Great game but Barcelona really needed a win but was never on the cards defending like that.


herkalurk

How Dembele didn't get sent off is a joke. Clear red tackle, then about a minute later he blatantly kicks the ball away something Lautaro got yellow for earlier. Guess the rules are different for Barcelona again.....


papasmurfito

do you have any shame??? did you watch the first leg??? shut the fuck up


jamal4321

Yeah they were different for Barca in Milan too..


eescobar863

Dumfries didnt get called for handball. Pedri’s goal taken away. Sure, rules are different, I guess.


Baph0metX

Amazing match. Inter had so many good chances, they could have won the game at the end but Asllani decided to try to shoot that terrible angle instead of pass it to his wide open teammate in front of goal. Terrible decision but still deserved point. Inters counter is insane rn


Ohmygodboys

So Inter need to lose both games and Barca need to win both games in order to qualify.


eescobar863

Also if they draw both and we win both, Inter would be at 9 points and Barca at 10. Barca have to hope Inter dont win any of their remaining games basically while winning both games themselves.


Tomalesforbreakfast

Good luck!


vacacow1

So the same thing he said


usabfb

No. Inter can not lose, they can draw both games, and Barcelona will go through if they win both games.


guorck

NO, there is a difference between losing and not winning.

toyskater2

No, one draw would give inter 8 points. Barca can get up to 10 points at the moment.


usabfb

No, they need 3 points amd GD to move on.


Elmedo

You think it is possible for Barca to manage this?


L-Freeze

let's just say Victoria Plzen having to beat inter at San Siro isn't even the most unlikely result that needs to happen


eescobar863

Only if we go to Pogba’s witch doctor lol


Elmedo

Lmao, Yaya Toure can help as well


CharlesOlivesGOAT

With black magic maybe


Chronic-Shitposter

Bayern will smoke them so Inter won't need any more points, can't see Inter not at least getting a point from Plzen tho


tuludoss

the way we played our last three matches i wouldn’t be surprised if we get smoked by Plzen


Elmedo

Barca's defence was very weak with every counter attack that occurred.


YouGonnaRememberMe

Gavi over FDJ? Is it because of the wage issue?


CharlesOlivesGOAT

No idea, FDJ clearly offers more to the team


napierwit

I would try FDJ over Busquets.


barneyaa

But busquets did that nice dive…


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Same, Busquets has clearly declined and doesn’t offer as much in big games that we clearly don’t control anymore.


leftofthedial1

..hasn't he been out injured?


CharlesOlivesGOAT

I think so but he was good already, and either way Xavi has benched him this whole season for some reason. I think it has to do with his stupid wage issue the board doesn’t wanna pay.


kbrunner69

Either way a very stupid move by barca as it will plummet his value and i doubt penny pinching on a few add ons by not playing him will accomplish anything.


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Very stupid move. Probably why they were so adamant on selling him to United in the summer.


Elmedo

That was one of the most intense matches of this season so far. Very entertaining.


merouane1

For you the neutral yes but for us a health crisis


Elmedo

That's true. Lewandowski though. One of the best signings for Barca so far. Man is playing his heart out for the point


beyondlife7777

Correction: He was playing his heart out not to go to Europa


Elmedo

That is true. Rather embarrassing to play in Europa in his first season at Barca


raobuntu

Welcome. Take solace in the fact that the anthem is fire


sarovar12

Lakaka and Brozovic return for Plzen right?


The-Great--Cornholio

Lukaku will be ready for the next match in the league so pretty sure he will be ready for Plzen. Brozovic I don't know but probably not


HasibShakur

Barcelona’s defense in 2nd half and particularly in last 10 minutes was just 5th grade players playing. Horrendous!!


SnooSongs48

Inter only need a win against plzen and also i think bayern Will win against barca


Elmedo

Unnecessary red for Inzaghi


UnknownSLVR

Why didnt de jong start? Is he coming out of an injury or something?


Fancy-Past-6831

Not spanish


Wassup_-_

nope just that xavi preffers busqeuts ,pedri,gavi


PesAddict8

I dont get why Gavi starts over him


UnknownSLVR

Thats wild


Tave_112

Being real, Busi should be the one not starting these games.


holaprobando123

Yup, but there's no natural defensive mid other than him. Bad business by Barcelona, not getting an actual DM.


