seriously even though its not a need to win technically.

Ronnie + Benz tho

Isco ran his socks off last match though so it might be good he doesn't start against scrubs. If both Isco and Asensio don't start Saturday I'll be livid b, livid.

Don't see the point of starting Modric though.

Weak opponent, just played a taxing match against Atleti, coming off injury, and out of form.

Think Zizou got too much credit for playing Asensio last season. He was just obviously a phenom and forced his way on to the pitch more than Zidane letting him shine. Let's see how he handles Llorente, Theo, Ceballos, Vallejo and Mayoral.

So far that famous youth rotation policy has been missing.

henry should be wearing a barca jersey though cause we all know how arsenal does in europe

Pique over Maldini,Nesta,Cannavaro?

Stevie G over Zidane or Seedorf??

Dinho? Alves?

Lineup is kinda fraudulent to me,too much recency bias

*Just noticed there's not a single Serie A player really ,what gives?

It's like the 21st century started 10 years ago

I don't know the history of footy, but I'm not sure how many world beaters reach their potential being pampered on the bench. Imo they're made being thrown into the fire.

Welp,'Pools already up on Sevilla after their first chance of the game off a corner

I think they said they made the list just based off who got the most numerical selections to the UEFA team's. So thats why its missing some great names

Tough choice between liverpool v sevilla and totnum v dortmund but gonna go with the dortmund match and hopefully see auba bang in some salt on these spuds

Ah ok,that would make way more sense but still doesn't explain Gerrard

If they had to throw in an Englishman they could've picked Cole or scumbag Terry

 

[flyeed]

Hope at some point to see Asensio and Vasquez switch flanks

 

[jape]

benz got no confidence


lmao ronnie shooting from 40 yards out

 

[josh4523]

Obama puts dortmund up 1-0 with a clean finish to the left corner

 

[rolaholic]

Obama

 

[PabloSanchez]

My streams are trash and I missed Obama goal

 

[Armada]

Modric's goal was nasty

 

[Armada]

Gotta do better with that shot Bernardo

 

[rolaholic]

Leipzig is curb stomping Monaco at their place

 

[Verde Shuttles]

A Benz goal, very rare

 

[rolaholic]

Holy cow Burki made one of the saves of the season just now to deny Diers great header

Had to use the tips of his fingers there,DDG-esque

 

[jape]

Modric's goal was nasty

bad keeping tbf

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Nice counter attack

Springing easy counters is at an all time high

 

[Armada]

bad keeping tbf

The more I look at the replay the more I agree. Keeper could've done alot better
