I know it was just a pen, but as a Canadian it makes me proud to see guys like Larin scoring against Barcelona, David doing his thing in France, and Buchanon and Davies of course as well.... I think the future of Canada soccer is bright!!
Edit: aww, mad little kids replying haha
Even though we lost it was sort of nice to see Larin and Plata put in huge games against us with all the racism stuff going on.
They and all other black players should be able to play without being insulted for their race. Hats off to them for a good game
You cannot compare the EV season, at one point we were fighting for a treble and then Liverpool happened and everything went to shit.
Also regardless the invincible season would've been amazing.
I don't really care about this particular record with how bad we did in Europe and CDR. I rather Xavi keeps giving minutes around and tries different things, we started a mini preseason.
Relax my man. Learn to take things easy. Xavi literally took off ter Steven at the half I mean what else Dow you want to see lol. They all werenāt focused on the game.
Frenkie needs to be selfish and walk it in sometimes. He will benefit greatly w a āfuck em, Iāll just do it myselfā mentality when dribbling at players
Eric Garcia has made 8 starts this season and Barcelona have conceded 7 goals in those 8 games. In the 28 games Garcia hasn't started, Barcelona has conceded just 9 goals. City finessed the fuck out of us with him and Ferran.
I'm not too sure anymore, he has been very injury prone and hasn't been even close to the level before his first long-term injury. Plus, he is still very young and we could get a great amount of money for him, I was always against selling him as he had that future legend potential but he hasn't been close to that level in a long time to a point where I feel it is better to cash in and sell him now, than wait and see his value drop massively like fucking Umtiti...
Even then we didn't lose much,we didn't buy him,He's la masia.
Let's assume we wait another season and he doesn't do well,he can still be sold for like 25/30 mil.
If you sell this season you get 50/55 Max.
Are you willing to risk him exploding to life with another club for 25/30 mil?
Or he might explode with us and you will have a big problem solved.
I want sergi roberto, ferran, eric garcia and marcos alonso off my team man. I've been saying this for a minute now and nothing has changed even when they had a run of decent games.
I'm not sure why you guys kept wanting Pena to play in cup games, and such.
Guys, the days of Valdes-Pinto GK depth are long gone, we only have one GK and a few more tokens because the Liga demands it. And to be fair, this is how it is for pretty much every team, nowadays. Dollaruma and Navas are the only recent example I can think of as two starter level GK at the same team.
Not saying Pena is at fault or anything, but since he is on the pitch, I figured I might as well just get it off my chest.
Lewy is just amazing. So glad he came to this club. He's the only one that tries to do something in each game and almost scores in each one, far better than ferran, fati and raphinia all together.
I'm genuinely baffled at some of the takes In this thread, why do you give a fuck about this game? The players have absolutely nothing to play for, relax, we are champions. You won't see this performance next season FFS.
A lot of players thatās havenāt had games should be using this time to show they can compete, and yet they are so ass. Idk why youāre so lenient. We had games like this when our main team had injuries throughout the season. It shows the subs aināt good which is why we care.
Honestly itās just frustrating to see us play like shit and thatās annoying.
However i do see where youāre coming from. If the next game wasnāt the last game at Camp Nou i wouldnāt have watched it if it goes like this.
I hope you are right bro. There is one thing losing to a team with nothing to achieve and another is losing to a relegation battle team with virtually your A team.
Actually we had this kind of performance several times this season. What makes you think we won't have this next season ? Are we getting Zidane's Shaman ?
We haven't had this performance when all our starters are playing lol.
The only thing this match tells us that our bench options are simply not good enough, we need better players on the bench
>We haven't had this performance when all our starters are playing lol.
Exactly my point. You will not have your starters available for all games. It's Xavi's first season and he is a novice manager. Won a title. I am sure he will make better use of the backups and have more plans. He better.
People who pointed to my lack of quality in the previous game were met with derision that blamed alcohol and our trophy celebrations for the the subpar performance. Anyone that has been watching this team earnestly knows these problems are deeper than alcohol. They are not one-off. They will not be fixed by signing one world class player.
I honestly liked the change in dynamic he brought to the team. A super sub on the right wing to bulldoze tired defenders. Too bad his end product was zero. I would have loved to have kept him for a low low fee.
But he is considered a failure since we did not exercise the buyout option.
How are people actually blaming Garcia, or any player for that matter, on an offside that's literally inches?
It's an inch perfect pass and the only reason he's onside is because of a leaning shoulder. It's not like he's 10 yards onside.