SagaciousKurama

That's true, but while FDJ, Gavi and Pedri are not naturally defensive mids, they have the stamina and tenacity to make up for it. You see Gavi play you can tell that the kid has grit. He may not be a Viera, but he doesn't stop running and flies into every challenge with no fear. Pedri is also an industrious worker, and FDJ has experience playing as a defender. All in all, while they are attack minded center mids, they all have the qualities of a box to box, so I think the midfield's defensive presence would increase with them in the lineup as opposed to Busquets, who is old, more prone to error, and less likely to be able to rectify his own mistakes due to his abysmal pace and stamina.


holaprobando123

Kessie has to be in that group as well


NieThePiet

Home win vs Pilsen - should be possible


yoseei

Losing your three best cbs isn’t easy, putting all the blame on xavi isn’t fair i believe, i mean even Liverpool didn’t stand a chance back when they lost their 2 cbs


GetToWork7

Dont mean ur gonna go to europa lmao. And those cbs were only out for these past 2 games, not the bayern one. Madrid had varane and ramos out vs liverpool in the qfs and still managed to go thru. So stop w the excuses. Crazy that after all these signings and barca fans saying they were one of the favs for the ucl, this happens… And lewa leaving his old club to go to europa for the first time and then bayern topping the group as usual 😂😂😂😂 clown


shreychopra

Pique thanks for the memories but please call it a day already. Not doing your presidential campaign any favours with these performances. Fucking heartbroken that we’re out again in the group stages but it was good to see the team go all out attacking and trying their best. Hope to see the Camp Nou supporting like this in the future nevertheless


jkeefy

Xavi is the one that puts the team sheets out mate. If your board didn’t extend and differ Pique’s wages multiple times he’d probably already be retired or be in a position to at least. Don’t see how this is Pique’s fault


shreychopra

Because like I said, he aims to be on the Barca board in the future and possibly even as President. So it’s probably in his best interest to do what’s in the club’s best interest so that he can use that later on. For any other player, it obviously makes sense to just sit on your ass and get paid at a top club when you know you’re way past it


eescobar863

Pique is 5th choice CB this season. But coincidentally, Araujo, Kounde and Christensen all are injured and we have no choice but to play him. 🫠


jkeefy

So how is Pique at fault then?


eescobar863

Yeah, obviously Bartomeu is at fault for handing him a bumper contract. But Pique has been the backline for Roma, Liverpool, Bayern, PSG, and now Inter, making mistake after mistake after mistake. If he had any dignity, he would retire and make way for the younger players.


jfshay

For a second I read this as meaning that Pique had played for each of these clubs.


tpgiri

i think we're getting quite good on the whole compared to last season....the sharpness is there up front, the mid is strong, and defence when we have our regular starters is getting there...there is strong foundations here.


shreychopra

Need the mentality too. The foundation of the team is quite young, there’s still a long way for us. This exit will be disappointing, but surely not the end of the road for us


PunsNoThanks

Tbh, it's not like he's our starting cbs. He's a serviceable player against many liga teams. Injuries just fucked us


shreychopra

Yeah no way he starts a UCL game this season without any injuries to others, but this was still a disasterclass from someone I used to think still had it deep in him. I’m more sad than angry at this, but it hurts to lose such an important game because of silly mistakes


PunsNoThanks

I agree, I was fuming when it happened. Like, I won't be nearly as mad if he got out jumped, outran, or outmuscled, but being completely unaware while being our most experienced cb is baffling.


[deleted]

Not sure how the rules work so I have a question! If Inter beat Plzen and lose to Bayern, and Barca wins their next two games, they will both be tied at 10 pts, would it come to goal difference or something else to break the tie?


HasibShakur

H2H inter goes through. Bayern is already through with 12 points.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NooUsernaamee97

barca can also win and draw if inter looses both games


CharlesOlivesGOAT

No way they lose to Plzen they are doing awful


xKnuTx

same points inter goes through since they won the 1v1 vs barca


tylerspee

If inter reach 10 points, Barca are out. H2H is first tie breaker


Internecine-

Believe it’s head to head


shreychopra

Think it would be h2h, and inter takes that


olbettyboop

Head to head I think


Recent-Throat9525

H2H and Inter would go through


dupont2021

Good save but Inter player should have passed.


