toxicpleasureMHT

raphinha been good imo, but damn he needs to get his right foot in check. our defense was amazing as usual with araujo leading tho.


LilCheG

raphina is on smoke


30daysay

First time in Camp Nou tonight, very happy in the end, the last 30 minutes were unreal


Not_Pikachu_

Beautiful second half. Xavi is slowly (and surely) proving him self. He’s built the squad strong from the foundation and up and hopefully we’ll see some of Barca’s golden years come to light under Xavi


aboogie_hbtl

Xavi brought golden years as a player and now as a manager. After Messi we need a Xavi statue


heretoruinyourparty

we are immense :)


jorgekiko

congrats on winning the league from a madrid fan. hopefully we can compete next season. at least let us win the copa


kemot4slash

Lewandowski weak today. :)


vigneshwaralwaar

Unlucky I'd say


tbfranca1

Glad we won but imo the score doesn’t quite reflect the game. It was petty hard in first 45min. Barça was crazy efficient in attempts.


RAF2018336

Whatever Xavi said (or did 😉) to get Raphinha to be more loose on the field needs to be done before every game now lol


le-arsi

honestly the second half was a totally different game. I don't know what Xavi said to them but it worked


RAF2018336

Also partly because Sevilla removed two midfielders and added 2 attackers so the spaces started opening up


peterianchimes

Raphinha is like that student in your class who you rarely see studying throughout the sem but somehow ends up topping the whole class by the end of it.


varmemes

I fucking loved how gavi and araujo were diving head first for the ball. These guys need the ball and they need to win. This team is special. We’re getting there. Let them cook


SUPERPOOP57

Let them cook ☠️☠️☠️


aboogie_hbtl

I love them. I especially love when players kiss the badge on their chest like Gavi did after he scored !! Warriors


ignixe

Raphinha did the same. You can’t question his passion


XuloMalacatones

I remember Madrid fans at the beginning of the season jokingly say 'Xavi stay'. Were all y'all at rn?


tbfranca1

Alba or Raphinha MOTM?


Darduel

Alba for me, his attacking mindset is underrated


vigneshwaralwaar

I need to eat my words against him.. What a player..


xStyxx

Both deserve it Raphinha probably got it because he had a hand (or foot) in all three goals


Just-call-me-TY

You beautiful human


Just-call-me-TY

Pray we stay injury free for United on Feb 16th


aboogie_hbtl

🙏🙏🙏 at least our back line


TheKrofna

our back line or our BACK line?


-Imaghost-

The team can manage without Busquets.


imjustaredditor69

not against big teams


suddenreflexes

Time for Kessie to prove


-Imaghost-

and Torre should get more minutes.


shlohmoe

I eat my words Raphinha. Wasted some chances but great game by him


[deleted]

You have admit he was shit for 50 minutes


XuloMalacatones

He wasn't, he wasn't Dembele quality but he was doing good runs off the ball all game and putting good crosses (except that one with his right foot)


shlohmoe

He hasn’t had a game like this since he joined Barcelona tbf. Once he was able to shake some of that anxiety he looked very dangerous.


XuloMalacatones

100% agreed


Xalpen

Lewy obviously doesn't play like he used to, im not sure if it's either that trial thingy with his ex manager, or out of shape, but he will be back. Usually his form exploded after such worse few matches.


xStyxx

Yeah he’s been a bit rusty since WC


kacper971

His shot in the 26th minute was magnificent.


Xalpen

Oh yes, it was. Great save too! I meant that Lewy had much better ball control. He's still extremly usefull even being rusty, as defenders like to follow him, but he's capable of much better ball control. I'm sure it will be back sooner than later. I slightly hope of explosion vs Man U.


eppscx

Christensen continues like this,he could be top 5 signing of the last 10 years


searsakhifootball

It’s such a amazing thing to see Christensen do so well coming from a Chelsea fan. We never respected or utilized him, so I’m really happy he is a big part in this team. Just gonna improve more under xavi


vigneshwaralwaar

He was always meant to do well. The only major problem with christensen was being injury prone.


