Are Barca better than people perhaps give them credit for or are PSG just shit? Or maybe both?

PSG got thrashed by a an average toon side away and would've been knocked out in the group stage if it wasn't for a bullshit last minute penalty against the same side at home, they've been poor.

Barca have improved in the last couple of months but still far from us, Madrid and Arsenal.

Look at what Lewandowski offers Barca on the ball. A million miles ahead of what Haaland is capable of.

Lewandowski is an 80 year old experienced striker.

Erling still a kid who had a phenomenal season last year and thinks he's failing by only scoring 20 goals this season so far.

Yamal is too inexperienced for this

He is a talent, no debating that.

But this is actually why I don’t think Rico Lewis gets the credit he deserves.

From his senior debut he looked experienced beyond his years. Not perfect, but not overawed or impetuous.

He has been reliably cool under pressure and always available to receive the ball and help with progression.

To do that in arguably the best side in the world, in the best leagues on the world, for the most demanding manager in the world, in one of the most vital roles of that manager’s system, deserves much higher plaudits.

Does anyone think Pep might leave if we do back to back trebles after beating Barca in the final?

Definitely. Undoubtedly. Absolutely.

I bet the other players will be told to avoid eye contact and only speak to him if he starts the conversation.

Therell be a 'give it to gordon' clause in his contract

 

[When The Levee Breaks]

Ok, which one of the Match Day Thread Wankers, sent this to BBC Sport then???

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Barcah as a 16 and 17 year old starting champions league quarter final...thats outrageous and massively talented boys

And their squad must be thread bare. Needs must and all that.

 

[Haaland94]

Yamal is too inexperienced for this

Phenomenal player for such a young age. He won them the previous tie against Napoli. Outrageously good for 16.

Does anyone think Pep might leave if we do back to back trebles after beating Barca in the final?

Its ok if he does.

Andy Morrison and Paul Dickov will carry on his legacy.

He does deserve plaudits but to be fair to Lamine Yamal, he is 3 years younger than Rico!