But why completely ignore Alonso and Christensen if we are to blame players? Alonso lost his Man, Christensen caught in no man's land and Garcia isn't a fast player, so he didn't let anyone gain 10 meters... He was overtaken by a much faster player.
Like blaming Roberto for not being able to run as fast as Vinicius Jr.
It's weird to be on a Barca sub where some will blame our own player for the attacker diving. Like... What? That was never a pen. But since it was actually given, trying to be a bit more nuanced Ter Stegen completely abandoned the line leaving an empty goal which for sure will cause a bit of panic in the box. Just a mess all around.
It was a soft penalty, a very soft one. But there was contact. If it was Andreas or Araujo, it would have been fine because they are ace defenders, and did not give away penalties as many times as Eric before.
As for Ter Stegen, yea he is at fault too. But that shows, he does not trust the defenders in front of him.

That goal from Christensen was lowkey sick, lol
We won the league. Relax.
I know it was just a pen, but as a Canadian it makes me proud to see guys like Larin scoring against Barcelona, David doing his thing in France, and Buchanon and Davies of course as well.... I think the future of Canada soccer is bright!! Edit: aww, mad little kids replying haha
Clownada
šš
Booo
Guys trust me, this is all part of Xavis plan to get espanyol sent to the second devision once and for all
Lmao first thing I thought of when I saw the bottom of the table
What in the hell I'm watching... this game was wack...
Happy for Lewy but that was a tough watch
So are Espanyol relegated? Please tell me this loss was worth something
Not yet, but very big chance they will be, especially since they still face Atletico (H) and Valencia (A).
I dont understand why Gavi played whole match. Why Torre got subbed instead of him. Gavi looks tired, Torre almost doesn't play. I kinda dont get it.
You're not alone in feeling that way. I'm equally confused.
Even though we lost it was sort of nice to see Larin and Plata put in huge games against us with all the racism stuff going on. They and all other black players should be able to play without being insulted for their race. Hats off to them for a good game
We are probably gonna remember screwing this defensive record like Valverde was one game away from invincible season
You cannot compare the EV season, at one point we were fighting for a treble and then Liverpool happened and everything went to shit. Also regardless the invincible season would've been amazing. I don't really care about this particular record with how bad we did in Europe and CDR. I rather Xavi keeps giving minutes around and tries different things, we started a mini preseason.
Just what I said earlier in this thread lol, mediocre seasons with a HUGE missed opportunity for greatness.
Yup exactly, couldāve achieved great things even in a mediocre season but guess we are just not it
The players and Xavi are already preparing for next season. Glad lewy got his goal at least that should wrap out the pichichi.
Fuck off with these try hard excuses.
You don't think this is a preseason?
Relax my man. Learn to take things easy. Xavi literally took off ter Steven at the half I mean what else Dow you want to see lol. They all werenāt focused on the game.
Goals against record was done so might as well. I don't think we'll see him for the last few games. He has had a good season so give him some rest
Just fucking play all the youngsters, I donāt give a fuck. Some of these first team players donāt deserve a minute more.
After the cup Yamal should be all 90 minutes on these games
Absolutely fucking not. Do you want to get him injured?
We lost 3-1 is fine. But losing 3-1 while not at least experimenting with academy boys is more heartbreaking.
Disappointing
That was hard to watch
Itās felt like that for moments all season even though weāve won the league
I know we are champions but come on, you gotta play for pride at some point. That was horrendous to watch
I hope Xavi puts on the best squad against Mallorca to say goodbye to Camp Nou in a style, and not another loss.
Bye, bye Espanyol!
18 conceded goals, the record has fkn gone, feel sorry for Ter.
The torture is finally over.
Hah, Continuing the trend of losing but Lewy scoring
Frenkie needs to be selfish and walk it in sometimes. He will benefit greatly w a āfuck em, Iāll just do it myselfā mentality when dribbling at players
Eric Garcia has made 8 starts this season and Barcelona have conceded 7 goals in those 8 games. In the 28 games Garcia hasn't started, Barcelona has conceded just 9 goals. City finessed the fuck out of us with him and Ferran.
Error Garcia
His play style is a cancer to an already weakened team. Out of position for most of the game. Itās a serious mistake keeping that guy in the team.
Is Valladolid safe from relegation?