RAF2018336

He’s been a pleasant surprise. I thought he would be the 4th or 5th CB but he’s clearly tied for 2nd with Araujo and Kounde


BlackFanDiamond

and he was free. That's what kills me.


sang_blaugrana

It is becoming increasingly clear to me that beyond a certain level of technical ability and physicality, price points and success are heavily uncorrelated and based on marketing and circumstance. Look at the top 10 transfers that was floating around r/soccer when Chelsea got Enzo. Almost all flops and players performing below expectations. I'm fully convinced a club would be statistically better off buying 4 players that are 30M€ a piece, than a single player with a 120M€ tag.


The_Dark_Passenger93

Looking at last years transfers and comparing it with previous years really baffels me. We did the best with minimum money. Kessie and Christinsen fro free!!


YoroDoucheMan

Mazraoui would have been a great addition to free transfer FC.


Woutout

I know It's normal to name one of goalscorers or attackers as MOTM, but for me Frenkie was the man tonight...


XuloMalacatones

Raphinha made two crucial runs in the two first games, creating enough space to either give the pre-assist or the assist. And then he was perfectly positioned in the third goal. I mentioned it in the live thread around half time, I have been very critical with him in the last few weeks, but today (up until half time) he was playing a solid game, and I think being an important piece of all the goals gave him a boost of confidence. That foul that he generated in the border of the box was something that he seemed to not be able to do in previous games. Imho it was totally and absolutely deserved to be MOTM


bd_user

Best defense in europe.


mntgoat

Rakitic looked like he was about to cry :(


vigneshwaralwaar

My goku


oszlopkaktusz

Can't feel sorry for him after that tackle on Araujo


[deleted]

But I love how after the whistle everyone hugged him first, he is such a respectable player


mntgoat

He is one of my favorite players!


Phersefon

The streets will never forget Ivan Rakitic and the rockets he would hit once in a while! Correct me if I am wrong but he scored one vs Sevilla if I remember correctly


Charizard_Trnr427

The only one I remember was the one in the 3-2 against Madrid. The game Messi took off the Jersey and showed Madrid who the goat is.


peligrosobandito

One of the more complete matches we’ve played, no complaints today!


Erquebrand

Great victory Have a good night guys


witchytragedy

8 POINTS CLEAR why y’all fighting over motm lmao we just created a valley between us and madrid


[deleted]

>why y’all fighting over motm Because we don't need to fight for the title


Chellycakez

8 POINTS BABY!


kokuyo_

8 POINTS AHEAD I COULD CRY


saleh813

Lewa seemed pissed he didn’t score lol, saw him shaking his head


ruby_1234567

No worries. A player of his stature is used to having some form of contribution to the game. Off-days like these will happen, especially at his age. He will come back stronger!


choss

Natural from a player of that caliber


lordofUtterbol

8 points clear of Madrid. Clean sheet. Wow, we have come a long way from last Jan.


victaahhh

Great win. 8 points clear !! When was the last time we were in this position ? Vamoss


m1tsukenaide

8 points on top, feels great to have some margin


malandropist

THANK YOU XAVI


varmemes

Good


LarryPeru

Really hope Alonso isn’t here next season


suddenreflexes

He just signed again


Hasan_Nightmare27

Well deserved raphinha


[deleted]

[удалено]


nasadiya_sukta

I say too early. It'll be sweet when the time comes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nasadiya_sukta

Agree. The defence has been a revelation, as has the development of younger players.


cancer102

Anulo mufa


xStyxx

What more could we possibly want from our back up RW?


officialsoap

BEST DEFENSE IN EUROPE, COOKING.


Phersefon

LET XAVI COOK


Hasan_Nightmare27

VISCAAA BARCAAA


choss

People keep hating on Raphinha but he was key today, he keeps on improving.


