  • @Barrio EDEN HAZARD - Passing Very Strong - Through balls Very Strong - Key passes Very Strong - Dribbling Very Strong - Finishing Very Strong -

  • @neumi17 use your glass to check Hazard Through balls,it is not very strong.

  • Messinenka is the name of the latest freekick.

  • When Barcelona fall behind, the red card is a must.

  • @brucelian That was a red card. Striaght

  • Fantastic entertainment but we learned once again why this Barcelona won't win the Champions League. They have a magician, a sorcerer who is the undoubted GOAT but overall they are a brittle and flawed team. I think they will beat Manchester United but that defense will struggle badly against Liverpool's forwards in the semi.

  • @iluveverton Liverpools forwards do sh..t in the last months. Especially away from home Liverpool scores hardly any goals.

  • @iluveverton Well, I'd say that's a very reactive opinion. Don't forget this was the first time Umtiti and Lenglet played together + Umtiti is back from injury. Barca's defence haven't been so shaky since the beginning of the season when Pique was out of form. They still managed to score 4 goals and the only issue was defence

  • @iluveverton Liverpool are not so stable either. The only matchup where barca are not the favourites is against man city IMO. But that matchup is only possible in the final and with only 1 game they can come up on top with a little bit of luck

  • We should consider freekicks as penalty for messi :) hes simply by far the best in skills

  • What a comeback , starts in 90 by that beautiful freekick from the king and finished in 93 by an amazing shot from suarez

  • Atletico Madrid just got 2 points closer to Barca and on Saturday they will probably get even closer.

  • Remember when messi used to be average from freekicks? Like before 14-15 season, little bit of practise and became the best freekick taker in the world by a mile, nowadays when messi taking a freekick you already celebrate when the foul happens if its in 30yards range

  • @Feeherii on the other side ronaldo became crap at them, never understood how that happened!!

  • @BSN ronaldo trains his penalty kicks

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown you mean tap ins.

  • @Feeherii Scoring freekicks like they're penalties

  • @Feeherii Scoring freekicks like they're penalties

  • @Feeherii He's not much better than Pendalo though, it's just that Pendaolo is much older.

  • @Feeherii Hard work pays off

  • lmao definitely got the same vibes from last season 2-2 draw with sevilla. opposing team with tonnes of chances then in the final few minutes messi and suarez ties it up

  • big LUL

  • Yellow subs

  • Naah...

  • Messi yellow, I think this game is done.

  • @Kentzz001 lmao

  • this is exactly why valverde hates rotation. if pique messi rakitic started

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown - This is exactly why you don't rotate all the key players in the same matches. You rest them one by one. Then the rest of the team's chemistry stays the same and the incoming player only has to adapt themselves into the existing structure. But if you rest everybody for one match, then the ones who aren't in form (Coutinho, Malcom, Vidal, Umtiti) have to invent a title-winning team. And they can't, that's why they aren't generally starters this season in the first place.

  • I thought Malcolm was bought because he is good in dribbling ? Well, he is not ...

  • @neumi17 he’s good at dribbling against Frenchman farmers

  • @neumi17 He is not very good at running with the ball but his ball controll is quite good. If u think about it, malcolm is better at passing,crossing and shooting than dembele even though dembele is clearly the better player at the moment

  • @neumi17 I am sure Barcelona would never buy a player for one skill only. That is not the total football way.

  • We all know how it will end. In the remaining 25 minutes Messi will score 2 goals and Barcelona will win 4-3 ...

  • @neumi17 Well, kind of ;-))

  • @neumi17 you ware sayin?

  • @svetoslav Not tonight apparently ...

  • @neumi17 well atleast they managet to get that draw i beted on ;p

  • @neumi17 well he didn’t do that in last 3 CLs

  • @NuchalLine still better than screaming from the touchline.

  • didnt chukwueze hit the post also?

  • Nice Villareal goal

  • wtf malcom

  • Pique, Rakitic and Messi rested. Finally rotation by Valverde

  • Malcom to start and score

  • Heavy rotation and Barce will take the win anyway

  • 1-4 Barcelona

  • Barcelona win 4-0

  • 2-1 villarreal

  • 1X , Villarreal need points

  • Fun fact: Pique scored more goals than Modric this season.

  • @GioMonaldo Well, I'll tell you something that should be of vital interest to you. That you, sir, are a NITWIT!

  • @GioMonaldo fun fact: modrig won the ballon dor because he‘s ugly