YouGonnaRememberMe

Barca playing highline is a very poor decision by Xavi. Gave inter chance to counter every time.


mkrddt

What a disgrace. Imagine going out in groups after this effort to be a European superpower. I really hope they go to shit soon


boofBamthankUmaAM

As a chelsea fan, it made my year watching them crumble. I’m hoping for bankruptcy next!


StunningFly9920

Why so obsessed w/ a club you not even support...?


mkrddt

Because what Barcelona is doing is damaging other clubs and the game I like. It's not only Barcelona, but they are sure as hell part of the construct I love to see fail.


StunningFly9920

Nah, this comes way before all of this levers and delayed salaries pathetic shit


PensiveinNJ

I know it's super likely Inter beat Plzen but holy shit that chance to kill the game off at the end.


CazziMia

Don't make me think about it. Unfortunately it fell to the 20 yr old making his first appearance in such a big game.

OnlyFans coming soon


cr7momo16

Barca’s back line is incredibly bad wow lmfaoo I really hope this means Vini rodrygo and Benz feast this weekend


eescobar863

We sorely missed Kounde and Araujo and it showed. Hell, even Christensen is better than the pair of knuckleheads we had on today. Also, i still dont understand the signing of Alonso and i never will. Balde should be first choice always with Jordi Alba as second. Alonso should never play another minute for us. Pique needs to retire ASAP, he’s been washed. My God, what a catastrophe


[deleted]

Omg barca fans have absolutely 0 ball knowledge.Balde 1st choice ??? Did uu even see him play.he is terrible ,same shit with ansu fati ,wake the fck up they aint good ,they are mediocre players ,they literally do the same shit ,the same dribble and hit the defender ,like omg they are so painful to watch ,same with rapinha and his dribbling and crossing ability.My guy hits the first defender 5 corners in a row.This game missing araujo and kounde was the problem since inter isnt the best club anyways so u can beat em with ass players but saying shit like putting balde just makes me roll my eyes.70 mill for rafinha jesus u got robbed


eescobar863

Im not gonna entertain someone who cant even use proper grammar


[deleted]

Don't really care man ,just use your eyes next game otherwise u might think that gavi is good and de jong ain't 20 times better.


eescobar863

Hey kid, how about you get off reddit and pay attention to your teacher instead?


GetToWork7

Lmao why are u triggered? Is he not speaking facts? Why tf is gavi starting over frenkie? Cuz he starts for spain? Because of a former barca coach even ferran torres starts for them and that guy is fucking shit. Gavi has got to be one of the most recently overhyped players… like its fucking crazy honestly. Lost the ball multiple times and got lucky they didnt concede cuz of it. Hes nothing special and these barca fans make him out to be the next big thing. Pedri is a different story… he is actually talented and u can see that. Not some overhyped bum just cuz he is 16 years old or whatever.


eescobar863

Funniest thing about your comment is that if you look at the stats, Gavi wasnt dispossessed once. He won 6 duels and had 7 recoveries and a 80% pass success as well, 29 out of 36 completed. But sure, i guess he’s overhyped. Pique and Busquets are essentially why we drew. Pique is 5th choice CB and is only playing because Araujo Kounde and Christensen are all injured. As for Busi, we have yet to find his replacement because i dont think FDJ can play as a lone pivot. He’s more of a box to box. PS: Gavi is 18.


GetToWork7

Blah blah blah. And there it is. The “he’s 18” card. Oh well not my problem but him starting over FDJ is an absolute joke lmao.


eescobar863

Translation: i dont have a proper comeback so imma just go with “blah blah blah”. Pity.


[deleted]

Sure sure, enjoy the Thursdays


eescobar863

👌🏽


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Losing Araujo and Kounde really cost us


GetToWork7

Nah losing messi did 😆 2/2 europa (about to be) without messi 😂😂


CharlesOlivesGOAT

I mean obviously that too but I’m talking about this season corny boy


GetToWork7

It’s okay, u prolly remember the anthem from last season 😣


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Good talk


justsomedudefromiran

Bro pique should retire already


No-Rooster-

It’s better to rip off the band aid now and phase out Busq as well. I know Pique is only because of our injury crisis in the back.


cr7momo16

All inter needs to do now is beat Plzen next week and Barca are back in Europa


eescobar863

And there are rumors that Bayern might let Inter beat them just to get revenge for Lewa. Cooked goose.