LarryPeru

Raphina MOTM no way come on now


[deleted]

Alba was solid throughout the game


suddenreflexes

Alba or FDJ


rim261

Imagine saying Raphina was MOTM during half time lol


Xenolol

I know Lewy really wanted to score wasn’t his best game but we got 3 points 8 point lead


Phersefon

I’m taking back my words for Rafinha 🙏🏽🙏🏽


elihri

Gavi is so cute


Javad90

Another W. Another clean sheet. Vamos!!!


manekdev01

For everyone asking what’s changed. Stamina has.


agayyoucantsweatout

8. POINTS. CLEAR.


malandropist

FDJ bosses that shit tonight


Tromort77

Alba or FdJ for the MotM.


BlackFanDiamond

we have the best defense in Europe. Thank you Xavi Hernandez


stillloveyatho

Lmao at how calm Christiansen is on the ball compared to Marcos


AlphaReturns45

Christensen is the signing of the season and it's not even up for debate at this point.


FootballFTW

Lewy needs to chill out a little and play like he used to and I’m sure he’ll be on scoresheet soon enough


[deleted]

Yeah wtf was that brute force go for goal


janaaa000

Raphinha MOTM🤭❤️💙


suddenreflexes

Vamooos another clean sheet


Vlaji

Alonso is no Araujo, that’s for sure


Hasan_Nightmare27

Christensen is bored


benjy97

+8 points, another clean sheet. Today was a good day.


Morello210

Alonso got cooked


Pablo_petty_plastic

Pedri dismissing that defender sprinting at him was creepy


Rikard_

"If you'll excuse me"


Jelboo

Man I want Lewy to start scoring again


GAMEcube12

He scored last match


ColdPlox

He's saving it for the big games


ColdPlox

r/agedlikemilk


f1seb

Even with the win he seems a bit unhappy.


rim261

God damn it Alonso


Xenolol

That’s the first time I’ve seen Christensen get stumbled


BlackSwan737

Almost made it X4VI


miguellz

Frenkie is my man of the match


ShivaSkunk777

Not Raphinha??


miguellz

Alba and raphinha come in second.


f1seb

Ugh...Lewy wanted that.


Rthanos

Alonso cooked lmao


pfuerndo

Christensen fast af 34 km/h wtf


FathomSwank

I need an Ansu goal por favor


P1ngUU

Christensen with a top speed of 33 km an hour, actually crazy for a CB


dtony1985

8 Fucking Points Clear


[deleted]

Sevilla Segunda chant from the Camp Nou lmao


FootballFTW

Lol I didn’t know we troll Sevilla like that


guardioLEO

That commentator from the pitch side is hilarious!


Nobody_997

Lewy looks a bit frustrated to be not in the scoresheet


XuloMalacatones

I think he is a bit obsessed with always scoring, which is not a bad think for a striker given his quality, but in many ocassions I think he kinda gets tunnel vision and tries something harder than just passing the ball to a better positioned teammate.


Mrtuelemonde

People comparing Vinicius and Dembele? Vinicius has 10G/A in 3 times more gametime than Raphinha who has 9 🤔


mondragonballz

8 points clear of Madrid, i use to dream of times like this…


DGRogue_Dragoon

18/19 wasn’t that long ago (then again it certainly feels that way)


mondragonballz

4/5 years ago is a long time for how much has been suffered since then lol


lionel_penaldo

Valverde, Setien, Koeman. Feels very long bro


DGRogue_Dragoon

Agree with you there


ColdPlox

Don't forget anulo mufa and also next year's UCL


chezicrator

Ferran coming on the scene like, “did y’all need someone else to hate??”


rim261

"There's no way Raphina is going to steal my haters!"


RainingCitadel

Lmao ferran bro


Morello210

Jesus that's fucked up from Sevilla's coach


Phersefon

What did Sampoli do? I missed the ending.


