lol. If any team in the world showed up with 100m, he would've been gone. City wanted him for free because they spent 170m+ for other players, not because Barcelona didn't let him leave. Bartomeu is not refusing 100m and paying yet another 100m for his salary when Messi can negotiate with any team in January and leave for free in the summer.

Let's see if he renews his contract now so he can get Barcelona a transfer fee this summer. lol. He's gonna take that fat City signing bonus and bounce.

hat trick of pens for soler

mental match this

zizou should strongly consider making marcelo a starter again imo

Keep isco in there too. Mendy on the bench where he belongs, with Kroos.

Zidane would've been another Benitez, Solari, Lopetegui etc. without Ronaldo. One year and then thank you, see ya.

Some club should hire Poch before he gets another job, which you have to think is going to be fairly soon.

Germans löw right now after being trampled by Spanish children.

it appears busquets has not been holding back just barca, but spain too

I find it crazy that Löw is still the Germany coach. I know what happened in 2014 but since then it has been failure after failure including at least 3 embarrassments:
- Nations League relegation
- Spain 6-0 loss
- Eliminated in group stages of 2014 WC

i think he has done some dumb things like playing toni kroos as defensive midfielder and not telling neuer to **** off back in goal when he thought he was a footballer, but the main problem is the german players are pretty meh all around

Meh all around? Other than the fullbacks they have elite players in every position. If Löw hadn't excluded their best player, they could start 7/11 of the starting XI of the best team in the world - unless they decided to bench Goretzka in favor of Kroos. And the remainder of the bench is stacked, too.

Löw is the problem. He did a great job for a while, but he's done, the team looks clueless and uninspired, the defense sucks balls despite it being a strange constellation of Löw's own doing (and lets not forget he decided to exclude arguably their best defender). And that is symptomatic; nothing he's tried out for a long time has worked. He needs to go, Germany isn't going to return to the top under Löw. And not just for the team, but for his own legacy. Last world cup was poor and 0-6 is embarrassing, but at the end of the day he won a World Cup, if he leaves now he'll be remembered fondly when the current animosity towards him recedes, but it's questionable if he will if they **** up the Euros, too.

i like kimmich, gnabry and kroos even though he cant run. müller is a good player too when everything works and he can just be allowed to run into the box. the rest is whatever

Give Löw a lifetime contract, he's the only DFB figurehead I've ever experienced who doesn't seem to mind pissing off Bayern executives and their fans

Could be worse, could be Tuchel.

Liverpool don't have any German players in their starting 11.

i don't understand how tuchel still has a job

Did the impossible and got QSG past the UCL quarters. Hopefully he has the job for life now for the lulz.

Matip, alas he chose Cameroon

Löw should've resigned as soon as he got off the plane back from Russia in 2018. DFB extended his contract before that WC and you need to do some mental gymnastics to spin it into a positive thing. Either he needs to put his ego in place now and go away or some higher-ups need to grow some balls. Neither is gonna happen soon supposedly.

Müller has been world class this year, there's just no excuse to trot out Brandt e.g. instead frequently IYAM.

Possibly why they are **** this year.

madrid lucky to escape w/ a point earlier today vs villarreal

anyway, no luisito sucks, woulda been fun to see him face barca w/ a vengeance

digging the ansu t-shirts barca bloques are wearing

Sick pass from Alba. Used to Leo scoring those.

too tight of an angle
shoulda cut back to pedri imo

lmao what a goal

adventurous marc andre decided to gift them one for no reason

pique not covering himself in glory w/ that touch, either

ter stegen and pique, great combo