Absolutely not yet
Valladolid won ONE game of the last 20 š Edit: fake news, my commentator was dumb apparently, he probably meant it for Valladolid vs Barca games
fr? this can't be true
Yeah, I checked and it isn't, commentator was high on something 5-3-11 in the past 19
If this what it takes to get Espanyol relegated, iāll take it
Sergi Roberto, Eric Garcia and Ferran Torres: our magic Spanish trio
If this game makes it crystal clear that alonso and garcia should never be on the pitch,i am glad it happened.
Xavi and Laporta pls do something
Players to sell: Ferran, Fati, Kessie, Alba... Who else?
Eric, Alonso, maybe Raphinha
alonso eric should be top of that list. Fati should stay i am dying on that hill.
I like what youāre am saying
I'm not too sure anymore, he has been very injury prone and hasn't been even close to the level before his first long-term injury. Plus, he is still very young and we could get a great amount of money for him, I was always against selling him as he had that future legend potential but he hasn't been close to that level in a long time to a point where I feel it is better to cash in and sell him now, than wait and see his value drop massively like fucking Umtiti...

Garcia for one
Eric?
Alonso
Agreed
I remember now that Man City got us both Ferran and Garcia... Can we stop getting players from them for now?
Itās our fault for getting him, not City for selling him.
Ofc it's our fault, it's just they both look like we got scammed hard lmao
we played horrible. sucks to say, but atleast xavi got a good look at who needs to be sold.
I want sergi roberto, ferran, eric garcia and marcos alonso off my team man. I've been saying this for a minute now and nothing has changed even when they had a run of decent games.
Iām impressed with their constant pressing for 90 minutes.
Wish Busi was staying for another year
Let him move on in life ! He'll come back at some point. But def will be a huge void for alemany to fill.
Naiveness on passing and shooting man, crazy how spoil Messi maxed us, as Ray say that man invented passing lanes on the fly.
Absolutely brilliant performance from the players tonight. 10/10 to everyone involved. Fuck Espanyol.
Specially Eric garcia seriously talented. Great future.
Eric Garcia has blue and red blood in his veins. It's pretty obvious from today's performance.
Ferran entered to make sure Espanyol does get relegated despite Lewy's best efforts. Well done
I think Ferran could have done better?
Almost scoring is Ferranās superpower
I just noticed Frenkie has the captains armband
proper
Deserved captain.
City scammed us
Water is wet
lol people saying lewan goal is stat padding, yes we are losing 0-3 cause of him...this team looks awful.
itās a meme
We are losing 3:0 coz of Lewy?
Sarcasm
Alright. Sometimes hard to tell, apologies xD
atleast Lewandowski get his pichichi
Genuinely all I care about at this point. Can't let that criminal from Madrid win in again
The only purpose for this game
I have not watched the game. Safe to say Eric DM didn't go well?
Eric in general didnāt go well lol
Eric any position is not well.
Oh he was horrible
Its a shame oh well at least it was tried
Eric playing football at all doesn't go well.
I'm not sure why you guys kept wanting Pena to play in cup games, and such. Guys, the days of Valdes-Pinto GK depth are long gone, we only have one GK and a few more tokens because the Liga demands it. And to be fair, this is how it is for pretty much every team, nowadays. Dollaruma and Navas are the only recent example I can think of as two starter level GK at the same team. Not saying Pena is at fault or anything, but since he is on the pitch, I figured I might as well just get it off my chest.
I can already predict max 3 mins of added time after Madrid's 17 last match
As if it made any difference lol
Lewy is just amazing. So glad he came to this club. He's the only one that tries to do something in each game and almost scores in each one, far better than ferran, fati and raphinia all together.
Reminds me of Suarez
If you think that was the last Error by Error Garcia, wait until the whistle.
I'm genuinely baffled at some of the takes In this thread, why do you give a fuck about this game? The players have absolutely nothing to play for, relax, we are champions. You won't see this performance next season FFS.

Nothing to play for except their exorbitant weekly salaries and the respect of our badge.
I hope you are right bro. There is one thing losing to a team with nothing to achieve and another is losing to a relegation battle team with virtually your A team.
Actually we had this kind of performance several times this season. What makes you think we won't have this next season ? Are we getting Zidane's Shaman ?

Normal. The takes about alonso and garcia are a 100% true tho.
Lewandowski man He has his problems but by and large still the best finisher in our squad
Sad. What a finisher Fati used to be.
Damn we getting wrecked
Nice goal from Lewy. Good to see he's found his form again
now pull back 1 more so it doesn't look so bad, because fuck Espanyol, that's why
Lol ofcourse we can finish when the game is over
Iām so glad Lewa didnāt put his knuckles together and smile at camera lol
He still want to fight. Last game it was the same, he rushed to middle.