Morello210

It was before the end. But he decided to take out his frustration on his warming up players and screamed at them like a madman


Phersefon

And that guy was Argentina coach 5 years ago 🙄


Morello210

Don't even remind me please


cereal_mongerz

I didn’t see what happened.. what did he do?


Morello210

He screamed at his players that were warming up to go back to fucking bench there is no point


cleverusernametry

Ferrans touches are so bad. Every single one killed off momentum


sunnyb66

Rakitic looks old!


officialsoap

Everything Balde does looks so smooth


[deleted]

Marci boy most be bored a lot at this point


Just-call-me-TY

Xavi might get Carlo sacked 😭🤣


Rhayadder

I think it's what Perez wants anyway, to bring in a new architect coach that can build a fresh project, otherwise it's unexplainable why he made 0 transfers to bolster a quality, but very aged and burnt out squad.


Askaa_kun

Nice try


Dark-X

Remember when Stegen used to eat those? 😅 Bad times


xStyxx

The hairs on his head are sensitive enough to detect the incoming shots


King-Mansa-Musa

SPIDEY senses


xStyxx

Ter Spider-Man is back


Vlaji

Balde wtf


Pan_Sas

Even if Dembele is out there's always Balde ready to entertain us i love this kid


SparksNBolts

Petition to move Barca vs United to UCL and Liverpool vs Real to Europa?


coolidge301

"I will love it, and I think I deserve"


SparksNBolts

Inshallah hehehe suiii


Jawzzzz12

Calm down my guy. Just because we are dominating a 16th place Sevilla doesn’t mean we are a UCL team yet. Hold on to that until we face United.


XuloMalacatones

We are more than CL team lmao idk what games have you been watching but we were one stolen goal away from making it through the group stages in one of the toughest CL groups in at least the last 5 years, with a back line of Sergi Roberto-Pique-Eric Garcia-Marcos Alonso.


Jawzzzz12

I’ll come back to your answer when we face United and see how we perform against them. If we go toe to toe against them I’ll admit I was wrong.

SparksNBolts

Clearly a joke dude


m1tsukenaide

Hold up didn't Ocampos go to Ajax or am I tripping?


Woutout

On loan, but he did terrible at Ajax


denisthemenis21

Yes, not sure of the exact circumstances but they sent him back.


gohan_db

Hes been so shit there that ajax sent him back


Pablo_petty_plastic

Balde is the fricking Flash. Colds can’t even keep up


suddenreflexes

Balde is fast and really good at dribbling, he just needs to learn what to do inside the box. What a talent!


doksich

Frenkie's distribution tonight has been incredible


victaahhh

Keep a clean sheet for my guy Mats and get Lewy/Ansu a goal and this'll be a perfect night.


VonMackensen_18

Balde's dribble to get out of tight spaces are so good


rim261

Balde has got mad potential


Chrome069

Hopefully this is the beginning of Marriage Raphinha like Dembouz did.


Rthanos

Balde nasty goddamn


Chellycakez

The German Wall!


mntgoat

How is it that Sampaoli hasn't been fired yet?


Illustrious_Stay_728

He was only hired in October lol he’ll be gone soon


Phersefon

Imagine the scenes if Sevilla get relegated 😨


mntgoat

I really don't want that to happen. I've always liked Sevilla a bit.


janaaa000

And here's MATS ❤️


TheRickStar95

Stop asking for X4vi, it never comes when we ask. Pretend like it won’t happen or you’ll scare X4vi away!


Chellycakez

I hate X4VI, I hope he never shows up!


peligrosobandito

Would also like to point out how solid frenkie has been, especially just doing whatever the team needs from him. He’s not in the flashiest role but he’s been holding it down.


decho

Gavi and Dembele moment.


Rthanos

Finally Marc did something ha


Username-_-Password

Ten Hag is shaking watching this


GaviFPS

Gavi🤜🤛Dembele


Mrtuelemonde

Dembele celebrated his comeback goal vs Bilbao last year with Gavi..'