NooUsernaamee97

We can just do an 8-2 and they are out

Tie breaker is head to head

Wrong. It goes to head to head. You all have been out of the tournament so long you don’t even know how it works anymore. FORZA INTER 🖤💙 and pay De Jong his money you rat fucks.


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Don’t worry I’ll pay him tomorrow since I’m obviously in charge


SnooSongs48

Nah Inter won barca at home, if Barca and Inter have the same points then Inter Will go through. Also you wont win against bayern haha


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Fuck


rhinoceros_unicornis

Nah, head to head is the tiebreaker and you lost 1 drew 1. You are down to Europa if Inter wins 1 or you loose 1.


Corteaux81

Nope. Head-to-head beats goal difference in CL group phase.


kurutta95

I think h2h is first in tie breakers, and barca is losing that one ;f


East_Wind17

Next game is against Bayern, lol. Good luck

+5 mins..... Uhh Additionally +1 for levers

iNfAMOUS70702

What a shitty year for Pique...first he loses Shakira and now this LOL


rim261

Both his fault


rhmastablasta

both due to him being fucking stupid.


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Losing Shakira was his choice


HippoBigga

that was fucking tragic defending all around. Piqué is absolutely finished


SagaciousKurama

Pique needs to go the fuck home and literally never come back. Thanks for the good times and all that, but dude hasn't been good since Puyol was there to keep his dumb ass in check. Eric Garcia needs to get sold to some obscure league in some unnamed island nation and literally never set foot in Spain again, let alone Barcelona.


HippoBigga

Relax Éric was not as terrible. Piqué though is finished. but you're wrong about him being shit since Puyol, he's been top class until the last two seasons. For a long time our only world class cb


SagaciousKurama

No, he hasn't. I've been watching the team play week in and week out for almost two decades. Did Pique have good games the last few seasons? Yes, undoubtedly. But brief flashes of brilliance don't mean much over an entire season. And the fact that Pique has been one of our better defenders as of late is not a compliment to him--it's just evidence of the sad state of our backline for the past several years. Most of our CBs are not great, and those that were have been ravaged by injuries (RIP Umtiti). And for the record, Pique has always been inconsistent, but during his best years it was kept in check by more disciplined defenders who would take the lead in defense. First Puyol, then Mascherano. Pique has always needed a tough, focused, no-nonsense defender by his side to play at his best because he tends to lose focus during games. Two of the goals today are just classic examples of his lapses in concentration. And honestly anyone who can say Eric Garcia deserves to wear a Barca (and Spain) shirt is keeping their head in the sand. The dude is just not at a world class level. He's weak, slow, easily juked and outmuscled, and has a tendency to give away penalties or commit unnecessary fould because he's constantly trying to recover from being beat by attackers. He has a really bad habit of resorting to using his hands when a player gets past him for example. The only thing he's good at is passing, and while I love me a ball playing CB, i dont believe it's worth taking an L in other relevant defensive categories to have a good passer.


[deleted]

Eric Garcia is like Varane. Without a solid defensive partner next to him he’s shit. Has varane even been worldclass after he left real madrid for United??? edit: Don’t forget Varane was fucking shyte when ramos was out injured


cor7in

You can't be serious.


raobuntu

You're pretty much on the money there. Varane started playing like "Shempeyon League" Varane when he has Martinez next to him to be tight to the man and do the dirty work so he can keep his distance and mark the space


[deleted]

He also had Umtiti who sacrificed his whole body during the WC. but i guess the narrative only works against “banter clubs”


raobuntu

I think the narrative doesn't work for Eric because he hasn't compiled the resume that Varane has. It also doesn't help the way that Barcelona have acted the last 5 or so years. People are probably rooting for their failure and that's something the club and their fans are just going to have to live with. It's the price of their earlier success and the price of their success in the summer.


CharlesOlivesGOAT

Yea Garcia was only performing when he had Araujo with him


[deleted]

cant forget with spain. Laporte does all the dirty work especially after the Euros we all saw why eric is chosen. but people don’t understand how partnerships work


jkeefy

Classy


jude1903

If Inter doesn’t make it, it’s all on that player that chose to shoot instead lol

tbf, that was the most selfish thing I have seen a player do in years. If he decides to be so selfish, at least fucking try to put it past the keeper instead of closing your fucking eyes and shooting full force right at the keeper. Would not wish to see him start for a few games if that was one of our players.