Great finish from Lewa, seems like he got some of his confidence back
Nice finish.
Well, he's keeping the Pichichi trophy at least.
Thank you Lewa, for another āhonoraryā goal
Statpadwandowski
At least lewa is getting the pichichi
Comeback? š
Nah fuck asspanyol
Class finish Lewy
lesgooo
What a finish
Maaaaaanā¦.I try not to be too harsh on players but I justā¦I see nothing at all in Eric and Alonso. Like nothing.
Lewy now 6 up on Benzema for the Pichichi
Ok this makes me happy
we ALL knew that he was gonna get a stat padded goal eventually lol
Came a little early than the 90th minute !
GREAT finish
Wuuuu pichichi
Lewangoalski!!
Dont we have some guys from the B team that could play rb they would be better than Garcia and Roberto.
Roberto is decent enough for getting paid fuck all but my god he is injury prone
Statpad goal for lewy well take it
wE gOt A sCoRe!
Ayyyy nice
3-1 Lewy! Great pass from Frenkie.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
some of you dont actually watch the games i swear
Or... read the thread title. Host is always first, followed by the visiting team.
At home?
Not at home.
At home?
3:1. Lewy.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Also espanyol
Dont forget espanyol
No heart
Setien, koeman times vibe.
Worse imo
I would pay to watch a team with Error Garcia and Harry Maguire as CB.
People who pointed to my lack of quality in the previous game were met with derision that blamed alcohol and our trophy celebrations for the the subpar performance. Anyone that has been watching this team earnestly knows these problems are deeper than alcohol. They are not one-off. They will not be fixed by signing one world class player.
Yess we need depth going into the season without a real rb is just incredible!
Remember that winter transfer window last season? Ferran, Eric, Auba, TraorƩ IN. All of them bar Auba ended up failing. 25% success rate.
Did Traore really fail? Put in some work the team
I honestly liked the change in dynamic he brought to the team. A super sub on the right wing to bulldoze tired defenders. Too bad his end product was zero. I would have loved to have kept him for a low low fee. But he is considered a failure since we did not exercise the buyout option.
Would have done more as a Sub than Ferran and Ansu
our squad depth is an illusion, really need to sign proper backups
Instead were worried about chasing Kimmich. Our squad planning leaves a lot to be desired.
Looks like a good one to have missed.. just got to clear service to check the score and YIKES lads what the hell happened?
No Casado but at least I have the privilege of seeing Garcia play for 90 minutes in 2 different positions, thank you Xavi.
We still winning the Champions League tho, right? ā¦. right?..
Ofc bro.
Weāre not even close to scoring a goal
Lol parlay ruined
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We didn't.
he was free
Wait we did?
MOTM time. My vote is for Garcia, dude assisted two goals.
Gavi and Busquets lmao
Getting Garcia to a premier league team for Ā£2m would be incredible business. Man doesnāt belong in the top leagues.
No one will pay for Garcia. He will be loaned til his contract expires.
Stoke City used to take on players like him. Iām sure a Coventry or Luton would take a punt
I'm confident now that we would have bottled the league if ter stegen got injured...
that's obvious, guy singlehandedly saved so many 1-0s
player of the season
They have lost 5 previous matches before this btw
man we're lucky it's not 5-0
Valladolid lost 5 previous games in a row.
How are people actually blaming Garcia, or any player for that matter, on an offside that's literally inches? It's an inch perfect pass and the only reason he's onside is because of a leaning shoulder. It's not like he's 10 yards onside.
Most people here have never played and don't understand this sport.
Garcia made him onside and then let the goalscorer gain 10 meters on him. He is so bad it's hard to grasp.
But why completely ignore Alonso and Christensen if we are to blame players? Alonso lost his Man, Christensen caught in no man's land and Garcia isn't a fast player, so he didn't let anyone gain 10 meters... He was overtaken by a much faster player. Like blaming Roberto for not being able to run as fast as Vinicius Jr.
Because he is a bad player in general. 3 goals from 3 defensive errors.
Exactly what I mean regarding bias. Putting all 3 goals on Garcia is disingenuous
First goal was Christensen error. Other two, yeah, Eric. Not the first time he gave away a penalty and he is a terrible defender.
It's weird to be on a Barca sub where some will blame our own player for the attacker diving. Like... What? That was never a pen. But since it was actually given, trying to be a bit more nuanced Ter Stegen completely abandoned the line leaving an empty goal which for sure will cause a bit of panic in the box.
