Champions League Games | Quarter-Finals | 9/10/16/17 April '24

The Champions League really comes to life in the quarters. In some ways, the tournament starts now and everything prior was just the CL Qualifiers.

Just like the first half of the Premier League season is just Second Place playoff qualifiers.

Just out of curiosity, Where the fuck is Eric Garcia these days?

Never in a million years is he a professional footballer, That **** must be a window cleaner somewhere in Spain now.

Plays for Girona, actually. On loan from Barca.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Awesome technique. Like a drag volley.

Plays for Girona, actually. On loan from Barca.

Fuck, Never knew he was at Girona.

Cheers for that.

Is that the kid with a billon euro release clause. I wonder if they’d take Cancelo and Phillips in part ex ?

Genuinely one of the few midfielders 21 years-old or younger that I would support spending whatever is necessary to get. Think he could keep Pep at City for a few more years as a project of making him the best CM in the world.

Gundo range

They’ve crocked Pedri at Barca. Same way they did with Fati. All too much too soon. All pressure on these young players that should take their time to develop.

Thrown in the deep end because of the shambles at the top level. Don’t know consistent he’s played this season. When I usually look him up, he’s either coming back from injury or just got injured.

As talented as Yamal is, hope they don’t do the same to him.

Pedri is the real “youth” talent at Barca.

My type of midfielder. Shame they’ve flogged him at every opportunity. Has had a number of injuries now. Hope he doesn’t go the way of Fati

Gavi out for most of the season as well.

Another reason for him to come to City.

Pep knows how to ease young players in and develop them in to the best in the world in their position.

And I don’t think he is fully crocked… yet, anyway.
